Let's Talk About This For a Minute...

Right off the bat the eye-wear is an attention grabber and then my view went directly to the wonderful cigarette trouser that is cut to perfection(which I tried on today and they are honestly the best trouser I've ever worn) and has a silhouette that commands attention in ever environment. 

Alexander Wang's' capability to create such a beautiful harmony between everyday and luxury styles is something to speak about.

I got to check out some Alexander Wang Pre-Fall 2010 pieces today and I will personally say that his designs are some of the most chic and refined pieces in stores today. My good friend and I went down to Jinny boutique(http://shopjinny.com/) today to spend some remaining Christmas money and boy did we. After a fun time playing dress up with Kimi in the store we had come to the conclusion that the cigarette trouser and a skillfully draped sweater from Wang's 2010 F/W collection were leaving the store with us. 

Then on top of the wonderful Alexander Wang pieces, Brooke was able to find a GREAT Phillip Lim top that will go flawlessly with the trouser. So overall a great start to the new year, and the best part about the whole thing is that the trousers fit me too!!! 

Happy New Year Everyone   

It's All About Taste...

          

           I cannot describe the feeling and magic that comes from a catwalk show where the most elite of models glide down the runway, bringing to life a vision that was created under passionate minds and hands. However, I can describe the feeling that comes from walking into your favorite downtown boutique and trying on all the latest fashions...LOL!!! 

           Sometimes when I'm browsing the racks in one of my favorite boutiques (ehemmmm like Jinny Boutique http://shopjinny.com/!!!)I get a little smile on my face and people ask me whats so funny. I can only answer so truthfully to tell them that you know that feeling you get when you find out something wonderful just happened in the world, or something happens to you that makes a smile last awhile, thats how I feel when I get those blessed opportunity's to lay my hands on beautifully crafted clothing. I feel the intention behind the garment, how it transforms the individual into something spectacular, and whats even more exciting is watching the lasting smiles on the faces of the individuals who purchase the works of art. 

            Fashion captivates me, it can transport me into this state of mind that is so focused and so dedicated to the creation of a fashion. At the end of the day I understand that you need to sell to stay fed, however the next morning I'm ready to do it all again for free.  

Steady Hand and Good Balance...

My good friends Mags and Mel worked hand in hand on a wonderful project of mine last year. We came together to create images that we're entirely based around the understanding of color. These are some images that I really enjoyed from this portion of the project but were not submitted at the end of the day. However I believe that these two images best represent the natural talents and skills of the wonderful young women that I worked with.

gotta love your friends... 

Its wonderful how ideas come about for people...

One night I was looking at these two pieces of cream and black lace that I had lying in a fabric bin, when I turned and said to my friend Mags, "hey wouldn't it be fun if we took these two pieces of fabrics and blended them together to make a dress?" she replied with, "what are we waiting for lets do it!" after about 2 hours of draping, and pinning we had a design up on the form.

This is what we have so far its defiantly still in a rough state, but once we get everything in place and all sewn up we have a custom garment ready for shoot. Like I was saying its wonderful how our ideas come to us.

 

Our Graphic Nature...

So Far, So Good...

This summer has been like no other to date. The daily stresses stay the same with home life and a new job, however this summer has been especially different on a personal level. I finally grew some balls and made a decision that I know I will never look back on in twenty years, and say why the hell I ever thought I could do this. The tone is different and a mood has been set into motion in my life once again. The doubt and fear of failing is there, and it’s stronger than ever, however like I said the tone is different now, and the mood has been set. This will be the first time in my entire life that I will fully invest in a passion that has been burning deep inside for quite sometime.

Last year I started this blog all in fun, but this year Visual Proposals is back with a new approach, there’s no doubt that it will still be fun, but its time to create, and become something significant.
