The Oolah in the Moolah.

I've been so busy at design college! Not getting enough time to blog! But I assure you... My fashion journal is keeping up way too well. I will put up the pictures pretty soon. :)
Whoever said college life would be the best years of my life must not have attended college... or maybe a fashion college to be precise!
Running my Brother (*ahem* the meanie) my vision starts blurring. I realise that maybe the pattern's traced too dark... But then it hits me. The stupid shoulder yoked baby doll top I'm making... is just a tiny grain in the sand... (not to mention its so-five-years-ago... and just boring RTW) I want to make SO MUCH MORE! I guess I'm just NOT a RTW kind of a person! :P Is that bad? Well, here is the sketch of the top I made...

...this Fashion Demon is just HUNGRY...


So I made this in my Fashion Illustration class:

It's made using Chinese ink... specifying specific areas of light and dark. I like this kind of art... Reminds me of Lino-cut... :) (The girl is wearing a Chanel fur coat...haha)

Speaking of Chanel, OMG did you see the ad campaign?? That is so unusual of Lagerfeld... Inès de la Fressange (the original Coco muse, walked the Chanel runway for 21 years!), Stella Tennant, Freja Beha Erichsen, and Baptiste Giabiconi getting it all right... (Freja is my favourite always though. ^_^)... Lagerfeld dropped the typical sophisticated look and this time kept it pretty simple... Like someone clicking pictures at a Sunday brunch... (And oh, the biker boots are intriguing... I mean really.)

One ad campaign I wasn't a fan of was of Louis Vuitton... just like the Fall 2010 ad, it has 3 generations of models (Kristen McMenamy, Raquel Zimmermann, and Freja Beha Erichsen)

1.It's gaudy

2.The pictures are chaotic. In a bad way.

3.Why couldn't they do something more different?

4.The looks for all the shots are pretty similar.

I do however like the sets... and the orientalism of the whole thing... and the Normatal Madge-ish hairstyles+looks... AND the fans! :)

And finally! I had to upload this one because she is my favourite!! Leighton Meester for Missoni... 

Everyone knows that she is my muse... And I love the Missoni ad campaign... (Just like Blake lively is the new face of Chanel...)..

The ad is inspired by The Beatles's St.Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover... L.O.V.E.

That's all folks!

A New Beginning: Time to let it go!

2010 wasn't exactly my favorite year. It was one of my worst times ever! I had my first ever heart break. I loved the man very much but it's safe to say that he SOOOOO wasn't worth all the trouble. My close friend Meggna was involved in a car accident. And a few of my toughest decisions were made which ultimately proved disastrous!

The only comfort I had was work, my family and Gaga! :)
So here's to a new beginning!

This post involves some of my favorite designers work/inspirational people in 2010. I sketched and edited them myself. They are basically stylized figures. A few of you may find it disturbing, but I guess it's the only way I can get rid of the ghosts from my past. I hope all the negativity of 2010 does not follow me any longer.

VIKTOR AND ROLF

I love art. In every form and way. And V&R made a huge impact on me. This is one of my favourites from their Spring/Summer 2010. What a concept!! I wish I could get into their brain and just see where all this comes from. It is by far one of the best shows I've seen. I have great respect for the duo.. I respect anyone who is a patron of art... :)

GARETH PUGH

I've been following the Brit fashion designer's works since the 2006 London Fashion Week. I would say: Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, Viv Westwood... HE'S IN THE LEAGUE OF THESE GREAT THINKERS. He's the reason why I want to apply for Postgrads at Central Saint Martins. I remember sitting in front of the television and watching in awe, as this piece of art, strutted down a runway in Fall 2006. It looked like one of those poodles you make out of balloons. It was black. Dark. Just like Pugh is. Oozing with rebellious ideas.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

I woke up on 11th February 2010 and heard the most horrible thing. He died. The reason for all my creativity. He  inspired me to such an extent that I knew I had to realise my dreams at any cost. I wanted to be just like him. No one can replace him.  No one else could combine drama and elegance the way he did.

VALENTINO

I was watching the Fall 2010 Couture show on television... Nice soft feminine... Cute... FLOWY.. and then BOOM! Structure-Structure-Structure!! At that moment I realised that may be Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli aren't doing that bad a job as I thought... I still love Valentino... and everything connected to it. :)

LADY GAGA

Straight from the Haus of Gaga... :) No one can inspire me the way she does. When I listen to her, see her pictures and videos, my creativity gets a high. It's like I'm on GagaHash! She leaves me speechless. <3

A Very Happy New Year Everybody! Keep reading and commenting! Appreciate it all! :)

Fashion. Love. Peace. <3
