I've read Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, W Magazine, Essence & Elle since I was knee high to a fly! Obviously enough, Essence, Ebony & Jet were the favz in my house...we are Black! I've always loved Fashion Fair & by the time I twelve, I was familar with Iman, Beverly, Sheila & Naomi Sims before Naomi Campbell by first name basis. I knew who Diane Von Furstenburg was, Halston, Gucci, & many big name designers were before they became famous for who they are today. Sure we had Chanel, Christian La Croix, Ferragamo & Dior to name a few. They are the classics commitee to me. Donna Karan, Calvin, Tommy Hil & Adrienne came out a little later on in the game. Before there were Lou Bou's there were Fred Braun, Joan & David, Charles Jourdan, Andrew Geller. The List goes on. In the eighties, I wore Andrew Geller shoes and lusted for Gucci.
Then the introduction of designer bags for the mainstream working class came into play. Gucci being the front runner. I had my first Gucci at sixteen years old, I was fond of Gucci...but I LOVED FENDISSIMO! Fendi is comprised of five sisters from Italy & their bags were phenomenal! I bought my first Fendi at 17 years old! Ha!
There is so much I LOVE about the world of fashion, but it takes a woman of class to pull it off. Any body can put on the best Alaia or Herve Legere dress...but if you don't look the part, you can't pull it off! With that said I'm going to leave it at this, you can wear anything from Old Navy to Target to Haute Coutoure...but if you "AIN'T GOT IT" all the class & front seats in the world won't help you!
Fashion Week is on my to do list before I die...but its only for the "Classy Elite!" Don't matter what you wear...It's All An Illusion;)
