On February 28th, madness swept
Manhattan and fifty plus other cities across the United States. A
madness for ‘Mod’ that is. Emmy Award Winning Costume Designer <a href="http://janiebryant.com/" target="_blank">Janie Bryant</a> and
<a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/" target="_blank">Banana Republic</a> celebrated their third <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/division.do?cid=5343#slideName=look1" target="_blank">Mad Men capsule collection collaboration</a>
with a one night only in store event.<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Being absolutely obsessed with
the hit <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/division.do?cid=5343#slideName=look1" target="_blank">AMC TV</a> show and an adoring fan of anything that Janie Bryant does, I
made sure to 'clock out' early that night and headed uptown to the Banana Republic
at Rockefeller Plaza to join in on the festivities.</div>

Upon entering the store, I was immediately transported
into a world of bright geometric shapes, pops of color, and everything else
that makes Mod amazing. Models stood upon a center platform striking their best
Don and Megan stances while <a href="http://www.absolut.com/us" target="_blank">Absolute Vodka</a> martinis (the drink if the night)
flowed generously at a bar nearby.<br />

As I headed towards the Men's level, a server carrying a tray of bite size parfaits, which I welcomed at once, intercepted me. After downing the sugary morsels in one bite, I continued on my way, strutting in time to the music being emitted from a DJ booth near the entrance.<br />

Once I descended the stairs, it was time for business. I
bee-lined for the display housing all the pieces, that in a perfect world, would
find their home in my closet. It took no time at all before I was being
escorted into a fitting room with arms full of merchandise. Cardigans, sport
coats, and button up shirts were all tried on and all fit flawlessly, proof
that Janie Bryant truly has a gift for fit.<br />

A pretty penny later, I was walking out the front doors
with my wallet significantly lighter, but definitely feeling content without
any regret. I knew that the Mad Men Collection textured zip
cardigan, striped silk skinny tie, and two straw fedoras that lay in my
shopping bag were going to make excellent editions to my fashion family. I also
knew as long as Janie Bryant and Banana Republic continued designing
collections, I would continue buying. And buying. And buying.<br />

When Fern Mallis told us at the
beginning of the night that we were about to see a “roller
coaster of a conversation”, she was NOT kidding! In fact, describing the
conversation she was about to have with the “trailblazing” Betsey Johnson as a “rollercoaster”
was putting it quite tamely.</div>

The moment Betsey took
the stage at the 92Y in upper Manhattan, it was clear this was going to be HER
show. Emerged from the wings one big “Bubble-Yum” of a figure: pink tutu, pink high-tops, and pink checkered hat; carrying a bouquet of almost
radioactively enhanced pink roses. “It’s $5,000 a shot to look this cheap,”
Betsey explained (in true Leo form) of her lionesque appearance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Betsey didn’t even give it a second
thought before she performed her infamous cartwheel into a full-blown split.
Erupting in applause was the only thing we could do in response. Wow.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
From that moment forward, the evening did not pause. After reviewing my practically illegible notes, I had difficulty coming up with a consistent thread from
the evening. Then I thought to myself,
“What am I doing?? Why on earth would I even try to make sense of the circus I
just saw??” So I decided to take a page from the “consistently inconsistent” and
just share my favorite highlights and the brilliant zingers (there were many)
that could only come from the erratic mind of Betsey Johnson.</div>

“What about dance appealed to
you?” Mallis asked Betsy about her childhood. “The escape” she
responded. “[My dance teacher] gave me escape, fantasy, and makeup!” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There were many instances
throughout the night where the dancer in her (and at times toddler behavior)
took over, causing Betsey to jump right out of her chair. During the very first
questions, Betsey began a mini strip tease in which she began peeling off
portions of her ensemble and piling them in a heap on the floor next to her
chair. “I’m afraid to see what comes off next!” Mallis joked.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Halfway through the next set of questions, Betsey stood
straight up and began what looked to be an aerobics routine. “Anybody gotta get
up and stretch?” she excitedly asked the audience. A quick “No. Sit down for a
minute” from Mallis got her back on track. Well, for at least another minute or
two.</div>

Betsey’s eclectic taste and individualistic
attitude first started to blossom when she visited London while working for
<i>Mademoiselle Magazine</i>. There she was exposed to the fashion that was taking
form at that time. “I connected to that kind of fashion. It was primitive,
basic, flat pattern, primal, kindergarten clothing...” “It was then that I
realized that the fashion world was what I wanted to get into.” And get into
the fashion world she did. She made many notorious and eccentric new friends,
from Andy Warhol and Edie Cedric to Lou Reid, who said she could “cut a really
good crotch.”</div>

