Simon Doonan:rising porno-chic epidemic


Faced with the current state
of red-carpet blandness and rising porno-chic epidemic (bleach-blond hair, pneumatic breasts, butt-crack jeans), Doonan penned his new tome as a humorous how-to for gals who believe looking "interesting and alluring" is better than simply appearing "sexually available."
"They are two horribly worrying trends!" says Doonan, 55, perched in his E. Ninth St. apartment. "Celebrities are becoming so gun-shy that there is no diversity, no sense of fun on the red carpet. There's no experimentation - which is incredibly important to fashion."
And then there's the embrace of porno chic. "Imagine if you said to people 20 years ago that in 2008 a significant number of women would be going around dressing like porno stars with fake hoot-ers and butt cracks showing? No one would have believed you," says Doonan.
"What fashion and style are real-ly about is personal expression and individuality, eccentricity, idiosyncrasy and, of course, fun," he says.
