LIM Celebrity Stylist Panel Discussion

New York,NY-LIM College had a panel discussion with stylist June Ambrose, Eric Damon, Mari Senofonte, and Tom Broecker who discussed the life and career of a stylist. 6:30 the room was full with chatter and munching until the stylist sat down and every eye was on them. All having different backgrounds but the passion to bring life to garments make them into one. June discussed branding yourself as a stylist, Tom spoke about the importance between your finances and career, Eric discussed studying the work of others and copying them, and Mari spoke about knowing the amount of your worth, making people feel comfortable around you, and the importance of NO DRAMA!!!
This lecture wasn't only after hours tea but was inspiration to the little girls and boys that dress up in their best clothes, read Vogue, and dreams about the day they would make it to the top! It was an honor to meet these fabulous, educated, and creative group of people that one day i wish to rub elbows with!

D.Dyer

Lanvin Spring 2009

Why i love these looks:

1) the detail to the shoulder is very Elsa Schiaparelli (Do your Fashion Fundamental HW)

2) i love the colors...some of the colors are very warm while others are sharp

3) i love the silhouette...tulip shape just adds more character to the garment

4) the SHOES

Marc Jacobs does it, again!!!

New York,NY. My favorite designer above all, Marc Jacobs, creative designer for Louis Vuitton(1997) did an amazing show for Spring 2009 in Paris on October 5,2008. Having two of his personal labels, Marc Jacobs Collection and Marc by Marc Jacobs ,it is easier for the designer to take his vision to the next level and stamp on a LV logo on it. This collection is very urban/ghetto swing to it but still very high fashion and my favorite is my girls, Chanel Iman & Jourdan Dunn....WORK!!! My personal judgement is A ...just because i love it and none of the collections look alike and ......this not what i would expect of LV thats what makes it sooooo hot!!!
