Icons of Fashion




















My trip to London, I spent the majority of my money in the museums bookstore where you get the most amazing books! I miss you, London!
One of the books, Icons of Fashion :The 20th Century by Prestel publication and edited by Gerda Buxbaum is about fashion from 1800s and how they describes "woman as flowers" to "New Millennium" is a decade all about excess which is very true! Its time to get back to basics of fashion!

Black Italia


I am a fan of Vogue and other high fashion publications but i am very offended about the whole "Black Italia"! This should not be a big subject on every blog or website but it should be a regular thing in magazines and runways to see African American models! What makes it worst that it was an undercover thing until Obama really became a factor in the presidential race! Is it now that people realize that there is no black faces...sorry that it foolishness!
I am a fashion student and this is a lack for color in my classroom! People don't realize that black has always and will always be beautiful! How can you look at a beautiful sister, with a shape as a Coca Cola body, and with beautiful hair and call her ugly!
This is why the baddest super models of all time is black models...really how many girls you know that can walk like Naomi, have the bone structure like Iman, or even have lips like Chanel Iman?
Even the late YSL famously said that "My dream woman is Iman" and she was the house model for Yves Saint Laurent's African Queen couture collection.
I hope this whole black vogue thing would not be a fad but it will turn into a classic thing to have more black faces.

RIP YSL


Designer, Yves Henri Donat Dave Mathieu-Saint-Laurent was born August 1, 1936 and passed away today at the age of 71. Mr. Laurent passed away in his Paris home and if you do not know who YSL is...well he is the designer for YSL!
Important Information about Mr. Saint-Laurent
During the 1960s and 1970s, the firm popularized fashion trends such as the beatnik look, safari jackets for men and women, tight pants and tall, thigh-high boots, including the creation of arguably the most famous classic tuxedo suit for women in 1966, Le Smoking suit.

I have not found out what was the cause of his death but i send my regards to the Saint-Laurent family!
