Rumor??? Are you talking about Mizrahi??? Where is this a rumor? Outta space?  No we're talking about Cantinflas, a Mexican character actor who somewhat crossed over to America back in the 60's or 70's. I know who Cantinflas was, but I thought ya'll were comparing Mizrahi to him. 
Anyway, went to the screening. The movie was cool but the meeting the director and hearing the backstory was the best part. Valentino and his partner were hilarious. I highly recommend it if you love fashion.  | |

As much as I appreciate fashion, I don't have favorites. Probably b/c I can't afford that shit But I do wanna see that Valentino movie, it looks good    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Vivien Westwood got a real sense for strangeness and I love it
So is Gaultier 
Alexander McQueen 
And Galliano 
As long as one appreciates fashion as a work of art obviously, not everyday's wear. Is there any place of refuge one can flee from this insanity | |

But I do wanna see that Valentino movie, it looks good I can't afford most of the clothes either but it's still fun to follow.  Diane von Furstenberg is the only "designer" I actually wear. I'm the queen of the wrap dress.
Now the handbags and shoes . . . I'm all over them joints.  [Edited 5/9/09 13:12pm] | |

Yves St. Laurent (may he rest in peace)...
and Oscar de la Renta... 
are probably my two favorites of all time. I also love Issey Miyake. I've made several of his designs and always end up wanting to beat my head against the wall because they're major feats of engineering. They're worth it, though - they always look amazing... 
This is NOT one of the designs I've made... We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
