'Skyfall': The Fashion Review

That cufflink-speeding train move? Just the tip of the bespoke iceberg when it comes to deconstructing Daniel Craig's Bond through his fashionista sensibilities. But what do Skyfall's style choices tell us about 007's frame of mind? From the sharp-eyed folks at Clothes on Film, dapper deconstruction of Skyfall: "For the man himself a modern cut of single breasted, two and three button Britishness. In context these costumes feel real. Silva’s (Javier Bardem) long leather coat might be a villain’s indulgence, but Bond looks immaculate and attainable; far from Savile Row though instilled with the swagger of 1960s cool. Even if Craig – here at his broadest – is in danger of bursting from the fabric on occasions, the vents always hang straight and providing he remembers to breathe in, the top button closes comfortably." "For the man himself a modern cut of single breasted, two and three button Britishness. In context these costumes feel real. Silva’s (Javier Bardem) long leather coat might be a villain’s indulgence, but Bond looks immaculate and attainable; far from Savile Row though instilled with the swagger of 1960s cool.

Anya Hindmarch: "Luxury is a good story about a label '

Luxury has become rather overused word. But what, really, what does it mean? This is a question I've been thinking and I think that more than one answer - because there are now two completely different types of luxury consumption: new and established. I travel a lot more, the BRIC countries Brazil, Russia, India and China, and I am able to see how their new shop enriched population. I found myself fascinated and frightened alike for queues of luxury consumers wait patiently at "big name" stores, sometimes seen in the rain, everything to what it buy the same bag. Hermes Birkin 40CM Handbags This "new world" and the general state seeks opportunities to showcase their new wealth. Logos are the key to recognized forms of advertising giant retail and palaces. At the same time, but there may be a growing demand in established luxury markets such as Europe and the United States, customers who do not wish, members of a club, but individuals. It is a return to the reason why people bought "luxury goods" in the first place: They wanted something personal, something unique, something that they were involved in the creation - something that has a story. When someone recently asked me to name my favorite luxury brands, I realized that I enjoy the luxury feel most were not really marked at all. For example, there is a small shop in Milan's hand crafts genuine horn glasses and seriously the date that they were inside. I wish I could remember his name - but the fact is that this is not really the name that is important, but the product. Another luxury brand, which I guess is not very Madini Perfumery in Tangier, which has been in business for 400 years. Here they are mixed a personal perfume to your taste. My husband has a trunk that has been done to his grandfather, which is wider than usual. The reason is that it has very big feet and his luggage had his shoes to accommodate (I took that as a good sign for the men of the family at the time!). Hence the old tribe has a story, and every time we show someone the boot story is told well. More than anything, it's the feeling of a personal collection, which means "luxury" for me. These days, the customer wants the challenging experience. They want to be their luxury department about them, not the designer. And that's why luxury brands are no longer divided into two categories: those which offer the new world, and those who market the incumbent. This is, of course, to the world, the newly-built, and the created world, the Third World: Oh, the fun and games of being in the luxury sector. It is this knowledge that allows me to develop my custom shop in London where everything is dedicated to the adjustment made. Each element is. Named the person who in the foreground of the leather, and the customer can request SMS messages written in their own, are marked on the inside Even the boxes are items have in the customer's name on it, instead of me, the designer of the packaging.

Did She Really Pee in Champagne Bucket as Performance Art

After walking between ranks of bare-chested men wearing tight leather pants and shoulder harnesses, you are standing in the lobby of the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan, and Lady Gaga is sleeping on a black velvet divan inside a giant perfume bottle set on a stage. French music is playing. Masked people are walking up onto the stage, sticking their hands through a hole and caressing Lady Gaga’s hand. No, this is not a surreal dream—it’s a launch event for the fragrance Lady Gaga Fame. For an hour, basically every one of the hundreds at the party is free to touch her hand as she sleeps. Prior to this, a short film, part of the campaign, made its debut. Directed by Steven Klein, the movie features Gaga in various positions, like underwater, crab- walking; lying on her side, naked; wearing black latex; writhing around in black goop; having scantily clad men crawl all over her; and lots and lots of black ooze. VF Daily caught up with Klein in the crowd, and he explained the film’s premise. “It’s the idea of the pleasures and pain of fame, and the temptation of fame. What is it like to embark on the journey of fame, and what are the costs of fame?” The famed fashion photographer also explained Gaga’s Sleeping Beauty performance. “Everybody wants a piece of fame,” he said. “It’s simple. Everybody wants a piece of fame, so it’s like, in the end, what do they really want? They don’t really know. But unless they touch her, they’re not really satisfied.” The invitation called for black-tie masquerade. Recommended headwear was “mask, hat, tiara, crown or lobster.” There was a creative display on hand, everything from a Warhol lookalike, complete with silver wig, to model Jessica Stam in a knockout evening dress. Some creative types had to scramble to put together a look. “I just put it together very quickly. I didn’t even realize that you had to come dressed up, so I just pulled stuff out of my cupboard,” Ellen von Unwerth said. Olivier Theyskens wore a mask made from the invitation to the party, with holes poked out for eyes and nose. “I just did it there, on the side of the street,” Theyskens said. He slapped it onto a pair of eyeglasses. Marc Jacobs already had the glittering horns he wore on his head. “Stephen Jones did them for me for a spring collection a few years ago,” Jacobs told VF Daily. Lady Gaga Fame is billed as the first-ever black eau de parfum; it turns clear once it becomes airborne. What does Jacobs make of that? Turning to watch Gaga’s sleeping-and-being-touched performance for a moment, he turned back to us and said, “Well, you wouldn’t expect her to do something that’s been done before, really, would you?” No, indeed, we would not. And, it turned out, that was only phase one of the performance piece. After Gaga “woke,” she primped in front of a mirror, brushed her hair, touched up her makeup. David Bowie’s “Fame” came on the sound system. She sprayed the perfume onto her neck. At one point, she crouched for awhile—it was hard to tell exactly what she was doing, but the general consensus was that she peed into a champagne bucket—and an assistant helped her to dress. Sitting on the floor of the perfume-bottle space, she and Steven Klein kissed and smoked on an electronic cigarette. She swigged from a bottle of Patrón and changed into a corset, her bare ass visible to all, projected on the giant screen above the Guggenheim lobby. Someone started shaving over the recently shaved portion of the back of Gaga’s head, and then he repeatedly dabbed it with paper, eventually revealing a design—an angel. For the next hour and a quarter, we watched Lady Gaga get a new tattoo on the back of her head. What would she do next? The answer came at 11 PM, as Guggenheim staffers circulated among partygoers, politely asking them to leave, as the museum was now closed.
