J'adore Dior
For Christian Dior's Fall 2004 Couture fashion show, John Galliano sent down this master piece which was made of 300 feet of white satin with 1,500 crystals and pearls, had a 15 foot train and was worth around $100,000.00.
Where some didn't like, I J'adored! I thought it was a really beautiful piece of art. The pleats, the twists, the beading all facinated me and 5 years later it still haunts me.
Melania Knauss Trump Chose this dress as her wedding dress in 2005. Altered a bit of course and fit beautifully. I thought it was the dream dress.

Modern Woman
CHANEL's 2.55 in turquoise. A Classic, and currently one of the "IT" bags of 2009, women are literally dying for a 2.55. Why you ask?... because it's fabulous.. and because it's Chanel.
CHANEL is the foundation of today's handbag. In the 1920's women only carried small clutches which only held lipstick and cash. Leave it to the ever so controversial Coco Chanel to put handles on a purse, creating this revolutionary accessory.
Today's modern woman carries her entire life with her at any given moment. And why not add a Chanel to her collection.

OMG SJP
Sarah Jessica Parker looked stunning at the 2009 Oscars, which I only watch for the red carpet then pretend i'm paying attention to the rest. She was definitely the best dressed of the night for me in a lovely Dior gown. It's every gay mans dream to wear a puffed gown down the red carpet, and she represents that for all of us. ;-)

Oyster Dress
-When I think of the greatest designers in my time, no one better comes to mind than Alexander Mcqueen. He's truely inspirational and there's no one else like him.
-As a designer, I always analyse someone else's work by whether I can make it or not. Not to say that I would replicate another designers work but to just understand the construction of the garment. In this case, I couldn't even begin to understand the construction of how it was made which is why I consider it a masterpiece.
-This dress is called the "Oyster Dress" where hundreds of layers of ivory organza form this unique unfinished looking, underwater, coral reef look. Ship wreck at sea was the theme, and you can certainly see that in this work of art.
-Currently located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it definitely deserves it's place in the fashion exhibit. I got to see this gorgeous masterpiece in person, and it left me speachless, and it's beauty leaves me craving for more.

It's.... beautiful
Ohh Oscar
No one does gowns like Oscar de la Renta. This Dominican Republic born designer shows us elegance and every womans dream of ball gowns. With a back ground with Balenciaga, Lanvin and Dior, you can clearly see this designer was destined for success. de la Renta's always on the right track, I love me some Oscar.

God Save McQueen!!
I'd LOVE to marry Alexander Mcqueen. And when I heard his collection looked like the gangs of new york walked out of Sweeny Todd, I almost creamed my jeans. He's definitely my favorite designer. I wish I could have attended his show but instead I drolled over the pages of style.com.
Talk about an incredible designer, he always manages to impress me. Check out his spring 09... was AMAZING!!

Fashion Week 09 Fall/Winter
A taste of 09 Fall/Winter, where designer Elise Overland and Sekula Sinadinovski (design Coordinator) give us leather and color. From Leather leggings to purple leather blazers and 6 inch platform stilletos, the show was amazing.
An unusual but fitting presentation/runway. The designer incorporated a presentation like setting, where on one side the models sit, socialize and pose like a moving painting, then whip down the runway every half hour or so to show off the look.
This was my 3rd season at Elise and it only gets better. Kudos to the designer, I hope to see more.
