If only because it's about one hundred degrees and our heads are spinning at the prospect of not being half-naked. We've spent the majority of our day sweating it out internet cafe-style for the sake of wanting to live in the real world for a day, instead of looking at the cement walls that are undoubtedly the 'architectural highlight' of our Brooklyn office. It's nearing three in the afternoon and the only thing we can think about, to be honest, is online shopping and hair. Fall hair. Giorgio Armani's haute couture show is staying on our front page for the rest of the day, not only because of the clothing (which is surely reason enough), but because of that gorgeous hair. We know a lot of women are going short these days, that eponymous YSL Fall 08 haircut having convinced a lot of us that short is chic, and now it seems the updo's are moving in that direction as well. What can a perfect bob do aside from being its perfect self? It can go asymmetrical. That's right ladies, no need to haul that straight iron in your purse any longer. The tricks to this style, as far as we can tell, involve squeeky clean hair, a curling iron (or hot rollers), a paddle brush, some bobby pins, and a little bit of hairspray. Once we manage to cool down, we're going to try it out, and if you should be interested in doing the same, the goods are below.

DIY Hosiery Part Three
July 3, 2008 · 0 Comments
Josep Font's haute couture collection helped us complete our trilogy of DIY hosiery ideas. The first we picked up from our Network Partner, Style Bubble, who cut carefully spaced holes into a pair of tights as she saw them in a shop window. A few days later we saw Network Partner, The Coveted, dip dyed her tights so that they resembled those seen in the Christian Lacroix haute couture runway show. And now we've come up with our own idea for runway-worth hosiery you can whip up at home--the Josep Font way. Perhaps those printed tights you've stocked up on over the season's are sitting in a pile in one drawer or another and have yet to be realized as having DIY potential. After all, they've already so much going on. Well, whip out that glue gun and go to town. In Font's show, floral patterns were made couture by way of same-color stones. The result is intense eye candy, the kind that might just make passersby feel like they've taken hallucinogenic drugs. That's what fashion is for, right?! These tights are pretty wild but we're sure a couture-loving chicster or two will be up for the challenge. We can already imagine them worn with jean cut-offs and black Doc Martins. How nineties would that be?Coutorture's Morning Must Reads 1/23
