Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2010

Hello Fashion Dolls,

I have been currently busy with school and flat patterns and making bodices and sketching and... I can go on for days! I am currently doing research on Alexander McQueen and Iris Van Herpen and just watching past awesome fashion shows.. My collection theme for Monday's basic drawing class is African Safari in the North Pole meets Cirque Du Soliel  . We have to create lingerie or evening and bridal wear that has camouflage and animal prints. It's fucking insane and out of the box but I will def rock it! 
I picked Alexander McQueen and Iris Van Herpen to gather ideas from because I am absolutely inspired by their fashion shows. Undoubtedly risky, they both are, yet still uncovers function in fashion that is wearable in most cases and exhibits confidence and vulnerability. Simple. Clean. Direct. With IFY models.

A Rainbow of Pastels, from left to right: Jason Wu, Prabal Gurung, and Rebecca Taylor.

There is something about a clean, soft pastel in Spring that gives the season a more lively, and soothing feeling to it. I absolutely love soft colors in the Spring, most of all a mixing and matching with different soft, cool, neutral hues. Pastels can make anything look brighter and more feminine. if you're not yet comfortable with pairing different variations of pastel colors, its perfectly fine.. choose one that stands out and makes the outfit Pop! color-blocking is currently still "in" and is still definitely a trend seen everywhere.

Crop Top x Alexander Wang

The Crop Top Trend will Never die, no matter what season. We've seen celebs from Miley Cyrus to Rihanna Rock this, in their own fashionable way. The secret into wearing crop top trend, i will share with you: Less skin shown, the better! Just because its actually cropped, doesn't mean -bare midriffs-

pair this top with a high-waisted jean or midi skirt. "less about the stomach, more about the waist."

The Jumpsuit, one of the most easiest clothing to be worn. You shouldn't have to worry about mixing or matching, or over the top accessory, especially in a denim piece. For spring,  select a more vibrant color or a bold solid color to brighten up your outfit. We are seeing this retro 70's trend come back to life on the Red Carpet and even as the "hot new wedding dress trend".
