Today a colleague gave me the onceover and said I was dressed “like Michael Jackson in the Matrix.” This is what happens when you wear black shirt, pants, shoes, and long coat, with white socks. Ha! At least my socks match today.
Let’s visit the more fashionable, shall we.
Critical Shopper has a review of the new Armani flagship (more like battleship for the size of it) in Manhattan. Check this out:
[Armani] has built a variation of [the Frank Lloyd Wright stairs at the Guggenheim] inside his store that quite possibly improves on the original. The Guggenheim resembles a collapsible camping cup; the Armani staircase looks like a Slinky made by unfurling a giant spiral-cut endive. It’s wild, organic and throbbing, a veritable turbine generating the store’s giddy atmosphere.
My goodness, a spiral-cut endive? And we wonder why people claim New York City is a symptom of the yuppocalypse.
A Suitable Wardrobe linked to Stowers Bespoke in a recent post, leading me to discover my new favorite woman’s ensemble, ever, seriously. If you’d ever told me I’d fall in love with a pink tweed three-piece suit, well, I wouldn’t have eaten my hat but you may have eaten my tomboy fist. But as I told Marty earlier, I’m loving the three-piece suit lately.
And for those of you who want to and can walk in stilettos: Watch out, they’re about to get even higher.
