“DKNY exhibited their 2013-2014 Fall Winter Womens Runway Collection during New York Fashion Week. On the catwalk ensembles, Donna Karan focused on oversized outerwear coats, parkas, anoraks and bomber jackets.

Alexandre Herchcovitch FALL 2014 READY-TO-WEAR
I would discribe this collection as a whimsical 70’s steampunk badass chick. I liked how instead of pops of colors like most designers were doing, Alexandre Herchcovitch was true to the beauty of solid colors, it stayed true throughout the collection. The styling was unique with wispy hair and bangs. Overall this collection was a great step in a different direction.

Helmut Lang AW14
Comfortable yet dramatically stylish. This collection featured a cheeky lack of heels and oversized sweaters, dresses, and skirts. It had a feel of the rebellious early 2000’s and late 90’s. Texture was definatly the main topic, saturated texture paired with muted colors and simple siluttes makes the texture game do anything it wants. source:

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN SPRING/SUMMER 2014
Steven Kleins new campaign film and photographs for Alexander McQueen, featuring Kate Moss“Inspiration comes from the many progressive art movements of the early Twentieth Century – a mix of primitive shapes, graphic forms and bold colour. There is a suggestion of the clean lines and the dropped waist of the 1920s in places. Kilts, leggings, biker jackets, boxy coats and tunic tops all feature with a nod to uniform and sportswear. Shoulders are relaxed. Inner structures are absent and garments are finished with laser cutting so that they are eased and light. Metal embellishment, jewellery, and aged multiple zip trim are reminiscent of found objects as are heavy bracelets in…

Woman with Muscular Dystrophy applies to be a fashion model, and gets hired.
The world of fashion and modeling is easily seen as the most self damaging, judgmental and malicious. For example the recent interview about the A&F image with the CEO of Aberbrombie & Fitch, Mike Jeffries himself stated: “It’s almost everything. That’s why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don’t market to anyone other than that,” “In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids,” he told the site. “Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a…

Lena Dunham in Vogue, the Issue with the Issue.
Lena Dunham was crowned “THE NEW QUEEN OF COMDEY” by Vogue in their upcoming February issue. Of course, with dubbing Lena that title would come a cover, and on that cover there is her photo, and in that photo comes some controversy. You would think people would be thrilled to have someone seemingly forward thinking and creative gracing the cover of Vogue. As far as celebrities go, we do put Lena Dunham on a relatable and level headed pedestal (Along with Miss Hungergames). The reason for the controversy surrounds the fact of Photoshop, and the issues with projecting false images on other people. Some spectators were shocked that someone so…
