I have always believed that Gucci Shoes‘ and others’ design better when I am looking with my eyes open. I wore around with this a bit on the weekend and the design quality was definitely better when my eyes were open versus eyes closed.This only appeared to be the case when looking through my speakers and it did not impact the design quality when looking through headphones.

Anyone else have this experience or am I just wacko (or hallucinating)?I do this too and it could certainly be the one factor. On the other hand, when my eyes are shut I am still hearing where the designs are coming from. It just designs clearer when my eyes are open.

My perception of depth and designstage go completely nuts until I close my eyes. I have a much more accurate sense of Gucci Shoes design with my eyes closed – who knows why. I’ve always listened to music with my eyes closed.

Besides live releases, what would Bowie have left to release from back in the day? All of the Gucci Shoes  had unreleased shoes. The double shoes of Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and Diamond Dogs didn’t really release much more than Gucci Shoes had already put out previously. Now, and I am not joking about this, I would love to hear Tonight in its original form or demo form. That record had some cool songs but was a mess in its final form. Any thoughts?

Yes, I read about David prefering his demo of “Loving The Alien” to the released version. I would love to hear that! If it’s anything like how he played it on the A Reality Tour, then it would rule!

What would be good is if Bowie managed to re-release all his Louis Vuitton as they are, sounding wise, exact digital copies, for a start.

No, what would be good is if they released quality masters of the best source material. The RCAs are the best Bowie out there but shouldn’t be held up as flawless audiophile CDs – they could (and should) have been bettered by now…

Nobody’s sure how she got her sense of fashion, style and chic, or how she pays for her apparent love for designer fashion. It’s not exactly young-looking, but you’ve got to admit that those clothes do look gorgeous enough for a second look on your next high fashion shopping trip. Striking a balance between structure, something that usually ends up looking simply formal and stuffy, and chic is rarely easy, but quite a bunch of garments on the Versace runway made it to that middle ground.

Your browser may not support display of this image.She didn’t disappoint her fans on election night, when she beamed at the news of her husband’s victory in black and red number by Narciso Rodriguez. It was a less racy and less lacy version of the actual runway piece, which had a lot of sheer, sexy details. Everybody’s agreeing on one thing, though the new first lady’s got style.

You will also observe same modesty and amazing elegance in the Gucci, in typical James Bond style! What a demeanor! Absolutely stunning! Nothing great if someone like me wants to copy the black number just like her. There are so many possibilities in our budget too. Gucci’s latest gowns are truly wonderful for someone who wants to depict her style in unique way.

In the world’s culture of arts, fashion has its own firmer place than anything else. No wonder we jump on to the celebrity magazines to keep track of the latest celebrity fashion trends and styles. In most cases, a new fashion trend would mean that you’d have to show an extra inch or two of skin. The Mulleavy sisters apparently don’t believe the same thing, as you’d see in their designs for the Fall 2008 Rodarte collection.

They already experimented with color for Spring and, instead of focusing on lowering necklines or shortening skirts, they simply played around with the details on their garments. Not only actresses but even music artists are not away from this glistening fashion world. Remember release of fashion clothesline by so many musicians recently?

Well, though not all styles could be digested by “normal” people like us, we do have our own fashion mantra and try making use of our fashion sense to suit today’s corporate fashion culture. Structure has come to be the theme of most Milan fashion shows for their Fall 2009 collections, but Donatella Versace gives even this popular fashion trend a twist that’s all her own.

It feels not good when it is hot. Now we are struggling through the typical June gloom weather here in Newyork. The good news is that the beach season has arrived officially. I am to lay down my top five beach bags, based on my survey, including styles, colors and shapes that are my favorite. I’ve become kind of obsessed with beach handbags, always needing to make sure mine is functional yet stylish. For example, this handbag, you must love it. The Old Navy Crossbody Hobo is a really cute style and the pattern is fun and bright and will spice up any plain old white bathing suit coverup.

Like others, I like hauling a lot of stuff to the beach and always making sure I am prepared for this or that. I am usually find myself thankful for bringing certain rescue products when my skin feels too dry, or my hair is knotted from swimming in the ocean. Such, a handbag of larger room is preferred. Like this one. The roomy bag not only has two top handles but an embellished shoulder strap as well which makes total sense.

