"Jean Paul Gaultier’s show tonight was an absolute hoot," Eric Wilson stated in the blog on New York Times.Jean Paul Gaultier paid tribute to pop stars from the 1980s.  "Models were dressed to look like different artist from the 1980s, so hilariously accurate," says Eric.  Model Lindsey Wixson was dressed in colored- denim sequins, Jessica Stam was dressed like Madonna and Joan Smalls in a tight lace black dress. It was a fun, time capsule moment.

The A-line dress is a trend that will never go out of style.  As I was walking down the streets of New York, I noticed a A-line dress.  It was so fascinating, I thought it was a two piece outfit.  It is black and white two-piece attached at the waist with a zipper closure in the back.  Simple but still stylish, made from two different texture of fabrics.

A-line dress is taking New York by storm, from street to street. 

Looking in the stores, there are various stores that sells A-line dresses.  Stores like JCrew, Banana Republic and Zara.

The trend for Fall 2013

I have predicted that the trend for Fall 2013 is the A-Line shift dress.  This silhouette of dress is adopted by designers like Victoria Beckham, Tracey Reese, Ruffian, and Christian Siriano. The A-Line dress is a silhouette that is classic and will nevwer go out of style. 

As featured in the New York Times for the Fall 2012 collections.

Blogs I love

My number one favorite blog is the Tory Burch Blog.  I love how she mixes inspirations with news and what's new for Tory Burch.  She talks about the interns and how important they are in the business world.  CEO's of  businesses have learned from interns about the new trends, what the new generations of today likes to do and wear.  First hand information is very helpful for the business world. 
She tells us what her inspiration for her Fall collection came from.  She calls it Inspiration: Deep Green, which was posted Monday, August 27, 2012.  The lust green trees, and plants in the garden.  They are all placed in a collage, truly inspiring.

The Saratorialist.com is a great blog that talks about what people is wearing in the streets in Paris, Florence and New York.  It show's us how colors can be mixed, like the purple, green and yellow combination that took place in Florence.  I love the pop of yellow that she wore in her shoes.
