"For Africa to me... is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place."

Shaun Ross

I'm always looking for things out of the ordinary , and i came across Shaun Ross . 
Yes ! i was automatically drawn to beautiful eyelashes and the shape of his nose . Apart from the fact he is an albinistic African-American ,  he is a  professional fashion model (and amateur dancer and actor).

Taking Flight

It's come to my attention that up and coming Designers are always designing to suit their clients or  the public  . But today i met a up and coming Designer who amazes me with the  blood , sweat , and heart she puts into her Garments  .
Gabriella Marina Gonzalez
When she walked in the room she  left me speachless .
This is a someone who truly understand what fashion is all about  .
It's not about Trends . It's about knowing what you like and expressing it through what you wear .
She doesnt earn as much as you think but she stays true to herself  ,  which i Adore and respect on all levels  .

Her clothes are works of art , carfeully hand made , and beautifully crafted and cared for  .

Vintage Vixen .

Shopping Vintage is always exciting for me . Your always in search of key pieces that ooze attitude whilst not looking cheap .Vintage shopping is essential it's like cheap Haute coture ! and you can never find the same thing more than once , which keeps your wardrobe fun and stylish .

My Top Places to shop in London are .

Portobello road
Brick Lane
Camden

These are the places that i visit most and they never fell to amuse me with individual clothing pieces of good quality and outstanding prints and patterns .

This week had been rather good  , i have been accepted in a short course at London College Of Fashion , and i have relived the past  .
I've come to see that when you stumble across the past you tend to forget where your going .
It's a common mistake !
You think people will be there forever but that forever only lasts a couple hours .
Your hearts sinks into your stomach when you relised you have given up so much to recieve so little .
I've Learn't !
But sometimes i need to recap  .
It's what insecure people do to reassure themself they have a good life  .

Lady Gaga Rocks Mugler Runway

Lady Gaga made her catwalk debut in Paris , rocking the runway of Thierry Mugler .
Thierry Mugler tagged a ' provocative designer” Creations where celebrating a serene femininty stripped of all Theatrical elements .
Some people may argue with the debue o f' ' Lady Gaga '  but in my eyes she gave the runway a flavour of
Life  .

GUO PEI
Chinese Couturier ,
Guo Pei, whose career as a fashion designer began when there was no fashion in her country, remained a study in Asian poise and etiquette.
Her Haute couture collections are heavily detailed , with every bit of thought allowing each item to speak for it's self .



Guo Pei's Fantastic theatrical  creative statements , are without doubt couture at it's best  .
