If you only bought one item this season I hope it was a pair of over-the-knee boots!


Isabel Marant F09

I loved this look a couple of years ago when Kate Moss wore them in a casual, every day way with skinny jeans and a tuxedo jacket. Isabel Marant styled them in a similar way for this season. Check out this video on how to wear over-the-knee boots from Elle UK, fun!

The Divine Decadence of Helmut Newton

As I mentioned recently, the current fascination amongst certain runway designers and celebrities with racy lingerie looks often brings to mind Helmut Newton 's style of photography. If only he were still alive, what a moment he'd be having. Unfortunately he died in a macabre accident when his car hit a wall in the driveway of Chateau Marmont which had for several years served as his L.A. residence. It has been speculated that Newton suffered a heart attack in the moments before the collision. Newton favorite Nadja Auermann appeared in many of his portraits including these photos taken for American Vogue in 1994. Newton was born in Berlin in 1920.

Goldin shot the campaign in Staten Island, N.Y., and it will break in February fashion titles" Amy Wicks for WWD, January 12 2010 I have long been a great fan of the photographer Nan Goldin. Full disclosure: my career began with an internship at the Village Voice back when that newspaper was known for cool and edgy reporting. It included a monthly fashion magazine called View whose editors liked working with the sort of photographers who dance to the beat of a different drum.  Nan Goldin was one of them. Shot in the Ea

Japanese ad for iMac, 1998 iMac in 5 colors 1999 My obsession with Apple began in 1999 when I bought my first i-Mac. I don't mind admitting that the main reason I bought it was because of the way it looked.The ergonomic shape was both futuristic yet comforting and who could resist those fresh and juicy colors? Mine was blueberry but you could also have strawberry, lime, tangerine and grape. It was a eureka moment for me, that first realization that computers and electronics don't have to be beige and boring or worse still frightening and hard to use. It's quaint to think about it now but my hesitation about buying it was based on the fact that it was a hard drive and monitor "all-in-one". Based on the comments of the few computer buffs I knew back then, this could prove to be a problem later on if the hard drive broke down but the monitor was still good or vice versa. Well form won out over possible malfunction, I bought my first Apple product and I have never l
