Looks like the celebrity feud between Project Runway’s Tim Gunn and Kim Kardashian that didn’t happen might kick into gear yet.  

To recap, last month the Kardahian’s debuted their new line with Bebe during New York Fashion Week.  Tim chimed in on his thoughts when asked if he supported them saying that he felt “the Kardashian’s have an absense of taste“. 

Hee!

Last week on the Joy Behar Show, instigator Joy got Tim going on about the subject again.  Tim called out the Kardashian look (skin tight, cleavage barring, rear enhancing outfits) as “cheap” and “tawdry“. 

While Tim admitted that their look may “have some sexiness to it“, he says he finds it “rather vulgar“.                                         

As for Kim herself, Tim Gunn told Joy, “She’s pretty, but she’s a poser.  I find that when she’s static and still, she has an attractiveness. I find that when she’s moving, it all goes away for me“.

Surprisingly, the Kardashian sisters have remained quiet about Tim’s opinions about them.  So far. 

Kim probably doesn’t really care anyway as she has a mini-empire to run, a reality TV show to famewhore for and Tweets to post.  La-la-la-la-la…

You would think after losing that paid escort gig (worth $150 grand) to the Vienna Ball last month because she was too late showing up at the airport to catch her flight she would be more prompt when showing up for various obligations.

You’d be wrong.

Lindsay Lohan was turned away at the Dior Fashion Show in Paris for being strung out excessively late. 

How mortifying!

No doubt her begging, pleading, and probable temper tantrum didn’t pan out for her like it normally does.  Hence the picture of her stomping off looking ready to cut a bitch. 

Heh.  Love it. 

Next week her second collection of skank wear for Ungaro will be shown.  Looking forward to the reviews.  Maybe Lindsay will surprise everyone and….nah.  Expect lots of drama.  It’s the only thing Lindsay consistently brings to the table these days.

There is nothing worse than being given a classy verbal bitch slap from an impeccably dressed gay man. 

In an interview with Wonderwall, Project Runway mainstay Tim “make it work” Gunn was being interviewed and asked questions on a variety of fashion related topics.  The subject somehow went to Jersey Shore and Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

When asked what he thought of the Jersey Shore style (such as it is), Tim answered, “Ugh! Oh! Don’t even get me started. It is not a style to emulate. I know that the show is hugely popular. I will tell you it pains me when I hear 12-year-old girls say it’s their favorite show. You shouldn’t be watching it! And it’s so incendiary that New Jersey is no longer permitting it to be taped in New Jersey”

Tim added that he finds the idea of J-woww launching her own line “preposterous”.

Heh!  The topic then moved on to the Kardashians and thier new line with BeBe.  “I just think the Kardashians have an absence of taste and I don’t think that that should be perpetuated. I’m sorry I’m sounding like an old farty snob but it bothers me.”

It should be added that Tim went on to say he supports celebrity endorsed labels in general, as long the celebrity in question neither oversees the production or the design (too bad for Kim Kardashian), adding “I’m all in favor of anything that employs young designers”. 

Maybe Tim ought to send them all copies of his book in an effort to help?

Oh, happy happy day!

Apparently, I can now have my cake and eat it to (and eat, and eat, and eat).

Deciding that they shouldn’t just market their product for woman, Spanx is now available for guys.

Spanx is that wonderful creation that firms up some parts (boobs or moobs depending on your gender) and pushes in others (love handles, stomach).  Female celebrity Spanx users may include Beyonce, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, and Jennifer Lopez.  Male celebs who should give it a try include Vince Vaughn and Alec Baldwin.

Any gay man that ever wore Body Body Wear back in the day can tell you, been there, done that.  (Those clothes were unforgiving and probably not intended for anyone with more than 7% body fat.  Drink a glass of water, and it would show, but I digress.)

Considering I have a gym down at the end of my street I’m not willing to throw in the towel, admit the defeat, and go with the Spanx just yet.  Besides being somewhat expensive at about $60 per shirt, getting in and out of anything that tight is a real effort, and (just guessing here) most guys who wear it are not going to end up looking like the photo above (objects waring Spanx may be older and puffier than shown).

New York Fashion week wouldn’t be complete without a Posh post.

Victoria Beckham debut her fall/winter 2010 collection earlier this week in the Upper East Side in Manhattan.  Showing her fourth collection in an intimate setting,  Posh sat with the crowd, making a point of greeting each guest herself.  Giving it this personal touch seems to have paid off for her, with almost unaniously glowing reviews for her collection.  

Earlier in the week, Posh had appeared on The View saying “Most of these girls are naturally thin and I don’t think that we should be discriminating against someone because they’re too thin or too curvy or too large or whatever it is”

Uh-oh.  That kind of attitude will never get Posh on the cover of Vogue (her main goal in life) as long as Anna Wintour’s around.  Anna Wintour has no time for the following, inclusiveness, body fat, or line-ups. 

Poor Posh, desperate for approval which Anna Wintour keeps dangling like a proverbial carrot, just out of reach.

Justin Timberlake in now a designer with some actual cred.

JT and his business partner/BFF Trace Ayala held their William Rast show last night Cedar Lake in New York City.  By all accounts, it was a huge success.  New York Magazine called the collection “sophisticated” and said that JT had “classed up the operation“.   

You know you’ve hit the big time when Anna Wintour herself is in the audience and apparently likes what she sees (she didn’t have her arms crossed, looking like she’s ready to cut a bitch) or maybe she was just pleased she wasn’t expected to wait in line like one of the hoi-poli.

However, according to Page Six, there was DRAMA backstage.  Apparently,  JT had everyone sign gag-orders prior and roped off three quarters of the venue for his own personal use, meaning that all stylists and the 31 models they were working on were forced to work in some pretty cramped conditions, causing tempers to flare and claws to come out.

As for JT, it’s god to hear he tries to keep himself grounded.

Will Jesus model for her?

Word via fashion bible WWD today that the Big M is in talks (re: negotiating a price tag) to put her name and face on a line of  clothes  for Macy’s.

Apparently, names being considered for the line are “Material Girl” or “Truth & Dare“. 

Meh.  Boring and dated.  

Perhaps if they want to tie this venture into Madonna’s musical background, they should be inspired more recent efforts, such as “Sorry“, “Nothing Fails“, or “Die Another Day“. 

Tempting fate too much?

How about playing with their names a little?  “M for M by M“. 

If Justin Timberlake and Pete Wentz can pull it off, why not the Big M?  Then again, that line she did for H&M a couple of years ago left something to be desired.

Oh well, this was before Lady Gaga and Rihanna made it perfectly acceptable to dress looking like a colour blind mental patient running amok with a pair of scissors.

Guess being married to Ashley Simpson and having Pervy Papa Joe as your father-in-law can take it’s toll…

Last night in New York City, Fall Out Boybassist Pete Wentz debuted his new clothing line, Clandestine Industries (cool name, so-so clothes) at Studio 37.

Pete’s been working on the line for about a year, which includes jeans, sweaters, hoodies and other emo-approved clothing.

Of course, being wheeled out Hannibal Lecture style complete with straight jacket and face mask was just the start of the proceedings.  Wentz had teased earlier on his Twitter account that it wasn’t going t0 be a typical fashion show, promising drinks, music, and “maybe a familar model or two“.

Little else is known as the media was kept pretty much at bay and uninvited for the after party, so there’s been few if any write ups.  Expect lots of bitching over this one.  Nothing starts a feud faster than cock-blocking a group of self important critics and would be style mavens.
