Renaissance man Makin writes stories and scripts, makes clothes for his characters, and then films the entire effort. For Spring/Summer 08 the theme is Wild in Heart. His latest 10 minute short involves a sleepy blonde, a mysterious bathtub, and is entitled Life Sucks but it Tastes Good:
"The drumstick runs along all the walls in the room and then landed on Snow’s bed," explains the description. "Snow is sleeping. Guts sits on her belly and start using the drumstick to touch Snow’s fore head to her nose, her mouth and then her body. The drumstick runs around Snow’s breast and then down her feet, her toes. Snow doesn’t wake up…"

Camisoles are the kind of versatile piece that every budget fashionista should have in her wardrobe -- you need one in black, one in white, one in off-white, and then any other colors that grab you. They're good for under jackets, sweaters, button down shirts, v-neck tees, or layering up with....

While both of these logo-ridden bags are ridiculously ugly, they managed not only to commit crimes against good taste...but to waste four years of the court's time in a heated copyright dispute. Louis Vuitton has maintained that the Dooney & Burke "It" bag infringed on LV's Takashi Murakami-designed Monograme Multicolore...however the court wasn't buying.
"[Louis Vuitton] offered no proof that the similarities in the marks is likely to confuse ordinary consumers, whether it is at the point of initial interest, point-of-sale, or post-sale," wrote U.S. District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin in a recent decision. "Even the testimony of Louis Vuitton's director of intellectual property suggests Louis Vuitton's infringement claim is not necessarily premised on a likelihood of confusion between its products and those of [the] defendant, but rather Louis Vuitton's distaste at being associated with the It Bags."
While LV naturally plans to appeal the decision, the judge actually came to the correct conclusion. Why? Common sense will tell you that a woman buying Dooney & Burke is most likely not (nor ever will be) a Louis Vuitton customer, so the Dooney bag would not have cost LV many lost sales. And most importantly, protecting a design from a competitor's version simply because of a close resemblance is anti-competitive.
In actual fact, the Dooney & Burke version probably helped LV by (unfortunately) spreading awareness of the Murakami design. (via WWD)

She has finally done it! We have seen Victoria Beckham carry her Hermes Ostrich Birkin, Hermes Kelly Longue, Rouge Birkin, white Birkin, Hermes Kelly Lizard Pochette, Hermes Baccara Clutch, and the list goes on. But when it has come to her Birkin’s, Victoria has seemingly stuck with leather, not exotics. Sure there has been an [...]

The sartorial standouts at the recent 2008 CFDA awards actually took the time to get "dressed" and honor the occasion in glamorous eveningwear.

Timeless chic shades of black, white and crimson showed up the slackers in inappropriately casual attire (paging Fern Mallis in a
shapeless floral sack, Marina Rust Connor in a matronly bulky strapless
dress paired for some unknown reason with clunky black secretary pumps,
and Gigi Mortimer in a sleeveless cabana-ready striped resort number), and those that let the trends wear them (NYC Mayor Bloomberg's date in garish head-to-toe shiny purple Ralph Lauren).

Chaiken Diaper Bag
It has felt like eons since I have discussed a diaper bag on Purse Blog. Reason being, I do not have a baby, I am not nannying, and it is out of sight out of mind. But while browsing Saks I ran into what seemed a really cool diaper bag. Nothing overly amazing, [...]
