Valentino Pre-Fall 2017-2018 Full Runway Fashion Show Collection

Valentino Pre-Fall 2017-2018 Full Runway Fashion Show Collection has been shown yesterday. The runway looked amazing! The looks were absolutely beautiful, but I wouldn't refer to this collection of being Pre-Fall I see it as of a Gloomy Spring Collection. I can tell that Valentino, played with lots of garden earth tones. Many of them actually reminded me of Japan, with many blossoms, etc. I can really notice that he introduced the Japanese culture throughout this collection. Many of the gowns also looked very magistic, which I love that aspect of fashion! Others were looked very unfitted and dark, but yet floral. I think he introduced the floral pattern with dark colors to represent fall. Valentino also introduced a lot of furs and lace mix and match. I personally am not a fan of furs, but with the lace I fell in love with those two combined. Overall, I hope to see this trend of lace martial and fur combined together for this Fall Season of 2017.

Lily Collins Style

Anyone can transform themselves from a chic look to an elegant outfit. For a while now, I've noticing in every public events, for example, Golden Globes, Oscars, the Met, and in public places in general. I've seen Lily Collins with always a stunning look that fits perfectly with her body shape! I am not a huge fan of her or have no knowledge of her career, but what I am a fan of is her fashion choices. I think the media should be paying more attention to her! And who knows she might become the next icon. I can really picture her being more out there in that world! Lily belongs with the rest that are in that category. One of my all time gowns worn has to be "multicolor kaleidoscope vision at the red carpet premiere for her flick Love, Rosie at the 9th Rome Film" I love how beautiful the ombre was places through the dress and it fit perfectly with her skin color as well. Another one of my favorites has to be the gowns she wore at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party – 2015. The gown was "a sequined, semi-sheer fishnet" and she totally owned that dress. Lastly, my recent favorite one from her is the Perfect rose pink gown she wore at the 2017 Golden Globes. She wore a "pink, intricately beaded gown definitely stood out on the red carpet. Bold matte red lipstick, matching pink eye shadow, and an updo worthy of royalty completed the breathtaking look". Everything was perfectly harmonized to perfection. Overall I hope to see Collins being more recognized into the media.

Golden Globe fashion

Happy Monday!

Last night many great actress, singers, public figures, etc all share many great qualities, but one quality that everyone notices is their fashion! Many came with stunning fitted suits and dresses and others came with with loose, flowy dresses, at bit more comfy I would say. I love these types of events where all well known people come together for a night, I would think that they as well love it too, not only for the awards, but I also believe at times to make a statement weather it's they hairstyle, make-up, verbal, etc, but my favorite and they more known one is fashion. Fashion statements have been around since the era of probably the day television was born! I want to say I saw a statement from only 3 women in that night, Evan Rachel Wood, Octavia Spencer, and Kathryn Hahn. What I notice that all rest of the women wore gowns, except these women, all three of them work suits. I think what it inspired them was to fight the cliché of women only allowed to wear gowns, skirts, etc. I  personally love suits, many would disagree because they're sexist, but any one can wear anything they feel confident in. Fitted suits on women just bring out the shape of a women's beautiful body. Overall, I think all women should just start dissing the gowns and go for suits!

Fashion in Flight

For more than 85 years the airlines passenger services, hostess, and flight attendant have been dressed in unique outfits to signify their role during the flight. "these often conflicting demands of singularity, diversity, and conformity have created a distinct garment type, one that has penetrated deeply into the social conscience of popular culture while providing fashion designers with remarkable challenges and creative opportunities". These outfits are very distant and eye catching, throughout the years I can see how the skirts are differently are shaped. They started with loose long skirts to now fitted at the knee skirts. For the top part of the uniform it looks slightly similar through out the year, but without looking at the years it was worn I can tell from what era it's from, from just looking at the design. They were based on "styles and trends include nurse-inspired attire, periods of military influence and austerity, the influences of Paris, New York, and Hollywood in the era of cosmopolitan glamour and the jet-set chic of the space age". I think this very interesting, who would've ever thought about bring fashion to the airline? Many designers and fashion contributed in these designs like:

• Christian Dior
• Ralph Lauren
• Jean Louis
• Adolfo
• Marc Bohan
• Yves Saint Laurent

and many more. Overall I think it's amazing to have a the exhibition here in the San Francisco Airport Commission.

New Year's Resolutions

For the year of 2017, I decided to become more productive, focused, responsible, and selfless. I believe that these attributes will make someone more successful in their daily lives. With that being said, I think I will struggle a lot to reach these goals, but with a strict mind, I know I can reach them. For this class one of my New Year's resolutions is to leave this class creating at least a gown that I've been visioning, I have yet to sketch the design, but, I do have in mind on what I want. Another New Year's resolution is try not to miss too much class time. I feel like last semester I missed too much class time, and I noticed that it impacted my grades. Also, my goal for this semester is to be participate in class discussions more. Overall, those are my New Year's Resolutions.

Where do you think designers find their inspiration? What inspires you?

From watching films, reading magazines, etc. I have found that many designers get their unique inspirations to create a garment from their own personal experiences. Although, at times I feel that designers all have a different perspective in life. For example, if  I see a tree, they see a gown that can easily be transformed. Other than that I believe that everyone is different, anyone can get an inspiration from a dream, childhood, memories, tragic events, public figures, naturalistic objects, music, new technology, makeup, etc. For me, I think I don't have the perspective of a designer yet, but I have had seen things that have transformed my vision into art. I really don't have that many inspirations other than public figures on social media. But at times, I've had ideas that look magistical and royal. And I think I get those visions from watching Disney movies and visiting Disneyland for the last past years. Another way I get inspired is from seeing my favorite artist, Lorde, I feel like at times that my wardrobe is inspired by her and as well as my hair and makeup. Overall, I feel like everyone has a different way of finding inspirations.

Johnson & Wales

 Johnson & Wales University is a private and non-profited school. With 4 schools each in 4 different states a few students are enrolled into each and every school. This school cares about the students education and getting to know everything about their desired major. Johnson & Wales University is also great for the people who want to to learn on hands and are not just sitting down researching for their grade. JWU provides many academic majors along that anyone that shows they want to be there can enroll into. With the locations these school are from, I am not interested into attending this school. I feel like I am more of a west coast person now from my 17 years of living in the West coast, from living in Washington and here in California. Many students should take their time into researching about this school, for the ones that want to go off state, of course. I believe that for some people its a better fit for them. Overall, JWU should seek out more, and probably establish themselves in the east coast, so more students have the opportunities to enroll.
