Muggers Beware

 The Internet world is labeling this Chanel Hula Hoop Bag for Spring 2013.

I call it the HooliePursey!

"It's for the beach", says Karl.

"You need space for the beach towel, huh? 

And then you can put it into the sand and hang things on it."

Yes Karl. Its perfect for my beach towel and for hanging thigs on, and maybe even a game of frisbee. I'm also the only person on the beach with my big giant quilted number balanced artfully between 2 hula hoops. Muggers Beware, its only a hula hoop!

HooliePursey, i love you very much.

Picture the scene. You've touched down in St Tropez, your porter has diligently delivered your Chanel-logo'ed surf board, beach ball raquets, inflatable raft and ergonomic hand flippers (seriously) and you're on your private patch of beach toying with idea of going for a swim (you're Kate Moss). Perfect, Huh?

This purse is outrageous, impractical and, most of all, expensive. 

Even cooler, Chanel's frantic spokespeople said they didn’t have a price for the  Hooliepursey!

Its about volume and lightness and 

I WOULD WEAR IT.

Too much pure fantasy? Have a little one instead.

GARETH PUGH

is London's enfant terrible. 

He's had warriors, dark knights, vampires . 

This time he had cockfighters. 

"Some things happened to me recently. Sometimes you just can't help changing, some things are out of control."

these pieces are beautiful.

 There is a feel to them that belongs to not just the stage or the catwalk, but for  all the outsiders in the world. And beyond. Its haunting, feminine, with danger and movement. Gareth has always had a sexy and strong to say with womenswear and just becomes more and more focused in his vision. He follows in a line of people whose extreme personal visions take you to a different universe. Gives me the feeling like somebody has finally reinvented fashion for the 21st century and rescued us all from retro regurgitation. Thank God.

This season, he was Inspired by the rawness of Latin American cockfighting.

For the show, A Capella soundtrack soared above the silhouettes and beneath the torrents of rain beating on the roof.

Trousers and sleeves were dramatic in length, trailing across the catwalk, extreme fringing adorned dress shoulders, hanging from the body like wings and spiked heels.The Latin feel was captured in a series of textured 3-D ruffles reflecting a coiffed, full-breasted cock, ready for the fight.

Anarchy with the Gender codes! Love it!

Many critics just didn't get it.  Some said "Like a Las Vegas celebrity tribute show".

I don't think you have to be local to see ITS GORGEOUS, ITS WITTY, ITS a fashion statement!.The past is important. And its ok to feel nostalgic as well. Perhaps Jean-Paul Gaultier was just trying to say that you can live large and be your own rock star…..? ....DER.
