Fashion Week Picks

So, I've narrowed it down to three collections to choose from for the scholarship gala project. That is, thus far...

Roksanda Ilincic

Peter Som

Erdem

I'm a fan of lots of color and texture. It's more fun to illustrate! I'll make my final decision by the end of the quarter (2 weeks-ahhh!).

Until next post,

A tribute to (Lee) Alexander McQueen. May he rest in peace now. His genius will be missed greatly.

Anticipation

This is just a quick post to share with you

c) an upcoming project related to Fashion Week:

The project: I'm working on creating a line up (or 2) of fashion sketches for a scholarship gala in Atlanta due in March. The snazzy peeps of Atlanta come see the show, buy art, and the money goes to SCAD scholarships.

The Fashion Week part: I'll be checking daily for the reviews of the fabulousness seen in the tents and pick some looks from 1 or 2 of my favorite Fall collections to illustrate for the project! Updates? You'll get 'em!

ello love!

New York Fashion Week is almost here! I feel for the designers rushing about to finish up their last details and all those trying to get this huge event ready! Thursday is the premiere day and as much as I would DIE to be there, I'll have to settle for runway photos on the internet.

Above are some of my favorites from the Shipley and Halmos Fall 2010 collection which has already debuted sans the Bryant Park tent frenzy. The collection is so minimal and so succinct. It's what I feel a lot of women want in their closet (at least this one does!). It just oozes with modernity and functionality. Simple and chic never looked so right!

The cravings of fashion

Dolce and Gabbana Spring 2010

1) Loving Dolce and Gabbana's Victorian lace looks with an added edge from the Spring 2010 shows. Heads up: legs have been very trendy this year at fashion week. Sheers and high-waisted "bloomers" are to blame. Body conscious, anyone?

2) Paris Fashion Week is next on the menu for all those hungry for the latest in fashion. Check out the schedule at the link below. I'll be living vicariously through those fortunate enough to attend:

3) I've been itching to sketch, but when I put pencil to paper nothing really inspires me. Inspiration jumpstart found:

This week's challenge (amongst those that occur daily): What I Wore today drawings. I'll post here and in the What I Wore Today Flickr pool. Yeah, I'll start that tonight.
