i wish karl lagerfeld were my friend

Between he and Pierre Bergé, I don't know who would be more fun to gossip with.

The latest and greatest on Balenciaga:

"Prints are for middle-aged women with weight problems."

It's funny because it's true.

Old news, but Neiman Marcus is celebrating its 100th birthday with exclusives across its wide array of designers. My favourite is their limited edition Balenciaga City in a rich turquoise-blue colour and giant gunmetal hardware, pictured below.

If Harper's Bazaar can agree that the Motorcycle handbags are now considered classic, this baby will be worth a fortune in a few years as its quantities are very limited.

I still love my Ink more.

parrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiisss! f/w 2007

Viktor & Rolf

I have to be honest - I was never a fan of their women's clothing. And really, I still am not. That whole H&M line that everyone went crazy for did nothing for me. Their show was very different though... well presented.

Yohji Yamamoto

I'll be honest, I've never heard of her before this year. I thought the signature print was absolutely hideous and looked like an LV knock-off. There was too much black for me.

Jean-Paul Gaultier

I loved the concept of the show, and the use of plaid. Plaid is awesome! It was over the top, but I guess haute couture is supposed to be. I liked how wild the faces/hairpieces were.

Karl Lagerfeld

His collection was stunning. You could definitely see Chanel in it, but with an edgier feel. I love his contemporary stuff. His tees are great. Some of his designs for his line are really out there- kinda reminds me of Rachel Roy. But he still has my heart.

Comme des Garcons

I can't even describe Comme des Garcons. Just look at the picture.

Balenciaga

This was hands down my favourite. They're getting a lot of flack for being a little bit weird, but I think it's actually wearable.

More later...

Chanel and McQueen on Friday!
