coroner rules on amy winehouse's death →
“Winehouse had 416mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood in her system: 350 mg is when alcohol can kill you and 80mg is the legal limit for driving in the U.K., meaning Winehouse was five times over that.”

my paris fashion week experience: part 7 - celine
i PROMISE this is the last one (but aren’t you happy i’ve gotten it all out there now?), and i saved one of the best for last. when my bosses asked me to pop by celine between classes on thursday, i couldn’t say no. phoebe philo? i’m there!
this season, we saw an evolution and a stepping out from phoebe’s traditionally minimalist ways. alright, there weren’t...

alright, i’ll preface this one by saying i’ve never really drank the valli kool-aide. it’s just not my style, and that’s no reflection on the clothes or any of the people (beyond the fact that they don’t make all black things and i don’t really wear leopard print). that said, i liked this collection for valli. it was, after all, très valli, animal prints and...

amazingly, just as i was seeing these shows, some of my bosses from new york had arrived in paris to see their shows and go to their buying appointments. and what’s more perfect than having your intern studying in paris when you need help?
the first buying appointment that i helped them with was stella mccartney - one of my favorite shows of the season. the prints, the dresses, the ease,...

my paris fashion week experience: part 4 - issey...
i was extremely happy going to the issey miyake show on sunday (the day following comme des garçons). as soon as i found out it was being held in the tuileries i knew this was the perfect way to cap my show-going experience this fashion week.
walking from the metro through the tuileries to the temporary show space right next to the musee de l’orangerie made me feel, again, like some sort of...

the third show i had the honor of attending was the comme des garçons mainline show, held a few hours after the junya watanabe show in the 11th arrondissement, in a sort of gym-type space at the palais de la femme.
what a show. each show i’d seen before this (nina ricci, margiela, and junya) were great shows, but there weren’t spectacles. this show was, unarguable, a spectacle.

early saturday morning, after dealing with a lot of annoying inconveniences converging at one moment, i cabbed out to the 11th arrondissment to see the junya watanabe women’s show. it was held in a modern theatre, set back from the sidewalk by a courtyard. walking in, i couldn’t help but gawk at all the amazing japanese-skewed street style i was seeing. and the added bonus? all the...

this year, i had the good fortune of getting tickets to a few shows here in paris. here are my thoughts from the front row*. for posterity’s sake, i’ll divide my thoughts into a few posts, instead of one long, tedious one.
part 1: maison martin margiela
the margiela show was on friday afternoon, at 4:30 pm. the show was held on the seine, in a sort of concrete boat dock...
