Merle Ginsberg is a fashion writer and television personality who was one of the judges on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in the first two seasons of the show. Sure, fashion and movie stars hype each other – but sex? It always sells. Worn by some of the same models, along with actual movie stars.

Voluminous wraps, mostly red (Uma Thurman, Jennifer Lawrence) the mainstream rise of opera gloves, feathers, tulle, black and white, black tie mini’s, less visible peekaboo bra’s – and more hip, thigh, cleavage, side boob and waistline cut out reveals than a Victoria’s Secret catalogue. Stretching out his brand – or diluting it? Either way, expect to see more luxury brands jumping all the way into actual filmmaking. Vacarello’s flexing his newfound fashion muscle: planning to costume design all of them.
