Lena Dunham was crowned “THE NEW QUEEN OF COMDEY” by Vogue in their upcoming February issue.

As far as celebrities go, we do put Lena Dunham on a relatable and level headed pedestal (Along with Miss Hungergames).

VERSACE AUTUM/WINTER 2014| MILAN FASHION WEEK
With a late 70’s early 80’s rebel feel, the show begins with the famous silk baroque Versace print with a western cowboy twist. Deep jewel tones and dark neutrals filled the runway with endless amounts of various textures, with the most notable being a slick sheen, whether being in the full red leather cowboy outfit or the silk shirts and accessories.
