Chatting with Simon Spurr
As seen on SF Unzipped… Earlier this month, menswear designer and recent inductee to the Council of Fashion Designers of America Simon Spurr showcased his Spring/Summer 2011 collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, but the Brit designer recently swung through San Francisco to showcase his Fall/Winter 2011 in the intimate setting known as the top designer...
Dior goes retro and raunchy
The Paris Couture fashion shows are a virtual eyegasm of clothing. It’s fashion at its best. It takes clothing to a whole different level with conceptual ideas, fine fashion design and garments that we probably will never ever see on a normal human being. Today, in the office, my colleagues and I took a gander...
American Idol fashion is fun
So the other night, I did a little critique on American Idol style… When Simon called Danny Gokey’s jacket appropriate for a polar expedition, I couldn’t agree more: It looks like a safari/straight jacket/lab Frankenstein of a jacket and it is not flattering at all. Good thing his version of “Jesus Take the Wheel” was...

Old news: Macy’s Passport
A couple of weeks ago, I went to Macy’s Passport in San Francisco and I took Steve and Charles as my plus two. There was lots of food and I didn’t get hit on once. However, Charles and Steve did. I mean, why didn’t I get hit on? I am an angel. I am ethereal....

Beverly Hills, 90210 Analysis: Part 1
Many of you may already know that I have this current obsession with 90210. Maybe it’s because the spin-off is coming out soon. I know for damn sure that it won’t live up to the original, so for the next couple of weeks (or until I finish the first season), I’m going to do an...

Project Runway quote of the week
Bravo Photo: Virginia Sherwood I think shiny, tight and short is the quickest way to look cheap. - said by Nina Garcia in regards to Wesley’s garment
Are you looking at my crotch?
As I reflect on my transition into the freelance world (translation: when I got laid off as a staff writer from the paper), I am reminiscing about the moment when my boss told me I when I was on dreaded “list.” Now that time has passed, I think I can talk about it openly. I...

Things get SMOKEY with Nick Verreos
On Thursday, I attended the Third Annual Gala for Dress for Success in San Francisco. I went with my friend and AAU colleague Cheryl and we just basically gorged ourselves with all the free food. But yes, I did some work. I interviewed Project Runway alum, Nick Verreos! He was unbelievably nice, funny and very...

Did I mention that I met David Beckham?
So a couple of weeks ago, I met the soft-spoken soccer (also known in the international world as “football”) Brit at the unveiling of his new Emporio Armani underwear ad in Union Square in San Francisco. He didn’t say much when he was on stage. Honestly, I think he didn’t need to because swarms of...

Varvatos and me
The new John Varvatos store opened in SF recently and I was privileged enough to go to the grand opening party – and to meet Mr. Varvatos himself. As one of my favorite menswear designers, I was totally excited to chat with him. I was hoping that he would say, “Hey Dino, you want a...
