I know that it's barely August but myself and the other slaves to fashion are already looking forward to the unveiling of this fall's collections. I literally had a dream last nite of being able to rework my favorite vintage over sized Dior sweater into a fabulous ensemble that included patent leather camel and black 4''spectator pumps and pearls. The image was so fab it didn't even matter that there were no pants or skirt. It was empowering and a little bit naughty.
I will be equally as naughty when I attempt to get into MAGIC 2010. Notoriously difficult to attend if you are not privileged enough to be a buyer or vendor. This convention is held twice a year for buyers to peruse the upcoming seasonal offerings. To my knowledge it is the largest convention of its kind despite its exclusivity. Passes to this event go for upwards of $250 and is not open to the public. That means me. My plan is to work my connections and land either a pass or an internship working for a vendor as my ticket in.
If you're asking why would I go to all this trouble, then you haven't been paying attention. 2 words, Fall Preview. Not to mention all the free stuff companies and designers give away. And as with all events, a chance to network with industry people. Provided I can pull this off and not get arrested I will have some interesting things to share. Tho I guess a jail story would be pretty good too.
A couple of other exciting fashion coming attractions to look forward to. Of course the opening of the flagship H&M store @ Forum Shops. I can't wait. This location should be getting the limited edition collections that were only exclusive to the New York and LA stores. Also premiering in Las Vegas soon is a cool label from London called All Saints. They feature laid back funky pieces for men and women that won't kill my already strained wallet. I'm already having a love affair the open toe leather cage sandals shown above. Check out these shoes and more @ Allsaints.co.uk. The location and opening date are still pending but when I know you'll know.
I was watching Sex and the City movie today. I still foam at the mouth over the clothes and I still laugh till I almost pee. They just take me to my happy place.
