There I was thinking I'm a weirdo for loving Sally Singer, Aliona Doletskaya and Carine Roitfeld. But this, this my dear readers is something else. Ladies and gentlegays, meet Kate.

Watch The September Issue Online [full-length video]

Watch The September Issue Online

For those of you unlucky ones who haven't seen RJ Cutler's smashing "The September Issue" documentary, boy, consider it your lucky day. Watch the full-length video below.

[Update - 11/03/2009: Due to a copyright claim by Actual Reality Pictures, producers of The September Issue, I am removing the Youku.com (where it's hosted) video player on my site. You may, instead, buy the September Issue DVD HERE.]

It's an hour and twenty something minutes long so grab some popcorn and a drink. Or a bag of raisins and some mineral water.

As always, I have one thing to say. You're welcome.

Peter Som Spring Summer 2010

Peter Som Spring Summer 2010

Peter Som, surprisingly, is one of my favourite collections in New York. I've been to a few presentations at Milk Studios during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and I really enjoyed his. It was a beautiful presentation with the models interacting, some even smiling, when you point your camera to them. And the clothes? There's the element of fun and youth to them and the looks were very, very well-put together. I thought the styling itself was inspirational. Spectacular! These are easy to wear, well-made garments in some of the most amazing fabrics. I wanted to touch them. Also, some of the sweaters were to die for -- you know me, I have a MAJOR weakness for anything striped! There's a quirky feel to the looks, yes, however, one thing thing remain distinct: the finishing was so exquisite it gave the whole collection a sophisticated polish.

Don't even get me started with some of the accessories. I, along with several people I met throughout the presentation were swooning with the gorgeous necklaces and bracelets.

Anna Wintour on CBS 60 Minutes Video Watch Online

Anna Wintour on 60 Minutes Video

My love for Anna Wintour was reinforced, thanks to her feature on last night's 60 Minutes. I would love to embed the video but CBS has a bloody problem with autoplay. I tried to modify the code by disabling it but it didn't work for some strange reason.

There are two things I dislike about this feature. First, I don't like how Morley somewhat made a mockery out of the characters in fashion. Was it REALLY necessary to point out the outsider's view of the fashion world? I found it so offensive how he used terms such as "part rocky horror show" (cue Gareth Pugh), "clothes fit for a cadaver" and "campy followers" (cue the iconic Anna Piaggi). It's funny alright but I don't think he's doing the industry a favour by mocking them. I'm sure he could do a better job making the American public understand what the industry is about: to inspire, to dress outside your comfort zone, to think outside the box, to express ourselves creatively...

Second -- I find it so tedious that the media ALWAYS, ALWAYS references The Devil Wears Prada when doing something on Anna. So a former Vogue staffer wrote a book based on her experiences and the movie became a hit, yes. But any Editor, or boss for that matter, could be as (or even be MORE) demanding or hardcore as the character portrayed. Can't Anna get a reprieve for a change?

Anyway, I think I'm alone in saying this but I really do have this voice at the back of my head that says Anna is truly a nice person. She may look tough on the outside (as part of her job) but in reality, I'm sure she's a real softie. Again, maybe it's just me. What do y'all think?
