GQ ANOINTS JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE MOST STYLISH MAN
GQ, how easy you forget. You named Justin Timberlake the most sytlish man in America. How could you forget his days when he was in N-SYNC and when he hit many a red carpet with his girl, Britney. How about his incredible array of hairstyles? Yes, I know people can change their style or in some cases "buy" their style, but of all the guys in America, Justin Timberlake?

COSTUME INSTITUTE at THE MET:MODEL AS MUSE
With so many supermodels of the past making comebacks, it makes perfect sense that this year's Costume at the Met will focus on the exhibition of The Model as Muse:Embodying Fashion. Anna Wintour along with the Institute's Harold Koda, the Met's Thomas P. Campbell and co-chair Marc Jacobs came together to discuss the details. Marc said Yves Saint Laurent said it best, "A good model can advance fashion ten years." For Marc Jacobs that model was Kate Moss. She was the face that catapulted his 1992 grunge collection at Perry Ellis. This is another sign of the return of the supermodels. Maybe the supermodels will be the superheroes that can save the fashion world from this insane economy.
PURPLE-NATASA VOJNOVIC-TERRY RICHARDSON
Purple is well-known for their incredible editorials et al. Check out the newest edition with Diane Von Furstenberg on its cover. On their site, they been posting interesting videos of their photo shoots. One of our favorite models, who has been making a comeback of sorts this season, Natasa Vojnovic, has been in Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang's shows, gives all of herself in this Purple vid. With Terry Richardson doing the photography and founder/editor of Purple Olivier Zahm shooting the video, it provokes an "Eyes of Laura Mars," feeling. It's a 70's flashback with the Warhol like DVF images on the wall , the music, the clothing, the wild rug, and of course Natasa's wild performance.TIGA - SHOES-NEW TRACK
Here's Tiga's new single, "Shoes." The topic of conversation is that Madonna on the track with him? What do you think? We think no!

SINK OR SWIM...CONFORMITY vs. INDIVIDUALISM MARC JACOBS
This year's, Fall '09, New York Fashion Week is interesting on a variety of levels. As the economy is tanking, stores are closing, and retail is in a tail spin, when most designers are being interviewed, they say this is a challenging time and a creative time for them. I say its sink or swim time. It's about designing pieces that make people want to buy-that ushers in a wave of "I have to own that jacket, dress, or trouser." So, do designers play it safe and create a collection that's easy to sell and what people expect or go in the other direction. Will it be about the individual or will it be about collective conformity? The consumer will answer that question. Yes, the majority of people are being more conscious of where their money is being spent and they will likely want to make it worth their while. So, will it be spent on designers like Marc Jacobs whose show was all about the individual like DVF, Ohne and Titel, and Alexander Wang or will it go towards safe, collective conformity like Band of Outsiders, Rag and Bone, Travata, and BCBG. Time will tell, but I say the individual will always prevail.

THE CITY-BEST DO'S and DON'TS
Yes, "The City" is the spin-off of that bad LA faux-reality show,"The Hills." The fact that it takes place in NYC already one ups its predecessor as well as the discovery of Olivia Palermo. How much of a socialite is she really, hmmm...we don't know but we do know two things...she puts the show in over-drive when she appears, even if it's for mere seconds and "The Cut" has the best re-cap of the do's and don'ts of life in the big city. Say what you may about Ms. Palermo, she is fuel injection to an otherwise uneventful show. Plan on seeing more of her in season two.
MTV BRINGING BACK HOUSE OF STYLE
The hit fashion show on MTV in the'90's, House of Style, which helped cement Cindy Crawford as the every girl, is resurrecting the show. Just like "90210" and now, ugh, "Melrose Place," the '90's shows are making a comeback. This new version of HOS will have Sport's Illustrated cover girl, Bar Rafaeli as the host and now there is word that Chanel Iman will be helping out as well. As we predicted at the beginning of this blog, supermodels will be making a comeback stealing all the attention from the starlets and oh yeah, the socialites won't be too far behind, Olivia Palermo.
