Although, according to Gawker, he’s actually requesting seating that’s not in the front row.
Rumor has it that Vogue’s aptly-named editor-at-large, Andre Leon Talley, has been requesting (gasp!) third row seats at the fashion shows because the front row seating is super-tight. Talley is supposedly tired of everyone watching him do the The Squeeze. [Gawker]
At least he won’t feel out of place in the third row wearing a fur, because dead animal skins are all the rage this year.
A recent survey by Women’s Wear Daily showed three-quarters of 200 high-end specialty stores carry fur, and most of the remaining stores planned to add it.
Buying fur like never before are men and younger consumers, particularly in the hip-hop world, experts say. “People are taking ‘bling’ to the next level,” said fashion analyst Irma Zandl. “It’s one thing to throw red paint on (Vogue editor) Anna Wintour, and quite another to throw it on P Diddy and J Lo.” [Reuters]
I can’t understand why anyone in NYC wears fur since we never have a real winter anymore. I have been wearing a shirt under a cozy wool/cashmere pea jacket and only need to add a sweater on the really chilly days. It’s usually about 20 below in Moscow this time of year, THERE you need fur! :)
You know, if Andre was more generous he could donate his fur scarf to Lil’ Kim. She could then “custom-design” (i.e. use a pair of Chanel scissors, a gold plated Tiffany needle, and some used dental floss Foxy Brown left behind right outside her bedroom window while stalking her AGAIN) her entire winter wardrobe for the next four decade! Just think, she just needs 40 fur thongs and 40 pairs of fur “pasties” (she can ask Andre to lick them with that nicotine-sticky salivia of his so they can stick to her you know whats) and she’ll be totally set!