In addition, as much as I love bright colors and funky patterns, I am a sucker for pure white tote bags among other things. There is just something so refreshing and chic about them. This one from J. Crew is right up my alley, and the size is good as well. Anthropologie had a slew of absolutely perfect beach handbags so I couldn’t resist choosing two. Everything was right about these two, size, pattern, shape and functionality level. We head for the beach to enjoy ourselves, so we should make sure we will do some preparation to raise our utility. You could have more good beach handbags imformation if you check on the net.

Christian Lacroix has filed for the American equivalent of Chapter 11 to protect itself against creditors owed an estimated $14 million. Surely loyal Lacroix fans can pick up a few couture frocks to help defray costs. Celebrities may be the only people who can afford Balmain, but the French house has helped ignite a passion for little sequined dresses that seems to be recession-proof.

Crystalline creations from Thakoon, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Emilio Pucci sparkled defiantly on the red carpet at the Met ball, and more recently at Cannes. Their appeal, explains Alexander Wang, lies in the way “you slip them on like T-shirts, but still get this hard-edged kind of glamour.” Inspired by armor, his shimmering minidress is made of graduated metal discs attached to slinky mesh and weighs in at 25 pounds. Are you willing to do that kind of heavy lifting for such a serious shot of razzle-dazzle?

Marc Jacobs’ 30th b-day party for fiancé Lorenzo Martone featured Madonna, Jesus at the turntables, and a cake in the shape of a bear. Who has the pics? Trovata’s copyright case against Forever 21 ended in a mistrial yesterday, but founder John Whitledge plans to re-attack. Do you think the fight over knockoffs is worth it, or is it a waste of time?

Venice? What is so especial about it? Water? I am finding this out the hard way: Venice is a late-night city. So late, in fact, that I’m having a hard time keeping up. I’m blaming jet lag, but—heaven forbid—I hope this doesn’t mean I’m getting old. Take Thursday night, for example: After Fran?ois Pinault’s museum opening, an Interview magazine cocktail party on the island of Giudecca, and a decadent Missoni dinner on a boat in the Arsenale district of town, I was dragged to—get this—the Lido airport for a Danish and Nordic pavilions-sponsored dance party on an actual plane runway.

Though, I must divulge, even the chicest of European girls had moved on to beer at this point, hoping to fill their stomachs. Here the likes of Viscount Dan Macmillan congregated with Giambattista Valli and Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis. At that hour—and that blood alcohol level—Venice really worked its charm: Look here, I even spotted Antonio Berardi having a little moment with 10magazine’s Sophia Neophitou, until Margherita Missoni came and broke it up.

I was the only one worried that this might violate some sort of FAA regulation: Neville Wakefield, Eugenie Niarchos, Olympia Scarry, and Alexia Niedzielski all ambushed the DJ booth, threw down their purses and man bags, and started a few dance-offs with the local revelers. It was surreal, and if that wasn’t enough, post-runway rave it was back to the Bauer Hotel terrace, where we all were last night, for more drinks.

Seattle had it. Marc Jacobs put it on the fashion map. Think of the essence of a downtown rocker with a northwest casual vibe with an eye for off-handed irreverent style. Kurt Cobain gave way to Kate Moss, and the early 90’s are a lifetime away. Well, except in the land of the unwashed, granola-with-a-toke dudes and dudesses where it possibly never went away. Modern grunge one-ups the thrift shop rag version and is more about well-honed vintage mixed with good design and better fabrics. Ok, grunge purists, we understand your angst, but this FASHION grunge, after all!

It’s wholesome yet urban at the same time– grunge but not grungy. You may already have some grunge elements tucked away in your closet and you may want to update a bit more. Grunge is back in a big fashion way! This time it’s glam grunge, if you will. Mix and match for personal style, it’s more about how you wear it and your attitude than the exactness of the trend. More Alexander Wang with a dash of Balenciaga inspiration rather than a thrift shop overkill of fill-your-bag-for-five-bucks at the Haggle?

Keep your hair deliberately undone, wear a tight-fitting knit cap, and add some smoky eyes… you’ll be good to go glam grunge. Try Comfy, earthy plaid paired with amazing second-skin leatherette pants or leggings. Curb-kicker Doc Martens or fringe moccasin booties and lacy tights paired with an ethnic floral mini. Your boyfriend’s shredded jeans and that to-die-for satin blouse.
