[Deleted member 7575]

really........?
you think i can do it?...it's so cool....
i really want to...


....

*i have to figure out the hair....

**the fact that you guys are so excited aobut the shows is definitely helping my attitude towards the whole situation...
thanks everyone....

...

Softie, seriously, you are going to look FABULOUS, how could there be any doubt?

Now I'm dying to know more about this Lanvin coat. Which season is it from softgrey?

 

[softgrey]

it's from prespring...

and it's ivory....with a hood and puffed 3/4 slvs....
i am having second thoughts though...
maybe it's too dramatic..
i think i will have to decide at the last minute with that one...

mutter - you're very sweet......
i am more concerned with how i will feel though....
i have to feel confident..
so nothing that makes me feel self-conscious...

^ it sounds fantastic! could you post a pic?

i hope that your LV pumps will make an appearance at fashion week! i know that they're from fall 2004, but hey...vintage is coolB)

 

[elschic111]

haha, that is so true about the shoes softgrey..(that we might recognize you by them)!

 

[Spike413]

It does sound like a cool jacket, softie. I'd say if you feel the urge then go for it!!

this coat sounds fantastic....
if you wear it with a simple dress, it could be wonderful...
a minidress would be perfect...

i'm wishing i was going to be in nyc for the shows...
but i will be for f/w 07!

acid...the coat for balenciaga sounds divine...

 

[softgrey]

thanks for the support guys...
yeah- the more i think about it the more i think-'why not'....
it's not really dramatic..it's just a coat...

if acid can wear a cape... (love it!!)
then i can certainly pull of the lanvin...

i'm feeling better about the shoes too...
i was worried that i might look a little 'victim-y'...
but every major store seems to have bought them so i think there is a chance that people will not be so......about them...
there is probably even a chance that someone else will have them...
this would be the first time i would actually be happy to see someone wearing the same thing i'm wearing...

...

although when i thought about it...
i realized that it may not be realistic to plan on wearing the same wood platform wedges for 6 days running........

jssy-- the LV's are out and ready for action...
and i have a few others that i am going to alternate...

i think i have at least seven outfits now-but i have to try stuff on...
make sure it looks ok...
*well-4 dresses and 3 outfits...sorta cheating, i know!!!...LOL...

kimair- fall is so much fun though...
you get to wear more layers and accessories etc...and BOOTS!!!

[JJohnson]

i wanted to attend a few shows but i dont think i will. i will be very busy, as a designer i dont normally attend too many shows as i am usually busy with my own. (aaarrrhhh im not showing this season , my best collection to date and it wont be shown. It sucks but its its the best thing for me and my company right now)
i am in the process of finishing my collection and getting ready to create my lookbook. Also now i dont have as much time anymore, as i now have a consultancy Job designing military apparel and combat gear . (i know , i know but it pays the bills baby, and gives me the money i need to keep this dream alive).
i will definately post pics when they are ready.
also Softie are you a stylist, or do you work with a stylist?
i have a list of stylist that i will be mailing lookbooks to , maybe i could add you to my list.

how come no one talks to me?

thats not true, i just responded to the pm you sent me.............

Although not in the same league, here in Brisbane (Australia), we are having our first fashion week, next week. I'm really excited to be able to get dressed up for the first time since moving back to oz from Hong Kong. Brisbane is VERY casual. I'm sure that alot of people will get dressed up for it too, as there's generally very little reason to otherwise! Anyway, i'll be wearing:

-Vintage white mini with gold braid empire waist with Gold YSL Dadas (evening functions)
- Vintage white mexican lace and cotton wedding dress (lace bell sleeves) cut short to a mini with grey stockings and Louboutin bruges (evening also)
- Vanessa Bruno black chiffon balloon sleeve top with black shorts (or nice jeans), chloe brown platforms and chloe whisky Edith (daytime)
- Vintage Black and white mini dress (bodice is black velvet, sleeves are white lace, dress is white cotton), stockings (not sure on colour), Louboutin black yo-yos or Louboutin Miss Boxe (any suggestions?). Black patent Fendi-b.

I have a few more evening outfits than day outfits...need to take them out tonight and see what I can come up with!
