CONCRETE RUNWAY

Top 5 Designers I Would LOVE To Intern For

These are the places, if I had the chose, I would work for before starting my own line:

1. Alexander McQueen- Top of my list. The most genius man i’ve ever seen and Sarah Burton is doing a good job maintaining his legacy. Ideally I’d want to take over after her…..in a perfect world.

2. Givenchy- Initially, I wouldv’e said I’d only want to work here if Riccardo Tisci stayed on until I realised all my favorite designers (Riccardo, Galliano, McQueen) worked there at one point. Riccardo is an artist.

3. John Galliano- Regardless of his personal opinions and your own opinions, you have to admit that would he does is truly beautiful and it would be an honor to learn his technique.

4. Ann Demeulemeester- Love her aestethic, love her ideas, love her shows, love her.

5. Haider Ackermann- His drapery skills are legendary and for good reason. The things he does with fabric and his ability to take normal clothing and arrange it to look interesting is remarkable.

Trend Talk #10

I know I talked about the Statement Shoe, but today my favorite trend is the Statement Heel. Now, not to confuse you, but what I mean by statement heel is a seemingly ordinary shoe with a heel that’s different from your standard spike. It’s like a little surprise you didn’t know existed until she turned sideways. Case in point, the heelless Nina Ricci’s.
