Why Proenza, Why?

Proenza Schouler just released their new Fall 2010 ad campaign, which seems to be raising a few questions. I love the design of the ad itself- simple and monochromatic, with a nice colourful twist provided in the actual Proenza logo. The decidedly dark campaign features the Kenny twins- Ann and Kirby, as well as Tati. While the photographs are beautiful, one has to wonder who allowed such heavy-handed photoshopping. Where are the waists, thighs and curves (even if they are barely there) on these girls?

Remote Blogging = Internet Loves

Since i'm in saipan without 96% of my closet, photo blogging is proving impossible. Unless you all are interested in what my 3 and 6 year old nieces are wearing, of course. So in the mean time i will be posting more about the clothes i wish were in my closet, rather than about the ones that already are. Lets start the wish list off with this beautiful BCBG number...why oh why don't they have prom in college?! This dress literally hits every fashion pulse point i have...the colours, the print, the split one-shoulder, even the simple black band. Add to that the hidden corset whose existence i don't doubt for a moment...ahh BCBG you really have done it this time. Beautiful.

Divine Florals

my great-grandfather once said, "There is appropriateness in decorating idols of the Divine with flowers, for flowers are the prettiest of God's creation. In fact, I see more of God in flowers than in the idols which are decorated with them." John Galliano truly created something divine with the Fall 2010 Christian Dior couture show- enveloping the models in taffeta and silk, transforming them into floral beauties. It will soon become apparent that i LOVE flowers, and therefore cannot stop obsessing over this show!
