It really doesn’t matter that Posh is about as Indian as a bowl of borscht, she’s a style icon and can pull off any look--even that of an Indian princess. Check out her Vogue photo shoot, she’s simply stunning with extensions and a traditional Indian sari fit for royalty. She might want to consider keeping the long locks, she looks gorgeous.

VALENTINO---The Last Emperor
The October 20th screening of Valentino: The Last Emperor was shall we say, to die for. Even though it was in the middle of the day.
But then there was free popcorn, and Andre Leon Talley sat in the seat behind me. The movie started, and it was awesome.
The documentary opens with Valentino's Spring 06 collection, looks back on the Dolce Vita days and ends with his three day Roman blowout and retirement.
It's part love story (him and Giancarlo), and part tragic end of an era (of couturiers that simply won't exist again). It's about a man who's wants nothing more than to make women feel beautiful but who can't, or won't, find a way to fit into a changed industry, and I totally cried at the end.
But the best bits, which happen all though the movie right up until that final runway bow and Valentino's heartfelt tears, are all the hysterical Odd Couple moments between Valentino and Giancarlo. They bicker over sets, over models, over pleats, and when Giancarlo asks Valentino why he's using pink for his finale dresses instead of red, Valentino responds, disgusted, "Enough with the red! The red dresses are the most simple, the most stupid!"
Giancarlo says, "To be with Valentino as a friend, as a lover, as an employee - it's all the same. You need a lot of patience." And then he tells Valentino he's too tan, which was, I think, Andre's favorite moment.
Mine? When Karl Lagerfeld congratulated Valentino, "This is how it's done. Compared to us, all the rest are making rags!"
Black Sabbath Converse
Here's a little trend I almost forgot to tell you about.
Considered to be one of the most iconic sneakers of all time, the Chuck Taylor has been kicking it for 91 years and counting. Definitely a favorite amongst musicians due to its classic, simple styling. As part of their music series this year, Converse releases a collection of Black Sabbath joints. Keeping it simple two pairs of Chuck Taylors are seen in a black and white colorway alongside a 4-strap Jack Purcell Hi reminiscent of the Nathan Cabrera for Dr. Romanelli’s seen a couple of years back. All three have hit select Converse accounts. Journey's has one style for pre-order and you can pick the other styles up November 1, 2008 at the Converse website.

$34 Million Net---From Bankruptcy Sale
Shoe Pavillion Inc. said late on Monday that it will close all of its 64 stores after a liquidation sale.
The Sherman Oaks-based discount shoe store filed for bankruptcy in July and joins Mervyns LLC of Hayward and Linens-N-Things Inc. of Clifton, N.J., on a growing list of major retailers that are shutting down this year.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Maureen Tighe approved the liquidation order Friday to have 10 to 12 weeks of sales run by a joint venture group of Great American Group LLC of Los Angeles, SB Capital Group LLC of Great Neck, N.Y.; Tiger Capital Group LLC of Boston and Hudson Capital Partners LLC of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The liquidation is expected to bring in $36.3 million.
Shoe Pavilion had been in business for 29 years and at one time had 117 stores. The company has stores outside of California in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington. Signs in the store at Sansome and California streets in San Francisco’s Financial District said, “Everything must go.”
“It is always tough to close down stores, but consumers will benefit from the extreme discounts on every item in the stores until all the merchandise is sold,” Danny Kane, managing member of Tiger Capital Group, said in a news release Monday.
OK, only in these times can we see a liquidation sale of $34 Million and it still not be enough to save the corporation! Simply staggering amounts of money being lost. Now I wonder who's on the other side of the loot!
