I'll eat your liver and still look fabulous.

Jean Paul Gaultier's latest ads are very intriguing... His recent couture collection uses influences from colonial times, and these ads are utilizing Maori face tattoos. In the mid 1800s, the Maori people in what is now called New Zealand were colonized by the british. The British were fascinated by the cannibalistic rituals of the Maori warrior... and taking note of the popularity of the Hannibal Lecter films, the rest of the western world still is as well.

"We now live in a world where those we once called exotic live among us, defining their own identities, precluding our ability to define ourselves in opposition to "others" and to represent our own culture as universal." source

Top off your wizardly wardrobe with this asymmetrically cut coat from Vivienne Westwood or a landscape embroidered cape from Alexander McQueen!

Lace it UP!

Lace up short boots are the new IT shoe. There are tons of choices for autumn from just about every single designer in varying degrees of flashiness. A solid but sleek, never chunky heels will give support and comfort, at least much more than the ice pick stillettos of yesteryear. Manolo is officially my enemy, after purchasing many pair of his shoes... I regret it. They hurt. These new styles are my saving grace for work and play. Why worry about snapping the heel or getting it stuck in a gutter? OVER THAT!
