Barbie Is Now Wearing Louboutin!

Barbie will forever be an iconic figure, and now Christian Louboutin has become apart of the Barbie history.  Louboutin has teamed up with barbie maker, Mattel, to create a new wardrobe for Barbie, and has plans to put her in a more "lifelike situations".  I wouldn't say a Vegas dancer, burglary, and photo shoots, are true lifelike scenarios.  Louboutin has been named Barbie's yearlong Godfather; I wouldn't mind having him as a Godfather, free Louboutin's, maybe?  Louboutin's inspiration for Barbie's wardrobe is said to be Nefertiti and Marilyn Monroe.  What a combination!  Check out the photo's, Barbie is sporting Louboutins, in every one, the Louboutins in the burglary scene are my fav!

Jimmy Choo for H&M

Earlier today H&M released a video about the highly anticipated Jimmy Choo for H&M collection, set to be in stores November 14th.  The collection includes handbags, shoes, and clothing, all which can mix and match with one another.  This is my type of collection, basically all black without having that goth feel! Tamara Mellon, gives a little insight about the upcoming collection.

Ad for the upcoming line. Not nearly as good as the Matthew Williamson ad, that I love and can watch a million times!

Fashion is art...just ask Alexander McQueen!!

A lot of people have complaints that runway fashion is getting out of hand. Meaning a lot of the things you see on the runway aren’t typically suitable to wear for any occasion. What people don’t understand is that a lot of designers (especially high fashion designers) view their collections as art rather than just clothes to wear, and they want their lines to tell a story.

For example, let’s take Alexander McQueen. His Spring 2010 runway collection has gotten a lot of hype. But the story/theme behind his line was a statement about the future of our world, more specifically, the meltdown of our world due to global warming. “McQueen’s version of Waterworld showcased mankind as alien-like creatures forced to adapt/evolve and live in the sea as the polar ice caps have melted. Out came clothing in reptilian prints and sequins to mimic fish scales.” The heels on the runway looked like they were out of this world, or at least this land.  They were super high, skeletal-like and featured interestingly curved booties designed for the animalistic and bold. As outrageous as this line may seem, there will still be people investing their money into a pair of those shoes, or one those dresses!
