Controversy

 

I was reading Nymag.com/fashion and I saw the article about Amy Winehouses father being upset about Jean Paul Gaultier's "Winehouse-inspired couture show". Her father told a british newspaper: "The family were upset to see those pictures, they were a total shock. We're still grieving for her loss, and we've had a difficult week with the six month anniversary of Amy's death. To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting or consulted on ... We're proud of her influence on fashion but find black veils on models, smoking cigarettes with a barbershop quartet singing her music in bad taste. It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best and glamorises some of the more upsetting times in her life. That's upsetting for her family." I can understand how the family would be upset because it seems commercial and only trying to make a profit. Her father then goes on to say that Gaultier should donate to the fund they have set up for troubled teens under Amy Winehouses name; aren't they trying to get a profit as well? While on the other hand I think Amy would be happy to see what an influence she has on the fashion industry. Not everyday are you the inspiration for a couture show! I mean how many famous people and ideas do people get permission from I really don't think its that serious. What do you guys think? Here are some pictures from the show.

Va fashion Week 2011!

Hello everyone! I have been away for a while I apologize school and work have me busy. I also wanted to wait until va fashion week came to post again! As some of you know I participated in va fashion week this year as an emerging designer! My hair and makeup person was awesome (Tangie Edwards) and my models were great (payton taliaferro, tia austin edwards, tymara austin edwards, bianca cherry and nina) ! Here are the five looks.I was inspired by skin, blood and darkness. The red is blood or dried up blood and the browns a representation of skin. The lady is in a nightmare and she takes the skin off of others and wears it and its basically blood and skin and tape everywhere. The black tape is represented by the black and purple dress that you will see. The hair is wild for a nightmare and the eyes are red. Enjoy!
