Betsey Johnson's still got it!

I always like the most eccentric designers. I just nfound these pictures on style.com, and I really like this collection. Betsey Johnson has been around for years, and I think that this is one of her best collections in years. Usually, her clothes look like they are only for teenagers, but there are some things in this collection that I would love to have, and at the age of 50, would not feel too silly being seen in them. I had hoped to make it to fashion week in person this year, but decided it was too expensive. Oh well, I'm still hoping to get there one of these days.

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.

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.
