I like clothes that fit loosely. I have always been a fan of draped costumes and it seems as though clothing is starting to move towards that idea.

I like all sorts of clothes.

yes i do.

The power of a pink lip.

Working Girl: Tribute to Ann Roth, padded shoulders, amazing costume renderings

Back when I was in college at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MADSION I was in a class with Gail Brassard, a very witty and talented costume designer and professor. Our first project was to adapt Working Girl; the 1988 classic with Melanie Griffith and Segourney Weaver.

The costumes were done by the amazingly talented Ann Roth. Ugh. I. Love. Her. Here are a few pictures of the mastermind...

Always the trend setter.

One of her costume renderings for Kate Winslet in The Reader.

Wide legged and bushy tailed.

Fashion works in cycles; seemed only natural that skinny jeans would be something of the past while wide-legged jeans popularized in the 1970's would come back to us all. Kate Moss started knocking around in her "elephant leg" pants a few years ago.
And let's be honest, we were all jealous of the girls in Dazed and Confused .

Rebecca Taylor's Spring RTW collection has some nice interpretations of the wide-leg.

And of course, Chanel would have a word on this matter. Love the bead work. Love the outgrowth of blonde highlights. Love. Love. Love.

Biba's 2008 RTW Collection. Pure poetry, even now.

I like to style photos

I like to draw

I bought the wrong V

I haven't written in over a month. I've been in between jobs, trying to figure out my life. I'll have you know I have a new job but I still don't know what I'm doing with my life...
On a different note, I visited the newsstand on Larchmont (one of my personal favorites, because how can someone not like Larchmont? It's the perfect combination of yuppie, family-oriented, and euro-fab) I walked down the street peering until I came to the glorious cover of Gaga and Marc, Marc Jacobs that is. Anything Marc will stop me dead in my tracks--there is a billboard on Melrose over by his store of Marc without a shirt on (by golly he sure looks pretty). After my $10 purchase, which is pretty reasonable these days, I grabbed a cup of coffee and a chocolate scone. After my first sip of coffee and bit of scone I started leafing through the magazine, awing over the glossy pictures editorial photos. It wasn't until my second look through that I noticed my "V" was in Spanish. F*CK. I mean it's not that big of a deal because thankfully this magazine has a lot of photos, however there is an article with Woody Allen and I would really like to read, but guess who forgot to take the receipt? Yep, yours truly.
Moving on.
I also watched "The Big Picture", with Kevin Bacon, Teri Hatcher and Jenifer Jason Leigh, directed by Christopher Guest.

The costumes in this movie are so amazing and relative to this prairie girl/80's rocker theme we have going on at the moment.
