Modus Gratia Modi? Ars Gratia Artis Vere Est?...

So recently, everyone’s all atwitter about Tyler Shield’s photo shoot with Francesca Eastwood. Oh haven’t you heard? She takes a $100,000 red crocodile Birkin bag, bites it, saws it in half, and burns it. Of course, fashionistas everywhere are livid: how dare she burn such an iconic bag? People out there are angry in general because of the bag’s value: why would you buy...

WWD's latest "Designer to Watch," @DaniellaKNY

This morning, I woke up to see the WWD Tumblr page and it’s latest highlight: South African designer, Daniella Kallmeyer. For those of you that don’t know her, I’d like to take you back to season one of The Fashion Show(that interesting Bravo spin-off of Project Runwaythat started out with Isaac Mizrahi, Kelly Rowland, and Fern Mallis). She made it all the way to the finale and...

Just another reason this movie is so epic.... →

fuckyeahdevilwearsprada: Communication in The Devil Wears Prada The Devil Wears Prada (2006) was loosely based off of Lauren Weisberger’s book, written in 2003. The movie is centered around the very harsh world of fashion and one girl’s struggle to fit into her new work place, as the second assistant to the…

What about Carine and Emmanuelle? →

So recently, CNN and Fashionista.com teamed up to create “The 10 Most Powerful Women in Fashion” list - which surprised me a bit. I, of course, expected names like Anna Wintour, DVF, and Prada to show up. I’m not surprised by Pat McGrath or Cathy Horyn either. I am surprised though at the absence of Carine Roitfeld and Emmanuelle Alt. What about them? There are plenty of women I...

@MrRalph Rucci (Awesomely) Disses Kim Kardashian →

stephkornblum: Andre Leon Talley: What’s shocking to me is how important the red carpet is. At one point I thought it was ruining [fashion] but I don’t think that anymore. I dont think any celebrity can take away from fashion. Not even Kim Kardashian could take away from fashion…Though, of course, Kim Kardashian didn’t come to the Metropolitan Met Ball but [her boyfriend] Kanye West did. Ralph...

Anonymous asked: what courses would you suggest to take in a community college ? liberal arts-fine arts or a business class?I'm thinking about doing that for a couple years and then moving on to a fashion college. But I'm not sure To be honest I'm scared. I'm a senior in highschool, a bit to late to apply anywhere but a community college I think,and I don't know much about sewing. I read...

Today marks a major milestone in my life. After 18 years of working hard in school (busting my ass to get straight A’s, studying like the nerd that I am), I have finally graduated from college with my bachelor’s degree. Of course, in light of this significant event in my life, I’ve been thinking a lot about things: my past, my present, and my future. I’ve been reminiscing and replaying...

Wanna be a Wild Diva? @Roberto_Cavalli May Be Able...

We’ve arrived to the point in the year where everybody pulls out their collections of sunnies. Before the spring/summer weather, wearing your sunglasses can almost be a faux pas (…it’s like you’re trying to pretend you’re cooler or something!). Given the sun and excessive heat (at least in NYC, where it’s not supposed to be this warm this early), everybody is...

@CheapChicWeds: Promoting Creativity and Design...

One of my favourite things about fashion is the creativity of it all. You dream it and somehow, by your own skill-set or by the help of a patternmaker, draper, samplemakers, or whomever, it can exist. Perhaps the best example of this have to be designers Rei Kawakubo, Yohji Yamamoto, and Issey Miyake who have become renown for their use of unconventional materials in garments. Still, you...

Even though it’s been two months and six days (exactly) since New York Fashion Week, today, the festivities were upon us once again with the continuation of Bridal Fashion Week! Now, I know what you are all thinking: bridal week cannot be the same as fashion week - and truth is, it is not. Always disregarded as almost a couture art, the bridal industry is known as this business of money and...

@Zatchels: the new IT bag

So, I don’t know about you… but I’m a bit sick of seeing everyone and their mothers with Cambridge Satchels (ESPECIALLY the fluoro ones). I don’t own one and even though I liked them from the start, my desire to own one has decreased because I see them everywhere (similar to the Longchamp Pliage bag… MY GOSH). So, what now? A girl still needs her satchel! Fear no...

"Let's talk about safe sex and sparkles"

Health and wellness have always been a primary concern of mine for our society. @Proper_Attire has done magic at combining these ideals with great style. Their limited edition designer condoms make for the perfect accessory. Use them or not, it’s pretty cool to have a little something something from these designers at your reach, no? Yigal Azrouël was the first one to collaborate with...
