Uber is nothing below par when it comes to there New Year's resolution. Uber states that they are wanting to take things to the next level in 2016 by not only chauffeuring you around from point A to B but also making select deliveries in select U.S. cities for notable brands and retailers such as Nordstrom, Rent-the- Runway, 1800Flower, Cole Haan, and Google Express. For the high end busy Manhattan ladies and gentlemen I see this becomes a great resolution for Uber.

Donatella Versace new haute couture has everyone on edge. Versace labels this ready-to-wear "athletic wear" as it walks the runway because of the racer backs, cut-outs, and racing lines. "I was born with the body to manifest my own power" this statement made by Versace sets the stage for this empowering show as viewers hold their breath for the set up of a wardrobe malfunction that you would own in a flash. Other outfits show more self-control but as a viewer and someone that prefers to look haute couture while working out I would be frightened at the idea of my clothing that I need the most movement for to be held together with patchwork fabric and cords of Swarovski crystals.
FUN FACT: The fashion industry generates an average revenue of $20 billion each year.
Fashion designers are speaking back, In the past designers portray their visual concepts through a rhythm of the collections or through a mood visual presentation before or after the show. But, designers are now yearning for something new . "Mastodon," the Rick Owens collection for fall 2016 is a great example of this prodigious trend flocking to the Paris shows. Rick Owens unleashed his rhythm on Friday held in the underbelly of the Palais de Tokyo- showing his fall 2016 collection that exhibited more then just fashion. through his show it was almost as if you were within a storytelling. Rick Owens show expressed eco-anxiety, woolly mammoths, an obscure 1960s Italian horror movies and the beekeeping his wife recently took up as a hobby. Designers are speaking up with more then just fashion. I believe this is an eloquent exhibit done by Mr. Owens. He is expressing his emotion and views towards others actions with in a creative and respectable way. I believe that everyone should look up to designers for inspiration these days. They are known to be ahead of the curve, bold, and bright all at the same time. With how people of our world have evolved into expressive opinionated by standers, I believe they should take advice from the wise and successful and realize there is a time and place along with different ways of getting your point across. I can not stress enough to the younger youth that a filter is key in life. Yes when something strikes your mind your first reaction is to share with the world your option though social networks but keep in mind your end goal. I promise you that designers such as Jimmy Choo , Rick Owens, Ellesd, Alexander McQueen, Zac Posen, and Adeline Andre will not hire someone that is so quick the express their opinion. Designers will see you as a ticking time bomb that they have know clue when will explode. Note to all: save your rants and raves for the "non-required skill industry" employment and if you want to progress in the fashion industry or really any industry at all learn when less is more. Who said fashion has to be expensive? New rules in town shop style not the price tag. I just got on to Fabletics and I have found my new love for gym clothes all over again!

I am blown alway full outfit, HIGH fashion, HIGH quality, LOW price. finally a store that speaks my language. You don't believe me yet? Click on the link button below to check it out for yourself!
The tectonic plates of fashion are shifting. Donna Karan left the company that bears her name. Ralph Lauren stepped up to become chairman and relinquished the chief executive title at his company. Harold Koda, the curator in chief of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, passed the reins to Andrew Bolton. And now Grace Coddington, the 74-year-old creative director of American Vogue, the yin to the editor Anna Wintour’s yang, and an accidental celebrity since the 2009 documentary “The September Issue,” is dialing down her role at the magazine. “I’ve been saying, ‘I’m going to leave tomorrow’ for the last 10 years” — and though Vogue says it has no immediate plans to replace her full time, it is bound to shake up the industry for a few reasons. She was less interested in the commercial side of the business and had almost no interest in the digital side of things, eschewing computers and email. She favored models over celebrities (though she did style the Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Vogue cover), and she was clear about designers she revered and those she did not — all reasons she and Ms. Wintour were such good sparring partners. It was the tension between her love of fashion as an art, and Ms. Wintour’s practicality and interest in its functionality, both as a business and in her readers’ lives, that was a large part of making Vogue, and the movie about it, so compelling. They will still exist, of course — just in a less present form. And Ms. Coddington isn’t exactly going gently into that good night. She is creating a perfume with Comme des Garçons, due out in April (though Ms. Wintour only sporadically attends the Comme shows, Ms. Coddington has been a committed fan). She is doing another book on her work at Vogue (her 2002 opus, “Grace: Thirty Years of Fashion at Vogue,” weighs 10 pounds, contains 400 pages of shoots and sells for up to $2,450 on eBay for a signed copy). And there is a film about her 2012 autobiography, “Grace,” in the works. She’s realizing her own brand potential. As she said in an interview with the industry website Business of Fashion: “I’m not running away from Vogue, because it has opened so many doors. But it will be nice to collaborate, and nice to go out (and) give talks to people. It’s just another approach. I’m certainly not going into retirement. I don’t want to sit around.” She will keep an office and an assistant at the magazine. On a more abstract level, however, Ms. Coddington’s move, along with Ms. Karan’s, seems like the beginning of what could be a long chain reaction of a generational shift in fashion. It has been, for an industry that celebrates youth, a strikingly mature sector, with the greatest power concentrated in the hands of the same people for a very long time. Change, when it comes, will have a cascade effect. Speculation about what might happen with her former job — a key title at many magazines — will now join speculation about who will get Raf Simons’s job at Dior and who will get Alber Elbaz’s job at Lanvin. It’s going to be an interesting fashion season. Article by: |NYT| January 20th 2016 The timeless and iconic Adidas Superstar originally debuted in 1969. It was the first basketball sneaker to feature an all leather upper, and immediately became king of the court. Although the Adidas Superstar is no longer considered a technical basketball sneaker, they have transitioned to a fashionable lifestyle model. This transition is due to their classic design and Adidas continually refreshing the model with new colorways and materials. The practice of updating sneaker classics with modern materials/technology is more prevalent than ever, and that's not a surprise. The idea that you can sport a timeless design and experience the best footwear innovation currently available, is very enticing. Adidas' latest creation provides us with a perfect example of this popular "best of both worlds" design model.

Natalie Rye:A student at the University of Alabama developing into an accomplished apparel designer. What the world has to offer my soul I will absorb. I am a creator; nothing compares to the beautiful conversation of the mind. I enjoy collecting memories of my moments and paying attention to everything life brings my way. And through it all, I am a reflection of my life's journey, inspirations along the way, inspired creations, rambling thoughts - past, present, and future. Whatever comes to mind, I want to express the depths of my thoughts through design. Archives
