please check out my new video It Gets Better. It's for a great cause, putting the word out to the LGBT youths that it's ok to be you and it gets better. This is a project going on on youtube right now in response to the recent chain of suicides within the LGBT community. So please check it out and I urge all vloggers to make their own "It Gets Better" video, actually everyone should make one.
The Prince of Prints. This is a limited edition copy of the Emilio Pucci story, each of the 500 copies made are bound with a piece of original vintage Pucci fabric, and has four original drawings by the prince of prints himself. Along with the piece of original vintage Pucci fabric and four original drawings there is actual content to this book...which I would sincerely hope so when you're paying $1000 a pop for these vintage Pucci books.
Aristocratic Design, You Draw What You See, Wordly Inspiration, and Travels in Art are all some of the chapters featured in this limited edition vintage book. However, if you're not someone you has a grand lying around to spend on a vintage copy of the Pucci story, you can flip through a electronic version at TASCHEN Books, because who doesn't love the Prince of Prints?!
As we all know Alexander McQueen's collection, that he sadly left unfinished with his passing, was shown in Paris yesterday. The collection was finished by the late designers long time partner Sarah Burton, and she pulled off a success. She displayed her skill and knowledge of McQueen as a person throughout the show, however, some are concerned that the Alexander McQueen label will never be able to surpass this or his previous endeavors.
The collection was fabulous, but definitely a touchy subject and I really haven't had the time to analyze the whole thing as thoroughly as it deserves to be. I'll definitely need a few days for this one...
on that note I'm also in the process of reading the Alexander McQueen book, I'll have plenty of reading time when I'm flying home so in the next few days I'll review the book and the 2011 RTW collection together, in a special McQueen memorial post so stay posted for that!
