Little Little

I have been jealously reading 13 year old Tavi's blog - Style Rookie (http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com/). She is so funny and switched on and makes me wonder what on earth I was doing at 13, 18, or even 22. Better late than never I expect though. After calming myself down over the whole insurance issue, I promptly discarded every single item I no longer use, changed my entire room around for better "study karma" and watched fashion shows religiously. I thought I would share the couple that had me scribbling in my journal like a lunatic.



Erin Fetherston is an American fashion designer. She grew up in Piedmont, California, and attended UC Berkeley. After graduating in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts, she headed to France.

Fetherston then attended Parson's School of Design in Paris. In January 2005, she debuted her own line during the Haute Couture Shows.[1] Fetherston recently moved from Paris to New York City. Her line has been shown in the Bryant Park Fashion shows for the last two seasons. In November 2007, her limited-time discount line debuted at the nationwide retailer Target.[2] The current model for her high end line is Zooey Deschanel.[3] In 2007, Erin received the prestigious Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation award for emerging designers. That same year, Fetherston was also named a finalist in the CFDA/Vogue (magazine) Fashion Fund Award (wiki)




Style.com describes Pugh as the "latest addition to a long tradition of fashion-as-performance-art that stretches back through Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, and Vivienne Westwood to the eighties club culture of Leigh Bowery."[7] (Pugh, however, dismisses frequent Bowery comparisons as "lazy journalism.")[3] Klaus Nomi has also been suggested as an influence on Pugh.[10] Pugh's collections are autobiographical rather than referential, and draw inspiration from Britain's extreme club scene.[5][4] Pugh's trademark is his experimentation with form and volume.[3][4] He often uses "nonsensically shaped, wearable sculptures" to "distort[] the human body almost beyond recognition."[3][4] Elements in his designs include PVC inflated into voluminous coats, black and white patchwork squares, Perspex discs linked like chain mail, and shiny latex masks and leggings;[11] he has used materials including mink, parachute silk, foam footballs, afro-weave synthetic hair, and electrically charged plastic in his clothing.[3] Pugh describes his designs as being "about the struggle between lightness and darkness."
