INDIE REWIND: The Greatest Supermodels of the 70s

Edited by

What the 60s set into motion, the 70s broke up on a glass table and snorted through several stacks of hundred dollar bills. Supermodels went from being muses of the fashion world to muses of rock stars, actors, athletes and the occasional congressman when the wife was out of town, while trying their hands in front of the camera and behind the microphone. This decade saw the birth of outsized personalities that continue to shake up the world whenever they deign to acknowledge it. Put on some Cheryl Lynn, we’re going to the 70s!

#NYFW Cheat Sheet: Christian Siriano Spring 2012

Edited by

The Christian Siriano girl is quickly becoming a lady — a lady who lunches on the town then paints it red, or in this case — and for spring 2012 in general — coral. The first eight looks were the obvious highlight — the designer’s cleanest and most sophisticated yet. After that, it meandered a bit with a few hits along the way before the finale gowns floated down the runway.

You Can Lead a Horse to Halston, but You Can’t Make Her a Hit: The SJP Story

Edited by

How do you solve a problem like Halston? Once the de rigeur designer of the haute fabulous set — Bianca Jagger, Liza Minnelli, Jackie Kennedy, Babe Paley, Lauren Hutton, Liz Taylor; we’re talking Glamour here — the company faltered in the early 80s with the ousting of Roy Halston. Roy, too high on caviar wishes and cocaine dreams, had sold equity in his company in 1973 and was fired in 1984 only to die of AIDS-related complications in 1990. Numerous attempts to revive the brand faltered over the last two decades with the latest manicured finger of blame being pointed dramatically at Carrie Bradshaw.

Tom Ford’s Youthful Sissy Shenanigans Once Landed Him in the Emergency Room

Edited by

Every little gay boy obsessed with fashion, beauty and glamour inevitably attempts to bring those elements into her everyday life.  Whether she tries on her mother’s heels to catwalk down the hallway when no one’s home; vamp like Bette Davis in All About Eve with a faux cocktail and faux cigarette — soda and licorice are great substitutes — in her limp, little gay hands; or like a 14-year-old Tom Ford, don cucumber slices over her eyes to, as Ford puts it, “camouflage the bags.” Unfortunately, Tom was unaware that his eyes were allergic to said cucumbers and ended up in the emergency room with his eyes swelled shut.

Bookclubbin’: Style Book: Fashionable Inspirations by Elizabeth Walker

Edited by

Great style transcends space and time. From a 19th century Indian colonel in head-to-toe tartan to a 70s supermodel in bright yellow plaid, significant fashion statements will always circle back around. Elizabeth Walker explores this trend phenomenon through historic photographs in her gorgeously-done coffee table staple Style Book: Fashionable Inspirations (Flammarion 2011). If you’re ever wondering how to wear that menswear-inspired suit, vintage fur shawl or those sky-high platforms, let style icons like Diane Keaton, Elton John and Sue Coddington be your guides.

MUSE OF THE WORLD: Condé Nast Continues Its Downward Spiral, ALT Is Modest As Usual and You Too Can Smell Like a Duchess

Edited by

- Condé Nast is going down in flames, mostly because I’m burning it to the ground as we speak. On the heels of Rihanna disgracing the cover of Vogue and Justin Bieber bringing his fever to Vanity Fair, Katy Perry is the latest popstar to cheapen the CN brand, tarting it up on the cover of June’s Vanity Fair as shot by Annie Leibovitz. Meanwhile, Liz Taylor’s Final Days are relegated to a banner. Give me “Diamonds, sharks, gay bars and the most bizarre road trip ever” over an alleged singer any day of the week. [Vanity Fair]
