BABY GIRL WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???

Kelis Before (circa 2006)



Kelis Now (present day)
Kelis, when you released "Wanderland" Back in 2006, you were at the top of your game. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? People forget you reinvented yourself first with the edgy short-cut. That you made it cool to wear high-waisted pants and be bossy. Now you walking around looking a fool and making a mockery of Alexander Mcqueen. I am highly disappointed. You could possibly be 2010's greatest fashion failure and the year has just begun. I pray that you redeem yourself and soon.

Oh and by the way, you need to fire whoever put you in that and immediately.

John Varvatos Fall/Winter 2010









The keyword attached to this collection is CLEAN. Even though the guys look a little grunge, there is nothing messy about this arrangement. Featured are slim trousers, chunky knit sweaters, double breasted coats, tailored sports jackets and feathery-thin scarves. In the words of Joss Stone "Less is More". I love simple, well put together looks. Looks that make men look like they didn't try to hard, even though they look like a million dollars.

In the name of fashion, Let the church say... AMEN!!!

Little J for New Look...


SPOTTED: TAYLOR MOMSEN
AKA LITTLE JENNY HUMPHRY





Here we have one of my favorite Gossip girls Taylor Momsen aka Little J in a campaign for the New Look brand. Taylor and her character on GG both have an edgy style that appeals to young adolescents, which makes her a perfect candidate for the brand and what they're trying to get across to their market. Taylor is not to be slept on, I assure you we'll be seeing her on best dressed list everywhere. She,s only 16 running toe to toe with GG co-stars Blake lively and Leighton Meester. I assure you Little T is the next big thing. Marc My Words...

You know you love me,

ORGASMIC... BURBERRY PRORSUM

CHRISTOPHER BAILEY FOR BURBERRY PRORSUM
VIA: MILAN













Bulky double-breasted wool overcoats, leather shearlings, slim trousers, over-sized cardigans, denim shirts, crewneck sweaters and hi-leg boots mixed with an elaborate runway with Burberry projecting onto the catwalk. This was Burberry Prorsum's men's 2010 fall/winter showcase. The collection was a dream. Without one suit in this 45 look assemblage, the keyword this season for Burberry was Outerwear. The coats were astonishing, the sweaters were colossal and snug and the boots were as high as they were on the old English soldiers of the 1700's. Not to mention Christopher found a way to make the trendy military look just as relevant for next fall as it was for this season. This was definitely one of my favorite shows of fall/winter 2010.

Talk about reinvention... Chris you put your foot in this collection.

In the name of fashion and outerwear, let the church say AMEN!!!

JERKISH TIP #37: Everything Right About Wearing White



So rumor has it that wearing white after Labor Day is still a big fashion no no... WRONG!!! The fashion rules our parents and the ones before them had to follow are long gone. Like evolution, fashion is evolving. With the fashions of the past becoming modern trends, hair stylist finding ways to make big hair as relevant as it was in the 80's and early 90's and shows such as "Mad Men" and "Gossip Girl" guiding the new breed out of baggy jeans and T-shirts and into preppy casual, dresses and suits, its safe to say fashion is continuously changing. Rules such as not wearing white or the brightest brights after Labor Day are long gone... With So many textures and Fabrics and different color variations, wearing what you want has become easier and less of a fashion crime. There are still ways of going about this, don't get me wrong, certain things such as "White Linen" and "Seersucker" are still very much spring and summer attire. So don't go telling your friends The Jerk said its okay to do such foolishness. But if you want to throw on a pair of white jeans with a heather grey cardigan be my guess. The possibilities are endless.

Fashion has no expiration date...
