My recent article for Inspirer Magazine ~ Club Kids

"The one and only dominator, a pounding blast from the past."


The Caten brothers are back this year with the Spring 2013 collection for their label Dsquared². Dean and Dan made every man feel punk rock with leopard details paired with white shirts, black pants or shorts, and a hint of denim. The models hit the catwalk with some intense Goth jewelry that had crosses dangling from ever part of the necklace. Ties were also incorporated into some of the outfits the boys wore. There is definitely nothing wrong with a little femininity for a man of style and the brothers have no problem showing this on the runway. Bright pinks and animal prints can't make more of a dramatic entrance to any event. Their form of the peek-a-boo pop denim put the outfits together with a little flair and sass. This show gave me a bit of wasted youth of this century in an underground grunge club. I know I can't wait to see what's next for this two flamboyant twins.

My life


MY MOST RECENT ARTICLE FOR INSPIRER.nu

Olivier Rousteing fell under the spell of the Miami lifestyle this year in his 2013 Resort collection. His unique textures and geometric patterns made fashionista's gag at the sight of each model strutting down the catwalk. Rousteing, age 27 defiantly knows how to dress the female species with class and modern day sophistication.

Balmain is more then just a label it's art that happens to lye on the naked skin. The diamond shaped patterns made us gaze into another world somewhat resembling Alice and Wonderland. Olivier called out Cuba as an inspiration to this line backstage at his Balmain fashion show. Gianni Versace also influenced Rousteing bringing inspiration from within. Honestly I don't think there could have been a better "Style God" to seek inspiration from let alone a dead one that lingers in a world which is unknown.

High waist men's trousers with monstrous shoulders draped over the skeleton like bodies of some of the worlds top models (Anja Rubik and Magdalena Frackowiak) making them seem almost invisible with all of the bulk. Rousteing used graphic harlequin prints which was one of his inspirations from Mr. Versace himself and dresses painstakingly created from basket-woven raffia. I think we all smirked having acceptance with the persuasive appeal of a simple skin-baring black leather bandeau and miniskirt.
Fashion is glamour and Balmain is that and more. Femininity will always be a trade mark for women, but that femininity became masculine the very moment Bo Ron stepped on the catwalk at the Balmain show. This powerful and sexy woman he wanted to capture depict women in photo shoots from the nineties that had class and elegance, but stood strong in front of the lens. Every girl deserves Balmain for her closet to complete any outfit because the world is her runway.

sick puppy

I have become ill to the point where I would much rather be six feet under. My body is achy, my head is stuffy, and my cough is rough. Thank goodness I have the best grandmother in the world to take care of her sick little baby. Today calls for some much needed sleep and lots of homemade chicken noodle soup!

Hype my look!

XX

I am ever so blessed to have many who admire my work. It tickles me to receive such positive feedback and to have true minds encourage my artistry. There is no such thing as tasteless art, because I see art in many different forms. To have the world view what I create and tell me such beautiful scripts melts my soul, so thank you to all who have stood by me and helped through the road that was becoming such destruction to my life.

A Wildflower

I tend to sit and think often about life and the mischievous way it has me in a whirlwind of emotions. The world itself is far from having any sanity in it at all, actually it's filled with crazy and outraged humans. With worldly aspects that have taken over, we tend to forget our main purpose of why we are all here on this earth. I tend to look back often and try to puzzle together the pieces of what exactly led me to be where I am today. With fashion consuming my every second it almost blinds me that there are other gems I still have yet to find. People tend to judge me from my appearance instead of seeing the person that lies behind these rags we call "clothing", and yet have no clue what my true story is. My fashion is nothing more then just an illusion of the monster that hides within the skin that is naked. Yes you can say I have nice things, I'm always well put together, and my sophistication tends to get the best of me but that's not all that I am. I was merely planted in the wrong era of this planet Earth, with my taste, class, and status I still have yet to discover more of which is there in front of my eyes. Fashion is my life and I do live by it religiously, but there is more out there then labels and whats on my naked skin. I just want to uproot the wildflower inside me and show Mother Earth what a wild creature I truly am. I may not have been discovered just yet but my time will come, and the world will know my very existence. Leaving you tonight with this; What is reality and what are dreams? Can you distinguish the two? 

You know my name.
NOT MY STORY.

 Sweet dreams my fellow bloggers xx

MY MOST RECENT INTERVIEW WITH SHI GRAY FOR INSPIRER

Meet my newest fashion discovery Shi Gray, a 25 year old young lad that's living the life in Sacramento, California. I recently befriended Gray and couldn't help snooping at his photos. His uniquely styled attire with flamboyant prints caught my attention, and I became eager to interview him on his outlook on fashion.


When did fashion first interest you?
Gray - I knew I had an interest in fashion at a young age. It all started in elementary school, I always knew that I didn't want to look like everyone else. While everyone was wearing sweat suits I was wearing tweed blazers and penny loafers.
Who is your biggest fashion icon?
Gray - David Beckham, everything he wears just looks well put together and effortless.

My 4th of July weekend

Fireworks became sparkling bombs on the beach.

September Please Don't Come

Well next month is my birthday and this is one of the first times that I am far from excited. I guess becoming older is a tad bit traumatic for myself, because becoming old is my biggest fear in life. I can say that I'll play it safe and from this birthday forward I'll subtract two years from my age, so it's like I'm still in my youthful days.

 FOREVER YOUNG
