Gorgeous blogger Jac of Dirty Shiny Pretty was checking out her fashion horoscope on Honestly … WTF when she realized that the Leo illustration was wearing a red version of my blue, cropped and ruffled Junya Watanabe motorcycle jacket. (Apparently, Capricorns like me should be wearing Givenchy. I could live with that!)

I wanted to post this last night but my computer was going so slooooowwwww despite my having freed up a huge amount of memory this weekend. I went to sleep with the unfinished post on my mind and dreamed that I saw Beyonce wearing my jacket in a music video. I also dreamed that I inherited some kind of website and gave it to Arianna Huffington. You’re welcome, Arianna!
Meanwhile, in real life, I was intrigued to see that menswear designer Simon Spurr left his self-named company days after getting a nomination for a CFDA award. Simon was one of my fellow Fashion Group International Rising Star award winners this January.
Simon is front and center. I'm standing behind, to the right of him. Click for my Rising Star post.
Spurr co-founded his company in 2006 with Judd Nydes, who helped finance the effort, according to WWD. New York Magazine said Nydes is staying with the company. Plenty of designers leave (or are forced out of) their namesake companies. Herve Leger and Helmut Lang are two examples, while Jil Sander likes to come and go. I’m still surprised to see someone leave right after being nominated for fashion’s version of an Academy Award. I’m eagerly awaiting more information.
Givenchy, eh? As a fellow Capricorn, I approve.
Ditto!
Butyou look so Horny in the Capricorn outfit! I’m the demented Libra balancing on a ball, that’s SO me.. Love the way you’re clutching your award!
I was scared they’d change their minds!
How cool is that, your own little illustration! it’s an amazing jacket!
That is a GREAT jacket !!!

I really love that jacket on you Wendy, and that illustration is awesome! Yeah, I found the Simon Spurr news to be peculiar too, so we shall see.
Hi my dear-both colour versions of the jacket are stunning, you do look gorgeous in yours! Very intriguing about Simon Spurr too. PS-sent you some pastel outfit photos! xx
I LOVE that illo of your jacket!
that’s pretty incredible. well, you’re a muse, i’m not surprised. i think they sketched you.
ah, simon spurr… i don’t know…
lol re. jil sander. let’s see how it goes second time around.
That awesome blue!!!! You glow.
The illustrations are charming. I wonder whether your jacket came in/comes in red or whether the artist was using her imagination . . .
I wonder too!
What a great jacket! I would dream about it also! Thanks for your continued support on my blog Wendy!
