Long Live McQueen!!!!

I think it is so funny because I'm trying to expand my mom's knowledge of the fashion industry and all of a sudden she comes home one day and tells me something I don't already know!! Monica, the singer, came out with a new song "Everything to Me". In this music video she has two really amazing outfits that were made in honor of Alexander McQueen.

The first is a dress that is somewhat similar to this one yet still totally different:


The second is a blouse that is also similar to this one yet more flowy:

Mr. Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld is considered, well wait let me rephrase that, the BEST designer of our time (well that's what I think). To me he is the last great classic designer. He was trained by Ms.Chanel HERSELF!!!!! The clothing that he designs is modern with classic influences. I'm not going to lie I love ALL clothing that has a timeless look that makes you think of Cary Grant, Doris Day, Audrey Hepburn and the other countless celebrities of the 1940's thru 1960's. One thing that people constantly forget is that Karl Lagerfeld designs not only for Chanel but for his own personal line. Here's some photos from his Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection:

Yellow Loafers

I have a friend in my Fashion Drawing class, Bryan. He said the most poetic thing in class that seriously changed how I felt about yellow (because as of now I seriously HATE yellow, I don't know why I just can't stand it even thought it is the color of sunshine). He said, "The world would be a better place if everyone wore yellow loafers." Could you imagine? Yellow loafers. So heres a little tid-bit of some of the best yellow shoes:

I think these are totally gorgeous I just don't know who they're by

I want these sooooo bad!!

Adorable!

Cute!!

Love them!

Want them!
