new year. new approach to design, femininity, and accessories.
liya kebede, elle italia. the third image is my favorite because of it’s tiny glimpse of a rollerblade underneath her gown. art with a surprise. to me, this is what fashion editorials should accomplish. it should be more than the dress, the price, the model; rather, it should be artistic all the way around—what do i look at first, the model, the dress, the shoes, the background, etc? Hidden surprises would keep readers guessing/assuming/analyzing and make fashion a more approachable yet continually stylized art form.

Oh Stella, Stella, Stella.
Stella McCartney is a dream. Ultra feminine and delicate, she defines female grace and elegance in a way I don’t personally see many designers doing. Maybe it’s my WGS background, but there is something about a female designer designing for the female body that I am more naturally drawn to.
Here are pictures from her 2010 ready-to-wear accessory collection (more…)

I stumbled across this Vogue.com (UK) article/interview about Manolo Blahnik’s 2009/2010 shoe collection a few days across and I immediately bookmarked it. I don’t see an immediate future where I will be able to walk in, let alone buy, these shoes, but they are just so gorgeous to look at. These shoes are sexy, feminine, and classy even if women like me could only stand still in them. I’d like a Blahnik in my home one day, a mantel piece decoration. “Have you seen my latest Blahnik?” I suppose it appeals to the Carrie Bradshaw in all of us…ya know, if Bradshaw were still cool, less whiney, and would find a man that actually gave a shit about her.
