The Forbidden Dance Fever

Manolo says, Ayyyyy! The Halle Berry she has the lambada mania! The first manifestation, it is the provocative shimmy-shaking… …Followed by the blatantly sexualized self groping… …And finally, the victim forbidden-dances with the lavender man-rat. P.S. Hallewood!

The Fashion Sinkhole

Manolo says, this story it is not the surprise to the Manolo. If any discipline at the Winter Olympics had the potential to provide a platform from which to showcase the marriage of high style and high function, it would seem to be figure skating. Yet the glossy ice pond in Turin is a fashion sinkhole, as even the occupationally chirpy talking heads are aware. “Figure skating can have some pretty frightening costumes,” Sandra Bezic, a skating commentator on NBC’s team at Turino, said Tuesday night. The problem is not the proliferation of “illusion” effects, in which parts are cut…

Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, the Manolo’s most recent column for the Express of the Washington Post it is now available for the downloading. Today, it is the shoes for the super fantastic scientist. Dear Manolo, I’m a scientist, and my work in the lab requires much standing and walking back and forth. When I was a grad student I wore sneakers, but now that there is a title next to my name, I’d like to wear something more elegant. Iva Manolo says, oddly, the Manolo he personally knows many of the brianiac scientists, and he would have to say that sartorially they…

Flats for the Springtime in Paris

Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has asked the Manolo the question. I am very excited, as I am about to make my first trip to Paris this spring ! I was wondering if you would recommend some flat shoes which would be comfortable for walking about for hours and hours and hours each day on the cobblestones, and yet still be smart enough not to disgrace me in the shoe salons of the fashion capital (where I plant to spend many an hour and a hard-earned dollar), and especially not in front of the undoubtedly chic Parisienne…

Project Runway 2, Week 10

Manolo says, so long to the Kara, you were most annoying, and not terribly talented, and usually your clothes they looked as if they’d been grabbed from the rag bag. Ah, Santino, Santino, how the Manolo would love to hear that you have met with the unfortunate machine gun accident at the toll booth. The Manolo cannot remember when he last saw this level of groundless, unjustifiable narcissism…oh, right. Never mind. Clearly you and your spangly wickety-wack are destined for the great things, perhaps designing workout clothes for Bobby Trendy to sell at the Wal-Mart. Once again, the Daniel V.…

The Magnificent Tim Gun

Manolo says, here is the wonderfully informative article on the Tim Gunn from the NJ.com. Gunn is not a judge, and he is not even a fashion designer, which is crucial to his success both on the show and at Parsons The New School For Design. “I don’t have a particular point of view about fashion other than quality, taste and style,” he said in a recent telephone interview. “I’m respectful of all of it. I look at it all unencumbered.” This, it is slightly disingenous, indeed it is self-contradictory. The particular point of the view of the Tim Gunn…
