Fashion..My Infatuation..

Falling from towers..

2009-09-03T01:57:00.000-07:00

How gracefully do models cat walk on the runway?I admire how they can dress up and walk in high tower heels on slippery floors yet they look comfortable and professional. It does seem a
beautiful career when you get to wear unique and wanted pieces that every body would love to wear and own but it doesn't seem so charming when you walk and slip in front of millions of audience.I feel bad for them and that must hurt let alonethe embarrassment but they are models they can suck it up cuz that is their career and every career has it's ups and downs.

My Idol Alexander McQueen

Fashion is a word that gives me feelings that I can't explain. Everyday something new appears and I fall deeply in love with it. From the designers that just keep me in awe are Alexander McQueen "The hooligan of English fashion".He gained a reputation for his wierd yet beautifully shocking runway collections. He started making dresses for his sisters and that's when he decided to be a fashion designer. Though he left school at an early age he worked at some tailors then applied to Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London to work as a patter cutter tutor but he had a strong resumee so the Head of Masters convinced him to apply to the school as a student.He graduated and got his Masters degree in Fashion Design, his graduation collection was bought by the late fashion stylist Isabella Blow and that's when he launched his career.

The wonder of Shoes

Oh my shoes!!!Where do I start? Shoes are essential to most women, they are like the air we breathe. Women even prefer shoes over men, isn't that sweet?

Shoes to us women is like food to men, men love food they love to eat but us, women, we love to shop for shoes. There are various types such as high heels, wedge sandals, mules, slingbacks, espadrilles, pumps, boots, sandals, open toes heels, mary janes and I can go on and on and on and never finish.

One of the shoes that I really loved was designed by Antonio Berardi which have no heels so basically you have to balance on your toes.

I prefer high heels rather than shoes with low heels, high heels gives us women confidence and a great posture, but it still kills when you wear them for more than 5 hours without having a rest to take them off, but as you they say "no pain no gain" and we sure gain the adjective "attractive and sassy"

Isabella Blow The Muse

Isabella Blow, she's a muse a real muse, she was a style icon. But sadly she passed away 2 years ago suffering from depression due to her weak status in the celebrity world and her ovarian cancer. She wore hats that were designed by hat designer Philip Treacy.
In a 2002 interview with Tamsin Blanchard, Blow explained why she wore such hats for a practical reason:
"...to keep everyone away from me. They say, Oh, can I kiss you? I say, No, thank you very much. That's why I've worn the hat. Goodbye. I don't want to be kissed by all and sundry. I want to be kissed by the people I love."

The reason am writing about her is because I have never imagined that a person can be so expressive by wearing hats as much as Isabella Blow.

Impact of Fashion

2009-09-01T04:10:00.000-07:00

Have you ever realized the impact on Fashion on us? Fashion is a part of everybody even though some of us don't obsess over it or care about it that much. What makes fashion a treasure is that every person can identify himself/herself by it. Fashion has caught my attention because I see those famous designers that come up with such beautiful crafts and designs that impress us and amaze us. I still get dazzled every time I see what those respected designers serve us with their creativity. How many of us just wish that the French legend of fashion Coco Chanel was related to us so that we can inherit her genius genes for coming up with such masterpieces?
