If you were wondering why Nicolas Ghesquière was trending on Twitter yesterday and you’re unsure of who he is, this might explain. It was announced yesterday morning that Balenciaga has parted ways with long time Creative Director, Nicolas Ghesquière and because I like to assume fashion people make up for a majority of Twitter users, this is why Nicolas was trending.
Now that Spring ’13 is upon us (a month away to be exact), that means stores are finally getting in the Fall ’12 merchandise (see how fashion makes sense) and the new ad campaigns are out for all to judge. As always, there are some good ones and some that just confuse me, so to make things easy we’re just going to do this superlative style.
Worst hair: Chanel. I know it’s Chanel but come on…it looks like Edward Scissorhands went to town on this poor girl.
I’ve never been a big reader but I absolutely love fashion books (probably because they’re mostly made up of large, visually appealing images). I’ve been collecting them for the last few years but there’s always more to add to my wishlist. I compiled some that I already own along with a few that are currently on my mind, but regardless…there’s a fashion book for everyone and these books would make any fashion enthusiast quite the happy camper this holiday season.
Fashion for beginners: The Little Dictionary of Fashion
For those who don’t mind a little bit of nudity: Kate Moss by Mario Testino
A lot of pretty pictures: Harper’s Bazaar Greatest Hits
**I just bought this over the weekend and met Glenda Bailey herself…such an inspirational woman! This book is awesome.
Top of the list (Carine can do no wrong): Carine Roitfelt Irreverent
Fashion foodies rejoice: American Fashion Cookbook
