RUNWAY: Just Cavalli Spring 2010

I’m all for grunge, but Roberto Cavalli’s take on the whole trend is a bit too gaudy for my liking. Style.com hit it right on the head, comparing the Just Cavalli’s Spring 2010 collection Courtney Love, circa the 1990s. While there were some cute vintage-esqe pieces, I’m getting a little bored of the poorly “destroyed,” seemingly DIY sweaters and thrashed denim.

LAST NIGHT Courtney Love Showed Her Love of Wang

Courtney Love gave an exclusive performance to a bunch of Alexander Wang groupies at Gas Station (the gas station under the highline at 14th). It was amazing.

TRENDSPARK: Smeared Makeup
Walking home in the pouring rain, sans an umbrella, resulted in quite a few things: sopping stilettos, disgustingly uncomfortable leather and smeared makeup. Though I spent quite some time ironing, blow drying and wiping my rained upon items, I didn’t dare touch my smeared makeup before going out for the night. Though the editorial images posted are definitely exaggerated, I really dig the look of smeared eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow and lipstick. I recommend choosing one area of the face to smear to avoid looking like Courtney Love, your safest bet being the eyes (smear subtly enough and it will look like a slightly coked out smokey eye!) If your looking for a more dramatic smeared look, spray/splash water on regular (not waterproof) eye-makeup and allow to drip and dry down your face. Make sure you re-line and apply mascara to your eyes for a bolder look. The best part about this trend? Humidity only makes it better!

WTF!?! Courtney Love

And we thought Amy Winehouse was bad…Courtney Love looks like she’s been putting a little less food, and a bit more of something else in her body. She’d be well hidden if it weren’t for that awful cutoff tshirt and slew of tangled necklaces.

Nylon Editor Marvin Scott Jarett Profiled in Status Magazine

While it’s pretty awesome that DJ Atrak is playing cover star on the latest issue of Status Magazine, what intrigues me more is the “Indie-prenurial” coverage of Nylon editor Marvin Scott Jarett. While I’m not the biggest fan of the editor, I’m curious to see if he has any answers for why he featured Lindsay “Unhirable” Lohan on the cover of their 10 year anniversary issue.
Seriously dude. She’s about as intersting as chronic foot pain caused by gout. I would have been more inclined to pick that shit up if Courtney Love (aka Older Lindsay) was on the cover. At least she’s far to drugged up to monitor her comments and the interview would have been interesting. I tried reading that issue during a bowel movement and for the first time ever I felt the need to cut and run.
Anyways, if anyone can send me a copy of this magazine, I’m hoping the “indie” editor can redeem himself.

The Bashed: Courtney “The Shit Show” Love

Step number one in raising a mature and sophisticated daughter is to disallow her from idolizing the ex-rock musician Courtney Love. If you couldn’t already tell by looking at the images above, Courtney Love basically defines “bad role model.” Not only will she teach your precious little Susie that it’s okay to take her top off on national television, dye her hair disgusting vomit-esque colors, appear drunk and unstable at the VMAs and have sexual relations with herpes infected men, she will also make Susie think anorexia is the cool thing to do with her upcoming shot in Elle UK January 2009. Oh, and to put the cherry on top of her little drugged up life, it seems as if Courtney Love prides herself on “[setting] the stage for Britney Spears.” Is that really what you want people to think…that you inspired Britney Spears to shave her head, load on the weight and completely fail as a responsible mother? As Love says in the next issue of Elle UK:
“I had a long, hard fall. I set the stage for Britney to crash and burn. I went through it all first.”
That’s basically like saying Love made “the shit show” look cool. Negative. Love made the shit show even shittier.
Thanks Popcrunch!

Peaches Geldof Hates Victoria Beckham, Wants to Tittie Touch Courtney Love’s Style
“Most people who know me know I don’t follow fashion. I mean, I just dyed the tips of my hair black for God’s sake. I hate stars who look totally overstyled, like Victoria Beckham; give me Courtney Love, with her babydoll nighties and ripped fishnet tights, any day. For me, fashion is about pushing boundaries. Vivienne Westwood once told me that people who aren’t creative or have no love for art don’t dress up, I asked her why people should and she replied simply, ‘Because it’s fun.’ Sage advice.”

