Weekly Style News and Gossip:
If you’re not going to hurt anyone or get arrested, then get a little (or a lot) crazy once in a while. Overdo the hair extensions or wear too much bling. If it weren’t for rule breakers, fashion (and life) would be one big bowl of plain oatmeal. This week we’re inspired by Helena Bonham Carter’s own testimony on why she just loves to step over the fashion line. Style Watch
It seems the red Alexander McQueen gown Michelle Obama wore to the recent state dinner (see above) raised a few eyebrows in the fashion world. Led by Diane von Furstenberg and Oscar de la Renta, the CDFA protested that the first lady’s choice to wear a a British designer to such an important function was a slight to American designers. Huff Post
You have to appreciate Cathy Horyn’s quirky and (sometimes) hysterically funny take on the runway shows. The lady asks all the right hypothetical questions: like why
does Giorgio Armani name his collection Privé, the French word for private, then market it to every corner of the earth. How is that private? I love that Ms. Horyn doesn’t let her brand of fashion journalism get too big for its (proverbial) britches. NY Times
