Dont Rain On My Parade... Oh The Costuming
Barbra Streisand. I grew up on this woman, pardon me if I sound like the stereotypical show tune loving gay, but there is an air of regal class to her that has yet to be reproduced and that is why she is so iconic. The costuming in the movie Funny Girl is one of my favorites, so many of the trends depicted can be re-adapted in modern society. I feel like with everything so gear toward futurism in fashion a touch of classical-ism would be nice. Though it does slightly remind me of the 2010 Dior Haute Couture Show.

Oh Thee Avant-Garde. The reason I love fashion is that it is so open to your own interpretation, even though people try to dictate - what is fashionable. Fashion has its own life there is no one path to it.

Im not one for gossip but...
Twitter Conversation with designer Stefano Gabbana pronounce that he does not know who Stella McCartney as proliferated on the Internet, however, looks the most like a mockery. In any case, designer shade!

Stefano Gabbana – who ??????
Fabio Viscovo – ahahaha! You don’t like Stella McCartney?!
Stefano Gabbana - Who ????? The daughter of the singer ?????
Fabio Viscovo – Yeeees! Stella McCartney, the designer !!!!!
Fabio Viscovo – Stefanoooooooo, please !!!!! You don’t know Stella’s a stylist ?????
Stefano Gabbana – What’s she known for?? What’s her specialty??
Stefano Gabbana - What sort of style does she do? What’s so special about it??
Fabio Viscovo – She makes a lot of minimalist sequined dresses… … .. they’re really feminine. They’re perfect for a nude look!

Best Coast- Boyfriend
So Best Coast was recently in town, and I am totally kicking myself for not being able to go. I love them, with a sound so distinct, vocal melodies and rythms so akin to circa 50's malt shop music. Here is a track from their latest album that has been ringing in my head for the last three weeks.
Now This Is Opulent Squalor: Vogue Spain
Photographer: Mark seliger
Stylist: Belen Antolin
Model: Alana zimmer
So have any of you ever seen the film Grey Gardens? Im not taking about the recent HBO remake of grey gardens, but the original documentary shot by The Maysles brothers. That never ending web of enchanting crazy that is Edith Beale captured beautiful on one screen now channel into one shoot. I am simple wondering why no one thought to do this sooner?
Lanvin SS 2011
S/S collection for 2011.
I do not fully share the enthusiasm that many seem to have, the Lanvin spring and summer collection. Color-wise Alber Elbaz commanded on earthy tones and dull shades of khaki and petrol blue, mixed with scarlet. It was a much cleaner look and not nearly as ornate as we are used to seeing Lanvin . Billowing silk skirts and zipper details. Some garments shared zippers parting the garment in two, as in, a dress one side draped in silk and the other was a simple cut dress without sleeves. Many of the models wore flat sandals, flats are definitely right for spring and summer of 2011.
The shiny parka above contributed to the sporty feel of the collection.One of my favorites looks, along with an ornate khaki colored top.

Art Is Heart, Heart Is art
Perhaps looking for an encore of her last editorial for Citizen K, Harley Weir reunites with Richie Cotterell for another dynamic story. Turning the focus on art with models as their canvas, Weir is joined by stylist Jérôme André once more for a wardrobe that proves to be both tender and provocative. Mixing up the chemistry with the strong addition of Petey Wright, an intriguing tale of discovery unfolds.
Carolyn Massey SS11 Featuring Abiah Hostvebt

Pop Africana
Photographer: Oroma Elewa
Stylist: Opa Majek
Model: Atuai Deng
Make -up artist: Lauretta Mccody
Lately Ive been feeling disconnected from my african roots, so I looked to POP AFRICANA for some much need inspiration although I didn't find the afrocentrism I thought I would. Inspiration did strike! I thought to myself fashion is universal there is no race ,religion or creed in it thats why it uplifts the masses so.
