Promarkers

It's reflection time, a little throwback and recommendation for aspiring fashion designers!. I love my Pro-Markers. I bought them from a company based in the UK, they are a cheaper alternative to a company based in the US. I used to draw in black and white but 2.5 years ago, I decided ti draw in color to illustrate what how the product will look like to a client. I only got the 12 piece set (you get one blender pen to help blend the colors better), but it works just as good because i know how to mix colors (thanks to my high school art class!). SO FAR, I LOVE THESE MARKERS! I also use a lot of colored pencils. 



Here are some of my designs with Promarkers!

Gatsby Street Style: New Yorkers Celebrate the 1920s

ELLE.COM reports....

They may have happened 90 years ago, but the Roaring '20s are officially back—at least where fashion is concerned. From Ralph Lauren's Downton Abbey-inspired collection to the latest Great Gatsby film (and its many product tie-ins with brands like Tiffany & Co.), it's getting harder to resist the urge for bow lips and fringe.

Enter the Jazz Age Lawn Party, a yearly gathering on New York's Governor's Island. The eighth annual event (which happened last weekend, as well as August 17 and 18) welcomes '20s enthusiasts and features big bands, Charleston dance-offs, pie baking contests, and (this year, especially) a lot of fashion masqueraders. In between gin cocktails and rolled stockings, ELLE.com searched for the best speakeasy style—and found that although vintage is best, '90s slip dresses can also be repurposed. "Don't tell, but mine is from Free People," whispered a fashion-forward party-goer at the picnic. 

She needn't worry: Much like a bootlegger's address, her secret is safe with us...

Sad Tragedy at Hugo Boss

Hugo Boss had to cancell is London Men's Collection that was due to be held on June 17th after a 4 year old boy was killed by a mirror during the label's Bicester Village outlet store on June 4.
Hugo Boss is trying to avoid planning a party so soon after the death of the boy as it would be "innappropriate" and would certainly not reflect Hugo Boss in the best light.
Such tragedies can surely happen. It is not clear what the family will get from the multinational luxury brand, but such things do happen in the fashion industry (as well as other industries) and I think it's a smart move to withhold the collection show for at least a month and a half.
