#3 New York Times Blog

I read the fashion review "It’s Easy to See It Raf Simons’s Way" by Cathy Horyn.  She wrote about Raf Simon's new Jil Sander collection for Spring 2012.  After viewing his collection, fashion editors have been praising Simon's collection, saying that he deserves a Paris house. It's amazing how much he has learned in the past five years and all that he has extracted from Jil's universe.

The article continues to talk about and describe his new collection.  Cathy Horyn uses different descriptive words to talk about the fashion.  She expresses everything in great details, so the readers can picture the clothing and get a better idea of what she is talking about. She describes the prints by using words like fresh, lightened-up, and paisley.  She talks about the different fabrics and describes their colors and materials used such as white, blue, navy, ginghamcotton, and stretch.  Horyn talks about a jacket and describes it as snappy, then mentions the matching slim pants. The jackets are then described as lightweight, with a half lining of stiffened organza and an interior tie, which creates a contoured silhouette.  All these words describe the color, the fabric, the look, and the fit of the clothing.

#2 Fall Trend

Sheer is Here!

My must have item for this fall is anything SHEER. From sheer tops to sheer skirts to sheer bell bottoms to sheer maxi dresses, sheer is everywhere. This look can be worn dressed up or dressed down, depending on how you interpret it.
