We have never managed to get into watches despite our best efforts to incorporate the pricey accessories. But Shopping's My Cardio got us giggling with a post on how to wear gold watches without feeling like a crazy investment banker or a member of some over styled R&B crew. But then we realized that we might actually prefer it that way! From this Adidas Black and Gold Leather Strap Watch to this Roberto Cavalli Snake Gold Plated Round Case Watch you can explore your goofy ghetto inspirations. And if you want to channel the Upper East side investment banker WASP aesthetic we suggest this 18-Karat Gold Dress Watch from Brooks Brothers. Isn't it more fun to play dress up than try to incorporate something tricky (and honestly kinda ugly) into your personal wardrobe?

There is something magical about seeing a collection come together. Our visit to Joanna Mastroianni's studio before Fashion Week made us feel exceptionally lucky as she dazzled us with her laser like focus and inspiration. But seeing the finished collection today was an even more rare privilege. The tiles she had shown us in our video tour manifested in garments fit for a princess from skirts to a hoodie cape.

Indeed, while her theme was more Moroccan this season we asked her before the show if she had ever been inspired by Byzantine princess Anna Comnena what with her emphasis on detailing, gold and noble craftsmanship. Her face lit up and she told us that yes rare and exceptional women throughout history have always inspired her with Anna at the top of her list. It was an esoteric inspiration thus we were pleased to find ourselves on the same wavelength as the brilliant Joanna. We like to think that Princess Anna just may be the patron saint of this royal line.

The say the internet is an echo chamber but fashion's ability to to remain insular is unparalleled. And so as once was the way of Courrèges so now is the way of many designers with the sack dress. It would seem that relative lack of subtlety involved in a direct contrast of high and low is lost on many. And while we believe that style can involve three thousand dollars worth of accessories or twenty bucks worth of stolen goods and found items, we do ask for some vision or rigor in application. We cannot of course all be Mugatu's as the joke has been told. Nevertheless it is no difficult matter to find designers like Grey Ant with their darling Gold Lamé Sack Dress who imagine that the material can go just a little bit farther. A plain form, some precious material and the endless cycle of fashion searching for the immaterial inspiration that powers the material continues.
