Only Have The Time To Post Pictures Now A Days

Zac Posen + Target

_"Fast fashion is kind of like the mafia: Every time we think we're getting out, they pull us back in. This time it's the Zac Posen for Target designer collaboration that's luring us to the store, credit card in hand. Going through these images from the lookbook, we were duly impressed by the offerings. There are mostly dresses and skirts, with a couple swimsuits and even a chic, slim-cut black suit. The collection looks like Zac Posen, but less complicated and with a touch of the 80's.Of course we can't tell fabric quality from the photos, but the construction looks good, and that suit is only $90. Also there are ruffles.

It all goes on sale April 25. Highlights include a sexy, asymmetrical dress decorated with snap tape, and a yellow raincoat that looks like Courrèges and is only $49.99. We just realized we need to own a raincoat. What do you think?" [RACKED]

A Dress You Can Color Yourself

_"Berber Soepboer sells a black and white dress which comes with its own fabric markers for you to color it into whatever colors you want. It comes in 4 sizes and costs €238 (roughly $340)." [GETGLAMOROUS]

     They should really make more of this type of clothing, I know many people who would love to be able to color their own clothes, including me.

Lady GaGa Barbie Dolls

_"Barbies were a standard in our toy chests growing up, but to be honest, all her so-called "fashion" outfits tended to put us to sleep. Not anymore! Veik, a 29-year-old doll "player" from Beijing, has been giving ol' Barb some pizazz, styling them after some of Lady Gaga's most memorable outfits. And these aren't your average grade-school DIYs, either, because Veik has all the details—from Alexander McQueen lobster claw shoes to her changing hairstyles—down pat. Mattel, are you paying attention" [REFINERY29]

     Oh my god, I have to get one!

Julian Louie

_"This Santa Cruz native and graduate of Cooper Union is a triple threat. Not only a fashion designer, Julian Louie is a photographer and artist whose work has exhibited in New York galleries Vagabond and Stay Gold. Perhaps that's why Calvin Klein’s Creative Director Francisco Costa personally chose him to mentor.

     The two met during Louie’s unsuccessful internship bid, but a year later, Costa tapped him for the Italian Vogue/AWI (Australian Wool Innovation) Protégé Project. Over the course of 2007, Louie worked as a design assistant on Klein's spring, pre-fall and fall '08 collections, while Costa oversaw the fledgling’s first line. Equally "austere and opulent," as Louie describes it, the inaugural outing showed in Florence, Tokyo and Australia.

     Louie's fall 2009 show was inspired by matadors for the silhouette, samurai armor for the embroideries and knitwear and Olaf Otto Becker's photographs of Icelandic landscapes for the palette. Experimenting with heavy wool felt, Louie laser-cut jackets that were then assembled with rivets and centered the rest of the offerings around them. The asceticism was then set off with Swarovski sparkle, whether dusting the epaulettes of a jacket or cascading down the bodice of a dress. For Louie, "tension between elements is key," proving that Costa's instincts were on the mark. More at www.julianlouie.com" [SURFACEMAGAZINE]
