Fashion Quotable: Tim Gunn

Recently, NY Mag asked Project Runway’s Tim Gunn of his opinion on the prospective First Lady’s of the United States. Gunn boldly replied that he clearly prefered the fashionable Michelle Obama. Gunn is not merely discussing the two women’s fashion sense. He insightfully intertwines fashion choice with character    

“Michelle really epitomizes American style, and she’s not afraid to show her shape, she’s not afraid to show her sexiness without being the least bit inappropriate,” Tim said. “She’s just an alluring woman. And Cindy with her suits and she’s all buttoned up, she’s just soooo — she just looks like she’s duct-taped! There is just something about her, and in a way it’s a metaphor about who she is!”

Thanks to NY Mag for the info!

Mag Hag: French Vogue Sept

Raquel Zimmerman is the star of the Sept issue of Vogue French. Shot by fame photographer Ryan McGinely and obtained by Gold Digger, this spread leaves us with much to question.

First, why is she wearing crocs in a Vogue issue? NY Mag also pointed this out, and we agree…Where was Carine Roitfeld when this was shot? Cuz even Lady Wintour wouldn’t allow this..

Secondly, why does she look like Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil? With cave like backgrounds and zombie like expressions.

Lastly, Raquel is one of the most beautiful and stunning models on the runway, so why did the photographer make her look so coked out? She clearly is not the best for this type of spread. I understand that she is a model and must have some diversity, but she looks like Cory Kennedy, which is never a good thing.

The Writing is on the Wohl

 Socialite Arden Wohl was already considerably odd. The New York based socialite is infamously tied with her public fondness for pot. She is recognizable by her signature hippie headbands. She never removes them! On Saturday, she confirmed her eccentric persona by writing “Ralphy Lip Shits”, at the Ralph Lauren’s Hampton store, with red lipstick. Wohl was consequently arrested, for graffiti and defacing property, in East Hampton N.Y. Wohl hates being categorized as a socialite, but her entitled actions would suggest otherwise. As if the hippie socialite’s antics were not enough, she felt the urge to steal little american flags, from the store. How patriotic! Wohl can now add petit larceny, to her wild child resume. 

an homage to an homage

Here at Fashion Indie we can’t get over these genius photos of Village Voice mascot Michael Musto making fun of the Lindsay Lohan’s homage to Marilyn Monroe.

For someone who just wants to be taken seriously for their acting, she’s doing everything in her power to seem like a narcissistic-vapid-jackass. And as we know that’s what Rumer Willis is for.

Want people to take you seriously? Stop doing things like this, that make it so easy for people lampoon you. Less time on E! News and more time on Charlie Rose!
