Move on Karl

The way Karl Lagerfeld is staging himself has gotten to a point where it's becoming a bit ridiculous. In my eyes he's just so desperate of getting his name into the fashion history books, and not be forgotten that he's putting bits of himself in any thing he's doing. That can be a good thing, but with him it's getting a bit obsessed. I don't get  his urge to always say "I'm still here. I'm the one who made this. I'm Karl Lagerfeld". Come on. We know who you are, you don't need to reminds os every minute. I'm so tired of men with such low self-esteem that they constantly need to stage them self and remind everybody else about their being. 

When not even a model can wear it....

When not even a tall and slim model can wear an outfit perfectly, then there's not much hope for all us mortal. I really can't see any nice angle in the Louis Vuitton pre fall 2010 collection. First there are the pants that are even too long for a 180 cm tall model. I am 164 cm, so I would pretty much look like a dwarf in a set of pants like those... Next there is the indian outfit which I simply don't get at all. Where did that come from Marc Jacobs?! And last but not least there is the school girl outfit that simply doesn't suit any one but a school girl. And school girls would never wear this any way, so why Marc, why?!! I can't see any link between these looks, and they're certainly not very contemporary.

Perhaps Victoria Beckham would love the oversize pants, Madonna the school girl outfit and Sofia Coppola the indian style, but I doubt it... 

What went wrong with good old depend-on-sexy-clothes-Cavalli?

I have to ask: "What went wrong here Roberto?" Milan has always been the fashion city out of the four (New York, London and Paris) that you knew would deliver some serious sexy-as-hell dresses. But it seems as if Milan is growing up and wants to be more serious than that. A situation I don't understand since the sexy dress part worked so fine. New York got the sportswear, London the avantgarde, Paris the chicness and Milan the sexyness. Versace, Gucci and Roberto Cavalli always delivered the greatest dresses for girls like Angelina Jolie, Beyoncé and Dita von Teese. Versace and Gucci are still going strong, still with sex appeal but in a much more decent way, and a much more boring way. But then the is Roberto Cavalli. Always a man we depended on making a good damn hot dress. Well... it seems like he is going in an other direction far far away from his roots. And that I don't mean in a good way. The female/male touch in a romantic blend is just so not Cavalli. It could perhaps work for Miu Miu or Chloé. But not for Cavalli. I think the average Cavalli woman will be very disappointed.
