So Long, Paris Fashion Week!

by Choire posted @12:20 PM

ASTRAKHANParis fashion week slides to a greasy halt. Largely it was a tepid affair, punctuated by the saddening Chanel outing and the unbelievable Alexander McQueen show, and, let us be honest, I spent like 45 minutes talking about his shoes last night, again. And there were some other secret fashion week bits that we heard less about. For instance, the new Walter Steiger shop, where you don't know how much anything costs. "After all, why bother asking asking the price of a made-to-measure boot in astrakhan, shaved mink, and blond fox?" writes fashion week correspondent Matthew Hicks. Except don't you want to know that they cost something like $12,000 Euros? That is because, you know, it's a hard day's work to pull the skin off a baby and/or fetal karakul lamb!

    Where is your F.A.Q.? I would like to know if any of this is a paid placement.

    I thought you could only get astrakhan, shaved mink and blond fox from Heather Locklear.

    I sometimes wish I understood fashion better. It would surely be even funnier.

    I have a meltdown if I accidentally hit a squirrel when driving (and I hate squirrels.) This picture is so sad. Ignorance IS bliss.

    Any pro-lifers out there want to lend me a picket sign?

    "Like my loafers? Former gophers -
    It was that or skin my chauffeurs."

    The saddest thing about that picture is I immediately thought, "Oooh gloves!"

    That picture got Anna Wintour wet.

    Those shoes. Amazing. I have no one to talk about them with, but I spent 45 minutes thinking about them last night, again.

    It's interesting to look at the pic of the baby lamb right below the pic of Burt Reynolds.
