Custo Barcelona / Spring 2011 Fashion Week

First off, a big thank you to Elle Magazine Online because without this site, I won't be able to view the fabulous collections during Fashion Week Spring 2011. 

I've had my eye on designer Custo Barcelona since I saw his almost "animated" patterns from his Fall 2010 collection. His patterns are, for a lack of a better word busy but I still appreciate his art.

His Spring 2011 was not surprisingly, like a boho spring bouquet Full of jewel tones,pastels and carribean coral and turquoise, feather-like textures, patterns like paint on canvas, geometric, symmetrical and assymetrical patterns -it's like a circus of color, texture and pattern, and yes I like it. He's not scared to use color and he is not scared to put them together either.

I am working on familiarizing myself regarding posting photos that were not taken by me. I mean, do I cite the sites and state who took the photo? Will that be enough? Can I even do that in here? I really want to show photos in my posts. Anyway.

Thank you Onestopplus

So New York Fashion week has come and gone but I can still feel the aftershocks of the bold move of online plus size store Onestopplus. They presented a fashion show showcasing pieces on a plus size body - hurraaay! :)

As much as a I want to post photos of the show here, I really am not sure if I should, so instead, I will be providing the link:

It's a step in the right direction. It also makes profitable sense for companies to explore the plus sized market.

Just because we're not a size 00 doesn't mean we don't want to wear nice clothes. So onestopplus - you are my hero :) Thank you.
