Break a Leg! In case you didn’t catch my Heel of an Obsession piece this issue, I am ecstatic that the fashion world is focusing so much attention on heels. Strappy, platforms, slingbacks, python, leather, pleather, suede, canvas…. I can’t get enough! I couldn’t even finish writing this paragraph without opening up another window online to shoe shop, like these 5 inches of heaven from Barbara Bui. Check out more like these in our Ultimate Shoe Guide.

Speaking of shoes….. I really do mean I love everything! Even the beyond ridiculous ones, like these 5 ½ inch heel-less versions from Antonio Berardi. I would probably fall back and twist my leg in 5 spots, but these are so pointless they’re actually clever. Kind of like a Warhol painting. It shouldn’t be a surprise that the pointless but clever Victoria Beckham allegedly dropped $3600 on the snakeskin version.

Shoulder Pads Will Win You Awards Am I the only one not jumping on the Agyness Deyn bandwagon? The US, England, and Australia are calling this British model the next Kate Moss/Twiggy/fashion “it” girl. Magazines are plastering her glossy photos everywhere, praising her for her edge and ability to put together “amazing looks”. Don’t get me wrong, I love anyone who brings something fresh to the table, and her attitude is very hip, but I can walk down the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn and stumble over 40 girls per block that share her same “savvyness” of mixing 80’s pieces.

Movie Moment With all the heavy gold accessories, sheer long dresses, heavy eyeliner, blunt haircuts, and loosely tailored 70’s inspired outfits I can’t help but think of Sharon Stone in “Casino”. No girl can forget the scene where Robert De Niro presents her with a giant jewelry box filled with Bvlgari baubles. It's the scene right after he walks her through her new 600 square foot closet stocked with Givenchy, Haltson, Pucci, and vintage furs. Of course this is before her character becomes a crazy coke whore, cuts her hair and starts wearing atrocious 80’s get-ups.

Mug This, Bitch! Thieves might think twice about snatching this converted Prada bag by Dutch artist Ted Noten: Inside a block of Lucite in his “Lady K NR 4” bag is an engraved and heavily gold plated gun with gold plated bullet. Paired, with Kiki de Montparnasse’s 24k gold plated handcuffs, you’ve got a whole new meaning to the term Fashion Police.

A Fat Free Future If you start dieting now, you might look good in the outfits fashion designers think we’ll be wearing when space ships land. Oh wait, these are meant for this fall/winter. Ukrainian designer Olga Gromova recently showed a line of skintight metallic body suits during Kiev Fashion Week that doesn’t take into account that the average American is a size 12. Even if you are Kate Bosworth-sized, I still couldn’t imagine living a normal life in silver spandex. Sorry Richard Simmons. In the meantime, it’s good to know you’ll have something to wear in case you decide to book a trip on Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic space flights.
