Michael Bastian found his on Hulu Plus. "It started with watching The Red Balloon for the first time in twenty years," he said after his show today. "It snowballed into this French-guy thing." It's hard to see the pile-on of pineapples and paperclips as anything other than American brash. The strength of the Bastian look is that it is impervious to any attempts to strip its muscular sportiness and its yen for camp. A Paris-printed cap and a tourist-camera prop didn't telegraph the American-in-Paris idea as clearly as it might, nor did the live performance by the American R&B chanteuse Alice Smith do much to reinforce the mood. That's the distraction of Internet-era reach: like print on print on print, it offers the narcotic lure of more, more, more. But what whiffs of Francophilia distracted from here is just how fully formed Bastian's own world is unto itself. As if to prove the point, he customizes accessories to match Videos, fashion, stylists, models, the biggest fashion events pass by us. Accurate descriptions for every video since 1982 with attention to the smallest details, this is what makes fashion channel the best tool to immerse yourself in the fashion world at 360°. Beauty
