He Said/She Said

Here are a few quotes, from a few famous fashion designers...in no particular order! This is what inspires me, this is what sometimes keeps me going:I don't design clothes, I design dreams. - Ralph Lauren

I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes. - Yves Saint Laurent

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. - Coco Chanel

Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it. - Yves Saint Laurent

The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural - Calvin Klein

But I'm not an artist. Maybe an artist with a small a. - John Galliano

The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress. - Hubert de Givenchy

About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs. - Manolo Blahnik

The essence of style is a simple way of saying something complex. - Giorgio Armani

Chanel is composed of only a few elements, white camellias, quilted bags and Austrian doorman's jackets, pearls, chains, shoes with black toes. I use these elements like notes to play with. - Karl Lagerfeld

Less is MORE

Meet Ramona Rus, an up-coming Romanian fashion-designer from Timisoara. This is her first collection, called M.B.D.- Minimal Black Dress.

What I love about her work is how clean it is. Not too much fuss, nothing over the top, but enough creativity to make it special. Keep up the good work and may we see more of your creations!

Sexual Philosophy

Back to school, back to the drawing board, back with our noes in book. Or?...

From Atelier Eugenia Enciu comes the limited edition lingerie collection called Sexual Philosophy! The motto: Dare to undress!

Pufff...what can I say? I'll do what I always do: OBEY!!!!:))))From: Atelier Eugenia Enciu

Walk My Way!

...or the United Nude way! I am a big fan of this brand (and also a buyer) as I'm sure many of you out there are too! Don't you just LOVE them?From: United Nude

Zipp It!

Or unzip it...or whatever you want to do with it!From Sebastian Errazuriz comes the zipper dress (and more if you check out the site).

What might be most remarkable about this design is how quickly it can shift from elegant to sexy, a full-length, single-piece dress one could potentially wear to work into a skimpy, short-cut, two-piece number that could put some bikinis to shame. In between there are any number of other options for shortening the top or bottom or even leaving some zippers partly on and partly off.
