SPREADUM: The Lohan Train Rolls On To Italy

SPREADUM: The Lohan Train Rolls On To Italy

It’s been quite the last few months for everyone’s favorite delinquent Lindsay Lohan.  From jail to magazine covers to showing off her ample bosom in last week’s Machete, Lindsay’s showing no signs of letting up–a fact that is more than evidenced by her recent shoot for Italian label Fornarina.  Check out a gallery after the j-u-m-p.

Act da Fool: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Proenza Schouler

Proenza Schouler‘s Fall 10 video editorial (videtorial?) is kind of amazing. Jack and Lazaro enlisted Harmony Korine, one of the scribes behind Kids, the modern classic of youth gone wildly astray, which incidentally launched the career of one Miss Chloë Sevigny.

The short features a group of poor, stunning and jaded black girls  in Proenza’s Gothic schoolgirl chic, drinking 40s of Olde English (the champagne of malt liquor), vandalizing property and generally not giving a fuck. The clothes are great — I literally want everything the girls have on — and the setting and the girls themselves present a really interesting dichotomy.

The duo have admitted themselves that their clothes are super expensive and yet their video is set in the ghetto with girls who are not, to put it lightly, their average clientèle. Are they trying to make a comment on materialism, commercialism, capitalism or any other -ism you care to examine?  Or like me, do they just enjoy really fierce black girls?

I don’t see why it can’t be both. Either way, Proenza Schouler has one of the most interesting and arresting marketing tools of the season.

The Calvin Klein Ad They Don’t Want You To See

All I can think about is where those tattoos are hiding…

Jack Mackenroth has Synnamon Buns. NSFW

Jack Mackenroth has Synnamon Buns. NSFW

If you call being a reality show also-ran a career. Jack Mackenroth, of PJ Runway “fame,” shows off his rather impressive assets for New York photog, Thomas Synnamon. And I don’t know about you, but nothing says “art” like a naked man straddling a chair.

There’s also a little backdoor action, but rest assured, it’s still classy. There’s a demure, long sleeve black top above those buns of steel. More NSFW images after the jump.

What? Yup, you got it. Lou Doillon told WWD at Fashion’s Night Out in Paris last night that she’s walking for Tom Ford next week in New York. It sounds like he’s having that secret womenswear show after all! But about Doillon’s Pucci outfit – not sure I dig.

X Men: The Boring Class

January Jones and stunt double walk about in their mod-on-a-budget costumes on the set of X-Men: The New Class, prompting this blogger to ask: Did they just wrap them up in a roll of Bounty then cinch it at the waist, slap a disemboweled stuffed polar bear on their heads and called it a day with a Payless go-go boot?
