Project Runway Season 6: Latest promo, kittens!

They've arrived, darlings! FINALLY!


We've been in touch with the folks at Lifetime and we have to say, you won't find a more dedicated and excited group of Project Runway fanatics (except here, of course). They are VERY PSYCHED about the upcoming season and you can expect to see a major push in the coming weeks with all kinds of cool perks and extras.

In the meantime, check out their latest promo.

And if you haven't visited the new Lifetime Project Runway site yet, now would be a good time to do so since you can sign up for the official Project Runway newsletter, join the official Project Runway community, and be first in line for all the upcoming videos and extras. Seriously, ladies. They gave us a glimpse of their upcoming promotional plans and there's going to be SO MUCH to play with.

In or Out: Beyonce

Beyonce Knowles arrives at the 2009 BET Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.




Our first thought: Oh good lord, honey.


Balmain Spring 2009 Collection
Model: Lara Stone









The dress isn't bad at all, in fact it's perfect for her in a lot of ways. The thing is (as if it needs to be pointed out) that is one SHORT frock. While we'd like to say, "Honey, nobody wants to see your underwear," we know that's not true and apparently, so does she.

It wouldn't be bad if she paired it with a big attention-getting pair of kick-ass shoes. When you've committed to exposing that much of the real estate, it can balance the look when you put something heavy on your feet that draws the eyes down, as in the runway pic. Instead she wore shoes that look like the inside of Jeannie's bottle. For that alone, she gets an OUT.

John Galliano Menswear Spring 2010 Collection

You want to see a show? We'll give you a goddamn show!

Check THIS, bitches:

"The theme was Napoleon's rise and rise, and—the Napster being a character whom Galliano effectively identifies with—the show's arc had a real cinematic drive. "

"Impressive indeed was the way that a sarong was actually the new Galliano shirt (his signature newsprint over-printed with flowers) knotted around a model's waist. Muslin-shrouded desert rats looked like wraiths in their sand-colored suits, but there were also denim jackets with cuffs crusted with embroidery."

"Napoleon's Sicily sojourn featured one more opportunity for someone to display Simon Nessman in briefs, this time with a gilded torso (do designers make a bathing suit specially for him?) followed by a finale that impressively re-created the Napoleon of Abel Gance's 1927 movie, and gave him the outerwear of the season—a romantic, floating, multilayered frock coat—to wear."

Now, THIS is what we're talking about. As Lorenzo almost-tearfully said, "This is why I love fashion." As always with Galliano, you have to separate the show from the clothes in order to really get a good look at the latter. Don't get us wrong, we love a good show and Galliano always delivers that, but when you strip away the amazing staging, there are some really gorgeous pieces in there. It practically goes without saying that we loved the bathing suits (and the accompanying painted-on abs), but we drool over the coats and jackets, many of which are breathtaking.
