^I remember reading a couple of posts where she talked about her sisters, and it seemed quite sweet. Haven’t seen the youtube stuff, but I’m willing to accept that she’s not got much by way of style besides looking like a WAG c. 2006. (with a penchant for skulls, ha!)

What M said.

And… Chiara/The Salad not vapid? Evidence is on YouTube.

TV host: Why did you like McQueen?
C: Because he uses a lot of dark colours, and skulls… I love skulls.

Another TV host (a few days ago at MTV Italy): What do you like about my outfit?
C: I like your necklace. And your top with skulls, I love skulls.

She’s ALWAYS like that… some fashion expert 😛

^right on. Do people have collective amnesia about the existence of FRUiTS magazine, Bill Cunningham or even the streetstyle (actual boys and girls, not “fashion” ones) pages in so many teen fashion mags? The Sartorialist’s blog is hardly the place I want to look anymore, if I’m looking for original style or even inspiration.

The Sartorialist is a complete poser who has basically made a living out of….taking pictures and putting them on a blog..wow revolutionary! I also note that most of the people he takes photos of are not your run of the mill person in the street like he is proclaiming. When he was in Sydney he knabbed people straight out of fashion week! Oh and don’t get me started on the way he goes up to pretty girls and offers them a chance to be his “assistant”. The guy is a tool.

Chiara Ferragni doesn’t go to just any law school She goes to the Bocconi in Milan, which is pretty much a disgustingly expensive school for lazy snobs and if you are loaded enough to go there you have a free pass to get your degree. Three cheers for meritocracy.

PS: Sister, don’t give up on streetstyle! I’m sure a few minutes spent listening to Bill Cunningham and his lovely old-fashioned accent declare things ‘marvellous’ on the streets of NY, will restore your faith (especially if you watch the slideshow he shot of fashion-y girls at fashion week taking off painful heels in the middle of the road to switch to flats). He- sorry to use an IM-ism- PWNS Napoleon Schuman, any day.

Caro- the Sart’s blog didn’t exist five years ago, and he and Garance met only after she began hers in 2006. No one would have thought anything of it if he hadn’t made several references to his wife (not ex-wife) and kids in posts, as late as 2008.

Whether he cheated on his wife or not is his wife’s business, and sure it’s good that he and Garance are into each other. But he does sound like a complete assole when interviewed, that much is undeniable- the Globe and Mail interview cited is actually the least annoying of the lot.

what i’ve always wondered are the people in streetstyle shoots being airbrushed? Everyone always has the most amazing skin!

To be fair to Chiara (if it’s the Blonde Salad girl being spoken of up there by Lily), she doesn’t seem quite as vapid as the other trustafarians Scott shoots. I’m not fond of her outfits, but as long as she is, that’s fine. And I do admire the fact that she took a rather unusual career trajectory for an ex-model- becoming a law student! (from a fellow law student, much respect for that)

I was wondering when someone would pull up this week’s Garance quote. I shake my head in embarrassment for her. Surely some of it’s taken out of context but I’m saddened that she thinks plus size models are not flattering to fashion. Sadly that’s a false idea that’s been pushed down our throats for too long.
