Happy birthday, Bridget Fonda.  I know that you haven’t made a film in years, but do you think that I might be able to coax you out of retirement if I named you the official celebrity spokesperson for Wear a Gown to Work Day 2012?  Think about it . . .

An Ungaro Cover?

leave a comment »

Vogue Mexico

Check out the latest cover for “Vogue Mexico.”  That’s the gorgeous Constance Jablonski in a dress from the Emanuel Ungaro S/S 2012 collection.  I really liked this scarlet and turquoise section of the show.  Even though Giles Deacon had parted ways with the label only weeks before this dress hit the runway, I could see his influence on the collection.  And during this particular section, I felt as if the heritage of Ungaro was being mined in a manner that showed some promise for the future.

With the recent departure of even more executives, however, I suppose that the label is doomed.  I don’t know how one dress on the cover of an international version of “Vogue” could possibly turn around the fortunes of one of the most-mismanaged labels in fashion, but I kind of wish it would.  I also wish that Ungaro would make me their creative director because they couldn’t do worse, could they?  It’s not like I’m Lindsay Lohan or the creative team from Halston . . .

Happy birthday, Wayne Gretzky.  You’re probably wondering why I posted this old photo of Martina Navratilova . . .

Happy birthday, Dinah Manoff.  While I liked you in “Grease,” I think I like you more in a headband . . .
