& Now, Another Word

about 2 of my top 3 designers in all the world...

I've gone on & on about this here in my blog, and everyone knows

I am a visionary :)'s

Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen

THE ROW

from Full House to CFDA Award Winners 2012

Womenwear Designer of the Year

true professionals recognized by the industry.

luxury fabrics coupled with a styling which is flattering to every single woman on the

planet, pieces which can be worn forever, not flash-in-the-pan looks, but edgy

& sophisticated. 

the 2 sisters have become famous for their fashion-design skills

without using their name on any of their labels,

but by laboring hard and building their brands on the merit of the brand,

not on being TV stars from another time.

I applaud them.

& then there is

Marc Jacobs, Resort 2013

striking interplay of proportion, color & floral prints

inspired by an artist's painting of clowns.

clown-like this is not.

the longer lengths, these wonderfully casual striped Tee-Shirts & Dresses

will be seen EVERYWHERE I'm predicting,

but not with those shoes, and not worn like these photos which are showing

the outfits, not the people.

I realize I'm gotta get slapped for liking this collection, but I see the
wearability and styling as something I could work with.
Marc is a trend setter, and I surely do like this trend, and so will all the younger
consumers...the ones who purchase NEW fashion all the time, the ones who make the
marketplace.  just slow way down and try to visualize how these looks can work for you...
maybe only wear the little tee with slacks or a pencil skirt?

the maxi dress is fabulous and can go from morning to midnight,

just change accessories...
