Look Inside the Dream Closet of Celebrities, the Best Dressed & Barbie

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Last night I got to enter the magical world that is Barbie’s Dream Closet. There was an astounding amount of pointed pink pumps and Barbie-worthy models a flight up in their dream houses. We got to play in Barbie’s virtual Dream Closet and dress ourselves by tapping the air to the right and left on the my-size screened Kinect. I took to roving the room in search of the best dressed and the most famous, and asked them what constitues their dream closet.

Muppets Take The Runway!

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Miss Piggy has been hogging the fashion spotlight for quite some time, but now it’s time for all the Muppets to step out in style. Have designers like Tom Ford, Rick Owens, Versace and Michael Kors been secretly inspired by the Muppet clan? We think so, because we found a whole ton of muppet doppelgängers on the runway. They took over Good Morning America this morning, and now they’re taking over FashionIndie. What with all this media, once they’re done saving their theater, maybe they can help save Fashion Week.

I’ve been bitten. These are positively poisonous. I’m absolutely addicted. Blue snakeskin morphed into a biker jacket, transformed into a bootie. WERQ. Doing it from beyond. Damnit, McQueen, the things you do to us.

Lady Gaga is the New Jesus. Amen Fashion.

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

On the runway. Dressed in his best. Amen fashion. Black Jesus Lady Gaga. Her body is a sanctuary. She’s physically crafted to be as fitted as McQueen. She’s as free as her hair, a blonde high heeled feminist enlisting femmes for this. She’s gonna lace up her boots, throw on some leather and cruise down the street that she loves in her fishnet gloves. She’s a Bad Kid. She’s The Queeeen. Most importantly: She was Born This Way.

If none of that sounds familiar, then you’d best get listening to Lady Gaga’s new album. It’s out today! Go buy it, I’ll wait…….. okay good you’re back. Now while you’re waiting for it to download, take a glimpse inside the Born This Way digital booklet of album art. That is one baaaaad Mother Monster.

The Greatest (Non-Royal) Wedding Video Ever… Dirty Bit

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

The thought of a wedding will probably make most of you Indies yak on your Louboutins (or Jeffrey Campbells, no judgement), but we just stumbled across the greatest wedding video ever and felt inclined to share. Though I’ll tell you, I am secretly imagining this as Their Royal Highnesses Prince William and Princess Catherine, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s personal wedding relic. And I’m trying to picture McQueen on the bride, but not enough squinting in the world will do the trick. Be that as it may, enjoy the ceremony, dirty bit.
