With NY Fashion week ready to kick-off, it is always interesting to see a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to put on a show. Enter COACD, which is a glimpse into the world of a model casting director. Hot chicks and some male models thrown in for balance.

I usually won't get behind most of the new special edition footwear that comes out, strictly because there is just too much. However these Nike's paying homage to one of my favorite games, Skate or Die, pass the test. It is not that I like how they look, just that the game was so damn cool. Now I will wait for the Skate or Die 2 shoes, or Adidas Skateboardings 720 tribute kicks.

Oakley, has always been associated with, well lets just say, jerk off's. And they are staying true to their history. Medusa hat and goggles from Oakley. "The ridiculous hat goes for a paltry $500 and the bug-eyed goggles for $250 -- a steal. I can't imagine who in their right (or wrong) mind would ever, ever, ever buy these monstrosities."

"I guess I'm going to keep going until I get a cease-and-desist order,". It's a great idea and the shirts look cool, but after I saw the model in the photo of the Joy Division shirt, I felt ill. She annoyed me so much that it made the products look "tried" to me. It looks like he found his models off of Bedford avenue. So to recap, the shirts look cool but..... his original designs(non-band logo art) are much better and worth wearing!

It seems these days ever rap artist/music artist has a clothing line. Now, the new thing is to have a phone. Prada, did it, Zac Posen designed something for Nokia a while back and now Armani whipped up this little gem. The Giorgio Armani-Samsung phone is a mere 10.5 mm in thickness. It will be available in selected mobile phone stores and Giorgio Armani boutiques in major European countries from November 2007, with expansion to other markets planned for 2008.

I predict we will someday be able to have multiple phones then I can decide what looks best with my Prada suit, My samsung Armani, or my Prada cellphone.

Debates will certainly revolve around whether or not they phoned this one in, but from our perspective it's quite an excellent collaboration. Peter Saville and Paul Smith have created an extremely limited-edition commemorative shirt for the release of Anton Corbijn's new Ian Curtis biopic 'Control.'

First we had the Simpson's, then the Hilton's and now the Miller's. Blonde sisters making fashion. The Miller girls launched their new fashion line Twenty8Twelve to a bevy of fashionable New Yorkers and designers. Why did so many designers attend? Maybe they didn’t get the memo from Phillip Lim; when Hollywood stars become fashion designers, real fashion designers lose out.

All I have to say is that this studded denim blazer is the worst execution of an idea that I have ever seen. I can only imagine Scott Weiland wearing this one, and it probably weighs more than he does wet. BTW, rumor has it there might be a 20th anniversary GnR reunion show in L.A., the missing link being AXL of course.

Shepard Fairey teams up with MC5 to bring the message. The collaboration which includes a signature military jacket, T-shirt and ballcap, is even more notable because of its otherwise dubious origins: a bootleg.
