Obama for Democratic candidate. And Proenza Schouler for God

Yes yes....I am glad to see that Obama is kicking some Clinton ass. The string of losses is getting her into panic mode. which is quiet amusing to see her scrambling with her campaign advisors in last attempts to win the remaining states.

anyways.......now onto more important things...like Proenza Schouler fall 2008.

Wow. I think the main element that made me fall in love was the colors. Just look and stare at the purple blouse. Can a color get any more intriguing? The collection is simple and i hate to say the word "chic" but it is. Very Jack-and-lazaro-esque. can't get enough of it. probably won't be able to afford it....that's why they are like God. They create beautiful things, yet they are so unattainable.

Roberto who??

Ever since the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund started in 2004, fresh designers have been getting increasingly into the spotlight. When did Proenza Schouler start their line? 2002....and just this past year tied with legendary Oscar da le Renta for womenswear designer of the year.

Vogue's current issue does a story with Kate Boseworth and "the hottest" designers....is it coincidence that every single name was at one point a nominee or the winner of the CFDA fund? Or is just that people are starting to appreciate new and innovating designs over premium names such as Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, etc.
