she moved the transparency and got yelled at, +10 points for the pathetic losers

Sorry for the lack of posts lately (gosh, really can't say that enough). You can thank my social studies teacher for that. And, HEY, if any of you feel like throwing on a disguise and coming to class to take my 200 point Revolutionary War test for me too, you are more than welcome!

Anyways, I'm finally doing Fashion Week coverage. I liked the obvious ones, like Christopher Kane and Luella, but when I came across these designers I'd never heard of I thought I'd post. As for the editing skills, bear with me, I am still trying to figure out photoshop.I'm not totally obsessed with any of these like I was with other collections I saw (more posts later), in all of them there are a few looks I love and the rest are sort of "eh", as indicated by my captions. What do you think?

Also, I know you are all as tired of me babbling on about Belle as you are of the lace trend, but she entered a contest over at Queen Gilda and seriously deserves to win. Best dance moves and MC Hammer impression ever, hands down. So as you're getting on your Groucho Marx glasses and brushing up on the Battle of Bunker Hill for me, please head on over and leave a comment for Belle!

    Im fraid I really did not like Christopher Kane. I seem to be the only vogue-reading person who doesnt like that collection.
    I thought elie kishimito copied marc jacobs fall rtw color schemes a little too much, but I do agree with you on the last collection.

    Ooh, I really love Eley Kishimoto's collection, but I have to agree about the one dress and Lisa Frank folders! I used to be slightly obsessed with those as a toddler...

    I loved Christopher Kane, I'm a sucker for sequiny things, but it sure ain't everyone's cup of tee.
    Ah, now I see what you mean with the color schemes. Man...yeah, the last dress in the top row of the Eley collage reminds me of Marc Jacobs a little too much...

    I really like Eley Kishimoto's line. Probably has to do with my affinity to colour.
    American History sucks bawlz. I'm in AP us history (we call it APUSH lol) and it's like the worst decision everrrr. I'm actually supposed to be doing some hw for that right now....

    I love Eley Kishimoto, but I agree with The Stylish Wanderer that it's a little MJ-ish. Good luck with school stuff.

    ah, u.s histpry 1, i remember it well. if you do need help though, don't ask belle, we were in the same class and she did nothing but doodle and stare at the wierd androgenous video game character that was the backround on a computer screen, yeah.

    I think your blog is awesome, your writing is really nice/fun to read!
    Probably many asked it before but how old are you? Just curious..
    Like the collections you choose, your photoshop skills are not bad at all!

    I love your thoughts on the collections - very spot on/funny at the same time. And I do remember that lisa frank stuff and I agree that dress 5 is reminiscent.
