Probing Question: Pajamas In Public Are Terrible, Right?

Probing Question: Pajamas In Public Are Terrible, Right?

Look, the obvious answer is, “No.” Don’t wear pajamas in public. Part of being an adult is putting on clothes. However, thanks to design houses like Louis Vuitton and (especially) Celine, pajamas have gone a little high fashion lately. Salma Hayek–who wears pretty much nothing but luxury labels now that she’s married to PPR CEO François-Henri Pinault–hurried though LAX wearing the above silk set.

We’ve been plugging our ears and covering our eyes for a little while, hoping this trend gets lost because the fashion industry has a way of getting you used to things that, rationally, you understand are stupid. Call us sartoial regressives (don’t actually; you’ll sound like a dick) but the only thing sillier than going out dressed for bed is spending thousands of dollars on silk pajamas. Check out a few examples and tell us if you’re swayed. More »

Illustrated Guide: What Your Stupid Designer Handbag Says About You

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 »

Gallery: Rachel McAdams' Best Red Carpet Looks

It’s Love/Hate week at TheGloss, in which we explore all the ways Valentine’s Day makes us feel… wonderful or the opposite of that. Our sponsor for the week is the upcoming romantic drama The Vow, starring Rachel McAdams as a woman who loses all memory of the past five years and Channing Tatum as the husband who needs to remind her. And, because this is a fashion site, we thought we’d take a little trip down memory lane for some of McAdams’ very best moments on the red carpet.

Arizona Muse Is The Face Of Louis Vuitton’s 2012 ‘Cruise’ Collection

Arizona Muse Is The Face Of Louis Vuitton's 2012 'Cruise' Collection

“Cruise” is kind of an obnoxious season for fashion in that it stretches the boundaries of willful suspension of disbelief, no? I mean, regular people might be able to fantasize about someday having enough money to buy Louis Vuitton clothing, but to buy Louis Vuitton clothing and go someplace warm each winter? Get out of town. The campaign for Louis Vuitton’s 2012 cruisewear line is, however, quite nice to look at, mainly because it stars Arizona Muse. The LV website even has some cute videos of Arizona gallivanting around Paris in her smart, flowy Louis Vuitton clothes, which is strange because it’s winter in Paris right now, but we’re already in pretty fantastical territory so I’ll let it slide.

Finally A New Fragrance From Louis Vuitton To Match The Rest Of The Louis Vuitton In Your Life

Finally A New Fragrance From Louis Vuitton To Match The Rest Of The Louis Vuitton In Your Life

Let’s say you’re sitting around staring at your Louis Vuitton luggage and you’re softly sobbing because you just wish you had an LV perfume to wear whenever you travel with your aforementioned bags. Seriously, it’s not as though it’s proper behavior for a jet-setter like yourself to wear Chanel No. 5 while you tote around your beloved Louis Vuitton luggage from country to country. What does that say about you? For one thing it makes those around you question your devotion to the LV brand, and no one wants that. Well, darling, your wish is about to be granted. More »
