The high and low price of Fashion: Major fashion house Versace covering all bases=Smart

Hey Everyone! We are rounding out the first month of the year and I have to say for me, I see its going to be a year of change.  And I am ready for it.  This Sunday morning I decided to check out the couture seasons of Chanel, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Valentino...you know the majority of  the fellas that create amazing pieces of couture for the fashion houses.  But, I noticed Versace was on the roster.  (scratching head)  Now, I really didn't think that Versace was into the couture seasons but, it turns out its been about eight years since they showed in couture shows.  And I have to say Dontella "Bellissima"  Absolutely breathtaking!

I think the Versace fashion house was very smart in join the ranks with the other fashion houses and designers on catering to the lower price range at one of my favorite shops H&M.  Now, I know it came and went in which yet again.............. I missed out on  all of the frenzy in throwing elbows and pushes to get a piece of something Versace. (Just like I did with Missoni for Target)  But, here's a fashion show in New York showing some of the great Versace pieces.  Look hard enough you may see a few recognizable celebrities (^_^)

It'a like a dream....Azzedine Alaia Fall 2011 Couture

Azzedine Alaia.  Who is he?

This is his first show in eight years and rumor has it that the applause went on and on… and on.

I can see why. Love this.

Extreme Fashion: And I like it, like it: Thierry Mugler

Thierry Mugler

I am known for being pretty good with weird.  So, there really shouldn't be any question if I like Thierry Mugler a french designer whose designs are really out of this world.  His collections are strong, bold, angular and could be a bit offensive to those with the sensitive eyes. But, I am all about pushing the envelope of conventional fashion.  Wearable Art pieces of Thierry Mugler is can be found on the bodies of some the best performers: Lady Gaga and Beyonce

Here's Thierry Mugler Womenwear Fall 2011 collection: featuring Lady Gaga

My favorite vintage piece by Thierry Mugler is this Robotic piece.  It so cool.

One of his Ad Campaigns which looks so unreal.

What made me think of Thierry Mugler is picture of Beyonce on her world tour concert.  Now, noted its not the first time I seen this Harley Davidson looking motorcycle corset.

It was featured in 1992 George Micheal's video "Too Funky".

Did you see Tyra Banks?   I loved the era of supermodels. Aww...the early 90's when size 6 was considered a model size.  Haha!  To those who live in the U.S. Happy Independence Day! Stay safe!

Style of a Man- Ozwald Boateng Inspiration

Every now and then I will pick up a GQ magazine or Esquire magazine because well I am curious about men's style (and inside a man's mind, some articles can be very insightful) but, that is besides the point.  I am pretty sure every woman could agree a man in a well-fitted sport jacket can be a neck turner.  All of sudden your senses are heightened when a well dressed man walks by.  You sort of adjust yourself a bit just to get a better glimpse at his physique. The fit of jacket, well tailored pant...Is it European or American cut....No, Ralph Lauren purple label .....No, maybe its something you never heard of but, you know it did not come from Men's Warehouse. (Unless he has an amazing tailor) Or maybe its from the Devon Scott Collection.  Never heard of him?  Yeah me either.  But, his website has some amazing pieces for men.  Devon Scott

And then, there's Ozwald Boateng
