Penelope & Coco Fall 2011 Campaign... I need these shoes.

eyeopener article

A while back, I was interviewed by Ryerson student/the Eyeopener's Arts & Life editor, Gianluca Inglesi, about my future plans as a School of Fashion graduate. I must note that it's not a very accurate depiction of me... I don't have very big dreams and I don't plan on conquering the world of fashion and design. I just like New York City, fashion and web coding. However, if [fashion] world domination comes with it, I won't object.

There was also a photoshoot involved, but who knows where the photos ended up. You can read the article here.

Also, here's a picture of my future NYC BFF Mary-Kate (once I've conquered the fashion world) to make this post more visually appealing.

Area 51 - "The intense secrecy surrounding the base, the very existence of which the U.S. government barely acknowledges, has made it the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and a central component to unidentified flying object (UFO) folklore."

True or not, I find UFO's, aliens & conspiracy theories surrounding the topics incredibly interesting. This video rekindled my interest in the subject.

EMILY SENKO | MARIE CLAIRE ITALIA March 2011

I'm absolutely in love with this shoot. I came across it when browsing the Ford Models Blog. I love how inspiration from Frida Kahlo and Latin America are taken and reworked to suit the upcoming trends of Spring 2011. The use of colour is beautiful and actually makes me want to wear it. My favourite, however, is the purple lipstick worn in the fifth photo. I need it.

I finally finished the last installment in my series of films for my capstone project on androgyny in the fashion industry. It's been an interesting journey, teaching yourself techniques on Final Cut Pro and trying to make footage you took when both you and your model were hungover look good. Alas, here it is!
