Passion for Fashion


So lately I have been severely obsessing over fashion blogs I religiously fallow  "Style Rookie" http://www.thestylerookie.com/    "Fashion Pirate" http://www.fashionpirate.net/ and "Fated to be Hated" http://ftbh.blogspot.com/  blogs. These girls always have a fresh insight on the concept of (mix and match, cheek grandma, vintage , kitsch) basically all my favorite things. I have been contemplating about starting my own Fashion blog with my own  daily outfits and ramblings  but have been to chicken to do this so far.  It seems that to fallow in the footsteps of pioneers such as Tavi Gevinson is not an easy task. Still lately my creative fashion side is exploding sort to speak. I have already posted some T-shirts  that I have made and will be posting more hand made stuff in the future, but for now I leave you here with some quick fashion sketches that I have been  fiddling with. With this mixed media pieces here I am attempting to  channel the Jean-Paul Goude sketch style as I have  seen in this wonderful documentary   titled "So Far, So  Goude "  here is a snippet of this  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnpXGCrgO5Y but you should really see the whole thing becuase its mind blowing!
