Its that time for Men's Fall 2010 fashion shows! I pulled three designers that tickled my fancy and two that made me roll over laughing, not in a good way.Thanks for dressing my future boyfriend Victor and Rolf! Just one suggestion, slimmer pants please.
I adore this jacket by Burberry Prorsum with its zipper action around mid stomach and the military structure.
Neil Barrett added a fun touch with his use of sporadically clumped, different sized polka dots on his clothing.
I could see this look working for the brother of Kevin(Elijah Wood) in the movie Sin City, but other than that Henrik Vibskov's show was a complete fail.Do you really think those over-sized head phones would keep out the noise of the criticism of on lookers Walter Van Beirenbonck?
I was just researching constellations and their mythologies behind them trying to figure out which one I want tattooed on my hand, just the dots, not the connecting lines (I can do that when I'm bored). And then I decide to check out my favorite site Lookbook.nu and find that there is a girl representing the stars on her chest wearing a tee shirt with the major constellations on it! I can see constellations becoming the next unicorn trend... Check the girl out: http://lookbook.nu/look/424735-STOOP-KIDS-AFRAID-TO-LEAVE-THE-STOOP
Return to Me is a brand that is all about individualism and this can be seen with their new necklace. An abstract moon shape punched out with tiny holes hangs from a thin chain. The tiny holes are used for the yarn that is included in the package to sew on any decoration, words, or symbols on. This gives the customer a chance to say that they made a piece of jewelry for themselves without going through too much trouble. The brand even likes purchasers to post their unique creations on the website. These necklaces are definitely statement pieces that say more than "I bought this at Dillard's." So come on guys, get your craft on!
Since 2005 Target has sold temporary lines from designers overseas with its Go International line. This is a way to bring notice to the up and coming designers to the masses in the US at affordable pricing! I have been obsessed with this line since it has been around and was so upset to find when I moved to NYC that the closest target was 45 minutes away in Brooklyn, not a place I venture to too often. Here is a list of most, if not all the designers who have partaken in this brilliant collaboration:
Luella Bartley
Tara Jarmon
Paul and Joe
Behnaz Sarafpour
Proenza Schouler
Patrick Robinson
Libertine
Alice Temperley
Erin Fetherston
Rafe(handbags/footwear)
Devi Kroell (handbags)
Hollywould (handbags/footwear)
Fiorucci
Zac Posen
Thakoon
Jovovich-Hawk
Rogan
Rodarte
My top 5 favorites out of this long list of internationals are
Behnaz Sarafpour
Erin Fetherston
Jovovich-Hawk
Proenza Schouler
and most recently in stores today Rodarte. I would have bought the whole line if I had the money! I have yet to find a handbag/foot wear line that I have been drawn to. Maybe it will come in the future lines to come!
Brigette, Germany's most popular women’s magazines has opted out of using professional size 0 models and instead is using ‘real women’ to model clothing in response to reader’s outcries of protruding bones.
This information made me extremely excited to find a pioneer of a major fashion media source pioneering in the walk towards a healthier world. With me having a past with anorexia and now having a friend being admitted to rehab for the 2nd time for an eating disorder, I see that this is the stepping stone that we need to bring unhealthy images out of the hands of those influenced by the skeletal pictures. If only we could bring this brilliant move overseas to US magazines. I mean, a brilliant designer is a designer that can design for every body type.

In the spring semester I will be interning for stylist, Patti Wilson. I have only had a ten minute “interview” with one of her assistants and have yet to meet her. I knew I wanted to work for her after viewing her work online. The things she pulls together are edgier than ever and ingenious pairings. She creates a look to every last detail from the clothing down to the tights, head pieces and finger decorations. The touch of her eccentric talent can be pointed out in all of her work. I cannot wait to work with and delve into the mind of such a unique creator.
