Post a Totally Random Moment From Fashion History...

^ Courtney wearing Galliano though is also a fabulous look in itself!

Susie Lau, Tavi Gevinson, Bryan Yambao.
Susie Bubble, Style Rookie, Bryan Boy.

All three were the centre of attention at that... time, now all three seem like the cringiest, and with the fashion taste stuck in late 2000s...

Do I have to say more lol? I'm still shocked as to why she fell, the outfit was comfortable the shoes weren't that big. She has walked far more difficult shoes on far worse shoes.

Donatella for Givenchy was kinda cool.

I wish you would do an advertisement of our own just advertising herself and Versace would be great this was fantastic

Yikes !!!! I guess she rejected all of Ann Wintour advice. We are officially in the times before Marie Antoinette was put under the guillotine. She's not even Marie Antoinette she's Madame du Barry

"NU was the first Yves Saint Laurent fragrance launched under the creative direction of Tom Ford. The press release stated: “Tom Ford seeks the woman in her naked truth. And finds it in the scent of flesh and wraps it in a sober metal star. An androgynous fragrance with incense, woody and spicy notes”

Yves Saint Laurent NU is about control and contrast: dark spices, prickly black pepper, deep woods, counterbalanced by a bright cardamom

I first saw this in Vogue UK and it's interesting that it's not a popular Tom campaign, but at the time it was probably seen as pretty pictures. Now it would probably be a mini scandal.

If you knew how long it took me to figure out who that was…

There are a lot of goodies in the Andy Warhol Diaries, but these two entries specifically seem relevant for this thread. Personally, I've always loved the part about John McKendry (Loulou's stepfather) realizing that the aristocracy was just as dumb as everybody else and being crushed by it: "There was nothing left for him to live for."

One more thing (sorry for being the "random fashion moment" troll).

I was looking at old issues of Spy magazine on Google Books not too long ago (you know, Graydon Carter before Vanity Fair) and it was kind of funny. I came across a feature they had where they pretended to be a "Hungarian royal" and offered different celebrities huge amounts of money (to see who'd accept!), naturally, Karl was contacted:

It was a flop. But really, Tom Ford and Thomas Lenthal created magic at YSL.

The first campaign for Nu was beautiful but weird. This is the campaign for the EDT and it came after the nude M7 campaign, the nude of Opium and the nude of NU.
Nu was just too much. The release party of the fragrance was something else with people with nude underwear on top of each other.
The expression of sexuality was maybe too obvious for YSL.
The same year, they did the campaigns for Rive Gauche pour Homme and Rive Gauche which were more sensual and they evolved to a less sexually charged imagery (The cinema campaign was nothing sexual at all for example).
