The Love Magazine will be live streaming  Miu Miu Fall 2010 ready-to-wear collection today at  at  8:00 GMT. For all our American readers, that translates to 3:00 EST….I think, I’m so time challenged that I have the self esteem issues of a 14-year old when it comes to speaking about anything that requires a clock or calendar (I mean what is with that “+ 1″ in the flier anyway?). Correct me if I’m wrong, which I probably am!

Via Highsnob:  Hellz shares their new Spring 2010 collection, ‘Obsessed With You’. The collection “reflects an obscure view of modern fashion and the obsession that it becomes. A minimal color story reflects the theme of obsession with the main focus on the unique and simplistic details of each silhouette. [...] Hellz continues to cross boundaries with well thought-out design and carefully crafted details as well as demonstrating that fashion may be work to some and it may be a hobby for others, but for popular culture it will forever be an obsession.”More Images on the flip. and the complete collection here.

One of these days very soon I am going to get my first manicure at New York salon Valley (because I’ve only been dying to for at least two years!) but in the meantime, I’m enjoying the crop of new nail art images they recently put up on the site, especially the super hot matte black ones featured on this page.

On the next page, four additional images, including a set of nails modeled by none other than MOB designer Leah McSweeney.

We posted earlier about Karl being inspired by plushies for his fall ready-to-wear collection, and today we delve into some of the background of the amazing runway the furrie models walked for the show. According to Wallpaper, “the runway was painted with a trompe l’oeil effect, giving the impression of deep, glacial ice underneath. This was topped with a shallow layer of water. Chanel had also hired 35 ice sculptors who, over the course of 6 days, hewed 240 tonnes of ‘snice’ (frozen snow-ice, if you’re unfamiliar with the term) into a dramatic icescape, reaching 8.5 metres at its highest point. Models donned special transparent Chanel galoshes to wade through the watery catwalk and pace around the Iceberg.” One question, how do you find 35 ice sculptors?? Lol, can you imagine the Craig’sList ad?

The collaboration that had the fashion world all twisted up and bothered has ended. Vogue France reports that starlet Lindsay Lohan is no longer “artistic counselor”  of the Iconic label. When it comes to fashion  this choice  really bothered me, no offense to the  young actrice but  let’s face it when there is  world filled with women who live and breathe fashion in all walks of life , I still really wonder why? Was it about being on the cover of a tabloid every week ? This decision was not necessary when   Ungaro is one of the quintessentially chic  sophisticated, classy  high end labels created around the same the  same time as YSL.  My 2 cents:  Just ask LVMH to but you off  and let’s end  the madness.

It’s funny because today earlier I was posting about a three-year-old Married to the Mob video and how MOB designer Leah McSweeney was an early appreciator of the wonders of plushies. I wonder if when Karl did this collection he was aware of the whole stuffed animal sex fetish thing. I’m thinking he had to be. I have to say when you stumble upon the world of plushophiles, it is really fascinating and inspiring. Just read the following quotes from a well-known Vanity Fair article on furry fandom and see if it doesn’t make you smile: “We’re a group of people who like things having to do with animals and cartoons,” a man in a tiger suit tells a woman. “We’re furries.” Maybe after a year of more b.s. than he could imagine, Karl was looking to feel a little happy. Bless his creative heart if that is the case.

When attending the trade shows, I always intend to take candids of the fashionable folks strolling the floors, but you’d be surprised if you haven’t been to the shows because it’s not always easy to find photo-worthy walkers! For a lot of attendees, it’s a work event and they’re wearing comfy (read: b-o-r-i-n-g) footwear. The one exception was New York’s Coterie. That crowd was much more dressed up, but then again the labels that show there are higher end and the crowd is older. Alas, I forgot my camera that day. The image above was worn by a LAMB rep at the Project show in Vegas. After the flip some candids of Chloe boots, Jeffrey Campbell wedges and and a couple of other cute styles spotted at Magic (also held in Vegas), Project and Compass (in New York).
