Winter Kate

Oh, Nicole Richie. How I cherish you from all of your tomfoolery with Paris Hilton. Alas, that is something of the past and you have seemed to get knocked up twice and now a wife-to-be. You seem to have your life on track and have packed up your cooter-flashing ways and now dipping feet into the vast sea of fashion. While I'm sure what you have created is equally as cute as you are, apparently you didn't get the memo where you were.
I'll say the maxi is quite synonymous with your name, but were you aware you left your house in lingerie. Even the best of us could have been confused. Instead of imagining others in their underwear to loosen the nerves, she just took it to a whole new level and reversed the situation. Jokes on us, eh?

Milan

Milan Fashion Week is underway and I want coverage now.  Just Cavalli is said and done and went overkill with patterns. Plaid, animal print, patterns, PATTERNS, PATTERNS. I really like when there is a mix of patterns, when done well. It really hurt my senses. On the plus side, the furs were pretty, but the more subtle ensembles worked it for me. I guess this is what we get from the king of animal prints.

Meanwhile, I’m eagerly awaiting the Prada show. The model line-up is kept under wraps, but it’s rumored that Doutzen, Alessandra, and possibly Miranda Kerr will all be in the show. Meanwhile, someone doesn’t know how to keep a secret. Answer after the cut.

Vogue Turker

Vogue Turkey premiered with it's very first issue.  Thankfully, they got it right.  Vogue Turkey seemed to read my mind as of late and fueled my craving for Jessica Stam.  Stammie is in the category of my top models and it seems as if I won't see her grace the runways unless she's in Paris or Milan which is beyond me.  At least Sasha P gave me face on the NYC runways.  Give me more, Stam, give me more. To see more photos from the exclusive issue, head on over to the source.

Burberry Prorsum

Anyone want to buy me some coats?! Electric blue, please. No, seriously! I would sell myself on the street and cut off my left nut for one...hypothetically speaking, of course. This is what is expected from the company that pioneered and created gabardine. My one remaining ball and I will go swoon over the consistency and new ideas Burberry brings to the table. The studded bags, the lace dresses, the detail with the leather straps...heaven.

If anyone could get me those leather boots with sheepskin that Jeremy Young is wearing, that would be a dream too. If I could pull them off, I'd go for the the thigh-high leather boots.
What I'm trying to get at is that I adore Burberry and always will, even with Hermione taking over the helm from Agyness who took it from my beloved Kate.  I'm just going to suggest Lara Stone or even a little Karlie and Raquel. Get on it, Burberry.
Meanwhile, it's not live anymore, but below is the link to watch the show from London Fall 2010 RTW.

Welcome to Bitch-fest 2010

Rant #1:
You know what girls that really grind my gears? ~~**“A gIrl sHOuLd bE tWo ThiNgs: claSSy aNd faBULous." CoCO chAnEl**~~ I don't even think I need to explain the quote that could be found on many facebooks.  If you're one of them, I have no regrets. Por favor. Consider my eyes rolling. Those girls that claim they know fashion. I'm not claiming I know shit about anything, but come on. They love Chanel, Dolce&Gabbana and Versace. They even name their poor pets after them. You will later find that these are the only labels they really know and they probably couldn't even pick those who design for the labels out from a crowd. I'll tell you, Karl and Donatella would be easy targets with his white hair and her orange skin, and I think this task could even be solved by Snookie and "The Situation" from the Jersey Shore. These folks are not the brightest of the bulbs. I mean come on, "The Situation" struggled naming the four seasons, all of which he's lived through almost 27 times and counting. These two could fist pump their way through this where's Waldo mystery quicker than these girls...now, what were we talking about?
Rant #2:
What in the hell is this?! This shit gets bad.

Sister Blog

Within the day or so, Fashion Senses will either be duplicated on Wordpress.com or I will be posting varying information.  I haven't quite figured out what format I will be taking.  This process is all new and good and I don't want to fuck it up.  Daddy has dreams, baby.

Where the Wild Things Are

At London's fashion week, Topshop Unique let wild inspirations loose down the runway.  Models walked rampant with antlers and distinguished forest animals on their heads.  The show was seemed to be influenced heavily on nature and possibly of fairy tales. 


