That is a collage by me with polyvore. I love collaging and using polyvore instead of magazine clippings and photographs, it's obviously so much less messy, but than again, there is something more special about clipping and pasting by hand. I guess that's what technology has done. There once was a time when my room's walls were like my tumblr or a pinterest board, but now everything is digital, which i like but then again i don't…Anyway, Paper Watch! so cool I ordered myself this online a few weeks ago and only now am wearing it. You can draw on it! But I like it minimal white.

Céline Céline Céline!

Here are some of my favorite looks from Céline RTW 2013, out of all the collections shown at fashion week, this one sticks out as one of my very favorites! There is just too much about this collection that i love! The mixes of plaids for one is amazing! Against the palette of soft hues of grays, peaches, pinks and ivory. The cuts are so amazing, so chic, light and effortless. I also love the high boots in various colors and the oversized clutches. I cold go on and on, Phoebe does no wrong in my eyes.

 Drawing I did yesterday, it's in pencil and prisma color markers,  I like the way it turned out, i'm not quite sure though, i am never fully happy with my art,  but i think that's good, because then i am always trying to improve myself. It's inspired by this photo - one of my favorites. 

Céline s/s 2013 by Juergen Teller

Daria Werbowy for Céline by Juergen Teller, I think this ad campaign is just close to perfection. Teller's style suits Céline's eathetic so well, the luminosity and color of the photos is to-die-for beautiful. The First photo is a collage by me (with polyvore) using various photos from Céline campaigns and runway.

unzipped

Recently I have been watching far too many netflix streaming movies and documentaries, among the many films i've watched lately was Unzipped, a documentary that follows the designer Isaac Mizrahi as he plans his fall 1994 collection. It was so interesting and entertaining, great music too. I loved that it was filmed mainly in black and white: switching from bright grainy color to black and white, it was cool. The film started with Mizrahi reading a horrible review in *Womens Wear Daily* of his most recent collection, and then we watch as Mizrahi starts his creative  and stressful process for the fall collection. Not only did the film give a glimpse behind the scenes of fashion, but it really showed Isaac at the peak of his career. Totally 'time-capsuled' the feeling of early 90's fashion. My favorite part of the documentary was the fittings and the several scenes featuring the supermodels: Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington. Definitely watch this if you have netflix.

Marques Almeida AW 2013

polyvore

Marques Almeida's a/w 2013 collection was a new spin on their old aesthetic of ripped and slashed denim, but this collection had more of a silhouette and a variety of textures/colors. (see entire collection here). Love the super cool 90's grunge look. I love the layering of the denim and the color of the denim, it's so awesome.  I seriously need a pair of their white chunky platforms.

Organic by John Patrick Fall 2013

Organic by John Patrick ready to wear fall 2013 collection is such a nice balance of nonchalance and refinement. I am so in love with the pencil skirts - which shows just the perfect amount of skin, it's so good. The knits and the fuzzy coats and jackets, i love the slouchy-ness off the shoulder. The color palette in every collection i have seen of his is so fresh and the use neutrals is brilliant, i really love how the shades of neurtal colors are paired together, but my favorite part is the shocking bright pinks at the end of this collection! The clothes are simple, functional and thoughtful…i would kill for these items. 

favorite looks of Proenza Schouler Fall/Winter 2013

Proenza Schouler is always a favorite, I especially liked this collection, it was quite different than what we are used to seeing from Proenza, a bit more delicate and light…compared to f/w 2012, way more lady-like less edgy. Minimalism paired with a nice focus on texture and tailoring, so amazing. With shades of ivory, pale minty blue/purple/greens, light peaches but black and white dominating most looks. I also LOVE the oversized clutches tucked under models' arms! Although after thinking about it, this collection is so Balenciaga in many ways, its sort of upsetting, but i still love it all.
 I did a few drawings of some of my favorite looks!
