Judging the Judges: Diane Von Furstenberg Spring 2008 Collection
Enough with all this Laura Bennett stuff (for now)! Let's get back to being judgmental (as if we ever left). Our Fairy Godmother showed her Spring 2008 collection and we have opinions.
Lorenzo likes this a little bit more than Tom does. Honeys, whether we like it or not, the seventies are back and we're all just going to have to ride this one out. No one likes a good Rhoda Morgenstern head scarf more than us, but even we are getting tired of seeing so many of them. This whole collection looks like the first 5 minutes of The Love Boat, when all the extras in the background boarded the ship in their late '70s attire while Carol Channing, Gabe Kaplan and Charo traded quips with Gavin MacLeod.
Those sherbet-y colors are definitely big this season and we welcome them after the last couple seasons of blacks, whites, and metallics. On the other hand, Diane honey, some colors would be better off if they're not seated next to each other. That pink, green and blue caftan in the first picture looks like what our grade school nuns in the '70s called "Eucharistic Banners." We would all be forced to make them in art class out of felt and glitter with cutout shapes of doves and candles and poorly etched phrases like "PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD" and "MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE" scribbled on them like ransom notes.
Oh! And another thing. Caftans? Really? Are we all going to have to watch a bunch of Mrs. Ropers wander the streets for the next couple of seasons? That, we can do without.
On the other, other hand, there are some beautiful prints in this collection and once you get away from the big, blousy caftans, some of those silhouettes are smart and flattering.
Take it all in and tell us what you think, darlings.

Diane Von Furstenberg Resort 2008 Collection
Darlings, we're back from our little vacation and we are tanned and well-rested. In a couple days we'll have some pics up from our weekend because, like so many things in our lives, it's PR-related. But first, we still have one more collection to rip: La Furstenberg's.
Cute. Everyone's doing that black/white thing and we have to say, it's already getting a little old.
Beautiful print on the left, kinda ugly one on the right.
The bikini and coverup are sassy but WHAT is that thing on the left?
We likee. We especially like the mustard yellow with the almost lilac gray.
Cute. Basic. Don't really like the silhouette on the right, though.
Yeah, still not liking it.
Like the dresses, hate the shoes.
Stand up straight, bitches!

CFDA 2007 Fashion Awards and the PR Connection
"In its effort to recognize the outstanding contributions made to American fashion by individual from all areas of the industry and related arts, the CFDA hosts the annual CFDA Fashion Awards. Awards are given for journalism, creative vision and lifetime achievement."
More here and here.
But enough of that. What about the clothes, darlings?
Heidi in Michael Kors (which sounds so dirty). Hmmm. Not so much. Actually, if it weren't for the got-my-sleeve-caught-in-the-limo-door look, this dress would be hot.
The Duchess with Debra Messing. He cleans up well, doesn't he?
She's also wearing Michael Kors and we have to say, she looks stunning. It's a gorgeous dress and the color looks beautiful on her. She's always held up as some sort of fashionista, but we think she's usually more miss than hit. This would be a hit.
Anyone else sick to death of those "Starter Wife" commercials, by the way?
La Nina. Fabulous.
If this dress were on anyone else, we'd be ripping it to shreds because, let's face it, she looks like a centerpiece at a baby shower. But this is Diane Von Furstenburg, bitches, and she can wear whatever the hell she damn well likes because she could wrap herself in toilet paper and still come off looking fabulous.
Lorenzo doesn't like Iman's dress, but this is another instance of someone so flippin' fabulous that she could pick her outfit out of the quarter bins at Goodwill and still wind up looking better than anyone else in the room.
David? You are looking tired, girl.
