designer spotlight: hussein chalayan

Images from style.com

My boredom induced me to check out style.com (a site I don't even frequent that much because I'm too busy perusing fashion blogs) and peep what was happening. I stumbled upon Hussein Chalayan because I remember that Lady Gaga wore this awesome bubble dress by the famed up-and-comer.

What I really dig about Chalayan is his command of all the trends that are going on right now.

• Ruffles
• Hoodies (part of the outerwear trend)
• Sleek tailoring
• Oversized menswear
• Minimalistic femininity

All of these trends are done up to a tee, and it looks absolutely breathtaking. Not only that, but it can be done in real life. Anybody can layer a hoodie underneath an oversized blazer and get away with it. No extra-special Hollywood frills here!

In other news. . .



Me and my friend Autume peeped the Attack Attack! show on Friday. Let's just say, for one, that I learned a very valuable lesson after being sandwiched between hot people for about two hours.



Faux leather (or probably any leather for that matter) is a bad. wardrobe. choice.

But other than that. . .



Me and this vanilla scoop named Devin Oliver (lead singer of I See Stars, one of the openers) managed to take a pic together. It was. . . bliss. I still can't believe he's only 17. Jailbait!
