Note To Self: If You Burn A Birkin Bag, You Will Receive Death Threats

While the rest of us long for the day that we can drop several thousand dollars ($100,000 to be accurate) on an Hermès Birkin bag, Clint Eastwood‘s daughter thought it appropriate to light one on fire. Classy, right? More »

If Your Favorite Designer Started Making Food Would You Fork Over The Cash To Eat It?

Karl Lagerfeld who, once upon a time was a chubby, grumpy guy with a fan in front of his face at all times, once said after he became a thin, grumpy guy without a fan in front of his face at all times that “Fashion is the healthiest motivation to lose weight.” More »

Illustrated Guide: What Your Favorite Designer Label Says About You

Here at TheGloss, we love making pointless generalizations about people based on arbitrary preference like their handbags and nail shapes. What you may not know is that there is a hard science behind this. Trust us. In this week’s Illustrated Guide, we’re focusing on fashion: what your favorite designer label says about you (and your soul, etc). Now, a quick clarifying point before we go any further: we don’t mean ladies who know Alessandra Facchinetti from Frida Giannini; we mean those who approach fashion in terms of logos, labels and status. For example, once we met a girl who said Alexander McQueen was her favorite designer and–delighted–we asked why. She said, “He’s just really fresh and fun.” That about sums it up. Let’s begin.

Illustrated Guide: What Your Stupid Designer Handbag Says About You

You know that obnoxious “Stars: They’re Just Like Us!” page of every celebrity weekly? We saw one the other day that featured Kelly Rutherford from Gossip Girl, and she was pumping gas or feeding the meter or some shit under that very headline… only she was toting a $10,000 Hermès Birkin. Now, we can think of at least one way Rutherford isn’t just like us: we’re not stupid enough to spend $10k on a goddamn status billboard that carries tampons*. Look, we work in fashion, we see frivolity and conspicuous consumption everyday… and now we’re making fun of it! With crude drawings! Here are some assumptions we make about ladies with specific designer purses–YSL, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Alexander Wang and more ahead. More »
