All I Want For Hanukah Is: THE Diesel Car

Not to be mistaken for a diesel car, I’m talking about THE Diesel car. That’s right, Diesel has launched a car, although it doesn’t run on diesel fuel, nor is it fuel officiant, nor is it really cool looking.

“Launched at a star-studded party at Milan Fashion Week, the car, the new Fiat 500, has been designed in a partnership between the two iconic Italian brands as an ‘urban survival vehicle’. The hubcaps feature the brand’s mohican logo, the bumpers sport rivet detailing and the seats and steering wheel have been stitched with yellow thread to mirror the jeans that Diesel is so famous for,” as seen in ElleUK.

The limited edition car - only 10,000 are set to be produced - will go on sale on November 9th. Add it to your Hanukah wish list now…

I Kissed An Italian Designer’s Ass And I Liked It!

Katy Perry must be kissing more than girls lately seeing as though she landed herself in the spotlight of Milan Fashion Week with Dolce & Gabbana. Apparently she is too good for Mercedes Fashion Week and Fashion Indie Week Brooklyn seeing as though she won’t be participating. She totally sold out on Fashion Indie and her friends at New York Couture by not performing at, what may be the largest event during Fashion Week, the New York Couture fashion show at Mansion! Now since we heard she flaked out on us, we have decided to replace her with a ton of other performers that you won’t want to miss so be sure to come. Until then can we please try to de-throne Katy from the number one song on the charts, lets be honest we’re all over that song. 

TrendSpark: Unexpected Models

This season, we’ve seen some of the most surprising male models hit the runways. First, Vivienne Westwood sends out beef cake bodyguards, then DSquared showcased an almost all ethnic cast, now Yohji Yamamoto sent out several gray-haired models who were over 60, one of whom happened to be artist-turned-filmmaker Steve McQueen, who just won a prize at the Cannes Film Festival. “The situation is, I’m not a skinny white boy, I’m the complete opposite,” McQueen told the AP. “I heard the audience gasp a bit when I came in.”

Is this the designers way of saying that clothes can be worn by anyone, whether hot male model or old guy? I guess it works, but that really defeats the purpose of having hotties on the catwalk!

Trends of Fashion Week

Calvin Klein: one word neon. Bright, bold, and requiring sunglasses

Ermenegildo Zegna: classic tailoring in classic neutral summer shades – oh and two pink suits.

Belstaff: Lots of shiny patent macs and plenty of colour to end Milan men’s fashion week.

Trends off the catwalk

THE GOOD

Bow ties – and not a dinner jacket in sight. A little ridiculous but harmless. This is men’s fashion week, let them have their fun.

THE BAD

Orange espadrilles – keep them to the beach love.

THE UGLY

Is a Versace Lamborghini too much? Possibly, but it might just have been the best looking fashion accessory of the week.

People

Armani pulled the big shots in again – this time for his mainline collection, Giorgio Armani. Clive Owen and Adrien Brody graced the front row. Full marks for the biggest A list attendees.
