Junya Watanabe



Watanabe, is a Japanese Fashion designer. Who is also very different in the fashion world...Internationally. What makes me love his work, is his creativity and definition of his clothing and how he want his model to act which brings up a story on the clothes. He started his own line under the Comme Des Garçons name called 'Junya Watanabe Comme Des Garçons' in 1993 and began showing in Paris that same year.



I'm very much in love with his overall "dark" and "melancholic" concept which even falls into completely beauitful ART. His couture designs are very intriguing and Watanabe is truly one of the masterminds in the fashion industry...world wide.

The thing about CHANEL




Alright, I just want to get this off my chest and tell you all about my view on this beautiful historic label. I DARN love this brand and of course the women behind all of it, COCO CHANEL. Her clothings and handbags...makes me want to get rich and buy all her vintage and timeless stuff! Jesus, how could anyone not resist the beautiful quilted details and the signature color way of gold and black? A couple months ago, I was roaming around the East Village and stumble upon a thrift shop named "No Relation", and let me tell you...That place is a treasure! Sure, they have tons of old and unattractive clothings instock...But once you dig deeper, the search is definitely worth it! I happily walked away with a 30 DOLLARS Chanel messenger. It was DARLING, and so old...(Which I love) and even though it's not in the best condition I still have to have it because that vintage CHANEL essense gets me all the time. Getting to the point of this, Coco Chanel will ALWAYS be my favorite highend handbag designer. Starting ever since the 1900s, the material and the signature elegance of the pearl and luxurious cardigans makes me fall in love, just thinking about it.
