Fashion Dirt Tuesday

Have you found yourself irrevocably caught up in the current Fall Fashion 2010 shows/news/dirt? Maybe dipping my toe...OK whole foot/leg back into the Sonia pool did it.

How about this story:

The much-feared Anna W announces she will, "Only stay 3 days in Milan" so they march outside the shows with "Anna" wigs and great T-shirts saying "Only 3 Days" Would you not kill for one of these T-shirts? Be honest.

Will they go up on eBay soon?

I'll bring you up to date on just one show- Raf for Jil Sander.
This is the new power babe look- yep shorts in the board room.

Actually pretty gorge. You can catch the whole show here.
With a BIG reference to Laura Croft Tomb Raider:The Cradle of Life (2003) They used the soundtrack as their catwalk music, which BTW was a big cross! Yep I put it up next my NETFLIX lineup. I do get the clean, hard look of this, the slicked-back pony tail hair etc. But hello? This movie is from 2003. Is this really news? Whatever. Fashion is all about referencing. It doesn't matter if it's Olive Oyl and Popeye as long as you REFERENCE!

To really get with it you have to read the fashion blogs, and I am totally captivated just like everybody else by Tavi. This 13-year old can put a sentence together that drops your jaw to the floor. Her writing is just plain BEAUTIFUL and the fashion world has taken notice. She is invited everywhere, including Harper's Bazaar. Which brings me to this confession..I seem to have unconsciously channeled Tavi with my Sonia drawing have I not?
What do you think?
An easy way to catch up on all the fashion blogs is to click on the NYTimes Scorecard

Like did you know that Marc banned Madonna and Gaga from His Catwalk Show. Yeah they were showing up late(Gaga how dare you?) or inviting themselves backstage(Madonna, how could you?). Hey fashion is big biz and these celebs are not calling the shots red carpet or no. NO WAY.

c'est la vie

Last October in Paris I got a taste for the bright lights. A mini taste of glory. A guard at the Louvre Carrousel mistakenly let me into a show. Maybe they needed bums on seats? I did throw out the word, "bloggeur, blog bla bla bla"

I got to stand with the big boys, the Pros.

And I LOVED it. The wheels start turning..maybe in March 2010?

Granted I've only taken these tacky shots of the choco fashions before my big break at Marie Bishara - Spring 2010 Still a girl can dream...

I got my paws on the Fr. fashion guide and figured I'd apply for 2010 accredation in Jan, yep.
You know the first designer I emailed bien sur, Sonia.
But in my crazy excitement, I addressed it to:

Chere Fleur Girardet,

I would like to attend and report on the Sonia Rykiel show for my blog, parisbreakfast bla bla bla

Quicker than a flash I got a response back.

Fleur Girardet is working for Chanel please update your files.

OMG :( My miserable response: S.V.P. Pardon Edouard %$#@

I am seeking a photography invite. Very sorry

Back to the barricades...

Unless I can come up with this look.

BONJOUR Fashionista Wannabes!
