Might Don't Make It!

I've worked for about 2 hours on this dress and Haven't sewed a thing! (It's all cut and Pinned together) I got the shape I was going for, but I lost my path when it came to the placement of the zipper and the connection between the Bodice, peplum and then to the skirt.

I thought because I knew how to cut this shape out just by thinking about it that I would be able to sew it easily and make a few more for the show next week. . . It just might not be happening.

Nom De Guerre Spring 2010

If I found more time to spend in the Thrift Shops and Resale stores like I used to, I would be able to achieve this exact look. I'm definitely inspired by the Spring Military look. The serious and clean cuts of military clothes are usually released in winter collections, but Nom De Guerre has stepped away from past occurences.

Sewing Men's Accessories

Life is funny, I didn't realize until this week that I'm going to present my clothes in MY FIRST FASHION SHOW. and I won't be there! I have a conference in Texas (on the $hool's wallet). So a friend of mine offered to Represent my brand at the show.

I sent her the mood boards and style sheets so that she gets the look correct, which I'm sure she will do fine. My look is a hard one to mistake, hopefully you are starting to see my niche as well. I guess I'm going to do about 6 looks, and i wanted the majority of the models to have on bowties.

I usually make the REAL kind you have to tie but I know that every one doesn't like to put forth the effort, and because I won't be there to fix the Perfect-Imperfect knots I opted for the fixed bow-ties.

For my added aesthetic and style I used buttons instead of clips or hooks on the neck sizer. That definitely takes these bow-ties back in time. Go with me - - -> [Iamme Collective]

Chicago Pick Ups

Indulgence is not usually my thing. I have a deep understanding of what I like need, and want, but a shallow resource pool to choose from. (in every $ense of those words).

But since I'm in Chicago I've decided to visit some of the places that I frequent through the web. and thats Solemates and Marc by Marc Jacobs

Of course I knew I wanted the scarf and hat set on first sight a few weeks ago. So that was on my mind when we were on the way to Chicago, as for the black Marc Bag, there is a jewelry piece in there for my sister. I got myself key chains, I found out recently that I have "Janitor Keys". So I guess I needed to change it up. Hopefully the new Marc keys won't be confused with the custodian's keys.

Alexander McQueen Spring 2010 Ad Campaign

Alexander McQueen's Collection inspired by "Plato's Atlantis"

is the best of Spring 2010 in my opinion.

All of the dresses are prints of aquatic scenes, creatures, and landscapes fused into intricate ink plot-like designs full of color.

And of course we all know the shoes by now. And for the people that think her toes are literally going straight down. . . catch a clue, her foot is still in the regular stilleto stance, its just on 5 inch platform with a big round shape on top,having that makes it look like its arching all the way down into a ballet point.

Either way It's amazing to see how things can be brought to life through clothes.

I completely agree with the premise of this Fashion Editorial, If you can't read the text below it says that in a time where every one is being conservative, serious, and boring because of the economic downturn, they want to still bring dreams to reality, and shake things up.
