"MAN ON THE STREET"

For this blog I decided to observe people on campus who I thought were fashionable in their own way; and I came up with three totally different looks.

This first look can be described as in between casual and sporty.  The Black Label track jacket picks up the black and pink colors on the white printed tee; this jacket also blends well with the dark wash jeans-slightly stressed at the pockets.  The pink and white tank top gives the overall outfit a layered look, which is definitely in style.  The pink earrings are a "must have" accessory because they keep the color scheme consistent.  This person's style says casual, which is appropriate for a fun night out on the town.

The next look is quite different from the first one, this ensemble was inspired by the late Michael Jackson.  The vibrant red vest accents the big gold glasses and black boots.  The red vest is definitely a fashion "do" because it adds flavor to this trendy look.  This person's style is inspired by many fashion designers, celebrities, and entertainers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Kanye West, and Grace Coddington. 

This last outfit is all about being comfortable.  The basic, fitted, purple tee and skinny jeans, accompanied by the big black purse is a reflection of a laid back, simple-but cute style.  The black purse is  a fashion "do" because it gives the outfit a dressy feel to it, but does not take away from the casual feel of the outfit.  This look is perfect for outdoor activities, such as football games, picnics, etc.   

NYC Fashion Week- 9/6-9/11

Anybody who is into fashion knows about New York City's fashion week.  So far, the best invites have been DKNY, Mulberry, and  Betsy Johnson, just to name a few.  Some other well known fashion designers that will be featured this week are: Gucci, Chanel, and Bebe, which happen to be my three favorite designers.  The photo to my left is an ensemble for the runway designed by Bebe,this sophisticated, yet still dressy/casual look can be achieved inexpensively; a quick shopping trip to forever 21 will take care of the pink leggings, black and white sequence top, black belt, shorts, and hills all for under $100.  In the past, Bebe was known for high-end fabrics and design elements to create her styles. Her new PiNKiTUDE line, which is inspired by MGM's pink panther will be featured at fashion week.  The signature series is expected to be the highlight of future designs by Bebe. This is only the second day of fashion week in New York, I'm sure there will be more fashion to come as this week continues to unfold.

What is fashion?

In my opinion, fashion cannot be explained or defined by some text book definition.  True fashion is a representation of personal style and self-expression through clothing; How a person chooses to wear an outfit, rather they prefer to tie their shoe strings, or let them hang, wearing a belt with a pair of jeans, or letting them sag slightly, for a more urban, city look, is what fashion means to me.  This blog will be about my opinions on different fashion related topics and events
