Comparisons Akimbo // Tossin Tulle

Here is a page from a story shot by Camilla Akrans in the latest Chinese Vogue. Banged girl Anna Selezneva tosses her skirts up like no ones business against an early evening sun.

Her arm extension and expression evokes in AnA's opinion the Gucci Flora fragrance advertisement. Shot by Inez and Vinoodh, the image of Abbey Lee throwing up her boho gown is fun and summery and involves lots of arm. Too bad she probably smells like crap!

Leaf Blower Wanted Akimbo

Sometimes when Dolly loses herself in a field of expansive white blooms, she likes to pick one, hold it to her face, snort a petal and trip out on an orgasmic adventure. Or she just borrows some new Gucci perfume from Ms. Streisand to dab on her special spots. All in a day in the Akimbo loft!

Dear Tom...

We miss you.

We miss your over-the-top, sex-craziness that made Gucci the go-to brand for ladies who had grown tired of being ladylike.

We miss your wildly inappropriate forays into the magazine world. Others have tried, but they can only pale in comparison. Particularly since those others of which we speak reek of desperation and if we weren't sure it was Marc Jacobs, probably Davidoff Cool Water.

We miss that extra-large forehead that may or may not be signs of balding (most likely the former) .

We miss your timeless and effortless personal style. Sure, we've only seen you in a tuxedo or your birthday suit in the past fifteen plus years...but both looks are absolutely flawless.

But most of all, we miss that chest hair. We wanna snuggle our way in their and live til the world collapses all around us and plus-sized models stomp down Parisian catwalks.

You're rich, a complete perv and let's not forget, a fucking genius. Come back to us.

Love,
AnA

P.S. Keep this coming, Uncle Tom...and we'll be sure to do the same. Hiyo!

Best of Milan!

Well the men’s shows in Milan are wrapping up in a lil bit and already some slouchy trends are coalescing dans le monde chic thanks to the shared Italian consciousness; next Spring expect ALT in Armani pajamas and Gucci floral shoes before changing into his Prada sweetheart blouse and Bottega bell trousers for evening. Think a bit trim and narrow but relaxed, all with a smattering hint of sky blue, of course.




The real winner this week was Prada, who once again reinterpreted “masculinity” (does that word even have any meaning anymore) with this bondage theme she’s been into for a couple seasons. Artificial materials (a refreshing Prada staple when the color is right), common raw fabrics tied and pulled (remember those tie-died wool trousers?), and high socks with little accessory showed some raw new shapes appropriate for our "moderno" tech age. Love it Miuccia; wrap me up with some nylon straps, make me lose 30 pounds, but let me take this coat – by far the best piece of the week – to go!

SHOES!!!!!

Dearest Gucci,

Thanks for feeding my unhealthy obsession with over-the-top, gaudy, and fabulous footwear. No one does it better than you.

Oh, and Ms. Ross, check out the handbags ASAP. You'll cream.

xoxo

Ms. Streisand