“In the future everybody will be

Betsey and daughter Lulu met with
multiple networks about creating their own show and ended up getting bids from
five of them. “I can’t cook and I can’t be a housewife, so that cut out Food
Network. I really hoped it would be Style Network.” Luckily for her, that wish
came true. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Betsey & Lulu Show, </i>which
will premiere on the Style Network in March or April, will be the next chapter in
Betsey’s life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will be a
glimpse into the crazy lives of her and her daughter. “I think it’s a comedy…”

The evening wrapped up with a
Q&A session, but since this was Betsey Johnson, it COULDN’T be just a
NORMAL Q&A. Mid-question, a woman stood up with a
video camera and yelled “I just wanted to let you all know the Topless Shock
Syndrome is coming…Thank you…” She then panned the room, revealing that she was
in fact topless. Amid the confused murmurs, Betsey applauded the woman and
exclaimed “I <i>thought</i> you were topless over there! Good for you!”</div>

Continuing the role of ringmaster,
Mallis brought the circus back to order. “What advice do you have for new, or
old, designers that are out there tonight?” Mallis asked as one of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the final questions. “Kick Ass!” she
exclaimed as she stood up and Tae Bo’d the air. “Just keep on kicking!”<br />

RED. What was once a taboo on the red carpet turned out to
be THE trend for the 2013 Golden Globes. Actresses known for their stand out
performances on screen brought this same daring attitude to the fashion arena,
and boy did it pay off!<br />

Upon entering the store, guests
were immediately immersed in a mixture of cultures. A DJ atop the second level
of the store took turns playing popular music with a group sitting beside him
playing traditional African music on African instruments. Model-esque servers
weaved through the crowds to bring champagne, wine, and scrumptious hors d'oeuvres to shoppers browsing through the shop that housed the collection. Friendly
store associates served as personal shoppers and attentive hosts, completing
transactions one moment and topping off an empty glass the next. Woven baskets
and colorful rugs lining shelves and floors contrasted nicely with the
Americana memorabilia; a true representation of the collection which consisted
of classic Tommy Hilfiger designs and items made using African textiles, colors
and motifs.</div>

The environment was not the only
thing fueling excitement during the event. In addition to all proceeds from the
collection going to Millennium Promise, 10% of all sales during the event would
be donated as well. And if that was not incentive enough to open wallets, customers
who spent $150 or more were treated to a free taxi ride to anywhere in
Manhattan, courtesy of the special Promise Collection taxis parked outside.</div>

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Hilfiger’s newly created role of Image Advisor on American Idol was announced the morning of March 8<sup>th</sup>, 2012 in Women’s Wear Daily. That evening Hilfiger sat down with New York Fashion Week’s creator Fern Mallis as part of her Fashion Icon events; where he discussed the fresh announcement as well as his journey from humble beginnings in Elmira, NY to becoming the International Fashion Icon that he is today. Curious as to how Idol's decision came to be and of Hilfiger’s plans of what he’s bringing to the show, I was in attendance.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Mallis began the conversation by sharing that she knew of Hilfiger joining Idol back in February when she was backstage with him at his Womenwear Runway Show, and he “whispered it” in her ear. She went on to joke that the announcement was supposed to be made the evening of her Fashion Icon event on the very stage she would be sharing with Hilfiger, but Women’s Wear Daily got it first.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

