Black Fashion Designers - Clothing Evolution

It's Black History Month! I can't let this month end without bringing to your attention the fantastic work that's being done by people of African descent, no matter what part of the world they come from.

Men in Color

The men in color in this post are entertainers that we're familiar with.  It's refreshing to see men experiment with wearing colors as well as white clothes.  I'd like to see more men  in my neighborhood do the same thing.

Men's Streetstyles - 5 Countries Compared

What are men wearing in different countries?  I chose five countries to compare the streetstyles of fashionable men. They are:  Canada, Britain, Japan, Italy, and the United States.  One can somewhat see the personalities of the men and a hint of  the fashion sense of each country.

An Artistic Designer, Ballet Flats, and One More Thing...

I see some clothing designs and silhouettes as a form of art.  Fabric can be cut and draped and pleated into a piece of clothing interesting to behold.  Fabric can also have art drawn, painted, or printed on before or after the clothing piece is made.  Either way, wearing these types of clothes are a lot more fun and expressive.

One very nice designer I've come to "meet" and "talk" to (through Facebook e-mails) is Gail Cavanaugh.  She is an artist and entrepreneur, among other things, from Rhode Island, USA. Gail prints her watercolor designs on t-shirts, hoodies, tank tops, as well as cups, coasters, and cards.  She can make paintings according to your specifications or you can choose one of her many watercolors to have printed on an item of your choice at affordable prices.    I've recently purchased a Monarch butterfly coaster from Gail which I'm happy with.  It's very pretty.   Her website is www.cafepress.com/Cavcreate.

I'm planning what to purchase now for spring.  Have to budget ahead of time.  I find myself budgeting about 3 months in advance now.  One thing I need are a pair of flats.  I'm a woman who loves comfort, and I want to get around easily in low or no heels.  I was looking at flats in a popular department store catalogue and couldn't believe that some flats were priced at over $50, $60, and $70!  For the price concientious lady,  www.thecheapgirl.com (love the name of the website!) directs women looking for affordable items to locations having sample sales in Canada, the US, and Britain. These flats are priced under $20.00!

And one more thing.  I found this men's shirt online with an original plaid I like.  I couldn't not post it.  It's very original.  Could we call it an ombre plaid print?  What do you think?
