...Helmut Lang and Jil Sander started incorporating techno-fabrics like nylon and carbon into more traditional weaves, giving them a lighter hand or a three-dimensional quality. They pushed the boundaries, often employing far-out materials like rubber and plastic. More recently, Alexander McQueen has expressed a ghostly romantic vibe with fine spiderweb netting. Francisco Costa has been playing with perforated latex and stretch scuba at Calvin Klein. And at Fendi, Karl Lagerfeld reintroduced the idea of rubber, pleating it around evening columns like a sci-fi mummy...
...satisfying one. This eighth album in her 37-year career is marked by a darker, more sober tone than many past offerings, most strongly resembling 2003’s “World Without Tears.” The album’s generally downbeat vibe is reportedly inspired by both her mother’s death and the turbulent end of a love affair, and both get examined in myriad ways. In the song “Mama You Sweet,” she introduces the grief caused by the loss of her mother...
...back. The zany but focused fashion week crowd has adopted a more carefree Saturday night attitude, and Venexiana plays to the crowd perfectly.Instead of Euro beats, the show begins with hip-hop throwdowns mixed with Beyonce and Justin Timberlake.

The bewilderingly-titled “Cosmopolitan Pap” is quaintly anachronistic enough, and Howe Gelb’s dexterous piano work gives it a foot-tapping honky-tonk vibe. Still, the antebellum imagery and feel of past albums like “End of Amnesia” and “Transfiguration of Vincent” were lost in the LP’s titular war. As a result, the album’s third song...
...egos of the band members, the video reaches its logically illogical conclusion. At first annoying, then perhaps amusing, the video is ultimately pretty funny. The low-budget effects and cute visual jokes (like a carefully placed DFA Records moon flag) attest to the band’s self-parodying vibe. The song is rather silly, with lyrics that seem to be written by someone who’s taken a few too many moon rocks to the head. If you can get past the video’s gratuitous moon violence and purposely cheesy sets, then you may just have...
