HALLE BERRY GRACES THE COVER OF THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE OF VOGUE
HALLE BERRY HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR HER OSCAR WINNING PERFORMANCE IN MONSTER'S BALL, AND A HOST OF OTHER CLASSIC MOVIES. MOST RECENTLY, SHE GAVE BIRTH TO HER BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER NAHLA. NOW SHE CAN ADD 'COVER OF VOGUE, SEPTEMBER ISSUE 2010' TO HER RESUME!! WHEN I FIRST LEARNED THAT SHE WAS GOING TO GET THE COVER, I EXPECTED NOTHING BUT SHEER BEAUTY TO ARISE FROM THE SPREAD.....BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO DEFINE BEAUTY IN THE WAY THAT IT DID. TEAMING UP WITH PHOTOGRAPHER MARIO TESTINO, THE PHOTOS SHOW HER TIMELESS BEAUTY IN WHAT SEEMS TO BE STOPPING TIME AND HALTING THE AGING PROCESS.....

YOHJI YAMAMATO'S SPRING LINE FOR 2011.
YOHJI YAMAMOTO HAS ALWAYS BEEN A DESIGNER WHO'S CREATIONS HAS ALWAYS SPARKED INTEREST TO ME. THE LOOK ISN'T YOUR AVERAGE STREET CLOTHING, BUT MORE OR LESS TRADITIONAL JAPANESE DRESS. THE LINE NEVER REALLY FOLLOWS CURRRENT TRENDS, BUT STAYS TRUE TO THE DEEP-ROOTED CULTURE OF JAPAN.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF 'THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE'
THERE ALOT OF BIG MOMENTS IN FASHION...I.E. AN UNVEILING OF YVES ST. LAURENT'S FALL LINE...CHANEL'S MODERN REINVENTION, BUT NONE BIGGER THAN THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE OF VOGUE. THIS HAS BECOME A STAPLE, THAT HAS SAW THE LIKES OF ICONS SUCH AS GISELLE BUNCHEN, NATALIA VODIANOVA, AND MORE RECENTLY CHARLIZE THERON. SEPTEMBER MARKS THE OFFICIAL BEGINNING OF THE INDUSTRY'S 'YEAR.' FALL FASHION EQUALS BOOTS, CHIC JACKETS, AND BEAUTIFUL EARTH TONE COLORS. AND THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE COMPLIMENTS EVERYTHING CURRENT, AND WHATS TO COME.....
HEELS ARE LIFE
HEELS DEFINE A WOMAN'S FEMININITY.....I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED HOW HEELS EXCENTUATE A WOMAN'S BEAUTY

UPCOMING FALL TREND FOR MEN 2010
ITS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST CLASSIC, YET MODERN MEN'S TRENDS TO DATE...THE CLASIC TAILORED SUIT. WHETHER IT'S THE CLASSIC SUMMER LOOK OF A LINEN SUIT, OR A MORE REFINED FASHION-FORWARD LOOK OF A SUIT MADE PURELY OF 100% COTTON...THE TAILORED SUIT EXUDES MASCULINITY IN A WAY THAT HAS GRACED THE FASHION WORLD FOR OVER A CENTURY. ONE OF THE MOST SAUGHT-AFTER CUTS IS THE INFAMOUS DOUBLE-BREASTED SUIT. BELOW ARE SOME DESIGNERS THAT HAVE TAKEN THE CLASSIC LOOK, AND MODERNIZED IT TO GIVE IT A NEW LOOK.

A SNEAK PEAK INTO CHANEL'S 2010 PRE-FALL COLLECTION
CHANEL HAS BEEN KNOWN AS ONE OF THE GREATEST FASHION HOUSES TO EVER GRACE THE INDUSTRY. WHEN I THINK OF CHANEL A FEW WORDS COME TO MIND: POISE, ELEGANCE, REGAL, VINTAGE. BUT WHAT STICKS OUT MOST TO ME IS THE INNOVATION. ALWAYS A STEP FORWARD, BUT NEVER FORGETTING THE FOUNDATION THAT MADE CHANEL SUCH A FORCE IN THE INDUSTRY. THAT CONTINUES ON AS CHANEL KICKS OFF THEIR PRE-FALL COLLECTION. WITH A DARING MIXTURE OF FURS, LEATHERS, AND VELVETS...THE LOOK IS A BIT OVERWHELMING TO THE NAKED EYE, BUT STILL HAS ITS SINCERE ELEGANCE THAT HAS BECOME THE STAPLE TO THE HOUSEHOLD NAME.....CHANEL

A MOMENT IN FASHION HISTORY
HAUTE COUTURE
HAUTE COUTORE IS A PHRASE FROM THE FRENCH MEANING 'HIGH FASHION'. THE TERM HAUTE IN GENERAL MEANS HIGH IN TERMS OF ELEGENCY...OR ROYALTY. COUTORE REFERS TO THE ACTUAL CRAFT OF SEWING, DRESS MAKING, AND DESIGNING. THE HIGH COST OF HAUTE COUTURE GOWNS, AND CLOTHING LEAVES PEOPLE QUESITIONING THE REASONING BEHIND A CHANEL FROCK THAT RETAILS AT $2500 DOLLARS, OR A OSCAR DE LA RENTA GOWN VALUED AT $10,000..
VIRTUALLY EVERY COUTURE PIECE IS MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE CLIENT PURCHASING IT. THIS UNIQUE, ONE OF A KIND FEEL EXPLAINS THE HIGH COST. NOT TO MENTION THE EXPENSIVE MATERIALS THAT MAKE UP THESE PIECES. FROM FURS, TO IMPORTED SILKS, TO THE GAUTIEST FURS...HAUTE COUTURE'S JOB IS TO MAKE THE CLIENT THE TALK OF THE SHOW.....AND DOES SO AS SHOWN IN THE BELOW PIECES:
