shiny moments of the week

a recap of the week's glittering highlights

1. little monsters conquer NYC 

[mother monster outside madison square gaga]

this was a spectacle that was oh-so-fabulous and everything i wanted and more, including being spotted on the street and mistaken for gaga!

2. karl lagerfeld has the heart of a lion

lagerfeld defined opulence in the chanel couture show with this gigantic golden lion, whose paw rested on a globe from which the models entered. fierce. 

3. kanye sports egyptian bling bling

mr. west visited the exhibition the tutankhamun and the golden age of the pharaoahs at discovery times square exposition. maybe the boy king inspired kanye's new song "power?"

4. givenchy couture show--dramatic and decadent

ostrich feathers, crystals, gold plating, delicate lace, leather--i literally could not ask for anything more! riccardo tischi opted out of a traditional show and instead intimately showcased his collection. with frida kahlo and her obsession with religion, sensuality, and the human anatomy (she suffered a lifelong battle with spinal pain) as his inspiration, tischi described his collection as "a romantic way to see death."

5. titanic 3d spring 2012

james cameron announced titanic would be rereleased in 3d in april 2012, the 100th year anniversary of the ship's sinking. i cannot wait to relive this moment in 3d!
