Fashion Victims

Fashion :: Deviance :: Film :: Comedy :: Review :: DVD Review 22 Aug 2008

Lindsay West: Despite its vague billing as a risque German 'gay interest' comedy, Fashion Victims is in truth a far straighter affair than the rainbow titles and sartorial subtext might first imply. Looking more like a mortgage advisor than a fashion rep, Wolfgang (...

Gloss: The Director's Cut

Fashion :: Film :: Review 14 Jul 2008

Lindsay West: Billed as somewhere in the ballpark of a Russian Federate Ugly Betty - a Slavic cousin, perhaps, of The Devil Wears Prada - Gloss: The Directors' Cut was supposed to be a concession to the fashion-conscious art cinema type. A chance, it appeared, to mu...

We Like Your Style: Cate Blanchett in I'm Not There

Fashion :: Feature 19 May 2008

Beth Malone : Even with a sock down her pants and a swagger in her pelvis-led step, the ass gives Cate Blanchett away. It’s still a lady bum: even constricted in slim black plants, it remains unmistakably pert. I’m Not There director Todd Haynes purposel...

Buy one thing

Fashion :: Feature 01 Apr 2008

Lindsay West: Utterly confusing the shoe/boots ('shoots') issue by paring back the Oxford to its skeleton (so, skoots?), these Topshop beauties are a nude-coloured treat that will instantly spring/summer up your wardrobe. The lace-up detail not only brings the prett...

Just one more thing...

Fashion 01 Apr 2008

Lindsay West: Yes, we probably will break our necks. But believe me, those countless months in traction and that touch-and-go possibility of permanent paralysis will be more than worth it for the blissful hours spent working these babies. Not only are they the coule...

Totally Postal

Fashion :: Feature 01 Apr 2008

Lindsay West: Fashion is a terrain awash with Moss overgrowth, but since Kate has become a little too ubiquitous, there's more than enough room to cultivate a new species. Frontwoman of band-you-should-know-about The Duke Spirit, Leila Moss makes the list as both an...
