feminism

Irving Penns photographs really struck me; I really admire how he portrays such class and grace within all of his photos, especially the ones pertaining woman. These photos show elegance, and grace, class, beauty, femininity, strength, sex, and all the traits I think a true woman should have. Especially now a days, since woman are moving up in to world and where they stand. A woman, isn't a true woman if she doesn't have class. At least that is what I believe.







For a woman of grace,
whom smells of rosemary and
her eyes are made of crystal scrapings,
she stands of such elegance and such poise,
one which only a woman of grace would endure

For a woman of grace
With her angelic like smile, and her porcelain skin
her manner of speaking, portrays confidence and cleverness
As the pearls drape from her meek bones, and the silk
furnishes her lengthy pose
one which only a woman of grace would endure

For a woman of grace
the spotlight seems to gleam on her,
whenever her presence is graced upon an array of folks,
for her aura stands of mystique, and enigma, like a sphinx
that no man could defy, even with the strength of 1,000 suns
one which only a woman of grace would endure

For a woman of grace
she stands taller then the tallest sky scrapper
with her velvet main, and her luxurious strut.
For you are the it woman; you are the icon of a million girls dreams...
and you will never fail to let them down, because you, my woman
are a woman of grace, so keep strutting,
keep strutting, woman of grace....

more inspiration








I find Balenciagas Spring 08 collection, to be the up most inspiring. I admire the way the majority of the garments are very armor-esk looking. As if out of the 1500's battles. The dresses are so graceful and angelic like; I think it just defines the woman as she is when you look at her. You just think of a woman who is strong, and confident, and sexy and one with class; Which I believe are four of the most important traits a true woman should pertain.


"She was a woman who, between courses, could be graceful with her elbows on the table."

More photos





Accomplished




The fashion show went absolutely fabulous. More then what I ever expected. My outfits looked brilliant on my models, and my models worked the runway so well in my outfits. I was so proud of myself, and my models. I most certainly picked my models wisely. The show was so inspiring to me, it was such a rush watching the models work my outfits down the runway; having people cheer, and snap photos left and right. Something I'm so thankful for experiencing, I know now that I certainly want to do fashion design for the rest of my life. All of the work, and the hours spent in solitude, the nerves, the anxiety was all so worth all of the pats on my back and the "Good Jobs!" and the applause.


My photos unfortunetly could not come out to the best of their abilities, but here they are....
