[more]Vintage MTV: Kurt Cobain Talks About Madonna And Vogue
In this clip from MTV Brasil, circa 1993, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain talks about Madonna. In the first part of the interview he mentions Madonna signing groups like Prodigy and Candlebox to her record label Maverick and how he doesn’t feel she was being sincere. In a refreshing turn, he mentions where he does have respect for Madonna and why.
He talks about her introducing Vogue into the mainstream. Vogueing as an art form was, of course, pioneered by the late great Willi Ninja. A contemporary of Mr. Ninja, and current resident child of the House of Ninja, Javier Ninja joined Maddy on stage at the Super Bowl last year to dance during her ‘Vogue’ performance. Watch him after the jump.
[more]4 Bits of Advice From Polly Mellen
Former Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar editor Polly Mellen is one of those women that is so confident, so experienced, and so open that everything that comes out of her mouth is a lesson to the recipient. Polly recently sat down with NY Fashion week creator Fern Mallis to share stories on her life and to give you tips (not that she cares if you practice them or not).
1. Destroy your ego. “Go see every designer everywhere. You never know where the next talent is coming from. Open your eyes, have a little humility and let go of ego.”
2. Do what you want and make no bones about it. “Never would I let anyone go to a William Holden movie with me. Once watching ‘Picnic’—I had such a crush on William Holden—someone tapped my shoulder and said, ‘Polly, you were here when we came in.’ And I said, ‘I know. I am going to see it again. Please go away.”

FASHION ICON CARINE ROITFELD SPEAKS IN NEW YORK, OFFERS MUCH-NEEDED COUNTERPOINT TO ANNA WINTOUR AND VOGUE
I love Carine Roitfeld for two reasons. Number 1, she has great style. She brings a darkness and a sexuality that is non-existent in American fashion. American fashion, after all is ran by Anna Wintour and the woman has not an ounce sex in her bones. She’s all business. Where Anna is cold and rigid, Carine is hot and messy. She’s a welcome contrast, a true creative who collaborates and contributes to art, not just commerce. This is my second reason.
Last night Carine
