Tokyo Nail Expo puts our grey polish to shame
Yesterday, while we were humming and hawing over whether or not to wear cement-coloured polish, the Tokyo Nail Expo was showing off mind-blowingly intricate nail design–3D Hello Kitty, lace, diamonds, giant rosettes and what appears to be She-Ra. The annual nail extravaganza also includes the Japanese-celeb laden Nail Queen Awards, which appears to be a […]

Best gift ever! Fashion finger puppets
You totally know the puppet on the left is Donatella. Photos via liberty.co.uk Rubbish Magazine have created some crafty little companions—finger puppet avatars for the fashion elite. The knit miniatures bear a striking resemblance to their real-life counterparts and are organized into categories for every fashion capital—Milan, Paris, New York and London. No surprise that Karl Lagerfeld is there, but our favourites are the two-headed Viktor & Rolf, André Leon Talley resplendent in an LV cap and cape, and a mini Alber Elbaz. If you can stomach the exchange rate on the pound, a boxed set of five puppets will run you about $155 (liberty.co.uk).
See a gallery of Giorgio, Hamish, Miuccia and the gang after the jump and tell us which is your favourite in the comments. [Grazia]

Give us this day our daily bread shoes
Stumbling across Bread Shoes was a pleasure cruise through bizarre waters. They’re quirky and funny–and utterly strange. Naturally, we had many questions for the designers, twin brothers R&E Praspaliauskas: “Is the bread’s crust hardened with anything? Will these slippers grow mould? Will they go stale?” We detected some playfulness in their design—slippers made from loaves of bread, c’mon—but the joke was still on us.

Fashion news: Hurley makes nachos for Christie Brinkley, Ungaro’s harsh words for LiLo and women are lining up to be hobbled
via Fashionista.com Though it seems like an unlikely pairing at first, Lost’s Jorge Garcia and Christie Brinkley work out, make nachos and generally live the good life together in the pages of Vogue Deutsch. Of the pairing, photographer Bruce Weber says: “Christie is the ultimate California beach girl and Jorge is the ultimate hippie.” So they both have the less-is-more, beach bum thing going on. More photos at the link. [Fashionista]
Seems that Emanuel Ungaro himself agrees with the rest of the world that Lindsay Lohan’s debut collection for his fashion house was disastrous. Are we susprised? Ungaro, who sold the company in 2005, said, “I am furious but I can’t do anything about it.” Going on, the designer lamented that his fashion house “is in the process of losing its soul.” [The Cut]

We’ll take any opportunity to say “haute catoure”
By some adorable miracle, New York label United Bamboo has managed to get cats to wear mini versions of their clothes and pose for the company’s 2010 calendar. Our cats would enact some horrible revenge on our shoes if we ever committed such an atrocity, so kudos to you, United Bamboo. You can pre-order your calendar now. (We already have.)

Video: Salvador Dalí est fou for Lanvin chocolate
Not just a surrealist painter, Salvador Dalí was also a prolific pitchman. He fronted for Alka-Seltzer, Braniff and in 1968, even Lanvin. Actually Lanvin chocolate. (The house went through a bit of a rough period.) A chocolate apparently so delicious, your handlebar mustache will vibrate. [Jezebel]

Video: André Leon Talley has the best tennis outfit ever
In the latest September Issue clip to hit (honestly, we won’t even have to see the movie by the time it hits screens. Though we totally will.), everyone’s favourite Vogue editor-at-large, André Leon Talley, demonstrates that one does not have to lower oneself to the level of wearing sweatpants just because one is getting sweaty. Check the LV towel and toque ALT is sporting at his tennis lesson, not to mention the Damon Dash pants and vintage diamond Piaget watch. Oh, and a mini LV trunk for his Fiji water. And you wonder why we have a crush.
