Vogue Passes, Fails Spring Collections
As usual, Vogue has created order where there was once only chaos.
I speak, of course, of Fashion Week.
The Winners
1) Alexander McQueen: "Depression-era realities and dreams"
Grapes of Wrath chic--clearly a shoo-in.
2) Balenciaga
Between the high-waisted pants and the intergalactic
bounty hunter jackets, Balenciaga is so damn hard to wear.
Vogue gives them extra points for exclusivity.
3) Louis Vuitton: "Audacious," "Gilded"
I have nothing clever to say, except that it was
audacious and gilded.
Other Winners:
-Calvin Klein
-Chanel
-Hussein Chalayan
-Marc Jacobs
-Prada
-Proenza Schouler
-Rick Owens
The Losers:
Everybody else. Which includes Michael Kors.

Reader Question: What Exactly Is Bespoke?
I know, right? All of a sudden, every Stella McCartney interview is bespoke this,
bespoke that. Apparently it's just a fancy word for custom made.

Men Should Dress Like Bureaucrats Or Airline Pilots
This week's Simon Says, brought to you by loveable--but not quite
cuddly--window-dressing Simon Doonan, decrees there are but three types
of male fashion: Freaks, Fops, and Fascists. The Fop group
is endangered, Simon Says, but does he know? I've
tripped over too many men in Kiehl's to see this breed die out.
Also, check your calendar--isn't 2003 the Year Of The
Metrosexual?
