+  Summers always seem to be a bit intense in New York City.  The clammy weather is one thing but the events leading up to the resort collections are another.  It seems as though we are between a rock in a hard place since our website is not yet complete and we have so many topics to cover, not to mention the Menswear shows are approaching very soon.   Whoever said the business of fashion is extremely fast paced definitely quoted it correctly, sometimes I think we should hire individuals to help cover the important events we can’t attend, wishful thinking for future references I guess.  Well above are a few pictures of Jorge and I within the last month, a mixture of us wearing our favorite brands, Dior Homme, Alexander Wang, Rick Owens, etc.  Enjoy as we look forward to bringing you the launch of our new Website next week.

Very Respectfully,

Last night at the Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center took place the 2010 CFDA Awards. These awards are a big powwow for the fashion elite who celebrate the accomplishments of established and emerging American designers. A trifecta of Gaysian designers came out victorious when they won the Swarovski awards for the categories of Menswear, Womenswear, and Accessories. Those winners were Richard Chai, Jason Wu, and Alexander Wang respectively. The biggest awards of the night though, were won by Marc Jacobs and Rag & Bone duo Marcus Wainwright and David Neville for Womenswear and Menswear Designer of the Year respectively. Christopher Bailey of Burberry Prorsum won the CFDA International Award, in which he thanked Tom Ford, Donna Karan, and Anna Wintour (who then took off her sunglasses momentarily) for helping him in his career.

Supermodel Iman, who was clad in a Giambattista Valli fall/winter 2010 gown was presented with the Fashion Icon Award. The most poignant portion of the evening though was a special tribute presented posthumously to Alexander McQueen by Sarah Jessica Parker, who gave a heartfelt speech that did not require any notes or teleprompter. Parker was dressed in a customized Alexander McQueen gown made by Sarah Burton. After the speech the audience was treated to a showing of his final collection for fall/winter 2010.

+ Gia looks fabulous in a Swarovski crystal scarf paired with a vintage distressed DIY v-neck and a Rony Kobo striped skirt.  It doesn't end here; she wears the Alexander Wang Abbey high heel sandals in Tobacco and Black perfectly.  Distressed is all the rage for 2010.

Straight out of his Spring/Summer 2010 Collection here comes the Ines Oxford from Alexander Wang. The shoes are made of suede with a pointed toe, and are for women. The low stacked heel though permits this shoe to even look good on some blokes. The shoes are sold online for $395, and the link is below if you dare buy them!
