Rest In Peace, Alexander McQueen

What a loss! I didn't know anything about Alexander McQueen as a person, but he was one of my favorite designers. Its so sad when a relatively young person takes his own life. Even though I didn't know him,it makes me wish that I could have done something to save him. This picture is by the extremely talented Danny Roberts at http://igorandandre.blogspot.com.

Swash fashion designers feature Illustration art


Although this blog is ostensibly about fashion illustration, I haven't had time to do much lately. I've been too busy with my "real" job and being a single mom. Today, I looked at Susie Bubble's blog (http://stylebubble.typepad.com) and found some photos of clothing by a British design team who go by the name of Swash. I just learned that Swash is a partnership of Sarah Swash and Toshio Yamanaka, and you can visit their website at http://swash.co.uk .

Cute Dance and Exercise Clothes from JMorco!


I love to dance and take dance classes. I live in a rural small town and Walmart is one of the few stores that we have here. They have a fairly good selection of workout clothes, but they are pretty ordinary. When I saw these clothes from JMorco on Etsy, I was motivated to make some of my own altered couture.

PPLongstocking on Etsy has amazing wigs!


Oh my gosh, I would love to have one of these! I found these wigs today on Etsy and they are just so clever! I've never seen anything like this before. They are made by somebody calling themselves PPLongstockings on Etsy. I would love to see more of her work.

Missoni Pre-fall 2010 collection is wonderful!













Here in the midwestern US, winters can be pretty brutal. Its important on cold days to dress in layers, which is not always a flattering style. On the other hand, if I had a wardrobe like this, I would be more excited about going out in the cold. It's not easy to coordinate all these great shapes, colors and prints. This collection shows outstanding design and talent.
