Back from Hiatus!!!! *Blog News*

It has been way too long lovers!!!!! I am so sorry for letting this place collect cyber dust...I have been going through a crazy intense work schedule...I am just getting used to managing everything. I am getting back to basics and what is important to me and that is...DUHHHH Fashion! I have been neglecting things and for that I am soooooo sorry. Fashion never sleeps and I don't care what it takes to make it back to where I was! I want to re-launch with a whole new layout so it will take some time to get together but once I do it is ON! I want to make this blog more of a personalized fashion design journey blog...I want this to be more about me and my designs and my mission to make it into FIT....like I said back to Basics!

Collection Highlights




Collection Breakdown

Colors:
There are a lot of neutrals in this collection and I see that as a recurring trend in the collections. Christian also used a lot of metallic fabrics. I love the color palette of the collection besides a few choice transition looks (posted below) I feel They took away from the collection rather then helped it flow.

Fabrics: A lot of clean and crisp fabrics along with metallic brocades. Collection included a lot of cotton and silk/satin as well as some chiffon.

Silhouette: Again I see another recurring trend and that would be the 1970's silhouettes. such as pant suits blazers and blouses. The dresses are more modern day tight to the body with a lot of draping detail.

Details- Thick and thin leather belts, Chic open toe pumps, Tan hand bags and aviators. As for jewelry there was a lot of turquoise...always a good way to spice up the neutrals!

Model Look: The hair was pulled back in a chic bun. The look was young vibrant and professional. The models seemed to be glowing and looked simply beautiful!



Collection Review
This collection was very pleasing to the eye despite a few looks that should have been cut from the lineup. Christian and his team need to use an editing eye and edit down...I feel if this collection contained maybe 7 less pieces it would be spot on. There was too many filler pieces that don't transition well and could be removed to better the show. Overall I thought it was young and refreshing. The pieces where very tailored and made well. Since project runway Christian Siriano has really made a great name for himself! I am impressed by this collection it has its quirks but it really was a nice collection and I enjoyed watching it!


Pieces I dislike
This is just not flattering and the color was horrid!
Again with that ugly leather and paired with that blue top...it is just bad.
This to me just looks cheap...the pants look like cheap satin and the top with those pants does not work...I also am not crazy about the top print and the random unflattering ruffle.

Designer Spotlight- Mau





Post Industrial Folk Wear by Mau

Post industrial folk wear was started in 2006 to address and solve problems of utility and relevance in contemporary street wear. The garments are essentially built with the harsh dynamics found within industry in mind: with much detail emerging from construction decisions. The material is featherweight tyvek(R): a high performance non-woven taken from construction, graphics, and paper trades to be adapted and manipulated for personal use. Although this material appears to be fragile and perishable, it is in fact a water, tear, and wind resistant fabric. The garments are partially recycled and 100% recyclable, meaning, a fabric that also does mother earth a favor.

Best of Erdem 2011 Resort





Erdem Moralioglu made versatility the heart of his resort collection he also wanted to emphasize seasonlessness and "occasionlessness." He referenced the 1960's and updated it with a certain edge. I personally love this collection. It is bright fun and the shorts in the second look is just amazing! these where my favorite looks!
