FashioNation Fashion Week 2010 Recap!

"The Takeoff"

Last week here at Texas State University FashioNation hosted it's 2nd annual fashion week. It was beautiful! The week was full of different events everyday all centered around Cancer Research and Awareness.

Friday night the "Bald is Beautiful" event was held at Mink Salon. It showcased "bald" models in dramatic makeup and embraced the beauty in being bald and was meant to encourage cancer patients and survivors to push through, keep the faith and dream BIG!

Saturday was the big day. "The Takeoff" Fashion show was held at the San Marcos Municipal Airport. WWII airplanes surrounded the runway as 1940's themed student models strutted in Betsy Johnson, Kenneth Cole, Saks plus many more and even collections from the two founders of FashioNation...Dominque Bedford and Melarie Benson. It was stressful, fun, chaotic, exciting and SO worth every minute of hard work that was put into it. FashioNation is amazing and everyone should be on the lookout for what we have in store for the next school year! :)

Forever Failure!

So I was a little dumbfounded today when I was on the Forever21 website and came across this  "couture" jacket...

I wonder if she requested to have most of her face cut out off the picture...hmmm
It looks like something from the Victorian era (which COULD be fashionable if modernized) crossed with a hefty bag.

  

I mean I understand new styles are inspired by past fashions but this is horrible! Is it just me or did the buyers at F21 really miss the target on this one :\

OK so this has nothing to do with beauty or fashion but I just can not stop watching this performance from last weeks Dancing With The Stars! Derek Hough and Chelsea Hightower perform an acoustic pasodoble that just took my breath away!...her dress is pretty hot too....there you go, i threw some fashion in for ya! :)
