Ad-Dict: Tom Ford Eyewear

Tom Ford is never one to shy away on a photo shoot, so when I saw chicken being used in this ad, I was not in the least bit surprised. The big, full hair brings up thoughts of Jackie Kennedy and Amy Winehouse (never thought I would say those two names in the same sentence). Well at least we know Tom feeds his models!

 

Thanks FabSugar

Before They Had Stylists: Katy Perry

Before:

After:

Though Katy Perry herself has a very unique style, it is quite apparent a few adjustments have been made in her look of late. She has always been a mix between Amy Winehouse and Dita Von Teese in my eyes, and I think her new look only reinforces that view. When your debut single tops the charts for ten or so weeks, your label is willing to toss some extra money your way, and it looks like Katy spent it well on a good stylist. Katy is constantly seen wearing young, up-and-coming, indie designers which we love so much about her. She has also been seen rocking some New york Couture as well!

TrendSpark: The Crazies

Amy Winehouse, Lindsey LoHan, Gary Busey, Lauryn Hill and NOW Kanye West?!

The newest trend catching on in Tinsleytown is unadulterated, cockeye-ded, old school, CRAZY. It’s a great accessory when you’re spiraling downward into the abyss of nothingness and has-been-ness. Now understand, I don’t mean slightly cooky or peculiar behaviour either, I mean Joan Collins “Mommy Dearest”, trigger finger Phil Spector, Ike Turner cracked out UFC shennaniganed, Marlon Brando crazy. I mean soup sandwhich crazy. As you all know, I’m not really into talking about people……*crickets*…….but I think that some interventions and shock therapy sessions are in order - OR - maybe something more midevil like bleeding with leeches……….can we do that anymore?

Amy Winehouse looks like she’s two puffs away from dying in her own sick, Kanye’s rockin’ that homeless/crazed sorority girl killer/serial rapist look that’s so HOT right now, Lindseys sadomasochistic fall is being chronicled by the ever affectionate tabloids, Lauryn Hill is 3 wings and a case of salmonella short of a family bucket from KFC and Gary Busey………well…….let’s just say that no one can convince me that he’s not burying bodies in his backyard or eating the flesh of the dead, now that’s certifiable!

Fashion Indie’s Top 25 Best Dressed Indies

Vanity Fair released their list. Here is ours!

Top 25 best dressed:

Tavi, the 12- year-old blogger, always takes a dose of fashion daily. Starting at young age, it’s clear fashion is in her roots. Embracing her style, the blogger takes a picture daily for all to see her stardom.

Walking off the Gossip Girl set Blake Lively never steps out of her fashion forward character. The actress is always looking trendy and perfectly put together.

Camilla Belle never fails to strut her success with the perfect outfit. Camilla always accessorizes perfectly for her unique outfits.

Taking after her mother, Lourdes Leon never fails to make a statement. It’s clear Lourdes is just one step away from becoming the daring icon, who’s footsteps she follows.

Zoe Kravitz never fails to impress us with her fashion choices. She’s a gal who certainly knows how to accessorize while choosing bright colors to make a statement.

Demi Lovato emerges into fame the right way with fashion at the forefront. Demi always looks dressed to impress with the latest trends, while bringing her personal style to the table.

Katy Perry’s fame hit us from the blindspot, but we’re not complaining. We like a girl who isn’t afraid of expression; Katy’s always been a girl who speaks, or sings, her mind; her fashion choices reflect this as well.

Joe Jonas takes no backseat to fashion. The trendsetter is always looking on his game in ties, jackets, and our favorite hats!

Our man Kingston Stefani always has his fashion cap on. Kingston doesn’t need Gwen! He’s been a trendsetter since day one.

Suri Cruise, the emergin fashionista herself, is always looking ready to strut in her adorable dresses and skirts. I don’t think this gal has ever repeated an outfit!

Bijou Phillips doesn’t just look style ready in her ad campaigns. The supermodel’s always in character with elegant skirts, coats, and our favorite chic dresses.

Emergin teen actress Selena Gomez hits the scene with the perfectly trendy outfits. We love that this girl knows how to dress her age while still keeping her unique sense of style in mind.

Emma Watson has shed her Harry Potter gettup nowadays and she’s ready to hit the streets as an icon for current fashions. We think she’s doing a good job! Keep the cute dresses coming.

Though Mary-Kate Olsen is often judged for her “out-there” fashion choices, we like that she knows how to make an entrance. She’s not afraid of her style and she certainly knows how to put together an outfit.

Jessica Szohr may look simple, but she always looks trendy. The actress is always camera ready with her fashion foot forward.

Taking after his father, Jaden Smith never fails to impress. When the 10-year-old enters a room all eyes are on him because he’s the trendsetter.

Known for being self-induldged and overly confident teen on Gossip Girl, Ed Westwick has style with a voice. Talks of Ed’s own clothing line are emerging, and if it features his own style, we can’t wait!

15-year-old Taylor Momsen has stepped into the limelight lately, and she’s done so with the right idea. Known as “Jennie” on Gossip Girl, Taylor’s always looking fabulous in the perfect variety of dresses that never ends.

