Manolo’s Shoe Blog

Manolo says, the Kathleen at the Fashion Incubator she has posted several lengthy and quite impressive pieces connected with the latest Carnivale of the Couture. If you are at all interested in the creative process and how the aspect of technical complexity figures into the production of the pieces of fashion, you must go now to her site and scroll down to read all of these interesting items.

P.S. Because of the Manolo’s very busy schedule of travelling the Manolo has decided to temporarily put the Carnivale of the Couture on the hiatus, until the first week of the September. (Although, if the volunteer would like to relieve the Manolo of this duty during this period…)

Manolo shouts, Galliano!!!!!

P.S. Of the course, in the absense of the Manolo, the Izzy had already made the hilarious comment.

Manolo says, ayyyyyyyyyy! The Manolo’s internet friend the Verbal Croquis (also known as the Zoe Hong), she is now officially on the way to becoming the hot young designer, for she has just won the Perrier Bubbling Under Gen Arts competition!

Manolo says, behold, scenes from the carpet of red at the opening of latest show of Museum of Metropolitan Art’s Costume Institute.

Galliano! With the Charlize! And the blondy shaggy poodle doo!

Apparently, in many states the beastility is not illegal.

Darth Talley and his evil consort

Il maestro di tutti maestri.

Manolo says, no, this pair they are not, as you may suspect, the King and Queen of the Trek Expo 2005.

In the stead, they are the Kiwi fashion designers, who with this picture are proving some of the theories the Manolo maintains about those who make the fashion.

Here is the Manolo talking about the Project Runway designers.

Indeed, many designers they will simply give up and dress themselves in all black all of the time, thinking that non-color will deflect from them the criticisms of their poor fashion choices.

[…]

So the making over of the designers, it is something the Manolo has longed to do, to transform them from the random shambling heaps of hair balls and cleaning rags, into something more like sentient beings.

In the best of cases this it would not be the easiest of the tasks as the designers of the Project Runway, they are not the handsome peoples.This it is not the handicap in the world of fashion, as it is also true that many of the famous fashion designers, they too are ugly.

The Manolo, he theorizes that this it is because the ugly they are naturally drawn to the beauty.

Yes, one does not wish to be overly cruel to those who are not beautiful, especially as the Manolo himself is not the prize sow at the state fair, however he cannot but notice that these things are often true.

Manolo says, here is the beautiful and understated strappy gold sandal from the Vera Wang, and look, It is on the sale! 65% off of the usual price, the savings of over $250 of the American dollars!

Manolo says, if you are in the Manhattan, and if you have the opportunity you must do as the Manolo has done and stroll down the 7th Avenue to the showing of the magnificent couture of the mid-century French designer the Lucien Lelong at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

This museum show of the historical couture of beauty and refinement, it is the show which will both entertain and edify those who have the interest in such things.

Ayyyyyyy! Torch Burn!

P.S. Too Much Bronzer!

Manolo says, And now do you like my hat?
