TALK ABOUT BEING BORN TOO LATE....

I've always been drawn to the 60's youth quake. The power it had for change in everything from social, political to spiritual and of course over all creative and artistic. I'm an 80's baby, a 90's kid, young adult in the New Millenia...and still I've been channeling the 60's spirit since a pre-teen years in the 90's. A young flower child in Los Angeles, to later moved to San Francisco to study Art & Performance... The spirt is still Alive... but of course it can never be like the real thing. Of it there was a time machine, this era of time would be one of my first stops. 

As for now it's just romantic dream.

I wanted to go to the exhibition last month when it open... alas I miss the opening in December so I wanted to see the exhibition later the Holiday craze. To my delight the exhibition has been so successful that Taschen has extend the closing date to February 15, 2015.

What can I say, Los Angeles LOVES THE ROLLING STONES!!!

and of course David Bailey who is a legend himself, has been capturing and creating: life style, rock'n roll, fashion, and more since 1960's. He inspired the main character of 1966's Michelangelo Antonioni, London film BlowUp which is one of my favorite film of all time. Based on the swinging life of London in the 60's... taking photographs creating magic... breaking some hearts. 

Just like The Rolling Stones. LOL

The exhibition is well curated, from the fun timeline to mix of black 'n white stills and color stills. As well as mixing the many years of Rolling stone magic.  It's a powerful time warp exhibition for anyone. 

The exhibition not only has Bailey photography but many other legend photographers such as another favorite of mine : Anton Corbijn who stole my heart when he made the film based on the life of Ian Curtis the lead singer of Joy Division in 2007's film Control. He was the band's main photographer.

I wish I could throw down the 5 grand for the SUMO-SIZED SIGNED Rolling Stones Book. 

Alas... If anyone out there in the universe loves me take this as a Hint. I WANT IT!!!

...but I would I would settle for the small one with back stage tickets to their next show and have the book personally signed. OMG. Please.

LONG LIVE ROCK'N ROLL

//RUNWAY// MY BEST OF NEW YORK FASHION WEEK SPRING 2015

Milly

 Downtown Chic Gypsy...Oh Milly....

 I just love this whole collection. I want everything from this collection, it's grown-up street wear with a delicate feminine touch. Classic Milly silhouette but with amazing color and texture and styling... just won me over. I rarely say I would wear straight up runway look, since I love mixing and playing... plus I'm a stylist but this collection is head to toe styled for me. LoL

Opening Ceremony

Tech Minimal Pop

Opening Ceremony is one of my favorite boutiques to date. I wonder if I would ever design a capsule for them would I get a discount?. #dreamdesignjob #collabsplease

This collection, I am calling tech minimal pop because that's exactly what it is to me... It look like blown up computer parts/ elements with minimal structure silhouettes in bubble gum pink. My favorite piece is the women computer dots rendering print pullover. 

Marc By Marc Jacobs

Cyber Pop Punk

The british influence definitely shows... starting with the chelsea combat wellies boots in pop colors.

Plus, british designer Luella Bartley is one of the new creative and design directors for Marc by Marc Jacobs along side fellow brit Katie Hillier. Her beloved line has been missed... by many including yours truly. Was super excited when she started designing for the brand just last year.

Cyber Pop Punk is what I am calling this collection, the latex leggings and the bra tops are powerful statement of cyber punk. Tough Sexy but in pop pastel colors vs. the head to toe scales of blacks usually found in the genre of cyber punk films and comics novels.

Cynthia Rowley

Pretty Mod Sportswear

Why can't sports wear be lovely and flirty... Cynthia Rowley captured the two major continuation  tends in my book. 60's Mod and Sportwear Luxe Classic. The shift dresses with athletic touches = a comfortable Spring and Summer 2015 with Cynthia. Cheers to that.

Delpozo  

Structor Fantasy

Delpozo has been one of my favorite new lines which it debut last year... Josep Font knows how to capture fantasy in clothing... structured pieces in couture fabrics with dreamy story-book color pallette and motifs. The spring / summer just got prettier.

Honor
Pretty In Mod
Just pretty in Mod silhouettes like shift dresses, structured jackets with baroque prints... keeping it very 60's Chelsea babes listening to the Yardbirds. Blue cat eye-shadow... um yes!! and to top it off lovely pearl descent flats. Let's do the modern twist.

Proenza Schouler

Hand Made Structure Luxe

Classic silhouettes with a home knit touch... expect with edgy pieces made out of woven leather.

Can we talk about the fringe... I love fringe maybe it's because I'm latina and love dancing... fringe just dances with you even if your just walking. Fun.

Style.com change the over look of viewing the runways collection this season. Thank you.

Though I still source other channels for more coverage since, Style still caters to the masses of brands… leaving a lot of new comers and rebel out of the fashion bubble of style.com. In all fairness they have started adding more and more designers to the coverage circle including MFA programs fashion schools from NYC… but still fall short… the timeline are getting more crazy with shows overlapping each other…. is Style.com…. under-staffed? I wont not be surprised if they are. So my question is import a freelancer fashion writer from LA with fresh eyes… Me.

Over I still love the look off The Cut New York’s magazine… they cover everything New York as except so cheers to you.

I’m excited about London fashion week… even though I have not yet attended a fashion in the ultra cool London. It’s always ends up being my favorite fashion capitals.London can we be best friends.

GLASS CANDY

Double Feature Dance Party

My first show of the year and what a great way to start this year than to continue  dancing!!! Hosted by Converse - Rubberneck Tracks and Urban Outfitters which just open it's first downtown location, not sure how I feel about it just yet. Love, the Acne Studios boutique across the way but that's another story. I'm a downtown L.A. native so to being inside such a historic venue as the Tower theatre made this night even more special. My hometown and one of my favorite electro-disco bands Glass Candy. Magic.

MADEMOISELLE SUR UN SCOOTER…

(GIRL ON A SCOOTER) 

From casual to a more dressed up version with a skirt. Knitted shorts under my skirts are a must when riding, I tend to choose black bottoms. The Parisian weather can be cold and unpredictable bursts of rain. 

Below is a collage mix of christmas wants and updates to my looks. :)
