Gloomy Sunday

It's been a little more than half a year, and to think that Alexander Mcqueen took his life, is still a shock. A memorial service was held for him on Monday, Sept 20. Friends such as, Naomi Campbell, Anna Wintour, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Bjork where attendees just to name a few. Bjork sung a Billie Holiday song called "Gloomy Sunday", and was wearing an angelic wood-like dress created by the designer. Before Lady Gaga and her many Mcqueen outfits, there was Mcqueen and Bjork. Bjork has worn Mcqueen since the mid 90's. The Homogenic cover album was designed by the late designer, and has worn numerous of his designs in concerts, and he also directed her music video to "Alarm Call". It's not often you get to experience two genius minds working together , but when you do, all you experience is beauty.

the story of my life.

It's pretty simple. My everyday... chaos, disorder, and never a dull moment. The truth is we got some awesome children mannequins. Which of course is also my department, surprised? nope. Anyway, I was so excited, and like a dork I whipped out my camera phone and took pics of them. Then took pics of my desk and my collage of photos that inspire me. Welcome to my everyday...

MIU MIU Fall 2010

This is by far my most favorite collection Muccia Prada, the Italian designer has produced. As I get older, I've notice my taste for clothing has gotten a little more sophisticated, but still cannot let go of the adolescent in me. This collection is the perfect mash-up between law school and kindergarten. The cuts and shapes are simply a throw back to (my most favorite fashion era) the 60's. I say if Edie Sedgwick where alive today she would be dressed head too toe in MIU MIU.

Pier Pressure - Banksy, you still pretty much rock...

Free willy?

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man.

Fashion speaks for itself. one word... timeless.

"ev said" is moving to NYC (brooklyn) this is why I'm jealous

We both went to Fashion design school together,and where even together graduation day.We often talked about how it was a dream for all of us including ashleigh (blogger " fried chicken & champagne")to one day move to NYC and rule the city. Eve heres your time, go out and represent "team dope" for the rest of us...much love.

Art History....Anna Sui- Fall 2010

The first time I fell in love with Anna Sui was about 10 years ago when I first discovered the art of Fashion. Thats what her clothes are...art. I love how her clothes are usually and always influenced by rock and roll. She has a bohemian chic that makes you want to listen to Lenny Kravitz and wish your mom saved her clothes from the 70's. (Thanks mammi for saving nothing!) So to make up for those forever lost treasures, us gals can look towards Anna Sui (without the moth balls).

Samo is not dead.

Valentino Fall 2006

I recently watched " Basquiat - The Radiant Child" I am at a lost for words. The best documentary I've ever seen. Yes , I am partial to Basquait, but this film was simply amazing. He was a remarkable artist that will forever be apart of my art. Thank you for inspiring the generation of artist following you, including myself.

December 22, 1960 - August 12, 1988

get on this...wherever you are...it's a must. period.

last night i had a dream about you...

I secretly envied Juliette Lewis for this Gap ad. 5 years later...it's still the now.

Roisin Murphy...on point

Can I have some more of her style please?

If I had a designer mother, her name would be Consuelo....(Marni)

I must admit, I get to see things a fashion person would dream of seeing on a daily basis. My typical morning at Saks while going to our studio,is walking by a Carolina Herrera trunk show (seeing details of embroidery at it's finest),to meeting the representative from Huate Hippie who was Catherine Malandrino's assistant at one time. Literally everyday can be fashion amazingness...and yeah I totally take it for granted. On to my Marni... The rep for Marni spoke to us about Consuelo, designer for Marni. I instantly fell in love with her aesthetic. She considers herself an artist, can find inpiration in anything, a mood, a painting, a feeling. She finds color palettes in paintings for her collections...brilliant. She's never had any formal training, drapes everything... so umm sorta sounds like me? Her thought process (from what I could grasp)was of a fine artist, her approach to clothing? exactly the same.