TrendSpark: Grunge Then and Now
I’ve noticed recently that lots of people are looking back to 1994 for style inspiration. Some may say that girls like Cory Kennedy and MK Olsen look homeless but the combat boots, the plaid, and the floral dresses all scream GRUNGE! The difference between grunge style of today is it’s high fashion. Look at Alexander Wang’s collection (see below), torn tights with a $1,000 dress-now that’s Nu-Grunge Chic! So put on your acoustic Nirvania CD and let’s go on a tour of Grunge then and now.

Kurt Cobain’s Ashes Stolen
So weird one of the day. Kurt Cobain’s ashes were stolen (also see snorted in a line of memorial coke) from Courtney Love’s home. The ashes were in some teddy bear Love had at her house. Great job on losing a rock legend, Love, now if only we can lose you.

Francis Bean Cobain for Chanel
Karl Lagerfeld knows how to spot fresh talent. The designer has been talking about signing on Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain’s daughter, Francis Bean Cobain, for an upcoming Chanel campaign.
The Daily Mail broke the story stating that the 15-year-old Frances has already appeared in a number of upmarket American magazines.
“She’s only young, but there’s a lot of interest in Frances,” says a friend. “She is incredibly pretty and has the most perfect porcelain skin.
Courtney, in a rare dose of motherly care, “is concerned about Frances pursuing a catwalk career at such a young age, so she has been involved in all the talks so far.” Which basically means she wants to make sure she gets some air time through this whole process.
I wonder if this means British-skeleton Keira Knightly is losing her Coco Mademoiselle spot?

Stuff Fashion People Like #8 Marc Jacobs
When preparing to become a fashion person, a normal person will spend about 70% of their education obsessing about one designer, Marc Jacobs. A name synonymous with Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Ghandi, and Jesus, Marc Jabobs is worshiped by fashion people for his collections heralding of the new design frontier and for being the only American accepted by the French (Jacobs runs design at Parisian fashion house, Louis Vuitton, which makes handbags and other over-priced unnecessities.) His shows are frequented by a who’s who of celebrities and hanger-ons (yes, we’re talking about you Courtney Love), who will wait for hours upon hours for show to begin.
If you ever plan to become a fashion person, you must know Marc Jacobs. Granted most of his work is a bit overrated and, true, if you compared him to other big designers, his overall influence to the world of fashion is neligable (unless you consider making “grunge” expensive an accomplishment), but never, ever, under any circumstances say this to a fashion person. Such remarks are considered heresy and could result in a public flogging or worse, expulsion to the standing room section of a New York fashion show.
The best way to reference Jacobs is as gospel. Statements like “Marc F:07 reminded us of the importance of accessories. Praise Marc.” or “Marc S:05 gave new meaning to the mini. Praise Marc.” are acceptable ways to reference the designer while still maintaining your respect for his divinity.
Fashion people love to feel some connection to the designer, at times feeling like their prayers have been answered when a certain piece comes down his runway. You will often see fashion people jumping around and speaking in tongues (preferably French) during his shows, as if the spirit of Jacobs has magically entered them. Do not be afraid when this happens, just join them and hopefully the spirit will enter you as well.
It is always smart to assume a fashion person is wearing Marc Jacobs. When you approach one ask them if the skirt/jeans/strap-on they have on is from the designer. They will most likely say yes, even if the piece is actually from H&M or a Forever 21 knock-off.
Other things to keep in mind is Jacobs persistently over-the-top parties. Getting invited to such an event is cause for celebration, as you will most likely see the designer in some ridiculous get-up, a humble reminder to his followers that he is in fact human and has a wonderful sense-of-humor. Previous costumes have included dressing like a pigeon, a camel toe, and more recently a twink.
