martinMARTIN show. LA Fashion Week A/W 2010



(Vintage lace top, Bergerley London leather pants, We Who See black suede wedges, XXI studded belt, vintage leather studded bag.)


The show was held downtown at the Spring Art Tower. I'm kind of sad with the loss of interest and funding of LA fashion week, I know it doesn't have a light in the dark compared to Paris or Milan but there is still plenty of emerging talent in the city! Anyways..enough about that. I loved the darkness of the collection. 

Some of my favorite looks:













I also stayed for the Battalion show and the Skingraft presentation!
Skingraft had a sheep-skin skirt that was absolutely stunning, I wanted to rip it off the model! Sooooooo gorgeous! And the new silhouette of the new wedge this season is kick-ass! Pictures soon!

Some more photos came in from one of my shoots done recently, I am really happy with the newest photo!

I'm loving spring break! Being home with my family back in the south has been a nice change from the busy, never ending traffic and constant pace of life back in LA. Off to meet friends for a late lunch!

Ciao!

GOD SAVE MCQUEEN!

THE FINAL COLLECTION:
































The final show from the late Alexander McQueen was shown at a private viewing in Paris on March 9, 2010. With many references to skulls, angels, and religious iconography of the medieval times, McQueen created a collection of elegance and romanticism with influence of the Dark Ages and the silhouettes of the many periods of women before us. He also took to reference of many of his past collections and used collaboration for those in a more poetic justice for the his latest pieces. Some say there is ironic relevance to the recent events and his final collection. I almost feel like it's a stage of life from birth to death carrying on into afterlife with the choice of hues and many ornate details. The pieces were 80% completed at his time of death and at the presentation. I think if any, this collection established his well being of a couturier and really left his imprint on the fashion world.

LATEST AND FINAL HIGHLIGHTS OF PARIS FASHION WEEK A/W 2010:

WINTER WONDERLAND @ CHANEL 







I'm obsessed with the ice cube clad purses and ice block booted heels. Chanel is all about the details, and this collection sure follows what they're famous for. Branding and marketing Coco in any weather!

THE AVENGERS MEET PARIS @ HERMES:









I loved this entire collection. I could dress like this every day if I had the means to own a wardrobe full of Hermes. Beautiful cuts! Very sleek and I love the whole persona they are giving off with this season.

FLOWY & FLIRTY @ VALENTINO:




Refined taste meets Parisian fashion - Valentino



I'm loving these pumps! They would look fabulous in complete nude hues!

DARK, ROMANTIC ACCENTS @ TALBOT RUNHOF:






Well thats it for now --Back to studying for finals! Spring break next week! Going to the South to visit family!

Ciao!
