Are You Vane?

I don't usually buy things because I'm way to poor and way to fabulous for that shit however, the next thing to go on my "To Buy" list is this ring by Vane.

I love knuckle dusters. They are such an aggressive adornment and yet there is something about them that I find attractive. Maybe it's the idea that they are worn over more than one finger. Kinda like when I wear a ring on every finger.

The new muse of my life!

Let's keep this nice and simple.

His name is Verbal.
He is a rapper.
He is my new lover!

He is in a group called The Teriyaki Boys and I love him.

Can any one say;
Kanye Who?

I may suffer eternal damnation but it needs to be said.

So it's offical; I am offically over Kanye West.

Blasphemy?

Yes!

I will probably burn in the fiery pits of hell but I don't care. I was one of his biggest fans this side of the Northern Hemisphere however his recent behaviour has left my soul so very vexed.

Firstly, we have those down right nasty Louis Vuitton trainers he supposedly designed.


I need someone to please tell me what the hell he was playing at. Why would anyone want a pair of these over the Stephen Sprouse Hi-Tops? There's nothing special about this red shoe at all. Louis Vuitton could have made it without the help of Kanye so why on earth are people flipping out like it's the best thing since the Chanel Pump Fury?


The other problem I have with Mr West is his current album.



Why oh Why Kanye? Why would you do this to me? I don't want to hear about how some bitch was cruel to you and how your heart is broken. I don't want to hear about that at all. What happened to the arrogant bastard that was? You were like my inner narcissist but now you're just sad. Your pathetic whining is enough for me to drive a rusty nail into my ear and enjoy the sounds of my own dripping blood.


I would like to mention those awfull glasses. I know you know the ones I'm talking about.


Disgusting! The were an abomination! I'm glad the trand/madness has passed but the fact that they even exhisted is enough to cause me offence.


And finaly I would like to discuss his recent sartiorial transmogrification.



The reason I loved him is because he didn't need to wear a suit to look dapper. He was fly without a notch lapel. He cold look smart without a spread collared dress shirt. What the hell is his problem? Why is his style so forced and contrived now? It's insulting.

I truely am saddened by the fact that I have had to say these things but I really am upset that my idol has literally gone off the rails. The man is actually insane and I don't know if there is anything we can do to save him. I think we should just pray. We need some sort of divine intervention from the heavens above to restore to us the Kanye that once was.




I'm just waiting for the return of the leagend. I'm waiting for the King to reclaim his throne!

R.I.P my love for Mr West.

Most Genuine Apologies

I would like to apologize to you all as it has been a while since I posted anything of substance. I've just been so busy/tired. Working in fashion is not the easiest of things and it really does have a way of taking the wind from beneath your wings.

Anyway, last night I had the privilege of attending the London College of Fashion MA graduate show. It was pretty amazing. I don't have any pictures because for some reason I was sent to standing and didn't really have the greatest view but what I will say is look out for the following names in the future:

Jie Pi
Dimitri Stavrou
Manjit Deu

These are the people that I have my eyes set on and I know they will be making some serious waves in the foreseeable future. Jie's collection was mostly black with coloured sequins, Dimitri's collection was sponsored by Dr Martins (the boot makers) and featured 24 carat gold plated carbon fiber and Manjit's collection is what won him collection of the year. In all honesty I would have had a flaming fit if Manjit didn't win collection of the year. I don't even know the guy and I was so proud of him. It truely was amazing.

Remeber; you heard those names here first!

P.S
When I was back stage I fell in love about 8 or 9 times. The models were so so hot. I felt like a pervert but I didn't care.

A quote I found today...

Someday I want to be rich. Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be.

Adidas and Jeremy Scott

Rumour has it that these will never be sold so this is as close to a pair as we (more so you than me) will ever get.

I've mentioned the
Adidas and Jeremy Scott collaboration before however these trainers have not been reported on due to the fact that there are no plans for their release.

I don't really have much to say apart from the fact that they are amazing.

Thanks to Mr Riddler for the heads up.

A quote I found today...

He who will not reason is a bigot;
he who cannot is a fool;
he who dares not is a slave.

This isn't a music blog but...

I just had to post this. In case you don't know the Teriyaki Boys are one of my favourite groups ever. Now, one of the members of this group is called Verbal. He is my complete and utter Idol. Far above Kanye west. like you wouldn't believe.

Anyway, here is their new song featuring Pharrell and Chris Brown.





It's such a runway song. To all my fashion week aficionados you'll know what I mean. It's the kind of song that says "I don't care how many inches are on those heels bitch you'd pound that runway."

P.S
In case you don't know Verbal is the one wearing the most jewellery at the beginning.

When he hits the chorus...

His name is Austin Drage.
He can sing so so well.
I need this guy to make an album.
(The last note was a bit off)
There are few people I would swap voices with he makes it to the top of that list.



WOW!!!

Now That's What I Call Advertising...

Here is a selection of some of my favorite fashion based television adverts.


Pacco Rabanne-1 Million
Here we see a real Glamorous man in action.




Dior-J'adore
Charlize Theron is a goddess. Stripping down with her sexy self. Yes please!!!




Chanel No.5-The Film
This was aired on U.K television during the final episode of Friends. It cost a lot of money to make. It cost a lot of money to air and I say it was worth every penny.




Dolce & Gabbana-The One for Men
I'm not really a fan of Matthew McConaughey and I don't really understand why they used him in this advert however, to quote Beyoncé "Oh it's the lights, action, Hollywood".




Oh the Glamorous life.

I want to be a Louis Vuitton Don!

A lot of blogs have been talking about Louis Vuitton's Stephen Sprouse collection and how great it is.

However, what a lot of these blogs have failed to mention is that the stuff glows in the dark. It is part of my job to know these things so that I can pass it on to you...




Check the video too!

I love Reebok...

Ever since they were bought by Adidas and pushed their products more in the direction of a lifestyle brand I seem to have found a renewed love for Reebok.

Here is another reason why...




The Ex O Fit strap will be released in February 09. A month before my birthday. I know you know for a fact that I wont even need to ask Reebok for a pair before they give them to me.

P.S
If I don't get a pair I'll know exactly who's office to burn down!

Just in time for Christmas

We all know that I'm all about the diamond rings and expensive things but sometimes we have to be a little wiser with our finances. Most of our wallets do not bulge as they used to due to the current mess that is the economy but that doesn't mean we can't still look good.

Take £8.50 of your hard earned cash to SuperSweet and in return they will give you one of these.


What more can I say? If you're not buying Christmas presents for other people then go ahead and buy one for yourself. You know you want to.

P.S
In case you didn't know, It's Space Invaders.

The most glamorous Backpack known to man.

This is the Billionaire Boys Club Diamond and Dollar backpack!
It is Amazing!
I want one!
You want one!
We want one!
But
It isn't out until February.

I know what I want for my birthday in march?

£745
Get it!

You may already know this...

Last friday saw the launch of the new Nike Blazer (which is a shoe not a jacket) by Carri Mundane of Cassette Playa. I was lucky enough to attend the launch party. Here are some images.

I can't say that I'm the biggest Cassette Playa fan but I do believe that in years to come the things that she has done will become extremely collectable. Even more so than they are now. I must admit, I do like the trainers. They are quite special. Unfortunately they sold out before they even launched which just goes to prove the Phenomenon that is Cassette Playa.
