Teletype: Jean Paul Gaultier for Target.
Now it’ official Jean Paul Gaultier is making a capsule collection for the American Target. I can’t say that it was unexpected (there rumors were out there for quite a long time now) but I still think that it’s a great surprise that JPG has decided to collaborate with Target (note that he did not work with the Swedish clothing brand H&M).
This collection will hit the shelves on March 7th and will be available only in 250 Target stores in USA.
Despite the fact that Gaultier is not going to bring back alive his iConic bras and fishnet tights (so adored by Madonna back in 80-ies), the upcoming collection will certainly make up for the Target clothing range and most probably even drive new fashion-aware customers to the 250 selected stores this spring!
Who knows who’s going to be the face for the ad campaign – Kate Perry maybe? or Rihanna? We’ll see in couple of months.
Ungaro + Lohan =???
I heard a lot of talking about the recent addition to the Ungaro house, namely about their new employee – Lindsay Lohan. I am not a fan of her movies, neither I am a fan of her sense of style – only if constantly wearing a pair of leggings is considered as a sense of style at all… Usually I don’t tend to criticize people and the way they dress but this time it’s different – she is an “artistic advisor” of the house…hmmm in other words she will actually try to influence the way other people dress – fashion-aware people. The whole idea I think was a failure from the beginning. If you have got a limited imagination in what concerns your own style then how in the world she can “CREATIVELY” advise???
And there we are…(and I even find it hilarious) models on the runway wearing HEARTS not only on their dresses and jackets but on their foreheads!!!
What can I say? Halloween is only a week away… The Queen of Hearts from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland will be jealous…if you wear one of those forehead stickers…
Nonsense, absolute nonsense! Why doing this to us? Huh Ungaro?
On the brighter side, there was one thing that caught my attention is the nipple glitter stickers… They really looked nice with a black blazer.
Please, anyone, explain why Ungaro ever hired her?
The only thing that I can think of is that Ungaro house needed an immediate media attention and a bust of PR… and they got it! But not sure that this will help them to sell more stuff or to become more powerful on the fashion Olympe.
Wallpaper?
I am usually very skeptical when it comes to wall decor – I never know what to choose wall-paint or wallpaper? The last one seemed to me old fashioned – a part of my grandma’s apartment in the center of European city M. Things change drastically with time. Now I find it cute and adorable when somebody I know use wallpapers. However it is still very demanding way to decorate the walls of your room…
What I like about today’s fashion is that many of talented designers are trying themselves in different fields – for example, perfumery, beauty products or interior decor of cars and airplanes. But designer home supplies are still quite limited, here I am mostly talking about those fashion clothes designers such as Hermes, Ralph Laurent, Lanvin…
Rarely there are exceptions – and certain designers do get involved in home decorations. This time it is Vivienne Westwood. Her collaboration with English wallpaper brand Cole&Son has resulted in a beautiful range of wallpaper creations inspired (or better say taken directly from) by her “Autumn-Winter 81/82 Pirate collection and the more recent Cut-Out Lace from the Spring-Summer 07 I am Expensiv collection.”
If you are in “renovation” mood then this range is totally worth your consideration – high fashion and quality combination is the killer this season! (and there is one retailer point in Mississauga, Canada)

Love Disney? Love Cinderella story? All your childhood you have dreamed about having one of those beautiful glass shoes? And you Love fashion?
If you answered “yes” to all these questions then this must be a dream come true for you! Just recently I found out that Maison Martin Margiela has launched their version of glass shoes. Pointy, with sky high heels, they are just perfect gift for any girl for any occasion… and you don’t need to have a fairy Godmother to get a pair of those… all you need is 2 580 dollars! (I guess that’s the price you have to pay to become a Cinderella)
And if you want you can buy one shoe and let your prince charmant to get the other one.
