Jean-Paul Gaultier's Runway Tribute to Amy Winehouse

The Paris 2012 Couture collection was inspired by the late singer and models were styled in her honor. 

It has caused some controversy with her family and a few Fashionista's - but the pieces are fun and cool so it seems a fitting homage. Photos via 80's Purple - see full collection at Style.com.

Beam Me Up Sephora - Prabal Gurung's New Cast Uniforms

Sephora just revealed the new uniforms Prabal Gurung designed for them.
So, no doofy Polos, no baggy aprons - the kind of apparel that has left most poor retail associates
looking like golf caddies and butchers assistants for the last few decades. Instead there are a few
very fashionable choices offered that then all work together to create a cool Mod Futuristic vibe
for the staff - not unlike a Starship crew. via BellaSugar

The Goblin Wears Prada...and So Does Commissioner Gordon

Prada's Fall 2012 Menswear collection featured some very well know gentlemen in some very stylish long coats. Willem Dafoe, Gary Oldman and Adrien Brody seriously got the best ensembles. Tim Roth, Emile Hirsch, and Jamie Bell also walked the runway - you can catch them in the video. Love the mixed age range of the men modeling as well - a very attractive show all around.

Star Wars Uncut: Director's Cut - Behold The Awesome Power of Fan Creativity

While we all spend a lot of time as Star Wars fans debating the technical merit/emotional effect of George Lucas's various revisions to his work, we often forget the essential sense of fun and joy the first film originally evoked. This ambitious project really gets back to that essence, celebrating how Star Wars has sparked the imagination and creativity of generations of fans. Casey Pugh basically invited anyone to re-create a 15 minute segment of the original film however they wanted to - ranging from kid's dressing up (or adults - usually in bathrobes), to animated action figures, parodies and more arty animations - and then took on the task of assembling them into this masterpiece of awesome. Funny, sweet, often weird, and oddly charming - if nothing else a tribute to how it's now impossible to look at a canister vac without seeing a droid. You can watch the entire movie above or here and visit  the film's site to see specific clips, alternate submissions and project details.Via Laughing Squid

Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi - Dark Horse Comic Preview

Alternate covers and 3 page preview (via Newsarama) of the new Dark Horse Star Wars Expanded Universe Comic debuting in February. The five issue series from one of my favorite writer/artist teams John Ostrander & Jan Duursema takes the story a long time ago all the way back to the creation of the Jedi Order on the planet Tython. And while not being promoted as a direct tie-in, players of the new MMO game SW: The Old Republic should find this very interesting background material.