Starring in Weeds, Hunter Parrish doesn’t ever forget where the cameras are. Hunter’s always looking great in suits, jackets, and colors that work wonders.

Coming close to the release of her new movie, Alexis Bledel is looking better than ever! The actress has been seen in a vartiety of elegant dresses looking red-carpet ready constantly.

Being Leo Dicaprio’s girlfriend certainly has its perks. Now, not only does the supermodel have the camera on her during shoots, she has the camera on her nearly all the time. Bar Rafaeli keeps her style alive as she pursues a unique spin on popular trends that always turns out on a positive note.

Becki Newton certainly knows how to accessorize. The actress loves her dresses and numerous styles of shoes, which she brings to the red carpet in confidence.

Keira Knightley knows what it’s like to be famous on two fronts. Keira’s not only known for her acting talents, but she’s a fashionista in her own right. Keira loves her elaborate dresses, and so do we! She’s always in iconic character.

Designer’s daughter on Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester certainly follows up her character’s fashion choices in real life. Leighton always picks the right ensemble.  Whether its pencil skirts with heels or chic dresses with the perfect handbag, Leighton never fails to impress

Top 15 Worst Dressed:

“Do, Do You Got A First Aid Kit,” for her face! This Danity Kane singer is always wearing to much makeup and not enough clothes. Aubrey O’Day used to look good, but she has really been a tranny mess of late.

Amy Winehouse used to be such a cute innocent girl from England. She used to dress well, and fairly conservative too. Now she is a cracked out drug and alcohol abuser who spends more time “powdering her nose” than getting dressed (if she event puts clothes on).

She started out as a “Heroine Chic” hipster forerunner. Now Cory Kennedy is just a heroine user who just blends in with all the Williamsburg hipsters. She has become surprisingly unoriginal, and could seriously use a shower.

I can’t stand the fact that Rihanna is tricking the impressionable minds of the American youth that leather leggings are fashionable. We give her props for trying to support smaller indie designers, but when you look like that you’re almost giving them a bad rep. Let us not forget that week span where she was photographed wearing the same outfit everyday.

What did we really expect from the offspring of a professional wrestler and 2008’s cougar of the year. I think it is safe to say Brooke Hogan doesn’t know best.

Kim Kardashian has really lived up to her sex tape making reputation by continuing her slutty appearance off camera. You know your dad always says how you may give the wrong impression to guys with the way you dress? Well this is what he was talking about.

There is someting ironic about dressing like a tough rocker and then proceeding to threaten transexuals like Trace Cyrus does. If you were ever confused on what an “emo” kid looks like, well here is your answer. I personally have never had problems with tattoos, but facial piercings are a totally different story.

I thought we were over the guy liner and flat ironing our hair phase, but Pete Wentz just won’t let it go. Not that I don’t occasionally enjoy wearing a comfortable hooded sweatshirt. But when thats all you wear and you always have the hood up, it gets old fast. Lucky for him his wife isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, or she might force him to change his look for once.

Is it bad that “Little Miss Sunshine” makes me want to puke every time I see her? Yes, she may be twelve but regardless Abigail Breslin dresses like crap. We live in a decade where twelve year old girls are supposed to look eighteen, and well it’s no fun when you actually look twelve. Can someone say stylist?

When you are following in the footsteps of Cory Kennedy (who is already on this list), what did you expect? You are a wannbe hipster who spends your C-list celebrity paycheck on coke and alcohol. Oh and the OC wasn’t even that good! Guess this is what happens when you have to go back to shopping at Urban Outfitters because your career is over.

This Canadian punk wannabe, Avril Lavigne, should be deported immediately. The pink, black and white color scheme was done years ago, right along with pink streaks in your hair. You tour is doing terrible and so is your stylist.

Sam looks decent for a guy, but still not even that good. We are over the whole fedora and high top sneakers everyday. I would pay to see her in a dress, but I guess one of them had to be the man of the relationship, and it seems like Lindsay wouldn’t give in.

Since her boy toy Spencer came out and said how he gets paid to go places and gets all this free stuff, we can’t help but think that the disgusting clothes Heidi wears were free. Heidi is exactly what fashion shouldn’t be. Her style is terrible and as fake as her chest…and nose…and hair color…and reality show!

Well Tila Tequila does dress right for the job of being the biggest MySpace whore of all time. She is the only one with bad enough style that both guys and girls don’t want to date her.

This self proclaimed “trendsetter” couldn’t be any further from that in my eyes. When you show up to red carpet events in graduation gowns and turbans claiming to be fashionable you know you have a problem. You know you aren’t looking so good when every other poorly dressed person on this list is complimenting you, and every one on the best dressed list is laughing at you from a distance. I will say his best accessory is his little “mushroom cut” rocking friend Anna Wintour, but only because it dumbs down his awfulness. Fashion should be different and outlandish at the time, but practical at the same time. Andre doesn’t have that.

They Tried to Make Her Go to Madame Tussauds. She Said No,No,No.

