Tom Ford's New Womenswear Collection

How many Tom Ford fans do we have out there?! I have always loved his signature eyewear but I was never too familiar with his womenswear, partly because it has been MIA for the last six years. Mr. Ford is back and with a vengeance! He is relaunching his womenswear line Spring 2011 and it is nothing short of pure amazement! Can't wait to see the entire collection!

P.S Tom Ford is also opening up a huge store here in Beverly Hills as a part of this launch!

Fashion Night Out: LA Style Pt 2!

I know I'm a little late but here are some pics from Beverly Centers' Fashion's Night Out that took place last Friday September 10, 2010! The event was so much fun and I think it was very successful for the tenants in the mall as well! It started with an introduction from Los Angeles' mayor Villaraigosa, Vogue's Lisa Love and Will.i.Am of the Black Eyed Peas. Their were two fashion shows, live art performances, and tons of fun activities and special deals in the stores. Can't wait for next year!

Enjoy the pics! (Even though they are out of order o_0) :)

Fashion Night Out: LA Style!

This Friday, September 10th, is going to be amazing! Fashion Night Out is an "unprecedented global initiative to celebrate everything in the world of fashion and to restore consumer confidence." -Beverly Center FNO will be celebrating its second anniversary in 12 cities around the world, I am very excited because this years event will be taking place at the mall where I work, Beverly City in Los Angeles, CA! This will be a star studded event that is being hosted by Will.I.Am of musical group The Black Eyed Peas and Lisa Love, west coast editor of Vogue magazine.

The purpose for this event is to get consumers out and excited about fashion again. With the way the economy has been the past few years some consumers are still hesitant to splurge at the mall! Having an evening of fashion shows, music, celebrities, shopper incentives and so much more will be enough to make even the most frugal person want to come out and have what is SURE to be a good time!

*non-crystallized version* $25

Almost all of the shops in Beverly Center will be having in store events, limited edition merchandise, treats, discounts and more! My store, Henri Bendel, will have the official Fashion Night Out t-shirt and the limited edition version with Swarovski crystals. Our in house illustrator, IZAK, will also his limited edition canvas tote bags with 6 of his trademarked designs with sales benefiting the NYC AIDS Fund! *While supplies last* The staff is super excited about this event, we will have the music blasting and we are all dressing with a Lady Gaga theme! (I'm more of a Victoria Beckhman, but I digress, I am one of her 'monsters' after all!!)

In addition to the fabulousness happening inside BC, surrounding areas of West Hollywood, Century City and the heart of Beverly Hills will also be having extravagances! A carnival sized ferris wheel is to be set up on Rodeo Drive (above).

Ethnic Model Shortage?

Whenever I browse Google or Yahoo! images for models, I always notice one thing: there aren't very many models of color that pop up. When I type in "black models" the same beauties appear: Tyra Banks, Iman, Naomi Campbell, Alex Wek, Salita Ebanks, and a few others. They are all very beautiful don't get me wrong, I admire all of them, but they are not the only black beauties out there. Not just black beauties, but Dominican beauties, Hispanic beauties, etc. I love and admire women of all colors, I would just like to see more diversity! I love the whole "Ebony and Ivory" theme! Here are a few very talented ethnic models who are (in my opinion) "Cover Ready"!

Arlenis Sosa 

Sedene Blake

Jeneil Williams

Carmen Solomon

Diandra Forrest

All beautiful right??!! I'd like to see more of this!

Looking Forward to Fall 2010!

Fall is my least favorite time of year, I'm a Summer girl, hence I was born in July! But I must say that Fall is my favorite for trends; beauty and fashion both! I am so loving the trends that have been forecasted for Fall 2010.
