I Love...Christian Siriano

Chrisitian Siriano is working on his next fall line, and if you saw his Spring 2010, it’s sure to be a good one. He says that it will be “very dark – that’s the only thing we’re going with right now.” That seems to be a recurring trend each fall: dark, neutral colors. “It’s very gothic, kind of like a swamp, but we wanted it to be really feminine.” Personally, I don’t want to be wearing anything swamp-ish (mostly because I go to Florida State, booo Gators), but if Christian Siriano says it’s going to be good, I believe him.

Siriano is also busy with a spinoff reality show for Bravo. Um, why am I just finding out about this? But the show, which is untitled for now, is said to follow him during the creation of his spring 2010 and fall 2010 lines. He states, “it’s very like The September Issue, very Valentino [The Last Emperor]. We want it to be as real as possible.” Well, if it’s anything like those, count me in. He continues, “I think it’s best to be as normal as possible, and luckily, I just happen to be entertaining already.” The show is said to be documentary-style and feature him being “serious” and even talking to the camera. I love this guy.

She by Sheree At Fashion Week

So fashion week came and went. I updated on the trends I recognized and loved for the Spring 2010 Ready-to-wear lines, most of them were fabulous. And after looking over them again, I still believe that Charlotte Ronson was definitely one of my favorite. But, I have to add to the list Oscar de la Renta and Christian Siriano; I thought they were elegant and really made a statement.

HOWEVER...

All of my people who watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta might have known that our girl Sheree had her line, She By Sheree shown at fashion week....pause.

This is another one of those things that makes me mad. There are designers, REAL DESIGNERS, who are fighting and working hard everyday of their lives to one day be shown at Bryant Park. Being that's been their dream since, EVER. And this chica, Sheree, is at fashion week with no ease? Like it's any other week out the year, no biggie. Wow. Shows you money really does equal power and completely ignoring real talent. But, after looking at the garments she put out during fashion week, they weren't all too horrible.

Ironically, I think she looks the worst compared to all the other designs. It ages her like 30 years. And isn't it funny how she talked so bad about Lisa's jumpsuit during the episode when Lisa was revealing her line, and yet she made an almost identical jumpsuit just in a different color? Things that make you go hmmmm....

New York Fashion Week!

Hello all!

Sorry I haven't been updating like I should. I've been moving (drove from NYC to DC to ATL to FLA in a weeks period) and getting settled in school (boooooo!). But there is some exciting news...drum roll...FASHION WEEK STARTS NEXT WEEK! YAYYYYY! Beginning Thursday, September 8 at 9am Michael Angel will be kicking off fashion week followed by one of my favorites, BCBG Max Azria. The day will be pretty long, not ending until 9pm but it looks as if a lot of great designers will be showing and I'm excited to see what pops up on style.com after said shows. Some of the shows I personally am excited to see through the week are:

Friday: Jason Wu, 3.1 Phillip Lim Menswear

Saturday: Christian Siriano, Alexander Wang,

Sunday: Lela Rose (I actually met her!), DVF, Rachel Roy

Pretty good line-up for the upcoming spring collections, I can't wait! Sidenote: if any one watches Real Housewives of Atlanta, ya girl Sheree will be showing her She by Sheree line on Sunday...I'm truly afraid of what it's going to look like. But we'll see!
