Look alikes

I went into Gap recently and I saw this men's sweater...When I saw it I thought it looked vintage right away and that it looked like it was from the 1920s. It reminded me of old letterman sweaters or just sweaters in general in the that era made for men.

Moving Backward

Is Madonna's look coming back? ...Apparently her daughter thinks so! Here, they are pictured at the Nine premiere.  Her look screams 1980's with a touch of the 1990's  where the Doc Martens were paired with a skirt or anything else for that matter. Well why shouldn't her look return..it seems like everything from over 20 years ago has...we got the skinny jeans, leggings, bat wing blouses, jumpsuits, fingerless gloves, shoulder pads, ankle boots, leg warmers..oh and the jewelry.




I don't mind most of these looks, mostly because by time I cared about what I wore the 80's were long gone and these items were out of style.... so they are new again. ...Just leave the Mullets behind!

Avedon

Last week my novio and I were able to visit the Avedon fashion photograph exhibit at the local institute of art. I thought the photos were interesting and classic. Mr. Avedon worked for many magazines like Vogue, the New Yorker, and Harper's Bazzar. He started his career at the ripe age of 23. I enjoyed his early work but by the 1990s and early 2000's his work began to look less classic ..maybe it was the lack of black and white photos. The black and white effect brings something great to photos. I also think this because the photos have more nudity and are more morbid. He has his models pose with skeletons..I do like that those photos kind of tell a story but it's not my style. The model on the far right is Donyale Luna, a Detroit native! Overall the pics are glamorous and depict beautiful clothing through different time periods.

NYC

Hopefully I will be in New York this summer! The plan is that I will be taking classes there, at museums, and theatres. I can't wait to see the sites and anything to do with fashion, art, and learning! It's so awesome to be able to go there, not only to see the tourists spots but to also further my education. I can't wait to learn hands on and not out of a textbook. Seeing what the big apple has to offer is a great opportunity. I will keep my journey posted if all my plans work out.
