Raf Simons To Dior!

I JUST found out via twitter that Raf Simons has been tapped as Dior's new designer. This should be incredibly interesting. I have no doubt that Mr.Simons can do well at Dior, but it just seems like such a clash of aesthetics! I think of Dior as a very luxurious, over-the-top, super feminine house. Raf, to me, is very cool, super minimal and to-the-point with his designs. I perfectly understood Marc Jacobs for Dior because Marc's designs are so fun and whimsical- he would have done wonderfully. But talks fell through between Dior and Jacobs last year. Alber Ebaz, as well, would have been just grand there. But Alber rejected Dior's offer. I was heartbroken when it was announced that Raf would be leaving Jil Sander, but I wasn't expecting this marriage. However, perhaps this would be a reinvention for Dior. It might be nice to get some fresh blood in the house and Raf's slightly more minimalistic vibe might be just what the house needs. We'll find out come July, won't we? I still don't 100% understand this match up, but I am happily ready to be proven wrong. 

Happy Fashion Week!!!

I'm seriously SO excited for fashion week! It will be my second one as a blogger, and I'm just as excited as I was for the shows in February. I know fashion week doesn't officially start until tomorrow, but today IS the IFB conference, and you can tune into that HERE. I went to the conference last year and loved it all. Today I'll be watching the IFB conference and doing the tedious job of finalizing my outfits (which isn't that hard, mainly because I don't have that many options to begin with. haha). Please stay tuned over the next couple days as a keep you updated about all my adventures! I'm taking part in several exciting things this week that I just can't wait to tell you about! If you can't be in NY for fashion week, don't sweat it. Here are some of my favorite links that will keep you in the loop for not just NYFW, but the entire fashion month!

Edith Head's Autograph

Your eyes deceive you not. That's Edith Head's actual signature.(I screamed too)

My grandfather was an art director in the fashion industry for many years. I knew he did work in that Industry, but I never thought to ask who his clients were.

I was just sitting and he says 

"Oh! Before I forget, I have something for you!"

So he led me into this room and said "Do you know who Edith Head is?" "YES! I LOVE her work!"

"Good! This is for you. 

"SHUT UP. THIS IS REAL? WHAT? SERIOUSLY? HOW DID YOU GET THIS???"

"I worked with her. I did a shoot with her where I shot her and some of her designs. She loved the photo's. Later I had this sitting on my desk and Edith came in and asked me if I wanted it signed."

*Justine passes out* haha I seriously almost did.

The thing she signed was a folder that was sent out to editors telling them about Edith Head For Vogue Patterns.

This Print was inside. I'm defiantly framing this. (The autograph on this one is a print)
