The Met Gala: What were they thinking?

May 5, 2015

We promised to cover the Met Gala red carpet, to see who slayed it and who missed the mark. Silly us, worried about cultural missteps. We should have been concerned with fashion faux pas. TasselsĀ and headresses and glitz, oh my!
How do you say ” Oy vey” in Mandarin?

Sarah Jessica Parker stepped out in a fringed headressĀ from milliner Phillip Treacy and a custom H&M gown which she collaborated on. Speechless.

They don’t call it the “Vogue Prom” for nothing. Anna Wintour, whose name is now on the door of the Costume Institute, greets her disciples in Chanel. As they remind us often in fitness classes; take your shoulders out of your ears and relax, Anna!

Her daugher, Bee Shaffer, fared much better in a dramatic Alexander McQueen gown:

What’s with the head coverings? Anne Hathaway lost her way in this number, by the big bad wolf by Ralph Lauren.

The Golden Touch

April 4, 2013

Esslack_Heidelbeeren

Want to impress your guests with golden eggs? Perhaps give lobster the Midas touch? With this new food coloring from Germany, gilding almost anything is possible.

Ess Lack, or Food Finish, is an edible spray that can give any food a metallic sheen.

The spray is flavorless, but contains ethanol and food dyes, which are controversial regarding the potential health issues associated with them.

Currently, the spray is not available in the United States. A spokesperson at the company claims that due to its packaging in a can, it is considered a dangerous good and is not able to be shipped overseas at this time. They are working on the necessary documents to make exporting possible in the future.

Curses, Foiled Again

February 18, 2013

Fall 2013 Fashion Week has moved onto London, where the trends continue to evolve.

While metallic has been a big idea for a few seasons now, we are seeing a slicker version. These foil finishes take the metals to a whole new level of shine.
