It's nice, but in a fall of civilization kind of way.
The rich keeps getting richer, making bathtubs out of a "single enormous block of the purest white rock crystal".
Reminds me of Rick Owen's bedroom.

Alabaster

Rick Owen and Michele Lamy's bedroom.
If this isn't a bedroom for a puritan, I don't know what is.

The designer is exhibiting a copy of his bedroom in New York City, how very Tracey Emin of him, but except not. He says it was inspired by "Christ's empty tomb". And, I know this is really obvious, but it's sooooo nice. Look at that loaf of a mattress sitting so quietly on top of that flat surface of alabaster. I wanna fuck here.

With instant information sharing services like Twitter, fashion week is becoming a whole other game. Photos are uploaded minutes if not seconds after a model walks down the runway, images of fashion show from Milano, Paris and New York are being distributed at almost instant speed to anyone who is interested in fashion via the world wide web. It seems like the public no longer needs the elusive invitation to attend these exclusive shows, but it remains to be shown if this democratization of information will continue as sites like Twitter are still relatively new. It seems like a great opportunity for budding fashionistas in small towns and fashion students to catch a slice of the exciting world of the big 4 Fashion Weeks.

Above is a photo from the Rick Owen's collection posted on twitter during the show.
