For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a Louis vuitton designer. I have many other aspirations as well, some Louis vuitton -related and some not, but Louis vuitton design hovers around the top of the list. Over the last few years, other ventures have pushed it aside, but recently I’ve been able to find the time to draw again.
Unfortunately, I never really had the drawing skills that I would have liked and lack of practice has made them even worse. I spent a few hours today going through my sketch books and my inspiration notebooks, until something fell together.
t’s 8:39 p.m. on Friday night, and I’ve been sitting at my desk for the past half hour trying to figure out what to write in this last post. I don’t know that there’s an eloquent way to say this (or maybe I’m just delirious and incapable of intelligent thought at the moment), so I’ll just tell you–I’m leaving ELLE.com and I will miss you….a lot. I’m off to a new style adventure that I am so, so excited about. I can’t wait to tell you all about it…but that’s for another time and place.
Jewelry designer Ileana Makri’s cool, bohemian bracelet, made out of 18K rose gold and diamonds was inspired by a pattern she found in an African fabric. It’s on sale now on Yoox.com, and at Jeffrey, alongside a less expensive–but no less special–version.
Teresa Helbig had the privilege of opening the runway show on September 3. She has entitled her collection ”Punky Dolls” and tried to mix in there various inspirations from the 1980s, combining punk and romantic. But this designer, usually specialized in more classic cocktail and eveningwear, seems to have missed her point this season and punk was maybe seen only in the shoes or the hairstyles but certainly not in the garments and her dolls were duller than if she had taken the Barbie for a theme.
