This was an occasion where one of my friends, who studies at the Fashion Institute of Ft Lauderdale, needed to do a project for one of her classes that was a modern take on a vintage photo. We took a few pictures that were in a sequential order and ultimately told a story that ended with a picture similar to this famous photo:
If you don't know where this photograph is from...or when it was taken, I have one question...have you been living under a rock your whole life? Just kidding. Anyways, its a famous picture that was taken in New York City (Times Square), when it was announced that the World War II was over. This photograph was taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt.
Below you'll find my friends idea of this same famous photo, with a modern twist.
Needless to say, she got an A for having two great models! And it definitely was a blast, and it's not the first shoot I've done with her. I think it was here when I first did her this favor that I was so excited to wear a vintage dress and be photographed that my curiosity for fashion was born!
One of the youngest winners of the show Project Runway, Christian Sirirano, 26, who just happened to be one of my favorites of the seasons show, now has a line of shoes at Payless, among other successes. He was the winner of Project Runway season 4 in 2010 and since then he's gained over $1.2 million. So he can basically retire at 26. Personally I loved his style, ever since I saw his work on Project Runway, and I'll insert another video below of one of his Spring fashion shows in New York Fashion Week, where only the best, most prestigious fashion designers are present!
His Spring collection in my opinion, isn't over the top, and very wearable. Which honestly, sometimes, when watching NY Fashion Week, some of the clothes I see the models wearing, are not only obviously out of my price range, but its so extravagant that I can't imagine wearing it outside of my house. Anywho, enjoy the videos!
Dr Martens boots are going to be my next purchase. All black, they're going to be beautiful. You can never go wrong with a simple outfit and just making it cute with a hat and some Ray Bans. If only I could take the clothes off the models in these pictures and put them in my closet..

You'll probably see a lot of Emma Watson in future posts!
This is the first time I'm making a blog dedicated to one sole topic. I decided on fashion because I think its what catches my attention most. I can't get enough of seeing photographed models in crazy, beautiful clothing. I love seeing how fashion trends change constantly, how old styles come back, and I love keeping up with my favorite celebrities fashion sense. So that's what you'll find here. If I see something interesting one day, then you'll most definitely read about it.
Please leave me feedback, I'd appreciate it. Enjoy!
