All Around the World

  Fashion is an international visual language.  Creativity in clothing can be found anywhere on the globe.  I hope you enjoy the designs I've posted today.  Glad the world has many different cultures with their own twist on fashion.   The gorgeous dresses here belong to ( in order) Norway, Canada (designed by a Native Canadian designer), Japan and the last dress is an African inspiration.

Summer Dressing

I haven't worn a dress for so long.... I wear blouses with skirts, but I couldn't tell you the last time I've worn a dress.  That has to be corrected this summer.  My daughter noticed an increased amount of ladies at the church we've visited (my son was visiting another church ) for a while wearing skirts and dresses yesterday (which happened to be Fathers Day and also the first day of summer).  I'm going to perceive it as the ladies wanting to dress up for their husbands in honor of Fathers Day.  I said to my daughter that I'm going to make a dress to wear ( I'll try and make that 3 dresses).  A change in a person's life/ routine is nice, and 2015 has been a year of quite a bit of change for me (good changes).

Phenomenal Peter Pilotto Prints

The dresses speak for themselves.  The design team of Peter Pilotto has a special gift of combining prints to make (ph)antastic clothes (lol).  May they continue the print experiment.

A Few Dresses That Get My Applause

Belated Happy New Year everyone.  And how is your year going so far?  

I think I'd like to start wearing day dresses for this year.  I'm usually in a blouse and skirt or pant.  A dress, one garment on instead of two, could possibly mean less time getting dressed.  

Here are a few dresses whose cut, color and assembly are soooo attractive.  I hope you enjoy.

I think I'm a fan of Jeremy Laing now.  If you see his picture, he looks like a kid, but his clothing designs are incredible, and he's Canadian!  Till next blog!

A Popular African American Designer: Tracy Reese

African American female fashion designers that are recognized are few.  But then I mean "recognized" in terms of nationally.  There are many talented African American fashion designers that haven't made the "big time" as yet, but are very popular among their circles.  My research for recognized designers thus far has brought me to Tracy Reese, one of the top Black designers as well as one of the top American designers.

Tracy Reese was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1964.  She grew up in a family of women who loved to sew.  Tracy studied fashion at Parsons, and upon graduating, worked for Sitbon, Perry Ellis and Magaschoni.  In 1995 she had the opportunity to start her own clothing line, and in 2006 Tracy opened her first flagship store.  Tracy is still creating fantastic designs today. Tracy's website is www.tracyreese.com.
