Just for the record, I was never pissed at Christian Siriano for his ‘tranny mess’ comments way back when, but I did do some posts on my other blog about the fallout and how many gay men jumped on the tranny-slamming bandwagon. [slamming as in derogatory and even hateful comments]. Oh, I just went back and checked: I guess I was a little peeved but it was more of a media peeve than anything personal.
Anyway, all that’s ink under the bridge, here’s some up to date Siriano stuff that rocks.

The young designer on his new guide to fierce style.
I came across Nina Ricci coincidentally while researching Bypass Netlabel.
She was using some music by Syndrom who is fast becoming one of my faves in the category of Fennesz et al.

Also, here is a Bypass Netlabel showcase CD that I have yet to explore.
Bypass Netlabel is an independent internet records label which was founded by audio engineer ZhangJW in 2008 and located in the Beijing city, China. We are interested in offer originality and art-forms of electronica music. So far Bypass got almost a half-hundred releases that genres covered include Ambient, Chiptune, Experimental, IDM, Trip-Hop or Field recordings. We respect all the artists who working seriously for free-music and new sound explorings.
Nina has some very chic fashions I adore, and also of course there is the background music for the catwalk show. niiice.
