Last weeks show on March 3rd

Last week on March 3rd, I had the opportunity to attend Montreal fashion week. I

enjoyed the three shows and developed a new appreciation and understanding for the world of

fashion. Designers are as follows; Dinh Ba Design-Muse par Chritian-Body Bad By Jude&

J.u.de and two on March 4 Ralph Leroy and Myco Anna. The experience was enlightening

because I was surrounded by the rich and fashionable. The feeling is invigorating, making you

feel like your apart of their world receiving free mascara which I took home. Having wine

alongside these people which was enjoyable. I enjoyed the experience of seeing the designer

work before completion. I saw how the clothing will look before the finish product hit’s the

shelves. Seeing the designers face at the end you could see that they are proud of their work. In

my opinion, the most enjoyable show was the Ralph Leroy show. I’m a bit bias because I have a

preference to male models but in addition I found the clothing very nice, I‘m a big fan of men’s

clothing and I’ve worked in a men’s department store called Simons for 3-4 years. The colored

outfits used for example yellow top with the red tie, and blue shoes really got my attention and

the hats that were worn by the male models are quite stylish considering I have a bit of an

obsession with hats. The top less model had some appeal. There was about two of them. One

wore red pants and the other white pants. The model in white turned a lot of heads including

my own. I know I wasn’t the only one enjoying, a lot of people wear snapping photos. I hope

everyone that saw the show enjoyed it as much as I did!

Montreal Fashion Week.

One of my favourite shows was Ralph Leroy. While I wasn't distracted by the model with the adorable red hair I was admiring the collection. I especially loved the tailored suits and practical coats. I loved how everything fit together. One thing I didn't like though was the LACE long sleeve top a model came out with OUT OF NOWHERE. Very Scary.

Can't wait for next year! :)

Cet article, rejoint de prêt le projet sur lequel nous travaillons en équipe soit : Harricana (fourrure recyclée).

Cela concerne la discorde qui existe entre le monde de la mode et la tuerie d’animaux pour leur peau.

Pour moi, il y a une différence entre tuer un animal et le faire souffrir. La façon utilisée par certains braconniers est une touture animalière qui ne devrait même pas exister à notre époque, surtout avec toutes les techniques dont nous disposons. Se sont eux les nouvelles victimes de la mode.

Avant de vous pavaner avec de la fourrure, pensez-y!

Montreal Fashion Week???

Nothing on Montreal Fashion Week, why? A bumped into many of you over the four days of Montreal Fashion Week, but yet nothing has appeared on the blog. I was hoping you could articulate your experience and share it with the others that were not able to be there.

I invite you to visit montrealfashionweek.ca.

Rien sur la Semaine de mode de Montréal

Je suis surpris et déçu. J'ai croisé plusieurs d'entre vous à la Semaine de mode de Montréal mais rien n'a été inscrit sur le blog. Vous êtes prompts à commenter les défilés d'ailleurs mais rien sur ce qui se passe ici à Montréal. 

Je vous invite à aller visiter le site semainemodemontreal.ca.

beautiful junkies.

After lasts class debate on the concept of our very own anticipated fashion show, i was inspired to somewhat create or introduce the ideas of what some of us in class were explaining. Katias vision of the "beautiful decay" was one i too considered to be a good concept. the idea of the beautiful woman, who is a complete disaster inside, is something i do find intriguing. I find it sort of glamorous, how a woman sometimes so well composed and poised outside, lives in complete debauchery on the inside. On the exterior, a beautiful woman with everything, yet with nothing inside. is this all due to their huge spotlight under the medias eye, or the constant loneliness once it's gone? or can it be the moutains of cash they sit under that gives them priviledge to burn it all on nights of complete insanity, because they just can? its a mystery on it's own, and that is the beauty of it. weither it's the partying lifestyle or the lonely house wife with a few pills or grams of her favorite knockout drug, this is an ode to everything the junkie desires. these are the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

So i have decided to come up with a few examples of the woman junkie, that will maybe clarify the vision and direction. One of my favorites, is Kimber from Nip/Tuck. She continuously struggles with vanity and her own obsessions. here is a little video of an episode, where cocaine addict kimber, binges. The music in the background is also something i find, that goes well and also can be used if the idea falls through for the fashion show.

Amongst the celebrities, i find Lindsay Lohan to also be a good candidate. There is something amusing about her damaged days of alcohol abuse and coke escapades in the bathroom. i very much like her own sense of style and i love how she always seems to draw all kinds of attention to her name.

Muse in the fashion industry, Kate Moss, is another coke binging hero who has been scrutinized for her chaotic behavior off the runway. Yet, both of these women remain popular and remain icons in their industries.

Another icon who evidently had some influence in creating the chic boho look, is Mary-Kate Olsen. with her over sized garments and vintage pieces, she has made village des valeurs seem like the trendiest place to shop. Aside her history of anorexia and drugs, this olsen twin definetly has the ability and eye to muster up all eccentric articles of clothing and accesories together.

Regardless of who makes the list, these women share a common ground, they are beautiful, sexy, raw and rich. somethings we all just envy a little, right?

American Beauty Association (ABA)

I was a model for the ABA today, and so since it is so fresh in my mind I will decide to blog about this. Its a show for all hair gurus to join together and show their latest styles, and ideas. I lose time to time that there is a place in the world for everyone. No one is alone weather it be about hair, or a n ant craze. There is always going to be people who will have the same interests as you, there were so many people at this event that was held at the Palais Des Congres, it was quite amazing to see how many people are into "Hair Fashion."
