WE WE WE All The Way Home: Madonna's New York Film Premiere

(Madonna in Roberto Cavalli with new blood, Andrea Riseborough)

Madonna made a movie and brought it home to New York this week. 

The difference between the premiere at MoMA and the previous presentations at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals? 

"No one has gotten me a glass of champagne like they did in Venice and Toronto. So I’m sober"

Oh Madonna, I'm drunk in love with you! And your guest list ain't so bad either

(Parker Posey decked in red and a serapi)

(Umm... was there a crimson lady motif, Chloe Sevigny?)

(Olivier Theyskens and Richard Chai debate Like a Prayer versus Like A Virgin)

(Olivia Palermo, never match your shoes to your date's pocket square!)

(I guess Anne Vyalitsina looks good, but where's your boyfriend? He look better!)

(Luckily, The Silver Fox was there holding down the cute...)

(and Adrien Brody too!)

(I hope Madonna located the bar. But then again she always knew where to find the boys and the booze!) 

Revolving Diors

Ok with John Galliano suspended and obviously not coming back, a successor is needed for Christian Dior. Someone who can handle both the Ready to Wear and the Haute Couture.


Here's some of my suggestions




1. Jean Paul Gauliter

A very obvious choice what with his enfant terrible reputation and his love for the dramatic. He could easily carry Dior forward and is available for another house with fashion history to take on since he left Hermes.





2. Olivier Theyskens

I know he's busy with Theory and all, but after a triumphant turn at Nina Ricci and an equally dramatic oust, critical darling, Theyskiens, would be up for the challenge, I'm sure.





3. Stefano Pilati

With rumors swirling once more that the Gucci group is on the verge on letting him  go from Yves Saint Laurent, he'd be open for a job and obviously familiar with the pressures of taking on such a revered French fashion house.




4. Giambattista Valli

This man knows how to dress a woman so she is the epitome of glamour and sophistication. He has a large celebrity following, which LVMH will need to pull Dior's reputation back (there will unfortunately  be a negative view connected until someone is able to wipe the slate clean).



With so many talents around, though, there isn't a shortage of designers to take over and perhaps we can look at this as a breath of fresh air and forward momentum for Dior.

Theyskens' Theory is Everyone Needs a Black Blazer

Olivier Theyskens' Theory line landed today and there's a lot of great pieces but this blazer really made my eye sparkle.

Yes, at $600, it be price, but this isn't just any old black blazer. Check out these details: stretch wool, narrow lapel, clean, no pocket, no button closure and curved hem (and the little widow's peak on the back of the neck drives me wild! Love it!)

Although I'm not sure I'd rock it the way they did on the runway. That no blouse look a little frowned on at work.

Well, usually.

What's the THEORY Behind This??

Olivier Theyskens, of the Gothic tiered and floaty chiffon dresses and the torturous footwear, has now been named the Creative Director for THEORY of the office appropriate slacks and skirt suits

Head scratcher----how do the two tango? 

(typical Theyskens)

(typical Theory)

But I guess the critics also protested Chocolate and Peanut Butter's nuptials once too. We shall see...
