Like most red blooded American females, I worship at the altar of Zoe,
begrudgingly so but I can¹t help it. Yes she is buh-nanas and overexposed
but I like her style. I really do. Her girls always look beautiful and I dig
her glam rock chick Anita Pallenberg vibe- she owns it. As I downed some
squash soup in front of the tube last night, I watched her dress the usual
suspects for the Globes (Garner, Diaz). My thoughts went to Alexander Wang,
who should have an evening moment. And a great moment it would be.
hobo with the studs on the bottom (I ain't mad at it either), and I find his
tee shirt dresses sexy without being slutty. And they're tough. I like
tough. A lot. I go for an outfit that looks cool no matter where you are- lunch date,
gallery opening, airport globetrotting. The common thread is infinite
cool/hot/rock chick to the 10th power. Wang's collections are sexy and femme
but you could still kick an ass wearing any of his stuff, and that's what
matters in the end. You simply can¹t defend yourself in De La Renta. I beg
you to try.
I'm thinking he needs to do some one off/bespoke dresses for evening- would
love to see a major couture moment is what for a select group of lucky
ladies who are not so into the fussy thing- you know the type- throw on an
evening gown with a head full of bed and just ALLEZ. I nominate, in no
particular order, the following girls to wear said dresses:
Cameron Diaz
Dree Hemingway
Grace Coddington
Julia Restoin Roitfeld
Angie Jolie
Kristin Cavallari
Jessica Stam
Sienna Miller
Theodora Richards
Leigh Lezark
Kristin McMenamy
Patti Hanson
Ellen Barkin
Betty White (just kidding- sort of) Done and done. I'm envisioning long and black with some twisted up fabric,
knotted in all the good spots, maybe some satin and some leather or some
thick jersey. Maybe there are some cut outs on the sides. Or ooh- maybe a
tux a la YSL smoking but more Joey Ramone. I die. If I was going to an awards show, I'd love to rock it OUT in some Wang. If
that didn't work out, there's always Lanvin. Or the great Prabal Gurung, who
is having a severely amazing full on fashion revelation. I just died again. C'est tout. And that¹s what¹s up this deadly fashion Thursday in the MIA.
Rock and roll will never die. I hope Alex answers my prayers with some
evening wear for the in crowd. XO
