The Best of the Best

Winner: EmilioJonathan's design
Janeane Marie's design
So the first episode of Project Runway has officially aired!!! Above are my favorite of the designs that strutted down the runway on last night's episode. My favorite design actually won!!! The first picture is the winning design, and I think it is just lovely. If you want to see the rest of the designs, then go to the Project Runway website. I love the pattern on the dress that Emilio made, and the colors go together beautifully!!! The structure of the dress is also gorgeous. Jonathan's dress is something I would wear. I love the belt and the pattern at the top. The contrast of the black and the cream is just stunning. Janeane Marie's design looks like something you would see come down the runway for sure. The sheer fabric gives it a pretty and feminine look that I love. Christiane went home, and I was certainly glad she did. I think creativity, talent, and ability were laking for her. She's not a horrible designer, but she just didn't ad up to the rest. This season promises great style, I can't wait to see what comes next!!! Since I love Project Runway so much, I'm going to be doing an article on each episode after it airs. If you watch the show, then post about your favorite designers and who you think did the best!!!

So today I was working on my project for my A.P. Language class. I had to make a scrap book page on 1920's fads. I'm also currently reading a biography on Coco Chanel, so I'm completely in love with 1920's fashion right now. I love Coco Chanel's designs. She made "men" pieces feminine. I'm also a big fan of black and white. Its elegant, simple, and chic. Forever 21 has a lot of accessories that fit the 1920's theme. They have pearl necklaces and cloche hats. I really just want to put on a little black dress, a ton of pears, and a cute hat right now. I love Drew Barrymore's 1920's inspired look at the Grey Gardens Premiere. She's wearing an Alberta Ferretti dress with Fred Leighton jewels. The light colored veil is so feminine and girly, but its also mature and elegant. I think flappers, pearls, and all things 1920's need to come back again....you with me!?!?

So here are some of my favorite Coco Chanel quotes: (http://thinkexist.com/quotes/coco_chanel/)
"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."
"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."
"Fashion fades, only style remains the same."
