Can Selfridges put "exclusive" in a few more places, just so we are clear?

I'll bet my Crust Bauhaus that all the exclusive stuff will look very very familiar.

i hope it's not orphaned model drawings...

[mrbeuys]

They're not messing around, that's for sure...

Wouldn't it be fabulous if it were made entirely of powdered sugar?

[Shucks]

They're not messing around, that's for sure..

[imblurredout]

It looks like he's wearing the Moody women's stretch ramone's....?

way to fragile to hold up that ego.

rider, you just took winner for best possible reply!

Still, there's something so delicious in imagining him leaning back into a 2-story mound of silken confectioner's sugar and just getting swallowed completely into his own underarm.

I think I've been baking too many pastries lately..

New article in Telegraph

Mostly daft, but a few things worth mentioning.

1) This layman's point of view only confirms that people perceive someone in RO or black as haughty or aloof or forbidding. This is sad.

2) LOVED THIS and could not agree more.


"Another thing that "kind of bugs" him is when designers "send these models out wearing these concoctions, and then they come out [after the show] in jeans and a sweatshirt. It makes me crazy, because you are sending out this message that you don't believe in what you're saying.""

The nipple comments were a personal favorite.

found this to be another boring, cookiecutter article on rick. the only new thing was his try to buy an island, which strikes me as the logical next progression from his Paris home.

while i agree too, this isn't a new sentiment, isn't it? he has been saying this in many interviews, if i'm not mistaken.

"It was supposed to be something that was very much about tolerance, about embracing everybody," he says, when we meet a few hours after the statue-viewing, "but we've created this thing that has a wall that kind of eliminates a lot of people, and I regret that a little bit . . . It's been said before that most people take my clothes more seriously than I do."

I wonder what he means by that, or rather whether he means what I think he means by it. The people I've talked to either in person or online wearing Rick didn't seem walled off, at least not any more than the average person. But then they weren't the sneaker status type.
