A MASQUERADE EXPIERIENCE

Christmas Party is coming up! I cant waiiiiit! This will be the theme of our party :)

Classy meets punk rock

MEET JENNY HUMPHREY

On the last season of Gossip Girl, Jenny Humphrey did not have a distinct style in fashion – you would always see her dressed like the other girls and struggled to fit in upper east siders. For season 2, she transformed herself and became a fashionista! Rocking a new haircut, bolder eye makeup and a lot of new fabulous clothes!
Before I forget, I am really loving the new Jenny Humphrey! Ha! There’s a lot that goes in to the Jenny’s new look. As an up-and-coming fashion designer still under the age of 18, she wants to look sophisticated, fashion-forward, and maybe just a few years older than she is. But Jenny can’t afford a wardrobe filled 100% with designer clothes so she makes most of her clothing herself which is really money worthy. She's very creative and I like how she let the viewers know that you dont have to spend a lot of money to be in fashion. I also like how she found her style and proves that she doesn't have to dress up the same as all the other girls.

I know a lot of people (Well, I've read on blogs. Ha!) who doesn't agree to her new look, mainly because she looks like she turned from good girl to the bad girl image. As for me, I think its really cool how she alters her image from classy to having the punk rock look. Its fun to be rebellious sometimes, you know?

Meet Tavi Gevinson

Tavi Gevinson, 13 year old (Yes, she's only 13) With a 19 month old blog, she's just your average everyday grade school student (okay, maybe not so average) Often misinterpreted as a boy for her juvenile apple cut hair plus the fact that she's a glasses wearing imp. Her blog reached up to 50,000 viewers, not to mention she's featured on this months Preview Magazine! Philippines.

Her photo posts in her blog are mostly gifts, the Christian Siriano skirt, Rodarte Spiderweb leggings, and even dress samples from American Apparel. Bloggers like Tavi have been referred to as the "frontline of fashion". She has also become a regular guest at fashion shows. How luckyyy! Right?

It appears that Tavi Gevinson has become the new darling of the fashion industry. It was even rumored that several fashion editors created her blog. (Couldn't believe that a 13 year old wrote it, eh?)The elfin teenager, who has amassed an impressive following thousands of readers with her blog Style Rookie, has been busy rubbing noses with the fashion elite and gracing covers of magazines.

Editor Dasha Zhukova interviewed the rising star and also hired Tavi to write a blog for the Pop website. (She is sooo cool!) She has two sisters, Kate and Laura Mulleavy who used her (Tavi) as their muse just eight months after she started writing online, using her to help present their collection.

*She was invited to New York Fashion Week*

Outfit repeater?

New fashion trends are being advertised, featured, and sold in markets all at the same time, therefore, Celebrities can not avoid having the same outfit as the other. Next thing they know, their names are on the headlines-- "Who wore it better?"

->The only thing that seperates these stars is how they carry themselves.

Rent the Runway!

Ever wanted a designer dress for a special occasion, but couldn't justify splurging on an ensemble you'd only wear once?

I recently found out this site that offers an online community through which you can rent designer dresses for any occasion at the cost-effective price range of $50-$200.

And, as an added plus, with the first rental, the site will send you your choice in two sizes so that you don't have to worry about your dress digging in!Now you never have to splurge on designer duds you'll only wear once! Now, How cool is that?!

MIDTERMS!

These are my mid terms for fashion illustration 1, its basically 9 head fashion figure, depending on your poses and the fashion faces. We were given a card like board then get ideas from it for our clothing design, a silhouette could also do. As for me, flowers (1- leg strap or what ever its called)Circles(2-skirt) and the stripes(1-tank top),. Im not exactly good at it yet, but Im aiming for that! It was said that after the sem, we can already draw a fashion figure! :)

Spring Bling! Summer Stunner!

My groupmates (Alice, Marianna, Carla and Marielle) and I have to make a concept board on Spring/Summer 2010 Clubwear. We came up with our theme; "Sex and the City"

It was said that the movie will be showing on March, which falls perfectly for our Spring/Summer 2010 clubwear collection.

Why Sex and the City?
Sex represent the skin, which will be totally trendy on Spring/Summer 2010 that includes sheer, laces, macrames, one shouldered clothing will also be a must have by then!

City represents the clubwear itself. From the city that never sleeps, literally means partying all night long.

The colors that we will be using are Southern Folk; Vibrant, joyous party tints in slashes of color. Blazing red and deep violet blend with more neutral shades evoking dry, South American landscapes: ochres, clays, beiges, cactus greens.
