Sacred geometry/Gothic rave: Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2015

Marc by Marc Jacobs Collection was engaging, and when I sit back and think, I’m intrigued. Many people are speaking of the collection as it being inspired by rave/punk culture.  Yet, I do see why. I tend to think of it on another level. There was this oversize button up shirt that really triggered my gears. I noticed that the designer duo Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley Peeked into scared geometry, which is explains laws of the universe covering Pythagorean geometry and the perceived relationships between geometrical laws that create the geometrical patterns in nature. You may see it coming in on a spiritual side of information about the universe. So, as I watched the models walk as strong down the runway I took more interest of how they played with geometry in a literal sense  using asymmetrical lines. Reading to the crowd that you’re not only extraordinarily unordinary, you can pull of the perception that you can have fun when coming to your wardrobe. They used innovative techniques when functioning on  prints that resembled street graffiti, layering, and clothing that appealed to have shapes that were very laid back.

Secondly, I noticed how the Designers both took an approach being political due to what is happening in the world. In my opinion, I felt that they may have been inspired by the economy; and world affairs that are betiding that gave me a revolutionary/Gothic vibe. Though, Politics are nothing new, You can see that occurring in many designers past and present collection. The way I see it there are a ton of issues, why not be inspired by ii.  If you were to ask me what pieces of clothing I would pull of the racks as we speak. I would point out both of these oversized pieces.

In addition, I do want to add how that I was quite shocked to see new designers taking place in the brand. I'm esteemed of them because they know how to take their ideas and be in a like mind of Mr. Marc himself.  What do you think about the duo so far? I know this isn't their first collection when it coming to working on this brand. 

Other looks I loved.

Fear or fierce : Rihanna wearing fear shawl hyein antwerp

Rihanna was spotted wearing a fur shawl that was from a brand new designer named Hyein Seo. I'm dying to get my hands on this piece myself, ONLY IF I WERE ABLE TO AFFORD IT. However, I will be keeping an eye out for what this designer has to bring to the table. So far, this is not the first time seeing Ms. Riri wear his pieces in fact she's been showing the brand tons of support.

Would you wear ?

Again, Just know..


I got my eyes on this shawl , Darling. 

Pharrell for British GQ 2014: Artist of the year

First, I would like to say congratulation to the recording artist Pharrell Williams for scoring the title as the recording  solo artist of the year, while i'm singing (Because I'm happy !!). I'm in a stump between which editorial I like more because for this month W magazine released an editorial featuring Rihanna's Tribal editorial, and now Pharrell is giving every bit of life wearing war paint in his latest cover/editorial shot by Hunter & Gatti for the October issue. Wearing pieces pulled from the likes of Burberry Prorsum, Giorgio Armani and Maison Martin Margiela, styled together by Tanja Martin. 




They say that they sourced  inspiration from the Kanya Masai tribe. I can't help but think how culture can serve as inspiration.

Meskita | Spring Summer 2015

Wings of Ma'at : Meskita Spring/Summer 2015

Must have !

Meskita's collection took a trip into the deep roots of African culture, and went through the ancient walls of Egypt. The influence shows in the collection without being literal... The style will work for women who want to feel like a goddess, and be prepared for social events such as pool parties, cook outs, and dinner dates. 

The collection fabrications choices  were very gratifying due to the use of gold  lamé , which pull in the what the Egyptians of the time stood for as a sign of being born in richness, and the flow of the  clothing is amazing  I have been enticed by things that are in structure with a tranquility of movement within the pieces.  

The most intricate thing I found interesting were the use of the Egyptian gods and goddess printed on some of the bags, along with rings that were placed on the tips of the fingers. 

What are your thoughts ?

I found these two videos last night! I can't help but not wake up and look at fashion videos. In fact, they inspire me as a creative individual to want to do more shoots and find my own inspiration to share with others. I also find it cool that little things you have seen and or experienced make you want to push yourself even harder towards your goals.

Hope you enjoy!!

Beautiful Nightmare - Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2014

\

Tons of thoughts ran across my mind when viewing the Spring/Summer 14 collection from Marc Jacobs. I even started to think of minor things that possibly influenced the

Attention to detail : Spring 2014 - Proenza Schouler

I have come to a realization that when viewing photos from a point of view and photos that pay attention to details from the designers shows are enthralling. You're capturing the mood of the collection's atmosphere that will possibly inspire you for your next move. Personally, I feel that it gives the show a different prospective and makes the garments more desirable and easier to understand. 

While I viewed these photographs, I have taken notice of what the designer was thinking when in the post designing process of the collection.  Proenza Schouler understood the celebration of the women's figure with lines and structure that will give her that confidence. She will be filled with excitement because of how the pieces will look and feel against her skin. 

Where are my pastels- Prabal Gurung and orange lips

Summer calls for a reminder that you will be possibly indulging in some sweet pastels. Meanwhile, Prabal Gurung in this case has given everyone a through back with a 50's vibe moving forward. Furthermore, I'm intrigued with the textiles and prints that were pushed even more throughout the collection.

I'm looking forward to seeing how these clothing will be used in up coming editorials !!

Here are my favorite looks :.

Orange Lips are the new red.....

In relation to the show of Prabal's show besides the clothing. The make up also caught my attention and I like the whole idea  ( if he was thinking ) the lips should also be the (it factor). In fact, I feel that orange lips might just be the new red. The color is bright, fun, and quite a bold choice. Anyone and everyone will not help but to stare.

My motto always applies, If they want to look, make it count ;)

Fashion Week Day 2

Oh fashion week from home is just a perfect way to relax and enjoy, well, FASHION!!

Day two, I’m already excited. I feel like I'm meeting and greeting people, strutting for the cameras, and answering questions on how I feel the show will take place as those leggy models grace the runway. 

The fashion industry has truly progress for the ones who couldn't make it and or didn't get an invite. However, I still feel the anticipation and nerves getting worked up as the crowd takes their seats and the lights go dim for that very moment.  

Today, I will be watching yet another live stream on Style.com and I will receive every blessing that was giving to me today. 

In addition, I've also noticed that they take photos that are uploaded instantly as the show progress! Even in still photos you're able to die over your favorite designers. 

Anyways, I have to go, I can't miss a thing. 

later ;)

P.S Anna Wintour has nothing on me !!

Parental Advisory : Alexander Wang SS14

Alexander Wang's SS14 collection has given me a new outlook for the season. in addition, He's stuck to his native roots with tons of Oriental silhouettes and  relaxed clothing, which fabrications were light and perfect for the season to come. I also sensed a feel of bedtime wear on the go. One of my favorite looks would be the shirt that has Parental Advisory, also mixed with sheer panels. 

Moreover, I appreciate this collection because it allowed me to tap into his head.

Here are the other looks I enjoyed !

Fierce is my name !

I'm here to stay, and as long as i'm alive I will do everything in my power to give you a post of life !


What has been happening in my life?

Well I've started wearing lipstick in either black or bright red, I've painted my nails black. sometimes , I would add micro-beads to give my nails a new dimension of something new and started wearing eye-liner because I'm one to break those boundaries that was set in front of me. Being fierce is not giving a care in the world  and knowing who you are as an individual. Another way of showing to the world I'm fierce is buying a Karl Alley hat that states that I am, what I already know .

Be you , Be Free !

New shoes season

Every time a new season comes I rarely get a chance to buy new shoes, and or add new garments in my wardrobe. I've been eyeing these amazing Dr. Martens for some time now and happy to know I will be soon buying them because I admire them.

Become hypnotized by them as I am with them.
