Am I too Late?




I know, I know this is a Spring collection, but I have not been inspired by any of the Fall shows so far! Everything seems like it could be taken right off the runway and worn onto the streets this season. Bored! However, Jan Taminiau got me out of the winter funk by placing images of alien queens in my head! The models hair seemed to be cone head inspired with the dresses are so innovative! Also note the shoes!

Splash of Color


I came across this girl outside of the FIT dorms and had to stop to take her picture! Her outfit is brilliance! I adore the colored tights trend, but it can come across tacky if done the wrong way. Hailey here pulled it off with tact by keeping the rest of her pieces neutral. I adore everything about this outfit from the blazer with the leopard pocking out of the sleeves with the fur vest over top and the scrunchy socks spilling out over her boots! Black and brown look wonderful together this season!

You Woo Me


While I had some time in between classes I decided to take a look at FIT's Fashion Museum. Right now there is an exhibit in the basement on the Influence of America on Fashion. As I was searching through the gallery I came across Jean Yu. As a fan of light airy fabrics there is no way I could not like this designers Grecian shaped dresses made of the sheerest fabric around, attatched with a simple band. It is simplicity at its best!

Welcome to My Dream World

The couture shows stomped the cat walk about a week ago and had me all googly-eyed. This is my favorite time of year, a time when fantasies become reality. People always tell me that they do not get fashion shows because they show clothing that could not be worn out on the streets. This is true for more than half the stuff that prances down the runway, but what do you think inspires the ones who are making your ready to wear clothing? The runways!!! Not only are they inspiring the ready to wear designers, but they also get people like me to get to feel for the few minutes of viewing the shows a giddy feeling in their hearts. Here are some looks that got my pulse racing...Elie Saab 's collection consisted of ethereal dresses colored as light as a baby's skin and whimsically detailed with lace and diamonds. I especially adored the face framing braid for the hair style.

Valentino's line looked as though it could have been inspired by MGMT's Electric Feel song with their use of neon bright colors paired with neutral tans. The use of blue make up for the eyes and shoulders looking as though the models acquired blues sunburns from another planet made me want to go where they had been.

She Had Diamonds in Her Eyes



The first day interning for Patti Wilson took me all around the city doing ‘pick ups’ for our next two photo shoots, one being a couture spread of Lindsey Lohan and the other being Vogue Japan. I am always surprised at the locations being sent to because most are set up in apartments. So I go to the places directed and get nervous that I have the wrong address and that someone is going to call the police on me for knocking on their door. Anyways, one of my destinations was just like this. I almost turned around and left, and then a lady with red hair answers the door. She invites me inside into a kitchen. I have this feeling it is a bad horror film waiting to happen until we turn the corner to a room filled with these sunglasses. She and her sister create them at their apartment together. I was so intrigued by the look of the glasses and had to show them to you. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did! I introduce to you Mercura…
