Virgoans Of Fashion II

20091110_lotd_250x375Fashion is FULL of Virgos. It really is.

I think it’s because it allows them to delineate things non-stop.

Think about it. Hemlines, detailing on handbags, subtle interpretations of trends, referencing and a bit of judgement…

Carine Roitfeld, the French Vogue editor is fabulous.

Whenever I read her in interviews, she always sounds SO refreshing & funny. She’s uber-Virgoan, denouncing clutter and v.clear about her opinions & disdain for various things. Her office is renowned for its lack of clutter. Three books only and some Damian Hirst Diamond Skulls.Which she collects. Virgos always collect something.

She is, naturally, meant to be Madame It of Fashion so it caused somewhat of a stink the other day when she arrived at some show wearing an outfit with NO PANTS. NOR SKIRT.

Now, seeing as Virgoans don’t do this sort of thing lightly – she is not a Sagg who just looked at her pants, sniffed with derision and thought ‘fuq it’, she is a French Virgoan Fashion Icon – i am thinking she is doing a Thank God Saturn Is Out Of Virgo statement or a Uranus Is Opposite My Sun And I Am In My 50s Still With Fab Legs statement.

If it’s not that then i dread to think of this look becoming ubiquitous.

“…That’s why I sleep alone. My hair is curly, and that’s why I have my ponytail. I look like a madman, like something out of a horror movie! But I’m very impeccable and clean before I go to bed. It’s just like right before I’m going out. When I was a child, my mother always told me that you could wake up in the middle of the night and be deathly sick, so you always have to be impeccable. I laugh about it now, but I think everyone should go to bed like they have a date at the door….”

KARL LAGERFELD in Interview Magazine

Hey – I am pulling together all my Virgoans Of Fashion posts to make one succinct point: Virgo IS the key fashionista sign…it’s in the details…

I like clean, clean, clean, clean. Its my new Zen attitude, you know? The less you have, the more you enjoy.”

“Our C.E.O. is a Virgo like myself. We are always saying, keep it moving, keep it moving.”
Rachel Zoe

”’I’m a Virgo, so I see all the problems.’  As usual, he was obsessive about the store’s decor. He moved a white stool, he worried that the handrail would give shoppers splinters and he set little marks on the stereo volume so the music would provide the proper ambience.”

Tom Ford

“I religiously label all my shoe boxes.”

Claudia Schiffer.

“… Tom Ford is nervous about almost everything, sleeping only a few hours a night, budgeting every minute of the day. ‘I’m a Virgo,’ he explains. ‘Virgos tend to make things look easy because we are perfectionists, so people think, “Oh, there’s not much there”, because I’ve made it look easy, but that’s not the case.’…”

“…I throw everything away!’ Karl Lagerfeld declared.’ The most important piece of furniture in a house is the garbage can! I keep no archives of my own, no sketches, no photos, no clothes – nothing! I am supposed to do, I’m not supposed to remember!’ He smoothed a gloved hand over the empty page in front of him and visibly relaxed. “

“…At 45, Ford is still the only handsome male fashion designer, with perfect stubble, manicured nails, and not an ounce of fat: ‘When my clothes are getting tight, that’s not a sign to me that I need to go to another size – it’s a reminder that I have to stop eating, or suffer,’ he explains. He has been scrutinised for signs of a toupee, Restylane, and lifted shoes. However, the Tom Ford chest hair remains in fine form, a forest of manliness barely concealed by a polo shirt, usually with merely three or four buttons undone….
‘I am my own muse,’ he says.”