This aesthetic was shining through as he walked onto the Kaufman Concert Hall Stage in New York City's Upper East Side; the venue for Mallis’ Fashion Icon events; wearing a slim cut gray suit, crisp white dress shirt, black and white striped tie, and a boyish smile that he flashed to the audience as he took his seat. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">An obvious reason of why Hilfiger would be approached and accept the position of Image Advisor is his extreme love for music and Americana. One of his life mantras that he lives by is what he calls “F.A.M.E: Fashion, Art, Music, Entertainment.” These are what he believes make up the true spirit of Americans and he has heavily involved each of these factors in his business and life throughout the years.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Throughout the evening Hilfiger showed that Idol would not only be benefiting from his style advice, but also from his determination and tendency to always push forward, which he credits to being an Aries. This work ethic and state of mind is what drove him to push through his trying times. Childhood dyslexia, bankruptcy, and public backlash due to false accusations of racism are just a few of the trials that he has triumphed over. He wants to bring these experiences and what he has learned from them to the finalists on Idol in hopes that he can aid them in creating their “full package” of talent, image, and business savvy.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">As his sit down with Mallis drew to a close, it became clear to me (and I would hope everyone in the room) that Hilfiger will be bringing a tremendous amount of knowledge beyond fashion to the contestants he will be mentoring. His opportunity to convince the rest of America of this will happen on his debut episode, and I have no doubt that Hilfiger will once again make is mark on American culture.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I was happy to see that many of my favorite dapper gentlemen made the list. However, what I was not happy with was who took the top spot and who got pushed to the position of runner up as a result.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">According to <a href="http://www.gq.com/"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">GQ</i></a>, Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/justified/">FX’s Justified</a> </i>beat out Don Draper (Jon Hamm) of <a href="http://www.amctv.com/shows/mad-men"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">AMC’s Mad Men</i></a> for the title of Most Stylish Man on TV. <i><a href="http://www.gq.com/">GQ</a>'s</i> justification for this decision is as follows, which can be read in its original form <a href="http://www.gq.com/style/profiles/201105/25-most-stylish-tv-stars-men/?slide=1#slide=25">here</a>:</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i>"Where Don Draper and Tom Haverford work hard—in their suiting, their grooming, their boozing—Raylan Givens just sort of is. Take him as he comes, all swaggering I-just-shot-someone-yesterday machismo: that tan ten gallon hat accented by a leather band is a phallic indicator of what's coming through the door, with two six-shooters on the hip and terminating scum on the mind. And as casually as he'll put a hot slug in you, he'll smartly sport a crispy chambray shirt and woven belt. Not everything is hard.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I completely disagree with this decision and its reasoning. I am not sure exactly what criteria <a href="http://www.gq.com/"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">GQ</i></a> used to arrive at this, but in response I have developed my own set of criteria to show that there CLEARLY needs to be a recount.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">First of all, I believe that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">style </i>is composed of the following 3 elements:</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><ul><li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span>Individuality/Personality</li>
</ul><ul><li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span>Versatility</li>
</ul><ul><li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span>Attention to Detail</li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

