Balenciaga has a new emperor in town. One of fashions most prominent front runners has taken the reigns as the house Creative Director. Alexander Wang has yet to speak to his new roll, or the direction he will take while balancing two of the strongest brands in fashion, but in anticipation for what lies ahead, a look at his newly designed Pre-Fall 2013 Collection.

Pop Pop Bang Bang is a collaborative between photographer Thomas Brown creative director Anna Burns which visually projects the abstract relationship, and use, of film, photography and pyro. Set to three different backgrounds, the conceptual project is intriguing, engaging and one-of-a-kind.

The incredibly talented Jin Kay has now been placed among some of fashion's finest after receiving the coveted womenswear award for Parsons, The New School for Design. The pre-fall, women's ready-to-wear, collection was inspired by the dynamic and relationship between Eastern and Western concepts. Kay was inspired by the 1930's book, In Praise of Shadows, and the collection mirrors the ideas Jeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13592895294081557535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325618074783203200.post-75145103983135079172012-11-13T11:13:00.001-08:002012-11-13T11:13:31.351-08:00Doug Aitken: Installation Art
Doug Aitken is an artist in every sense of the word. He has experimented in almost every medium from photography, sculpture and print to multi-media, sound installation and video. His work has spanned over 3 decades and continues to build and inspire. Aitken is known for his abstract interpretations of art imitating life and inviting us as observers to feel the human experience through Jeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13592895294081557535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325618074783203200.post-60196767066005378902012-11-02T18:53:00.000-07:002012-11-02T18:53:30.684-07:00Andrea Mastrovito - Works and Collage
Andrea Mastrovito's work needs no explanation or narrative. The Italian artist, born in the small town of Bergamo in 1978, is one of the most recognized installation artist currently working. His ability to adapt and cater to his clients, as well as continually evolve as a solo artist, defines him as a true talent.

LOVING this collection by Giles for Spring 2013. Leather was seen on numerous runways in the last few months in all different uses and silhouettes. The Giles collection displayed a beautiful use of laser cut leather in delicate yet statement making patterns. Many pieces also reflect back to Deacon's inspirations from pop artist Allen Jones.

Founded during the sartorial revolution of the 19th century, the suit has long been known as the
cliche "power outfit". From it's early upbringing, it was an outfit reserved solely for the successful and working male professional. In Britain particularly, the suit was a standard where well-cut tailoring was like second skin. Double-breasted, oxford bags, frock coats and breeches all Jeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13592895294081557535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325618074783203200.post-48755483460385493902012-10-19T08:56:00.000-07:002012-10-19T08:57:05.503-07:00Off Duty, On Target
The runways are magic, but the street is something even more enduring. Runway to real life is an opportunity for some of the biggest models and editors to take what they have learnt and inject a healthy dose of individual style into it. Two of my favorites to watch are Korean-American model, Soo Joo Park and Elle China Senior Fashion Editor, Leaf Greener. Both effortlessly transcend the realms Jeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13592895294081557535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325618074783203200.post-4837020426104003802012-10-17T22:25:00.001-07:002012-10-17T22:26:27.256-07:00BLK DNM rising

I am a huge fan of street art that descends upon the right places in the right context. Then again, I don't actually think Art can have a "right context" as all things in their own way can be perceived as Art. But I think there is something to be said for respect of the architecture and culture which it is residing in and always taking into consideration the artist and audience relationship.

Bee
McQueen spearhead, Sarah Burton, continues to awe us with her highly compelling and beautifully effeminate collections. S/S13 was no exception. Initiated by the inspirations of mother nature and her inhabitants, Burton looked to the working of Bees and their intertwined connection to the female form. The result was a collection dominated by wide expanses, exaggerated silhouettes, bold and Jeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13592895294081557535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325618074783203200.post-51586907619409656482012-10-03T21:00:00.000-07:002012-10-03T21:00:06.555-07:00Black & White Come Back
As much as I might like to think I am one of those daring and adventuresome dressers, the ones that live for color and pattern and print, day to day, I keep it pretty simple. I am much more a lover of timeless classics and effortless layers that can be dressed up or dressed down with the appropriate additions.

I have a weakness for collars. There is something incredibly chic, sophisticated, secretive and beautiful about them that you just can't seem to replicate with a scoop neck, boat neck or V neck. Fall is the perfect time for them. Layering allows you to stay away from the 9-5 school boy or office building attire. They can dress themselves up or dress themselves down. There is always a time and Jeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13592895294081557535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325618074783203200.post-92035786799337459892012-09-28T13:49:00.000-07:002012-09-28T13:52:34.420-07:00Uke Forever - Designer Interview and 2012 Collections
To say life is busy for the modern women today seems like a far fetched understatement. On average, we attend far more events and commitments in a single day then our mothers and grandmothers may have ever thought doable. We navigate our cities from the early morning hours till the sun goes to rest. Busy as it may be, most of us would not change it for anything!

Some women exude fashion without any effort. Some work endlessly to perfect an image, a "look". Some are born with a distinct sense of style that comes from nothing more then their own perception of what clothing can truly convey, an outward expression of an inner inspiration. Fashion, like all other art forms, is a way of creating and expressing the intensity and emotion that exists within eachJeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13592895294081557535noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325618074783203200.post-57271124519644721672012-09-25T16:56:00.001-07:002012-09-26T20:38:07.602-07:00Denis Gagnon
Last weeks trip to Montreal has sprung up all sorts of inspiration and admiration for the Eastern Canadian talent that often gets overlooked by us over here on the West Coast. A chance pit stop along Saint-Paul Street of Vieux Montreal led me to the incredible designs of local designer, Denis Gagnon.

The Derek Lam 2013 Spring lookbook is a fantastic combination of street style meets model chic. Beauty Blogger, Emily Weiss, is cast as both model and stylist for the shoot, creating a welcomed switch up to the norm.

Today's addition of Trendland hit a home run for me. I have a major fascination and appreciation with experimental photography lately. Most often I am drawn to simple, un-altered and realist imagery when it comes to photos, but these abstract interpretations of circumstance and external projection of imagery are creating an engaging and intriguing dialogue in my mind that makes me want to keep Jeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13592895294081557535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325618074783203200.post-31706206650005241062012-09-09T21:07:00.000-07:002012-09-26T20:40:03.685-07:00Lush and Lux - Altuzarra Spring 2013
Ready-to-Wear meets Couture. While most designers are hesitant to blend the likes of such prominent fashion factors, Joseph Altuzarra added a healthy dose of the lavish and lux that couture embodies in his Ready-to-Wear Spring 2013 Collection.
