Dropping Acid With Prada

Artistic? Yes. Unique? Yes. Psychedelic and a totally what you would hallucinate if you were on one? Hell yes! Prada's latest campaign "Real Fantasies" is embracing the 70's revival in more ways than one. Using a killer combination of collage art, funky fashion, and some really intense video production, Prada has captured and revived the essence of an era in 1:52.

With a video this "bitchin" it's no surprise that it comes from the genius that is Prada. Directed by James Lima, the promo features the brand's SS '11 collection as well as original artwork from the wildly eccentric, 70's art group OMA. The collection itself features oversized banana patterns, neon stripes, and wild-hued Mary Janes that is a kick ass mix of rock n' roll and classic Prada chic.

UO Catalog Ushers in Spring With California Sunshine

It's easy to forget that spring is near with the remnants of winter still lingering in the air (not to mention the fall collections and that whole Galliano debacle). No matter what my acquaintances from out of state say, temperatures are still uncomfortably low even here in California where Urban Outfitters shot their Spring catalog. Girls in bathing suits underwater? Check. A gang embarking on sunny escapades? Check. Impatient girl cursing the cold weather and desperately praying to the sun gods? Super check!

Stalk your local postal worker for the catalog and check out the outtakes here.

Style Spotlight: A Lot in Love with Lykke Li

Those Swedes definitely know how to hit the spot. They make my taste buds happy with their delicious meatballs. They provide my home with cheap, exotically named furniture (I love my Javnahker). And for the past couple of days, hours of sitting in rush hour traffic have become a little more bearable as I neck dance listening to Lykke Li's sophomore album, Wounded Rhymes.

This little Swedish delight has been making waves in the music scene for a while now, and her goth meets hippie style only adds to her mystical charm. With her alluring, never boring all-black ensembles, who says you need to dress in animal carcass and incubate in a giant egg to be interesting? More pictures after the jump.

Galliano "Loves Hitler," Fashion Industry Personalities Show Support

No one can claim that fashion is an industry of wallflowers. John Galliano is definitely one big personality, known for his experimental designs and theatrical shows, but recent events have taken his eccentric image to a whole other level. On February 25, Dior announced that Galliano has been suspended following his arrest at a Paris bar over allegations of anti-Semitic slurs. Three days later, The Sun posted an older video of an inebriated Galliano saying to fellow diners in the same bar, “I love Hitler.. People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers would all be fucking gassed.” Today, Dior has officially announced that they have fired their creative director just days before the fashion house’s A/W 2011 collection on March 4.

Needless to say, this is all very shocking in the midst of fashion month, but what fuels the already huge fire is the support of many industry personalities towards Galliano. See what Patricia Field, Chanel Iman and others are saying after the jump.

Gucci Fall 2011: Woody Allen's Carrie Bradshaw

Okay, so Woody Allen isn't really planning on creating a film with SJP's character from Sex & the City...but Gucci's Fall/Winter collection shown at Milan Fashion Week could very well be the wardrobe for a remake of Annie Hall.

The fabulous furs and over the top styling is marvelously reminiscent of every one's favorite sex columnist from NYC; whilst the boyish silhouettes and obvious 1970's influence practically scream Ms. Hall's name. It is this beautifully executed marriage of opulent femininity and fashionable androgyny that makes Gucci's latest ready-to-wear collection incredibly drool-worthy. The 70's have never looked so good.
