You Animal!: Giorgio Armani Vs. PETA

It’s been a WWF smack-down between Italian designer, Girogio Armani, and animal rights organization, PETA, ever since Armani’s Fall 2008 collection hit the runway. According to the New York Post, Armani “promised” PETA that he would not include animal skins or furs in his collection. Needless to say, Mr. Armani broke that promise…and how! 

Not only did models strut the runway decked out in fur-trimmed coats and skirts, they also flaunted full out floral printed fur coats! And to make matters between Armani and PETA worse, the designer got the kids involved. Yes indeed, Armani even designed fur coats for babies! Forget the pea-pod parkas for the baby…now there is mink in store for the little stink! 

Tomorrow night at PETA’s benefit in Italy, model and actress Pamela Anderson will try her persuasive attempts to deter colleagues from wearing Armani during awards season. Sorry folks, but I don’t think Ms. Anderson can compete with Giorgio Armani’s killer (literally?) Fall 2008 collection. 

Thanks STYLE and NY Mag!

Before They Had Stylists: Wallace & Gromit

Before

After

Never thought that claymates Wallice and Gromit would get a make-over but here they are as the new faces of Department store Harvey Nicols. They have exchanged their mix of tweeds and sweater vests for Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani. And Wallace love interest Lady Tottington will be seen sporting some Christian Louboutin stilettos, according to the U.K.’s Sun.

Their next animated adventure is currently in-production called A Matter of Loaf and Death. Guess we’ll settle for this for now.

Thanks E! Online

Giorgio Armani Wears Speedo

Dear Giorgio Armani,

I don’t wanna hate on the elderly gettin’ their sexy on in their last, FEW, PRECIOUS days before death stops by for that final potluck and I know you’re Italian but aren’t we a little long of tooth to be wearing the Speedo’s? A little slinky of skin to be baring all that flesh? A tad limp of prostate to be presenting the groceries to the public? Aren’t we? I mean I can see your cash & prizes and the balance is exceedingly low……if’n you know what I mean…….

There are already sooo many things in this picture that are killin’ your kool that I won’t dare to bring up the fact that you look crispier than Thanksgiving Turkey with all the fixins, it would just be too rude, so I won’t bring it up. You know how much we care about peoples feelings at Fashion Indie *squint*

Look Up in the Sky, It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s a New Exhibit at the MET (Oh, God I just Revealed My Corn. Apologies indies)

The Superheroes have arrived at the MET.

I’m heading there tomorrow, but I got a special preview of the event from the likes of The New York Times (photos in the Gallery).

Original costumes from Spiderman, X-Men and Iron Man are on display along with original works of fashion art from Alexander McQueen, Moschino, and Giorgio Armani. Two of my favorite things are together for the first time ever. I could ravage Anna Wintour right now. Shit, I think I wet myself.

Be sure to hit up the exhibit pronto. I might get arrested for trying to steal some items tomorrow, but if I can get into the Iron Man suit quick enough I should be able to blast past security and steal Mystique body suit from X-men to enjoy a superhuman rendezvous later in the evening. Seriously, these are the thoughts that run through my head during the day. I know. I need help
