LOVE

Alber Elbaz for Lanvin = <3

According to NY Mag Olivier Refused to be fired!

" Rumors have been circulating for months of design differences between Theyskens and Mario Grauso, the head of Puig Fashion Group, which owns Ricci. Rumor had it Theyskens was out at the house, but his show turned up on the Paris schedule, revealing no unrest on the surface. The show went on today and the rumors haven't died down — the word going around Paris is that Grauso actually fired Theyskens, whose contract isn't up until October, but that Theyskens won't leave. And according to reviews of the collection trickling in from showgoers, Ricci designed with a fighting spirit, sending out a gorgeous, romance-infused, hard-rock-inspired collection. Theyskens has the chance to present one more collection for Ricci before his contract runs out. But if the reviews pour in positively and this collection sells better than his last, will Grauso change his mind? Will Theyskens say "no more drama" and strike out on his own?" from Ny Mag If this is true that is amazing. Typically I dont do the rumor thing but this one is just to good.

Thank You Olivier

You just made my day.
And Now Nina Ricci F/W 10 he went all gothy and I love it. I needed some black this season seriously whats up with the neon (New York I am talking to you)

Gareth Pugh ???

Ok so I loved the vid on Show Studio which I saw at 9 this morning but I am a bit disappointed that he had no actual show but I think this pic for Jak & Jil made all of up and I am back in love with mr.Pugh.


(: yes I did use a smily face but that is how I feel right now.

PARIS

a random post

So this is unusual for me to just do a random post but I felt like it.
* I think that Fashion Weeks have been really sub par this year. Paris better be good. I cant wait for Gareth Pugh, Lanvin, Nina Ricci (is Olivier showing this year I hope to god he is), YSL, Viktor & Rolf, Maison Martin Margiela. If Paris is as bad as the rest of the shows this year (besides a select few) I dont know what I am going to do.
* I am worried about my gerbil he is not eating anything but his bedding (any advice?)
* Class is really tough right now I am just not feeling creative in anything but my fashion classes.
* I am in love with Vampires I just read Twilight (and I dont read trashy teen fic ever) and then I read Interview with a Vampire which is just intense and then I watched Underworld not a huge fan (one of my friends had to remind me that not all movies are fashion shows when I was disappointed with the costuming.)
* Elvis Costello is the most brilliant Lyricists that has ever been. I wish I could spin words the way that he does. My Last FM if you want to check out what I am listening to.
* Portishead "We Carry On" is an amazing song.
* I love how fashion blogs get active at this time of year.
* Marni rocked the accessories as usual one of the few good collections so far.

Raf Simons You Can Do No Wrong

If you cant tell by reading my blog I am a big fan of either stark minimalism or ever the top Victorian drama nothing in the middle will do. I am in absolute love with the Fall/Winter 2010 (eek 2010 already) Jil Sander collection by Raf Simons. I really dont know why this collection floors me so much but I just find in spectacular. As with everything that Raf makes it is so stark that I cant help but love it. How fantastic is this orange dress. All pics style.com

I hate when people ruin Maison Martin Margiela

It makes me want to throw up. AHHHHHHHHHHHH to quote Hard Liquor Soft Holes "BITCH YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND BELGIANS."

New Illustrations

A sketch on Nina Ricci S/S 09 Not my best but I was seeing how far ball point could take me

YSL F/W 09

These are based on the regency period roughly 1820


Finally a Louis Vuitton illustration F/W 09

Thank you Anna Friel

Not only are you the leading lady of my favorite but sadly canceled tv show Pushing Daisies but you also wore Viktor& Rolf. Thank you style gods no one ever wears Viktor&Rolf and it is a complete shame. I am going to miss Pushing Daisies so much (and Lee Pace please act in everything) Pics thefashionspot
