Haute couture is my life, but I must admit I’m baffled at times.
For instance, the photo caption calls this “a creation,” but to me, it just looks like some chick having a butt. Is smoking a cigarette with black gloves and red lipstick the creative part, or what?
Was this lady supposed to stop and light up on the runway, because I have to say that will make fashion shows pretty tedious. Perhaps the designer should have looked for a slightly less addicted model?
I’m telling you right now, if I start seeing fetchingly attired models festooned with nicotine patches, that’s going to detract from the fashion show aesthetic. And once they start hacking up yellow phlegm on the audience, well, that’s a little more glamour than I can stand….

It’s Milan! That’s Europe. That’s the land of we-love-to-smoke-so-bite-me-you-American -health-nut! She probably just didn’t want to stop smoking long enough to sashay down the runway.
- Posted by Dee TThey’re marketing to the “naughty Catholic schoolgirl” fetish. Which actually doesn’t make much sense, because since when do 50-year-old guys buy haute couture?
Also, given how high that waistline is, does she really need a blouse?
- Posted by CharleneDear Charlene,
I’m not yeat 50 but if SHE will wear it for ME, I’m buying it.
Does she need a blouse? No.
I am happy I could answer both of these puzzling questions for you.
