Black Dress S.O.S.

lbdDM0903_468x342
I have been very inspired by the shows at Paris Fashion Week and have been unwittingly integrating some of the looks from next season into my daily looks each day. It’s not such a stretch for me to wear a black dress every day, but I’ve been pairing this basic with the loud jewel tones and primary colors like those seen at Balenciaga and Vionnet. While we won’t be able to get our hands on these clothes for quite some time, I’ve been scouring the dregs of the current fall/winter collections (and looking for sales while I’m at it) for similar to perk up my usual gloomy black wardrobe. As the spring collections amble to stores, it’s easy to find brightly colored accessories. I would match just about anything with this Alexander McQueen dress from net-a-porter. To dress it up as a [...] Continue reading →

Face to Face with P.A.C.E

PACE
One of the favorite parts of my job is getting the chance to meet and connect with bay area talent.  Whether it be music, art, or fashion, the bay area is full of creative, and passionate individuals; honing their craft under our very noses.  So when P.A.C.E (People Are Created Equal) clothing graced the wall of our facebook page — I knew I had to find the mastermind behind the label.  An email or two later I had my answer, or should I say, my “answers” — as P.A.C.E clothing is a two man show.  Meet Carlos Juarez and Aldo Diaz, the faces of P.A.C.E.  Offering iconic couture (Carlos) and screen printed styles (Aldo) the P.A.C.E label has a unique look to be sure, and more importantly some unique and motivated designers driving the P.A.C.E brand to greater recogn [...] Continue reading →

McQueen Tyra

The queen of fierce brought it like no one else could with a tribute to fashion royalty Alexander McQueen. Tyra took to her website to post some amazing pictures of herself in McQueen from head to toe. She also wrote: “When I heard of Alexander (Lee as he was called by his friends) McQueen’s passing back in February I was devastated. Not only was he one of my favorite designers, he was someone that I had been lucky enough to meet and was a wonderful human being. The day that he passed the world lost a truly amazing person. I knew that I had to pay him tribute in a special way. The last cycle of Top Model was dedicated to him and I decided that I also wanted to do a photo shoot decked out in H2T McQueen. McQueen was considered royalty in the fashion community. I feel like a [...] Continue reading →
