BLOG
As per my Business Writing class, I am going to elaborate on the premise of this blog. I began this blog as a way to voice my opinion on the things I love (fashion, music, art, etc.). A busy schedule has put me behind on my postings, however, the blog is still alive! I look forward to sharing more in the future....

Gisele Covers Vogue
WHO: Gisele Bundchen
WHAT: Vogue Shape Issue
WHEN: April 2010
WEAR: Something to flatter your body
WHY: This is the image of a supermodel. Gisele knows how to make a splash, and this Vogue cover does just that. She looks fresh and confident, not to mention that she just had a baby mere months ago. While the styling isn't quite my taste, everything else here works. I will certainly be picking this issue up.

KK: Karolina Kurkova
WHO: Karolina Kurkova
WHAT: Supermodel
WHEN: March 3, 2010
WEAR: Anything
WHY: Karolina Kurkova has always been at the top of my list of favorite models. Her look is versatile, from dark and mysterious to a sexy bombshell. She made her return to the catwalk at the Giles show in Paris yesterday, and looked beyond stunning. Simply sensational.

Balenciaga Fall 2010
WHO: Nicolas Ghesquière for Balenciaga
WHAT: Balenciaga Fall 2010
WHEN: March 4, 2010
WEAR: Balenciaga
WHY: The future is upon us, and it is colorful, modern, and thought-provoking. A slight continuation from the spring collection with a great juxtaposition of fabrics. Ghesquière's take on modernity meets at the point of clothes that look like they are sci-fi and clothes that are wearable off the runway. Never one to follow trends, Ghesquière is sure to have put the ball in motion for trends for next season.

Bottega Veneta Fall 2010
WHO: Tomas Maier for Bottega Veneta
WHAT: Fall 2010
WHEN: February 27, 2010
WEAR: Bottega Veneta
WHY: The direction Maier went in for the fall collection was one I hadn't seen him take before. The women on his runway appeared strong, aggressive, and sexy. While not totally abandoning his penchant for pretty cocktail numbers, the ratio of the hard-edged to the soft won out, and was fantastic. Leather coupled with strong tailoring and punches of color was fresh. The clothes look like they won't have any trouble making the transition from the runway to a women's closet either, which at the end of the day is key. Below are my favorite looks.

Emilio Pucci Fall 2010
WHO: Peter Dundas for Emilio Pucci
WHAT: Fall 2010
WHEN: February 27, 2010
WEAR: Emilio Pucci
WHY: Peter Dundas, in my opinion, shot a very needed boost of energy and sexiness into the Milanese shows this season. With a majority of the looks, I came away with a gypsy vibe. These clothes aren't for wallflowers, these clothes are for women with great bodies, great legs, and lots of attitude. What the collection lacked in daywear, it more than made for in party dresses. Leopard prints, feathers, fringe, beads; you name it and it was on the runway. Below are my favorite looks from the show.

WHEN: SS 2010

Velvet Underground
WHO: Enough designers to confirm velvet as a trend
WHAT: Fashion designers
WHEN: FW 2010 Fashion Week
WEAR: Velvet
WHY: Velvet made its return to the runway at Alexander Wang's fall show, and picked up more than enough steam throughout New York fashion week to confirm it as a trend. Velvet dresses, pants, blazers, skirts; you name it. Now, as fashion month continues, velvet has turned up in London at the Richard Nicoll show. While the velvet in New York skewed more toward shades of red, Nicoll showed several options in blue, as well as red.
As a whole, velvet hasn't had much of a presence on the runway in the past few seasons. Aside from Tom Ford's infamous velvet blazers, which he reintroduced for his farewell collection at Gucci, I cannot recall such a major moment for the fabric. It'll be interesting to see how many more designers put their spin on the fabric of the moment.
