Victoria Beckman Fall 2009 Collection

Victoria Beckman Fall 2009 Collection. For fall we can once again expect great designer collections and Victoria Beckman is among one of the newest celebrity designers to join the bunch. She's already had a collection of great dresses and these fashionable clothing for her fall line are trendy, chic and afforable plus I'm loving the deep rich purples in this line.

KIEV

After Paris Prêt-à-Porter Fashion Week, where I'll be shooting an episode of The Facehunter Show, I'll be off to Kiev for the Ukrainian Fashion Week. First time in Ukraine, I'm very intrigued.

Recycling a white cotton shirt and the March fashion wallpaper

Every month is defined for me by the changes of nature. As I step out into my own little garden, crocuses and camellias are among the early blooms that surprise with their bright, proud colors against a backdrop of spidery bare bushes and tress. With that image of renewal and my thoughts about a lovely spring around the corner, I created the March screensaver.

(click here to download this image to use as your wallpaper or to print a copy)

Sketched is a project that you will find in my book, Denim Revolution - the “Teddy Bear Tuxedo Shirt” - which has all the comfy elements I love -- a big, over sized vintage man’s dress shirt, (the way they used to be made, with fine detailing) that's been stamped with a personal fashion statement with rugged denim, crazy vintage buttons, cotton bandannas and gingham. It's sketched with opaque black stockings and lacy boots, and, naturally she's reading – Denim Revolution – planning her new spring wardrobe, what she’s going to make, where she’s going to wear it and how she's looking forward to springtime.

Gotta go and start sewing and hope this inspires you to search through your sewing baskets and see what you can make for yourself or to gift!

Scarlett Johansson for Dolce and Gabbana Pictures

Scarlett Johansson for Dolce & Gabbana pictures. So Scarlett Johnasson is the new face of Dolce & Gabbana cosmetics line. I must say she's the perfect celebrity for the job since her beauty is classic girl next door. The New Dolce & Gabanna line will lauch this spring and prices will range from $20 for nail lacquer to $59 for powder foundation.

I love the look of these ads, Scarlett looks so old Hollywood retro glam, and those red lips and nail polish super fab!

Man Fashion: LV Fall 2009 Collection

Louis Vuitton debuted it’s Fall 2009 Men’s Collection during Paris Fashion Week.

Like what Tim Blanks of Men.Style.com said, the personality of Vuitton's menswear has taken shape somewhere between traditional luxury and a technological take on same.

Here are the some extract of LV Fall/Winter 2009 Collection from Paris Fashion Week.

re-cycling to make a pretty dress

Along the way of writing "Denim Revolution" I made more projects than could fit between the covers, and this was one of them - a favorite dress.

I adore vintage slips, all kinds. They are a lovely luxury but to wear them as day dresses I like to have a little more substance, so I re-style them by adding some other fabrics and materials. For this dress, I used rugged denim scraps that add a hip charm to the femininity of the slip.

Using two shades of denim cut from lighter weight cast-off jeans, I cut them into strips - the narrow band is cut on the bias, the other not - washed them, zigzagged the edges with a pale yellow silk thread and appliqued them along the bottom. The colors and pretty scalloped details are enhanced by the denim.

The leftovers were used to form bows with vintage rhinestone buckles. One bow gives the slip an empire shape and the pair of bows I wear as barrettes or shoe clips. I so hope it will inspire you to dig out some of your favorite "finds" and put them all together in new ways!
