TrenDsetting?

According to Time magazine, this year Fashion Veteran, Valentino, 76, says Adieu to the industry....
(Nooooo00!! say it ain't soo!)
He will surely be missed.


Fashion Trends for the Present--Future. What shall we expect?
*Crisis Fashion that overcomes all obstacles?
*Fashion with protective gear attached?
Or now that the world is apparently convinced we will be rescued from the recessional period,
*Free flowing, Carefree garments constructed into bold statements and shapes?

-I personally want to see some outdated looks brought back to life with a modern twist, maybe?
-Mix time periods together?
Just some random thoughts.
What are you looking forward to seeing my fellow fashion lovers?

I saw the new colors that will be introduced for Summer 2010 and some are pretty bright. Here's one:

Mmm cute. Colorful, My favorite.


Tights was a big hit for 2008. Huge hit.
Every color in the rainbow..From Leather...to Lace.
(Esp. UhA and Tights, lol)

We will def see that again in 2009. I feeeeel it!. (Hopefully there is a change)

Lets take a look at some OUT OF THIS WORLD fashion of the past few years.

This YeaR..

What will this year bring??
We are not able to know for sure but we can surely set up for our own futures.
This Year..for me Personally, will be called.. EXPOSURE.
Failure is not an option. I was born to be in the entertainment/art/fashion industry and I will be.

Everyone that knows me and some that have merely seen or heard of me, knows that I am very much into FASHION. From the way I dress, the way I carry myself, Events I attend, Pictures, what I speak about....they speak a thousand words.

I love designing, sewing, taking old clothes and making them look new..Producing and coordinating fashion shows, Modeling...Writing about fashion, watching it.
I am an observer, who creates upon observing what has been done.

Fashion for me encompasses so much more than What clothes you put on and What name is printed on your tag.
Fashion is an ART form. It portrays beauty, creativity, fantasy, emotions. It makes bold statements about things we feel or want to depict.

Controversy?:
A lot of people, many whom I know...Feel the need to proclaim how much of an original and a trendsetter they are when it comes to Fashion. I disagree. Most of us, self proclaimed "trendsetters" are quite the fashion followers, and follow me as I break that down...
--We know we need something to wear...
--We think of our personal style, then subconsciously..channel something we have seen without necessarily thinking about it.
--We go out and buy it...or sometimes go in underground stores (thrift, vintage)..hoping to see something out of the ordinary..and then there are the designing few who make their own..

But all in all...Most of what is worn today..has been worn. Claiming to the world how much of an original you are, does nothing...
Give credit where credit is due..and continue of your quest for your personal style.

-For Real fashion trendsetters...Personal style is eternal. Of course, times are changing but overall..
Ex.1--Audrey Hepburn..wasn't born knowing she would have such an impact on the fashion world...She wore what she liked, minimalistic. Little Black Dress, Black Trousers..

Ex.2--Diane Von Furstenburg..Has been a fashion icon for over 30 years. Creating her Signature wrap dresses. Her personal style has always been the same.

Ex.3--Karl Lagerfeld, the head Designer for Chanel...since his hair was Black, he has kept his personal style just that, personal, and remains a Fashion icon.

Pop/urban Trendsetters.
*Very stylish. Very unique. Spark a lot of our clothing decisions.* But a lot of them get dressed, styled by others.

My personal style is Versatile. I don't wear too many dresses/skirts, but I would. I love a nice pair of jeans/pants. Accessories and shoes make my outfits "me."
They say, "Sometimes Excessive, Sometimes minimalistic, Colorful, Artistic, Culture Lover, who is Confident, yet modest."

Lets take a look ..

So I have some fashion news for you...As we all, or most of us, know..FASHION WEEK IS COMINGGG AGAIN!!!!
But there are changes we might want to be aware of...
Some designers we usually see will be dropping out of the lavish extravagances of Bryant Park and having their own intimate fashion shows. Such designers are; Betsey Johnson, Valentino, Vera Wang, and Carmen Marc Volvo...(WSJ)

Everything is expensive nowadays for everyone mannn. :(

There are fewer buyers, editors, press attending every yr, ...but Fashion lovers don't you worry..there will be a full schedule because they can replace the empty slots..

Models, time to go hard to get in there. If you are not with an agency, go out & meet ppl, go on MM, Craigslist...sometimes they need extras.

PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES!!
