Did SMOKING just get cool again?????????
It was National Smoking Day on Wednesday 9th March, (you no the campaign that helps people quit from smoking cigarettes), however, ironically on this same day, Brit Award winner, Soul singer Adele is seen adorning the cover of 'the gentlewoman' magazine, puffing on a cigarette.
Secondly reformed 'coke sniffing' Kate Moss took to the runway for the first time in three years, closing the Louis Vuitton Paris Fashion Week show. Her hair in a "Croydon facelift"- a scraped-back ponytail and dressed in hot pants. And if that wasn't enough for her to re-emerge on the catwalk, she came out 'AVIN A FAG"
According to the Evening Standard
"Critics (i.e ME) will have a field day with Moss smoking, but they will be missing Jacobs [Marc Jacobs, head designer for Louis Vuitton] point. This was a show about freedom: of expression and of choice. It was about a woman's right to choose to live as she pleases, whether that means smoking a Marlboro or buying a £2000 Louis Vuitton bag. Isn't this what fashion is all about?"
NEWS-FLASH Evening Standard. Eeerrrmmm NOOO this is not what fashion is about. Maybe if the Evening Standard looked at and followed the inspiring and influential works of Supermodels Alec Wek or Iman, rather than glorifying a coke sniffing, scandal fueled, Miss Moss, then they might really grasp the beauty of fashion and the positive effects it can have.
Luckily, the UK government has decided on a new minimalist plain-paper packaging directive for cigarettes, since the previous 'SMOKING KILLS' slogan and the black tarred lungs on the packets didn't make the full impact as they expected. Its shocking. I suppose for smokers its a fag over having a life, the same way how its fashion over boys for me:) x
