Humor Chic's Menkes saga - Valentine Uhovski, Super Chic




We thought the meeting between the extremely sweet Wintour and our dear "Tank" Susy would mark the end of the Menkes affair, however that does not seem to be the case. Infact the lovely Anna immediately contacted "Super Chic" who will be sure to shed light on the whole question. We are talking about the enchanting and witty Valentine Uhovski, Fashion Week Daily's unbeatable "Super Chic"...will our hero be able to untangle the whole dispute? Super Chic's adventure continues...

Humor Chic - Oprah Winfrey, visual torment



Over the the last few years we have witnessed a flurry of events which have not only marked an era (such as Obama's election) but have also influenced the behaviour of millions of people, increasingly feeling oppressed and monopolized by the same old figures who dominate the scenes daily (many of which in the fashion industry). Well, even the genuine Oprah Winfrey, the undisputed talk show queen announced that as from September 9th 2011, after 25 years of activity she will bring her show to a close, not because she intends to retire, but to go on to follow us everywhere with her own personal TV, thus becoming our welcome daily obsession.

Humor Chic - Mr Michael Chow, 30 years of dreamlike taste



If you have lost your sense of taste and colour, on New York's 57th Street, in Manhattan, there is a special magical Chinese restaurant which for 30 years has been an important meeting point for all those penniless acclaimed artists; a unique place, just like its adorable founder, Mr Michael Chow, an eccentric patron and the prophet of taste.

Humor Chic in agenda - Elsa Schiaparelli, inspiration for the imagination



One of the more influential figures of the fashion world in the early 1900s was the amazing Elsa Schiaparelli, the prophetic designer and a genuine stylist, straightforward and always against the stream as well as capable of innovating and renewing just through the use of the imagination. Today there is no innovation, renewal only takes place through inspiration...a film, a journey, a book, the usual actress who has passed away, the usual excuse of paying tribute to a dead stylist or the poor Andy Warhol who from up there can bear it no longer!

Humor chic- Beth Ditto, desperately happy



No oversize women, no one wants to see them. This is what the good Karl Lagerfeld thundered a few weeks ago seeming to forget, however, that his friends include the lovely singer Beth Ditto, also known for her fleshy body. Our darling Beth is living a difficult moment due being unable to accept that she is overweight, but despite this she always has a happy smile on her face...is it really worth making her angry?

Humor Chic - The Menkes saga continues



Do you remember the events which involved our beloved "tank" Suzy after her truthful criticism towards Italian fashion...good! We bumped into her as she was talking to the delightful Anna Wintour (recently reelected Miss Vogue editor); what were they saying to each other? It seems that Suzy vented her views on the Italian press' unprofessional approach which following her statements, as usual, decided to side with the usual power tycoons and discredit any truth which resulted too disagreeable to them. Wasn't the press supposed to independent and not controlled by anyone? Evidently this isn't the case in Italy. Go on Suzy, we're all on your side.

Humor Chic - Bible dilemma



Once upon a time in the world of fashion the term "authoritative" was used to indicate a particularly influential magazine. In recent years however we have witnessed an incessant proliferation of publications being referred to as a "Bible"; it started off with one yet, maybe due to the dragging on of this crisis, there has been a proliferation of fashion Bibles, something similar to the episode of Jesus multiplying bread and fish...Shouldn't we all go back to keeping our feet firmly on the ground? It's definitely safer.

Humor Chic - Emanuel Ungaro and Lindsay Lohan, an imperfect couple



Dear Lindsay,
it isn't easy to avoid the shower of criticism which has literally drained you, like a flower with no water, but did you really have to accept the post as consultant for the Ungaro couture house? Dear Lindsay, of course you have your good reasons, after all you must have thought that the world of fashion is being besieged by all sorts of riffraff...there must be room for a delightful little mouse as well!...well no!! I really think we have surpassed the limit and if Monsieur Ungaro defined you a disaster he must have his good reasons...and I should think so too! Why don't you take classes from us and maybe one day you will be welcomed by the world of fashion.

Humor Chic - Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto, finally married



Are you convinced that "avant-guard" is synonimous with unconventional and rebel behaviour? Wrong...My dear friends of Humor Chic, we have immortalized the memorable event which took place in Tokyo and which sealed the love between two of the most cutting-edge designers of the fashion system, the lovely Rey Kawakubo aka Comme des Garcons and her newlywed husband, the darling Yohji Yamamoto. When avant-guard is synonimous with poetry and values.

