Rihanna Is Lost, and So Is Her Style

influencebyedropoff — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 21:47:37 +0000

By this time, I think we’ve all seen Rihanna’s latest spread in W magazine’s February issue. She’s “dark” and “edgy”. I use quotes here because the spread portrays her as actually quite dour. The first attempt to revamp Rihanna came in January’s GQ. Many voiced that this spread portrayed her as a slave to her sexuality as opposed to a controller of it. Round 2 in W is not any better. If her press team is trying to re-create a strong image, I don’t think this is the one for her. I think she’s trying to look powerful, sexual and domineering but she just seems serious, unapproachable, and frankly, shameful. Is mimicking a gun in your mouth and showing some nipple the way to strength? I think not.

The Crawfords

We all know Cindy Crawford as being one of the hugest supermodels in the world. Her striking beauty is undeniable, but has anyone taken a look at her kids lately?? Gorgeous children, Presley Walker and Kaia Jordan (even their names ooze of exotic-ness), are bound to be just as stunning… Oh, wait, they already are. Below are some candid photos of them; they are what we like to call alien-beautiful.

We also love how Cindy and her hubby are always making out on yachts…

Barbies For eBay

EBay keeps surprising us, slowly gaining a stronger and stronger interest in the designer and luxury goods market. First, they released a trend blog, The Inside Source, then they got Narciso Rodriguez to design a capsule line for them, and now, twelve fashion designers have created one of a kind barbies for an eBay charity auction. Below are some of the featured Barbies; they are up now for auction. After day 1, some have already been bid up to $3,000…

Is TOD’S Stealing Chloe’s Designs?

Has anyone else noticed that the new TOD’S line of sunglasses resembles some of Chloe’s frame designs just a little toooo much? Below is a side by side comparing the two:

What do you think? Here are a couple more of the shades from TOD’S recent collection:

Whether you think they are too close for comfort or that TOD’S redesigned them appropriately, I think we can all agree that these are tired silhouettes. Yawn.

Kardashians Take On Fashion Week.

Next month, the famous trio- Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, will be debuting their line for bebe at fashion week. (I know, I know, try to not get too excited…) The sisters are kicking off the Style360 event on Stage 37 on the west side of Manhattan- not in Bryant Park- the main location. They do seem like the perfect three to represent such a line consisting of scandalous night wear, overly-sexy skirts, and too tight pants. Not sure what to expect form them, though it probably won’t stray too far from bebe’s current merchandise.

Spring 2010 Trend | Crazy For Clogs

Inspired by traditional Dutch footwear, clog heels are our favorite trend this spring. This is surely going to be the most versatile pair of shoes in your closet; they work great with jeans, dresses and skirts. And don’t be afraid of sky high heights. The chunky, wooden heels lend great support and balance. Several styles even have a rubber sole to soften impact when you walk. Below we hand picked some of our favorite pairs:
