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....

WHO: Gisele BundchenWHAT: Vogue Shape IssueWHEN: April 2010WEAR: Something to flatter your bodyWHY: 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

WHO: Karolina KurkovaWHAT: SupermodelWHEN: March 3, 2010WEAR: AnythingWHY: 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.

WHO: Nicolas Ghesquière for BalenciagaWHAT: Balenciaga Fall 2010WHEN: March 4, 2010WEAR: BalenciagaWHY: 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

WHO: Tomas Maier for Bottega VenetaWHAT: Fall 2010WHEN: February 27, 2010 WEAR: Bottega VenetaWHY: 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

WHO: Peter Dundas for Emilio PucciWHAT: Fall 2010WHEN: February 27, 2010WEAR: Emilio PucciWHY: 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

WHO: Enough designers to confirm velvet as a trendWHAT: Fashion designersWHEN: FW 2010 Fashion WeekWEAR: VelvetWHY: 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

WHO: ModelsWHAT: Potential SupermodelsWHEN: Fashion Week, LifeWEAR: Something that expresses your own styleWHY: I look back at images of fashion shows from the 80's as well as when I was first starting to truly get into fashion, around the late 90's and cannot help but make comparisons to the fashion shows of today. One of the most obvious things missing from today's catwalks are models with

WHO: Andreas Melbostad WHAT: Closing SaleWHEN: Thru February 7, 2010WEAR: PHIWHY: Reductions of up to 90% off merchandise from the Fall 2009 season as well as past seasons. It's a shame that the label is closing, but if you are in NY, it is definitely a trip worth making. Run, don't walk.Photos from Style.com

"Out with the old, in with the new" seems to be the message at the house. I'm posting this collection, as I do see some looks that I truly

WHO: Jean Paul GaultierWHAT: Jean Paul Gaultier Haute CoutureWHEN: January 27, 2010WEAR: JPG Haute CoutureWHY: Nevermind that this man can take an inspiration and really make it his own, there are quite a few amazing looks in this collection. I love the tribal feel along with the Mexican influence in here, but what stands out to me the most is the construction. The details are stunning. I'm

WHO: Riccardo TisciWHAT: Givenchy Haute CoutureWHEN: January 26, 2010WEAR: Givenchy Haute CoutureWHY: The colors (purple, green, blue), the textures (suede, beading, and feathers galore) combined with a bit of romance and glam rock pantsuits made my day. On a side-note, the gown on Natalia needs a moment on the red carpet. My fave looks below.All photos from Style.com

WHO: Karl LagerfeldWHAT: Chanel Haute CoutureWHEN: January 26, 2010WEAR: Chanel Haute CoutureWHY: Nary a black dress in sight on the catwalk was a first in quite some time at the house of Chanel, and in its place was a cavalcade of looks in blush, silver, white, and yellow among other similar tones. I always admire the balance of youth and heritage in the Chanel collections, and this one was no

WHO: Giorgio ArmaniWHAT: Armani Privé Spring 2010WHEN: January 25, 2010WEAR: Armani PrivéWHY: Using the moon as a starting point, Mr. Armani sent out a stunning collection with a lot of red carpet options. I like that some of the pieces look almost like sculptures and the tailoring is impeccable. The collection is just so soft and dreamy; but without being to frou frou. The fabrics used, which

WHO: Rick OwensWHAT: Rick Owens Fall 2010WHEN: January 22, 2010WEAR: Rick OwensWHY: I've become a huge Rick fan ever since trying on one of his leather jackets. The almost savage look of some of the pieces reminded me of prehistoric times, but in a good way. Especially the gloves with the fur at the tips, and the fur trimmed vest. The textures and shapes always keep the collection interesting and

WHO: Kris Van AsscheWHAT: Dior Homme Fall 2010WHEN: January 23, 2010WEAR: Dior HommeWHY: It is still hard to erase the memory of Hedi Slimane from Dior Homme, but it is necessary to understand the direction the design is going in. Kris Van Assche stays true to who he is as a designer, while still offering some bits that will stay with the house forever (slim cut suits). Plenty of sweeping coats

WHO: Ann DemeulemeesterWHAT: Ann Demeulemeester Fall 2010WHEN: January 23, 2010WEAR: Ann DemeulemeesterWHY: I've said it before, and I will say it again, I love layers. The dark palette of the collection was broken up with different textures: wool, leather, sheared fur (which looks incredibly soft and buttery) as well as feathers. It had a slight Edward Scissorhands vibe to it as well, I can see

WHO: Raf SimonsWHAT: Raf Simons Fall 2010WHEN: January 23, 2010WEAR: Raf SimonsWHY: Some of the usual quirks found on Raf's runway returned this season, alongside some very wearable pieces. I love the idea of the "half-coat" and the deconstructed trench coats as well. The knits with the wrap skirts may not make it to the streets right away, but I liked that it looked wearable and even masculine

WHO: Paul SmithWHAT: Dip-Dye Miller BrogueWHEN: January 21, 2010WEAR: Paul Smith ShoesWHY: I feel a slight shift in my wardrobe coming on. A subtle shift, but a shift nonetheless. Right now I am really into brogues, and I have fallen in love with these from Paul Smith. The black pair would be great for everyday use, while the grayish/off-white(ish) pair would be great for when I want to put a

WHO: Juun JWHAT: Juun J Fall 2010WHEN: January 21, 2010WEAR: Junn JWHY: Again, I am a sucker for layering, and this collection is no exception. I love the play on proportion as well as how despite the layers, the looks do not look uncomfortable. I am particularly in love with the grey wool trench and the black parka with fur hood. Below are my favorite looks. All photos from Catwalking.com

WHO: Marc Jacobs & Paul HelbersWHAT: Louis Vuitton Fall 2010WHEN: January 21, 2010WEAR: Louis VuittonWHY: Luxury, comfort, and updated classics converged on the runway. This wasn't a collection about making a true statement, rather dressing the modern man in a variety of easy, ready-to-wear looks. I like how at ease the models look and how the clothes are tailored, yet relaxed on them. These are

WHO: Donatella VersaceWHAT: Versace Men's Fall 2010WHEN: January 18, 2010WEAR: VersaceWHY: Simply put, I love Versace. I've been a fan of the label, and Donatella for as long as I can remember. This collection brings me back to when I first fell in love with the house. I distinctly remember the Fall 2000 Men's collection, which was full of super sharp leather coats, jackets, and pants paired with

Upon further inspection, there are some really great pieces in here that would be so easy to incorporate into, say, my own wardrobe. I also like that it feels more fall, than winter. It isn't so heavy, and is quite the

WHO: Miuccia PradaWHAT: Prada Fall 2010WHEN: January 17, 2010WEAR: PradaWHY: A slight throwback to the 90's. Miuccia Prada revisited some of those infamous "ugly" prints she did in 1994. However, the collection was made modern through the use of fabrics and tailored blazers and coats. Double collars on outerwear as well as oversized pockets kept the collection youthful, not to mention the shocks

WHO: Christopher BaileyWHAT: Burberry Prorsum Fall 2010WHEN: January 16, 2010WEAR: Burberry ProrsumWHY: Outerwear reigns supreme at Burberry Prorsum for FW. There will be something for several different tastes in this collection, whether you opt for a more traditional single breasted wool coat, or something a bit more sculpted like a navy peacoat with sloped shoulders and asymmetrical pockets.

WHO: Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy WHAT: Pre-Fall 2010 WHEN: NYC, January 12, 2010 WEAR: Givenchy WHY: Quite simply put, I am in love with Givenchy. So chic, so French, just so...perfect.

This is my idea

WHO: Nicolas Ghesquière WHAT: Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2010 WHEN: NYC, January 12, 2010 WEAR: Balenciaga WHY: Clearly, the Balenciaga woman isn't afraid to take risks when it comes to the clothes covering her body.

WHO: Jack McCollough & Lazaro HernandezWHAT: Pre-fall 2010WHEN: NYC, January 11, 2010WEAR: Proenza SchoulerWHY: I love the styling of each look, right down to the socks and booties. The girls look like what super chic college students could wear to class by day and party in at night. If only all college students dressed like this. I'm in love with how effortless yet stylish everything looks.
