If you missed the YSL manifesto first, second and third time round... panic not. This February 14th, the fourth manifesto (featuring Clauia Schiffer, looking shit hot as ever) is released. 2000 of the booklets -- and more excitingly, totes, will be given away on the streets of London. And Milan, NY, Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong, but who cares about them.

This time round the totes also have a USB stick in them (!!!) which will feature the manifesto video and images. And probably bangin YSL tunes. Valentine's day is a piece of shit, so what better way to spend the day than roaming the streets of the big ol' smoke looking for one of the bags?

The pic above is from the amazing Petronio Associates blog. Ta!

Just seen this posted on the ever-on-the-ball Fashinfags. Did I miss this? Is it old news? Whatevs, I rate the hair.

Recession? What recession? Hand me my $8,750.00 ring, there's a good chap. This Wendy Brandes piece is pretty bitching, right? And, perhaps more importantly, pretty piratey.

Allow me to inform you of the stats. Stat. On the outside, crossbones with diamonds. Natch. On the inside? Oh merely a skull with sapphire eyes. It's set in 18K gold BTW, but I guess you could tell that.

I was excited to note that this design (and the other bits in the range) were inspired by Joanna of Castile, or Juana ~La Loca~ as she is sometimes known. Not got a history teacher for a mother in law? Go learn yourself. Learn yourself good. Learn yourself gooder than that.

If I wore flat shoes, these Topshop bad boys would be at the top of my list. Not ideal for today's weather though, eh?

SNOW OMG SNOW OMG SNOW OMG SNOW OMG SNOW OMG.

Oh yow, I am nuts for the hair at Christian Lacroix. I'm not going to talk about the clothes because I mean, OBVERS. Christian can do absolutely nothing wrong. At all. I don't care what you throw at me, I'll bat it right back in your face. Harder.



Neon striped hair in enormo plaits... oh, I die. The perfect combination of ballerina pretty bun and ~punk rock~.



Chris Moore at Catwalking has some neato backstage shots, which give us a good idea of what goes into the style...