From knit stockings and whimsical pieces, the furrowed-brow models were donned in items that should be a must in every girl's wardrobe come the turning of the leaves.  The show brought humor and an abundant of texture to please the eyes.  I look forward to see these knit pieces and even the equestrian feel of some of the looks be brought into wardrobes piece by piece.  Topshop Unique is that indeed.   

A Few Fascinations

There are many themes that have stood out to me for Fall 2010 RTW.  My favorite is the romanticism that young designer Jason Wu presented.  For being just under 30, the amount of creativity this man possesses fascinates and enraptures my senses.  Young designers such as him brings a fresh approach to the fashion industry.

Okay, maybe androgyny has been done before.  Sure, YSL did pioneer pants for women, but it's something that Jason Wu has put in his own vision for us all, and has crafted these pieces so extremely well.  

The cigarette burn print on one dress was odd, yet so beautiful at the same time.  He has designed such intricate pieces that are interesting and allows the admirer to find new and more striking details with each and every glance. 

For those who don't agree on the use of fur as glamor, I'll put my second fascination under the cut. 

Label Whores and Designer Sluts

Being in college is no different than being in high school with the trends that come and go.  From boots to tights and leggings, it will never go away.  Why are we such label whores in such a terrible way?  Okay, I have to admit, I enjoy the top labels and quality, but are these essential to my personal style? Not exactly. 

From every sorority girl with their uniform of Coach bag or clutch, Ugg Australia boots paired with black leggings, why are labels such as these "trendy" among groups.  Having Coach doesn't set these girls apart from any other girl.  Besides, I'll own up to my own wallet that has the monogram stitched right in.  I love nice things, but I think many seriously purchase or have daddy purchase to create the feeling of belonging to a group.  That is why we shopped at Hollister Co. in middle and high school, right?  Right?

Let me add something else to this subject.  I'm at a bar and there were guys getting the labels of the underwear other guys wore.  Oh, the mighty snobby gays.  They were dismayed when one did not wear a label that matched Emporio Armani.  I'll take my H&M underwear, thank you.  People like this are often confused with what is fashionable.  The labels don't make you look good, the way you put it all together does.  They can take their jeans that were too tight and continue dressing in the dark.  People struggle with a sense of how to put items together and to make clothes a fashionable look.  Everyone doesn't have to dress alike and I do urge everyone to put their own personality in their clothes, but the way you dress really can define who you are and what your personality is like.  

Have fun and enjoy clothes.  Express yourself.  Labels aren't everything. Show a sign of confidence in whatever you wear.

"The September Issue"

I just viewed "The September Issue" and it just proved what power Anna Wintour holds within the fashion industry as a whole. Anna is editor-in-chief of American Vogue not one single person matches the amount of power and domination that she possesses in the fashion industry and how we are just the helpless minions under her power and doom. I kid, really. 

The documentary follows the creation of the September 2007 issue of Vogue and takes you on such a wild ride with the behind the scenes of wardrobe selection, cover-girl issues, and a fly on the wall view of her meetings with the top designers in the industry that shows you just how much of an influence this woman has.  

I suggest this to anyone who is even vaguely familiar with the world of fashion and you might just come back with more respect than you might think you could ever have for this woman and this industry.

Hi, my name is Zach and I'm an alcoholic...

For those who know me, you know I am not much for an introduction of either myself or anyone else. Let's make this short but sweet. I adore the fashion industry and the art world alike. I create, admire, read, and obsess over it all. I am a very arts-y person and paint and use different mediums from time to time. You'll find there is a theme that presents itself in all of my works. Fashion. "Walk, walk fashion baby, work it, move that bitch crazy," in the words of Lady Gaga. I'll occasionally post my work, but that's for another time and occasion.

I'll watch the many styles and trends and speak about how I feel about them as I progress with this blog. I'll bring up topics that arise and discuss and hopefully get input from whatever readers I can gain, both negative and positive. Hit me with your best shot, baby. I am but 21 years old and a male and the way I dress and express myself has evolved quickly for better and for worse. I'll share my opinions and well, they're just that. My opinions. Take them for what they're worth, because this is just a wee blog in the same field as many before and many that will come after.

Let's skip the rest, fasten your seatbelts, and enjoy the ride.
