“The mix [of Carine Roitfeld] with Freja was genius,” Karl Lagerfeld told WWD this past April.

This Swatch has nipples on it
Also a navel.
‘Ducky Brigade’ by Hiroyuki Matsura for Swatch & ART. RRP £44.50
I don’t have my Swatch x Rankin watch anymore, I gave it as a gift. When I was a kid, all I wanted was a Swatch watch. Then I finally got one, and gave it away to be nice. I disgust myself.
It’s Vintage Value Time at Rokit!
Are the sales happening earlier and earlier every year? Will I ever have money to go splurge on a beautiful Erdem dress? Will anyone be in a stupid enough sale mode to buy these? (they come in 4 colours!)
These are some questions I have no answer to. But I can tell you when the Rokit sale starts in a week, on the 5th July.
Because I’m poor and I like to assume everyone else likes to save money (however I once knew a girl who used to throw pennies away, and once I tried it, and I FELT awful) I’m gonna direct you over to the sale preview.
Ladies shuffle over here and fellas mosey on here. Keep an eye on the site, as hundreds of items are being added everyday including I hope, some good pussy bows (my boss likes me in them.)
BLAIR WALDORF, U R MY QUEEN.
Versace x H&M – Donatella dips into the vintage archives for high street supremo
So good ol’ trouty mouth dipped into the archives for GaGa and thought, what the hey, let’s reinterpret some vintage Versace for that harbinger of mass produced gloom, H&M!
(I jest, I like H&M, and Donatella reminds me of a more mature GaGa, so I know what to expect in on her next album cover.)
The internets has already been a flutter on the news. The collection will include ranges for women, men and selected pieces for the home and goes on sale on November 17 in 300 stores worldwide and online. In addition, Donatella Versace has also designed a pre-spring collection for H&M which will be exclusively available from January 19, 2012.
Archive prints are the big news, for me, and I’m kinda liking this studded leather jacket, mainly because I hope the extra weight will tone my biceps.
But I am more interested to see the men’s ranges, as this tuxedo already looks kinda BAUS.

Rankin x Swatch: Photography is grabbing technology by the balls #MTVPlayground
In the second part of guest editor Rankin’s videos, he talks about advances in photography and embracing what photography is about, which is letting go of the romantic notion of film and GRABBING TECHNOLOGY BY THE BALLS*
*I’m not lying, he says that in the video.
Rankin x Swatch AKA There was a party at his gaff and I was there #MTVPlayground
I went to a party at Rankin’s gaff last week. It was pretty sweet. Hung out with the great man (again, 3rd times the charm, after crying and then being jetlagged immensely), amuse bouched the people from Swatch (I know what amuse bouche is, I’m making a yoke, yes a yoke), and got a free watch. I chose the clear strap one, since I knew I’d get the white one dirty just by looking at it. Also, nice canapes. MTV, Swatch, Rankin – I was impressed. It doesn’t take much to make a party great, but it also doesn’t take much to have a party that sucks (which wasn’t the case).
As well as designing three watches with Swatch, Rankin is also a guest editor at the Swatch MTV Playground. Where do you get the time Ranks??
I didn’t get the humour of his picture with the watches, but I keep seeing it now in magazines and papers and sniggering.
TEEHEE
Rankin chose to use the images from his ‘Eyescapes’ collection, as he says, and I quote:
I am constantly saying to my subjects, ‘smile with your eyes!’
As long he doesn’t start saying smize, we’re ok. We’re ok. He told me to stop crying, but I guess that’s because smiling crying eyes would be rather frightening.
Smizing scares the bejesus out of me, anyway.
Keep yer eyes peeled for part 2 with Rankin as guest editor!
The Vintage Style Doctor is in the House: The shortlist has been announced
I feel like I’ve been spitting bars or something, unintentionally. I met the Vintage Style Doctor, and I had to introduce myself to him as “This is the Bang.” And I did my little shooting motion too. He looked bemused.
Remember a post I wrote not so long How To Tell The Fella in Your Life That He Dresses Like a Bozo (Indirectly Of Course) (and indirectly offended quite a few fellows. When I say few…I mean two.)
The Doctor has spoken, and chosen his four-in-dire-need-of-his-stylistic interventions. You, dear reader, can vote on which one you think will benefit most from the Doctor’s diagnosis and subsequent treatment, and follow up check ups. Hop on over to the Rokit Vintage Facebook Page and vote for your favourite (or least favourite) to win, by clicking the Like button.
Voting closes in a week, however I don’t know when the week started for this…. so, er, look lively and vote now!
It’s like the NHS, but a lottery… so just like the NHS then.
(I love the NHS, don’t hate.)
Bey, that’s not how you cook a steak
You have to wait for the coals to burn down to white first. However you can use some of the foil from your Gareth Pugh ensemble to make a drip tray.
