Mac and Lester are The Hardy Gays – FashionIndie’s Queen Detectives; stumbling about solving crimes of fashion with nothing but our wits and impeccably-styled outfits. During New York Fashion Week, a feeling of perplexity and disappointment at the Mercedez-Benz Tents turned out to be a mystery that needed our particular attention.

The only way to get fashion industry people to eat their food… or food in general in most cases is of course fancy designer wrappings to disguise all the fatty oils we’ll regret eating after.

McDonald’s is now launching NYC themed cupcakes throughout Germany, Vanilla will be Soho, and Cappuccino is apparently the essence of the East Village.

The New York Times’ Eric Wilson in his review of Emanuel Ungaro:“But Ms. Lohan’s arrival at a 45-year-old Paris house known for $1,500 dresses and a tradition of couture craftsmanship is entirely different, something akin to a McDonald’s fry cook taking the reins of a three-star Michelin restaurant.”

“Well, I created Heatherette. It’s not like working at McDonald’s. I decided I didn’t want to do it anymore, because the backers we had were basically assholes. I love what I do, I’m an artist. It’s like being in a band. If the lead singer gets fucked over, you move on. I’m not mad at Traver, it’s just that the people who backed us who really weren’t nice people. They took advantage of us, in every respect.”

Giles released this thing into the fashion world this past weekend. It appears to be a black Grimace. For those unfamiliar with the McDonald’s mythology, Grimace was a purple four armed creature known for stealing Happy Meals from starving children and then proceeding to play with their cheap third-world made toys until the parts broke off. He and the Hamburgler then used to make sweet dirty love while juiced up on chunks of 6-month old dead cow and artificially flavored french fries. Later Grimace’s two extra hands (the evil ones) were removed and he began to enjoy a relationship with ringleader Ronald. Of course, one of his hands were the source of his intellegence and we quickly became a rather idiotic character who would often be the starting point of drama in Ronald McDonald Land. Anyway, yeah, this thing looks like a black Grimace, which means it looks really, really stupid. It also kind of looks like a penis if you squint a little bit. Either way, it’s pretty dumb.

With Fashion Week already suffering so many losses, where do they turn?
McDonald’s, of course — it’s pretty much the only company not losing money, and they’re joining Mercedez Benz and Mattel as the major sponsors.
The icon’s McCafé drinks will be the “official coffee” of Fashion Week.
I have not had the pleasure of sampling McDonald’s coffee products, but won’t it seem like such a joke, to see all the celebs and models clutching McD’s instead of Starbucks? And I wonder if any designer has prepared a Ronald-inspired collection…
