let’s take a moment…

So – I decide to get back in the game…
I have decided to apply for FAT – otherwise known as Toronto Alternative Fashion Week.
I need to make 5 outfits by the beginning of December in order to have a photoshoot in order to apply.
I work full time in an office – have I mentioned this before?
I’m [...]

Brook’s Quicky – Paris FW SS10 – Alexander McQueen

Mr Alexander McQueen;
You are just f***ing amazing. I have wanted to eat your brains in hopes of a fashion-zombie-like-absorption of your talents… don’t be freaked out – this is my ultimate fashion compliment.
Just. wow. And I’m having a hard time trying to put the words in the correct order to explain without sounding really weird. [...]

Brooky’s Quickie – Paris FW SS10 – Chanel

There’s nothing more french than Chanel, is there?
I always envisioned that if you are born Parisian, they wrap you in Chanel tweed at the hospital.
Chanel shows always have these GIGANTIC set productions which probably cost more than my house, and this year they took it to the farm, literally. Models strutted around a quaint country [...]

Brooky’s Quicky – Paris FW – SS10 – Christian Dior

Oh la la, j’adore Dior
Well it looks like Mr Galliano got deep into the Film Noir this time. When this guy gets a theme – he runs with it and sticks to it. Trench coats; short and long, wide and skinny – you will wear trench coats next summer. Galliano has declared.
Every model had Veronica [...]

Brooky’s Quicky Paris FW SS10 – Balenciaga

Balenciaga is a label that I probably will never 1) the legs or 2) the bravery to wear.
It’s a brand that I like to observe, like on a safari. Whenever Jennifer Connelly shows up at an event, I sit back and stare at the art in motion.
Like abstract art, first you’re slapped in the face with [...]

Brooky’s Quicky – Milan FW SS01 – Gucci

Every time I fantasize about living in Europe with my Sugar-Daddy Giovanni (this happens occassionally…I work in an office – don’t judge) I always envision myself with wind- blowing-in-hair and wearing Gucci.
Gucci = entrance. Every time you see an amazon walk into a room and there is instant daaaaamn (that’s the sound of the sexy [...]

Brook’y Quicky – Milan FW SS10 – Prada

Bonjourno Italia!!!
There is something I always think of when I think of Prada;  balls.
As in  – You have to have balls to wear Prada. Every time I see a woman in Prada, all that’s goes through my head is ‘damn!’.
There is a level of sophistication and confidence you MUST have to wear Prada. Otherwise…it just doesn’t work.
The [...]

Brooky’s Quicky – NYFW SS01 – Issac Mizrahi

So I sat down tonight ready to finish off my Quickies in New York Fashion Week (oh that’s a bit naughty sounding) and I decided to finish with the fabulous Issac Mizrahi.
But then I got side-tracked. I got a case of remember the times, you know, remember that time when Issac Mizrahi had his own talk [...]

Brooky’s Quicky – NYFW SS10 – Michael Kors

Have I mentioned before that my cable got cut off? It was a few months ago, and I’m still bitter.
I miss Project Runway SO BAD! And I’m one of the freaks who enjoys the judges! Seriously! Nina does not scare me, Ich Liebe Heidi! And of course, Michael K0rs.
Mr Kors is someone I think of [...]

Brooky’s Quicky – NYFW SS10 – Betsy Johnson

Get down, get funky – its Betsy Johnson time.
This lady make me smile…everytime.
When I am sick of people trying to find the deep meaning of eighties shoulders and mesh pants, telling me 3 years head of time that people will wear teal (I don’t know that – but know you what I mean). Betsey Johnson reminds [...]
