NYLON for Guys feat. Diddy (I lose the war against celebrity covers)
Posted on 09.20.06 by Editor @ 6:19 pm

Diddy, NYLON for Guys

You guys remember that I got really upset when NYLON featured Avril Lavigne on their cover? Well, I’m still VERY annoyed by that but for some reason Diddy on the cover of this NYLON for Guys doesn’t bother me as much. Maybe it’s because I respect him more (even though I’m not a fan) or because it’s more of a Men’s lifestyle magazine so I can’t really go on my tirade about actual Fashion should be presented by actual models. I’m not quite sure but if that makes me hypocritical, so be it.

I subscribed my boyfriend to NYLON guys a while ago and despite the fact that the cover says “not for girls”, I read it anyway and always really enjoy it. It kind of reminds me of a masculine version of the older days of NYLON that I’ve been longing for. A little smaller, a little more obscure, a bit more intimate. The editorial is great and I especially dug the bit on Freddy Krueger sweaters. So…even though theres a celebrity on the cover and even though it’s not for girls, I really love it and will be looking forward to the next issue.

I just thought that to be fair, if I am willing to diss someone publicly when they do bad, then I should be equally willing to praise them when they do good.

Ironically, my boyfriend couldn’t care less about the magazine.

Fashion Week Backtrack: Day 2, Show 5- Jeanisis by Anand Jon
Posted on 09.11.06 by Editor @ 8:48 am

anand jon jeanisis spring 07

*sigh* This is my first and hopefully last scathing Fashion review ever.
A bus arrived at Bryant Park to shuttle us to the Metropolitan Pavillion where Anand Jon’s Jeanisis show was being held. It then proceeded to drop us off at the wrong location. Were off to a great start, right? The people at the door don’t have information about anyones seating arrangements so you’re just supposed to tell them where your seat is and they believe you. In that case everyone is front row, right?

Then the show was taking more than forever to start (forever is expected in fashion but more than forever and I start to get annoyed), I decide to make ample use of the time by catching up on my blogging so that I can hopefully be liveblogging about HIS show by the time it starts but unlike any of the other locations, they are not providing any free wifi access inside the building and I don’t have a connection of my own right now so I have to pay with a credit card in order to connect. I start fumbling around my multiple bags for a credit card and somehow manage to lose my cell phone although this is something I do not realize until I am long gone (I am still without the phone, btw).

Then the show starts. I am trying to think of an elegant way to state this but well, there really isn’t one. I HATED IT. From top to bottom despised everything. It was a big lot of poorly executed hoochified clubwear that wasn’t even styled decently. It was the polar opposite of Sabyasachi, no an ounce of class to be seen and believe me, I tried very hard to look for the light at the end of this tunnel. There’s really no point in me describing the clothes, it wasn’t even fashion to me. It was bargain basement stripper store gear in my opinion and some of the nudity shown was gratuitious and obscene. Now, I am not a prude at all, I love naked bodies as much as everyone else but I simply wasn’t there to see a bedazzled strip show.

I was so annoyed that I left as soon as I could and decided to not go to anymore shows for the rest of the day in fear of wasting my time only to be disappointed. It was a long day and I really hated having to end it that way. So far this was the only show that I disliked and that’s really all I have to say. Maybe some of you thought differently.

Fashion Week Backtrack: Day 2 (Saturday), Show 1- ACADEMY OF ART GRADUATES
Posted on 09.11.06 by Editor @ 2:49 am

By now, I was in much better shape and had a much better handle on the scene so at 9am, I was already in the swing of things as I happily bopped into The Promenade for the Academy of Art Graduates show.

The large crowd was bright and buzzing with excited chatter from the students friends and family. I’m not really sure what I was expecting exactly, but the presentation was executed professionally and managed to be edgy without being over-the-top or too “studenty”.

The choice in models couldn’t have been better. I was excited beyond words to see one of my favorite models EVER, Omahyra Mota, strutting her beautiful tattooed Dominican body down the runway in Li-Jen Alan Lee’s structured denim!!!

As far as describing the clothing, it isn’t too easy a task as there were several designers showing at the same time so there wasn’t any type of theme or seamless style for my brain to hold onto but I do remember being very impressed by the knitwear although I did wonder if some of it was a bit too chunky and weighty for Spring.

My favorite pieces were probably by Quyen Nguyen, who cited her inspiration for this show as being Girl Scout Uniforms mixed with Menswear. Cute.
