		<description><![CDATA[The Avant Guardian, like most women, is a fickle beast. Last week I hated Ricardo Tisci for ripping off my favorite dark mastermind, Tom Binns. This week I don&#8217;t care who he rips off, as long as he keeps doing what he&#8217;s doing. The Givenchy Fall ad campaign was just released, and it made me realize that I had completely overlooked the line. And I don&#8217;t just mean this season, either, I think I&#8217;ve been ignoring Givenchy for a good long time. Well, Mr. Tisci, if you&#8217;re reading this, please accept my deepest apologies. When I saw this photo I let out a stream of curse words so intense they probably insulted people in all five buroughs. But, for fuck&#8217;s sake, are you kidding me with the bleached eyebrows and Spock hair? Way to make it hurt so good, Givenchy. Then I went back and looked at every single piece from the runway show and felt complete shock and awe. Fuck all the haters who say the collection sucks, and &#8220;is better suited to Gareth Pugh&#8217;s collection&#8221;? (Why is that a bad thing, anyways?) This collection is back in black and dead sexy, and, oh my fucking god, is that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mark Fast is a young upstart knitwear designer from Canada who is fast making a name for himself in the international fashion community. He grew up in some secluded forest fairytaleland outside of Winnipeg. The solemn quietude of his childhood pressed tightly against his growing genius, and he eventually found his way to London, where he studied at Central Saint Martins. Before setting out on his own, Mark did three seasons of knitwear for Bora Aksu. Fast knits all of his pieces himself on a domestic knitting machine. His innovative techniques, such as blending lycra with natural fibers, like angora and wool, or soft, sculptable fabrics, like viscose, result in pieces that are texturally complex, and that adhere to the body in extraordinary ways. Fast is all about creating pieces that transcend the trends. &#8220;I believe there is a growing interest in craftsmanship in fashion these days,&#8221; he says, &#8220;as opposed to quick fix disposable pieces. I am focusing on timeless classics.&#8221;  I, for one, hope to Christ that this is what timeless classics look like in knitwear from now on. Fast&#8217;s designs combine a comprehensive historical perspective with his modern sensibility. The end product is a line of super [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I neglected to mention that Gareth Pugh also released his first-ever menswear collection for A/W 09, and it is every bit as swoonworthy as the women&#8217;s collection. With baited breath, I wait for a world in which all men dress like this. This leather jacket on the right is so effing hot, it&#8217;s black, metallic, quilted, and delicious. I&#8217;m totally nuts for the boots with that jacket, as well. To the knee, leather with studded straps? Yes, please. Are you shitting me with this jacket collection. I want every single one of these. I have a feeling we&#8217;re going to be seeing a lot more of this structured, belted vibe in leathers starting now. Check a video of the runway show from The New York Times. Photo Credits: Raras Coincidencias Neoyorquinas]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember in 1992 when Marc Jacobs sent all those ripped apart, layered looks down the Perry Ellis runway? The ones that simultaneously spawned nearly a generation of plaid-clad youth and also got MJ fired? Well, back in those days my all black, leather and lace aesthetic was deeply influenced by that grunge runway, and I have recently developed a deep nostalgia for those goth days. Nothing has hit a nerve more deeply than the Rick Owens F/W 09 line.   Whatever I actually looked like in my youth, this is what I was going for. I love the funnel neck leather jacket atop the black satin minidress atop the white cotton minidress atop the ribbed grey leggings with the always exquisite Rick Owens boots. I also love the sparse pale grey and black color palette that dominated his runway. It is my deepest wish that this is the runway that spawns a generation of admirers and teenage copycats. I mean, seriously, what would be cooler than a high school full of kids that look like this?   Photo Credits: fashionologie]]></description>
