Hasta La Motion!

Alpha Vomero, a NY-based wardrobe stylist and fashion designer – not to mention really good friend of WMIG – takes photos of on-the-street fashion to display on her mega awesome blog DISCOFUNBATH. She spends her days shopping her butt off, drinking vanilla lattes and traveling through every New York City nook, giving her a unique view of fashion and trends that the average walk down the street might not yield. WMIG followed her around on a few of her typical days to create this little behind-the-scenes-style film. Kind of like a day in the life of a style blogger.

Marc Jacobs Mens Ready-to-wear Spring ‘10 collection has dropped! Hopefully this signals the emergence of “Patrick Bateman guest-starring in an episode of Miami Vice-esque fashion” and flushes out all that goth ninja nonsense that’s been dominating men’s fashion for the past 2 years.

Adam Kimmel’s lookbook for Fall / Winter 2009 puts Factory alum Gerard Malanga behind the lens to recreate Warhol’s famously awkward screentests from so many decades ago. Stacked from top to bottom with familiar and talented faces, all methods of artistic expression get screentime as Kunle Martins, Matthew Barney, Francesco Clemente, and Glenn O’Brien – to name a few – sit on the hot seat in heavily shadowed awkwardness. Oh yeah, and the clothes are pretty awesome too. Check em out HERE.

Before Miles Davis left this mortal coil he was kind enough to give an interview to 60 Minutes’ Harry Reasoner. The rasp, the venom, the sly hilarity; none of them fading with age as he politely sat like a gnarled piece of bark across from the pasty establishment of 60 minutes. To his credit, Harry manages to take it well.

I guess I sorta slept on this past festival season so I might be behind on this one– but it looks like a must see.

“Valentino: The Last Emperor is a feature-length film on the legendary designer Valentino Garavani in the wake of his exit in 2008 from the company he founded in Rome more than 45 years ago. Produced and directed by Matt Tyrnauer, Special Correspondent for Vanity Fair magazine, the film is an intimate, engaging and very funny fly-on-the-wall exploration of the singular world of one of Italy’s richest and most famous men. The film documents the colorful and dramatic closing act of Valentino’s celebrated career, tells the story of his extraordinary life and work, and also explores the larger themes affecting the fashion business today. But at the heart of the film is the unique relationship between Valentino and his business partner and companion of 50 years, Giancarlo Giammetti.”
