Alex Wang (can we call him Alex?) is really going for it with the Helmut Lang influences don’t you think? Not that I mind, I’m quite digging this wider-legged boy-fit tuxedo from pre-fall 2011 complete with superfine white poloneck…
That said I also love Jason Wu’s more elegant take on the tux with the shiny peg pants and sheer blouse. Very Betty Catroux, no? But isn’t that bow-tie/scarf rather reminiscent of Lanvin-for-H&M?
This spring-summer, fashion is all about channelling the hedonistic days (and nights) of Studio 54 as reimagined by Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs and the entire UK high street – probably. One part of me thinks yaaaawn, what again? But another part thinks YAAAAY! The latter part is loving these evocative images* which I just nabbed from Retrovintagemodstyle. Now, I think I can see why people who were there (yes you Marc) keep harking back. Bungalow 8 isn’t quite the same is it?
*please look at Michael Jackson – so adorable

It’s up! The Tom Ford video of his ss11 show is finally OUT THERE so what do we all think? I love the concept of the show, casting etc but I’m not that sold on the clothes. They’re nice enough but nothing new. Maybe they need to be seen up close? What do you think?
Is Christopher Bailey a frustrated rock star? How else to explain his out-of-control obsession with Brit indie music? Why, even the hold music for Burberry HQ consists of warbling Bailey-approved Brit bands – talk about attention to detail.
From the look of this image of Johnny Borrell recording for Burberry, I’d say something’s definitely up – *gasp* – surely not a Burberry-sponsored stab at the Christmas number one? Say it ain’t so (although Borrell and Edie Campbell in a Burberry-wardrobed, Testino-directed video would be damn cute)…