Amy Winehouse’s Madame Tussauds wax statue with Winehouse’s parents.  

Amy was not present at the unveiling ceremony… She was busy. 

As much as I love Amy Winehouse’s music, her behavior is clearly out of control. Madame Tussauds London wax museum honored the absent Winehouse, by erecting an Amy Winehouse wax figure. Her sweet parents were in attendance. Her wax portrayal is a little different than her real appearance. For instance, Winehouse is not disheveled,scarred, snorting or smoking anything. Miraculous! Tussauds did follow through with the soul singer’s myriad of tattoos. It’s sad. Tussauds probably did this to honor Winehouse before her inevitable death. 

Don’t I Know You From Somewhere?

The new Guess? ads are out, and causing a case of Deja Vu. The ubiquitous blond Guess girl has gone “Back to Black”, by channeling their inner Amy Winehouse. The hair and eyes definitely resemble Ms. Winehouse. While, the look is epitomizes the soul singer, this could never be the infamous Amy Winehouse because the model is healthy, she is not calling for her Blake Blake or her three trusty backup singers.  

Thanks to Fashionista for the pics! 

2008 Glastonbury Festival Fashion Review

The 2008 Glastonbury Festival is over and done, but the stream of fashion photos from the event continue to stream in. We’ve got some of our favorite celebrity picts from the hits and misses of the London music festival.

Kelly Osbourne, Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse

Kelly looks like she’s trying to hide some of her left over fat flaps (come on, you know she got a case of the gastric) under this ill fitting peasant dress. The color sucks and the boots are vicious.  Kate Moss verified her status as fading fashion trendsetter with a look that rocked three years ago when Sienna Miller did it. Also, more boots.  Amy Winehouse looks ridiculous in the dress above, the push-up padding ain’t working and no one really wants to here Rehab for the millionth time. Amy, come out with a new album or die already, you’re really starting to annoy me.

Portia Freeman and Alexa Chung

Pete Doherty’s coke/fuck buddy looks like a poor mans Courtney Love, while Alexa Chung looks like she’s dating her younger brother. More BOOTS!!! You know, I get it. It’s muddy so you figure you need to throw on a pair of black foot rapers, but seriously could one of you been original and worn a different color or something.  I kind of love the high waisted shorts though, what do you think indies, trendspark worthy?

Duffy gives her best O-face and rocks out with more high-waisted shorts. (Totally gonna be a trendspark).

Kelly Osborn, Lily Allen, Pixie Geldof

I really want yellow rain coats to be cool. Can some of you out there get on this?  Or maybe a designer can work on creating it? Lily Allen is starting to look like a caricature of herself, no?  And Pixie has one of the coolest cardigans I’ve seen in a long time.  Oh yeah, AND MORE FUCKING BOOTS….

Daisy Lowe, Pixie Geldof, Kelly Osbourne

Is Daisy Lowe the British Corey Kennedy?  Also Pixie is my favorite person and Kelly looks like one of Michael Jackson’s kids.

When Will Amy Winehouse Die?

Before:

After:

By now we all know that Amy Winehouse is a raging drug and alcohol addict, and with her death closing in fast we figured there was nothing better to do than predict when it is going to be. Daniel Saynt is being quite the ironic optimist and giving her until the new year. He can’t decide whether is will be New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day. Daniel gets more analytical than an ESPN reporter saying, “It all depends on when she starts smoking crack. Since it is a holiday I assume she’ll start using around 8pm so I’ll give her until 11:50pm, but they might try to revive her carrying her depressing life into the next morning.” I say there is no hope for her. In her seemingly desperate attempt to be the new school Janis Joplin, I give Amy until Halloween only because the thought of smoking crack in scary costumes and eating candy sounds enticing to me, and I don’t even smoke crack. I will also add that if she does go down on Halloween, she’ll most likely be in costume which will make is so much more exciting. We want to hear what you think indies, so get your predictions posted ASAP!

Paper Mag’s 25 Most Stylish Songbirds

The HOT MESSES

The OLD SCHOOLS

The OUTSIDE THE BOX

PaperMag has officially named it’s 25 most stylish songbirds.

“From Stevie Nicks’ billowy dresses, to Grace Jones’s power-suits, to Madonna’s Gaultier bra, to Björk’s swan get-up, female musicians have a long history of making fashion statements. These days, the current crop of songstresses, both up-and-coming and fairly established, are carrying on the tradition. To honor these women and their impeccable senses of style, we decided to compile a list who we think are the 25 most fiercely fashionable femmes doing their thing in the music biz today. As a way to keep things organized, we divided up the gals into those that rock an ethereal, very L.A. flower child look, those who go for the chic high-fashion thing, those who dress like an early-’90s club kid, those who think outside of the fashion box and those who we lovingly like to refer to as hot messes.

Here are a few:

Zooey Deschanel

MIA

Beth Ditto

Aubrey O’Day of Danity Kane

And dare I write it: Amy Winehouse. Now, how this train wreck made this list is just unclear to me!
