Falling Runway Models



Ohhhh, How I feel for them!!! This poor model took a tumble at the Marc by Marc Jacobs fashion show that took place earlier this week. I can honestly relate to this poor woman, I have fallen in many places, ranging from downtown San Francisco, to the Choir room in high school, to numerous bars.

This model does have an excuse though!!! Marc Jacobs does like to put his models in some bizarre shoes, with weird heels and intense hights. I am not surpirsed more of them haven't fallen. If you have seen the Marc Jacobs documentary then you have see the behind the scenes of how the models are treated. It is crazy they have to walk around in those rediculous shoes for hours on end. I guess this model just wanted to take a break and hit the floor!!! (I don't blame her!!)


RIP ALEXANDER MCQUEEN


I know I am a little late on this (I have been out of town), but I would just like to pay my respect to an amazing fashion designer: Alexander McQueen. He had an amazing talent, and he definitely knew how to make a woman's body look amazing. His creations were seen on many celebrities such as: Sarah Jessica Parker, Sandra Bullock, and many more. He sure will be missed the fashion industry.

The New FAD!!

(picture taken from: pajamagrams)

Okay Girls!!! The replacement for the Snuggie has hit our local drug stores!!! PAJAMAJEANS-- you know you want a pair. Americans today are know for dressing extremely casual. The typical American out fit consists on jeans, a tank top, sweater (if it is cold), and flip flops! Teenagers, can be seen in PJ pants, (well basically what they wore to bed)at school, the mall, and movies. Well the makers of PajamaJeans combined the two so now we can feel comfortable in jeans. Apparently A woman can be casual and comfortable in these hideous so called sweats!

Okay I might of gone as far as buying a Snuggie, but first of all it was a gift and its keeps me warm. I would never been seen in public wearing it. Oh wait, I wore it at work, but I was working an overnighter and it gets cold!!!

Dresses made from Condoms--

What an interesting concept, definitely very creative, but at the same time kind of disturbing. The Museum of Sex celebrates condoms, and produces gowns made of hand died condoms. Some dresses hold over 1,200 condoms, lots of work must of gone into them props goes to the designers!!!! If you are in the Manhattan area go take a look at this exhibit labeled "Rubbers!!"

About Me

Hi My name is Zoe!!! I have decided I would try this blog thing out. I have just recently graduated from the Academy of Art in San Francisco. I majored in the fast pace industry of fashion, and am so glad I followed my dream!! I am currently working for Gap, and love my job and the company!! Within the next ten years I hope to open my own boutique, but have no idea who I want to cater too. I did want to go into Bridal, but I have been going back and forth on that idea.

For all those people who think majoring in an art is a load of rubbish, little do you know. Fashion can be seen in all aspects of your life. A famous fashion designer once said: "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening," Coco Chanel. Fashion is an inspiration to us all, we can express how we feel by the way we dress, or even what kind of groups we want to be associated with.

Fashion does have its Faux Pas moments: such as the Louis Vuitton Garbage Bag priced at $1960 (photo credit- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/05/louis-vuittons-1960-trash_n_451051.html)

Would you buy this hideous thing??? How ridiculous can you be to but this, If you really want this then go to your local Target buy a box of trash bags, stencil the LV logo on, add a leather strap, and there you go a $1960 handb
ag!!!!! Marc Jacobs has disappointed me on this one.


Did anyone see Rihanna's nightmare of an outfit (the one legged catsuit)....oHHH MYYY need I say more. (photo credit- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/05/rihanna-dons-one-leg-cats_n_450853.html)

Okay enough of the fashion mistakes!!!!

Stay tuned for more life mistakes, fashion must haves, fashion faux pas!!
