And the Princess Wears
So if Kate Middleton wears Vera Wang on her wedding, she's probably gonna be regarded as a national traitor, for not choosing a UK designer. So VW or Prince Charming. I guess most of us would hesitate, give it a real hard thought and jump right into the arms of Prince Charming. Here's to Bruce Oldfield, or Issa or the other royal tailors to be...

Head over toes
This is the time of the year, proper haircut comes before splendid pedicure, with them covered in wellingtons or soon booties, strictly ankle high.
So this is a selfish post that I’m totally gonna show it to my stylist…who blows hairdryer as if he’s getting other body part blowed as well- if you know him, you know this is not exaggerating…
I’m at this freaking shoulder length stage that nothing is right….argh….so it’s either edgy short or stick it to the annoying length, but more elegantly…
The Balenciaga look, maybe a bit too aggressive.
The Reed Krakoff is short, comfy at the same time feminine…one way or another…
Here goes with the likely shoulder lengths…

Fashion boy’s toy: Kouklitas by Andrew Yang
It’s hard not to be synical about guys making dolls but Andrew Yang is quite an exception. I didn’t realize its glamour and creapiness untill I saw his rag dolls, Kouklitas (greek word for dolls) for real at Central’s Joyce.
There are 47 of them, wrapped in the latest AW fashion. Amazing craftwork.
Andrew, in a skimpy vest, was so much more good looking than I’d imagined (though his skin is not exactly porcelain perfect), but still, he’s posing for the shooting with the dolls, as if he’s the prince living in his own fantasy, which he later said, was pretty true.
“You can’t necessarily wear Balmain down a stroll to the groceries but you can take the doll with you and have all sorts of fantasy with it…”
At the age of 25, he’s living his dream. Making dolls for the top fashion pros. He’s making a Anna Wintour doll as well as a similar collection with Barneys New York.
His eyes filled with slighted disturbed hesitation and slightly pretentious agony, you know, toxicated by the Japanese manga I can only anticipate. But still, it was a great talk and the dolls, hope fads do become fashions.
I thank him for the interesting conversation as well, especially when he lower the vest and showed off his tattoo of his great grand mother, an inspiring actress in silent movies in the 20s. I almost wanted to ask where he got inked.