Humor Chic alert

Humor Chic - Ralph Lauren, a thoroughbred



Nowadays, in order to achieve success in the world of fashion it is fundamental to have the following characteristics: facility to compromise, no scruples toward others, the ability to copy true creators well (young designers), hope in a good dose of luck and lastly, if you have it, a pinch of talent! Ah yes, those were the good times when in order to make it you had to be a true thoroughbred, just like our dear Mr Ralph Lauren, who also had the genius of adopting it as his symbol...class will show.

Humor Chic - John Galliano, eternal child



Over the last few years we have witnessed an appalling absence of ideas and the revival of a fake creativity which more than one persona has been successful in nobilifying by using the term fashion "Vintage". Alas, fashion is one thing and Vintage is another! But finally it looks like this awful moment is coming to a close and we at Humor Chic, who know and recognize what is genuine, would like to offer you a tour of John Galliano's bedroom, as he is on of the few who has been able to remind us that true creativity is always lies hidden behind an orginal and eternal child...

Humor Chic - Megha Mittal, colored steel



Over the last 15 years fashion has not undergone a generational transformation but rather a managerial assault. Managers from every whereabouts, ready to buy fashion brands here and there as if they were cherries in spring, with no knowledge of the basics nor any understanding of creativity. These days we know that old fashion has hit a low, and not only due to the economic downturn but also because it is old... but as yet it is unaware of this. There are a multitude of bloodsoaked brands which the usual lions can prey on...however, this time, the first to pounce was a beautiful and enlightened lioness that will certainly bring a colorful wind of change...we are talking about the 30-year old Megha Mittal from india, daughter-in-law of steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, and the new owner of the Escada brand... welcome dear Megha!

Humor Chic - Carla Bruni, Sarkozy lullaby

Humor Chic - Lady Gaga, scandalous righteousness



If you are virtuous and righteous and happen to bump into a procession of scandals, don't run away because your morality will not be at risk, on the contrary, it might even be enriched and take on a new aura should the person passing by be Lady (saint) Gaga.

Humor Chic - Claudia Schiffer, a top rate pensioner



Dear friends of Humor Chic, at the tender age of 39 the lovely Claudia has officially announced she is retiring from the catwalk shows, a true blow to the heart for fashion enthusiasts who experienced the rise to fame of Top Models in the 80s, when fashion was created by fashion and designers were not yet capitalists, those were the good times. However, let's not feel sorry for her, we're sure that after a life of great endeavors her retirement will not be that bad! We wish her well, and a great big Hug to Claudia Schiffer from all the followers of Humor Chic, we will always be happy to welcome you at every occasion... see you soon darling.

Humor Chic - Paul Smith, stripe daddy





Humor Chic caught a glance of a lively group of kids in the center of London looking for their dad. The situation roused our suspicions considerably as they were all dressed in an original and creative style with multicolored stripes...the secret was unveiled once we discovered that the eccentric man who had lost them was simply having fun doing crazy dives into the Thames river, what's more right in front of the Palace of Westminster...His name? Sir Paul Smith, the amiable father of stripes.

Humor Chic - And what color are you? Michelle Obama, global color



First came the political remark on President Obama having a "tan", causing an outcry. Now a number of renowned fashion magazines have portrayed white models with their skin painted black, once again causing a general commotion.
At this point Humor Chic has decided to launch a global campaign with the aid of an exceptional testimonial. Who? Our dearly loved Michelle, who with great enthusiasm accepted our invitation...to pose in support of a global color.

Humor Chic - Exclusive , Anna Wintour is re-elected Miss Vogue editor




The election of "Miss Vogue editor" once again took place in great secrecy as it does every year, and Humor Chic attended the final exclusively for its readers, amongst the numerous coup de thèatre and the mounting tension. It has been a difficult year for Condenast which, due to the crisis, has had to resort to drastic Conde Cuts; further rumours that the lovely Anna was going to be replaced had us all greatly worried. Carine Roitfeld, Christiane Arp and Anna Wintour confronted each other in the final...which to everyone's joy saw dear President Jonathan Newhouse acclaim the name of the winner: Anna Wintour...everyone sighed with releif.
