Menswear for Girls

One of my favorite blogs highlighted this bad ass chic most recently.  In her short interview the question was posed "Who is your style icon?".  Her answer:

"No one person really . . . I’m influenced alot by looking at sexy boys in the street. I never look at other girls really. I’d love to make my own menswear for girls one day though."


Girl, you let me know and I'll be your first customer.  A girl after my own heart.

Liv

I miss seeing Liv Tyler around.  What is she doing?  Think she's being married and having babies or something, but I think she's a stunner and I wish she would come back.

Commune

I admire this design collective so much.  I'm a little unclear on their structure, but their mix of design, art, and general collaboration makes my heart sing.  I would love to be a part of something like this:

Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen

I'm mixed on my feelings about fall 2011 Alexander McQueen.  Actually I think a lot of it was pretty awful, but I thought these were some stand outs.

Madewell

A few things I was drooling over at Madewell today . . .

Transformations

before

after

I almost always think they look better before.  I guess it's my hippy girl roots.  I love this tricky thing they do on T magazine blog.