His overall look tends to stay the same with slight alterations from ensemble to ensemble. His go to look consists of his signature cowboy hat; button up shirt (either with or with out a tie,) and a blazer; alternating in colors.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Although it is not up to the same level as Draper, his attention to detail is still very much present. All of his blazers and jeans are the perfect fit and show off his physique nicely. When he chooses to wear a tie, it is a compliment to the shirt he is wearing.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Graduation from college is a time of celebration. It can also be a time of absolute terror, especially for those who still have to face the Big Bad Wolf that is the job market. Nothing is more humiliating or self-defeating than being turned away from a job opportunity that you had your whole heart set on. Nothing that is except for being turned away from a potential love interest that you had your whole heart set on…</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Being rejected from a job makes you feel just as low as being rejected from a date. How many “break up” emails have you received from HR that read, “We’ve gone with another candidate,” or in other words, “We have feelings for someone else”? How many phone calls with potential employers have ended with “though you have impressive credentials, we feel that you do not fit our criteria at this time,” or in other words, “it’s not you, it’s me”?</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">It is not foolish or outlandish to compare the potential job pool to the potential dating pool. People are accepted or rejected in both situations based on very similar criteria. If you have scoured your brain for reasons as to why you are still “economically single” and still come up empty handed, maybe it is the way in which you COURT your potential job that needs an up in its game. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table>The following rules have been developed (based on my own personal experiences and advice given to me from others) to help you achieve just that. Hopefully if you start seeing courting a potential job in the same light as you see courting a potential date and vice versa, the intimidation of one may lessen that of the other.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">There comes a point in any courtship where the possibility that the other person might “not be that into you” becomes apparent. Sometimes this can catch a person completely off guard, but if you have been reading the signs it most likely will not come as much of a shock. There are times when the chemistry is just not there. Being rejected more times than you will be accepted before you find that perfect fit is a hard fact to accept. This is the time when a person’s character is truly tested. The following are some helpful tips to help you handle this unfortunate situation with grace:</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>Keep professional in your correspondence. Much like you can tell if you were accepted into the college you applied for by the size of the envelope, you can usually tell whether you got the job (or a second date) by the form of communication the other person uses to contact you back. A phone call is almost a sure sign that you’ve “been hired” while an email is most likely the dreaded “let’s just be friends.” Whether you get turned down by phone or by email, stay positive and professional in your communication.</div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>Do not respond immediately to bad news. Most likely you will be overly emotional, especially if it was a job or second date that you really wanted. Take a moment to cool off and send a response once you have a clear head. Also, don't send the first draft of the response that you write. Keep taking breaks from your response and come back and edit as you become more level headed. </div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>When you do respond back, keep emotions on a neutral level. Respond back in a way that you would for any professional situation. Avoid the taboos of using highly emotional words, punctuation, and capitalization.</div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>Remember, once something is written down, ESPECIALLY in email form, it is there FOREVER and cannot be taken back or erased. Now days in the age of Facebook and Twitter, people forget to refrain from speaking exactly what they are feeling and tend to respond to bad news in an overly emotional and unprofessional way, and this spills over into their professional life. This is NOT a good reflection on you. I advise to start practicing restraint while using Facebook or other Social Networking platforms to get in the habit of proper behavior both on and off line for any situation.</div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>DO give a response. No response is sometimes worse than an emotional one. It gives across the perception of bitterness, which doesn’t look good on anyone.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Just because things didn’t work out the way you wanted this time around does not mean that it is the end of the road. Being rejected is the perfect opportunity to turn the negative into the positive. Just because you were not a right fit at that exact moment in time does not mean that there isn't a great possibility that you WILL be in the future.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Be the first to extend the hand of “friendship” if the other person has not already. This will show your true class and maturity and will leave a positive image of you in the other person’s mind. Doing so will help you gain a valuable contact.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Gaining this new contact is just the beginning. Make sure that you put in the effort to retain them as well. A good way of doing this is by staying in contact with them through emails that you send during important stages or transitions in your professional career. This will keep you on their radar for when an opportunity arises that they may be able to extend to you. Holidays are also a very nice opportunity to stay in touch.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Hopefully if you have followed the rules and have reached this point, you have an idea of whether you are interested in taking the “relationship” to the next level. There is no way of knowing for sure whether the other party is on the same page, but if you are interested, MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW! Letting your feelings be known is the one thing that you are completely sure about and have complete control over. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The universal sign for showing that you are interested and want to remain in contact with the other person is the leaving of the number. In the sense of interviewing for a job, leave your business card. If you don’t have one, make one. It is a lot easier and cheaper than you may think to have professional looking business cards. Having your contact information strictly on your resume or application just isn’t enough. Handing over a business card brings direct attention to your information and gives a crystal clear signal to the other person that you would like them to use it. They will also be extremely impressed with the fact that you have your own business card, and will most likely offer you theirs as well. A VERY good sign and will include information necessary for what I am about to suggest next.</div><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Once you leave the meeting, the task of letting them know you are interested is not finished. As soon as you get home, HANDWRITE a thank you card, preferably one of your creation, which matches your business card that you will send the old fashioned way in the mail. Again, HANDWRITE the thank you card. I cannot emphasize enough the impact of a HAND WRITTEN card on the other person. It shows that you are truly interested in continuing the “relationship” and are dedicated enough to take the time to put pen to paper. Keep it short, sweet, and sincere.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">After you have sent your HAND WRITTEN thank you card, don’t feel like you are off the hook quite yet. If you have not received a response the week following you sending the thank you card (which makes it two weeks following your in person meeting,) I feel that it is appropriate to send a follow up email. Keep it short, sweet and to the point making sure to thank them once again for meeting with you. You do not want to come across as too aggressive, but you also do not want to risk falling through the cracks in case something out of your control has happened (card lost in the mail, HR person has become swamped, etc.) Usually you will get a response to your email which will include the yeah or nay outcome of your meeting. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">(NOTE: The follow up email is NOT necessary and probably SHOULDN’T be used if it is a date you are trying to score. If you do not have an idea of where it is going by now, you should probably prepare to start to move on.)</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Hopefully the outcome is the one you were hoping for, but in the case that it is not, see Rule #5.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Nothing reveals more about a person’s character than how they value and use other people’s time. It is extremely important to not only be on time when meeting someone new, but to arrive a few minutes earlier than you are scheduled. Doing so not only insures that you will be on time, but it allots you a time cushion to complete any tasks that might be waiting for you (paper work, table not ready, etc.) </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The perfect time to arrive to an appointment is exactly 15 minutes early. No more, no less. If you arrive later than15 minutes early, you run the risk of being late, and no one likes to be kept waiting. If you arrive more than 15 minutes early, you run the risk of the person you are meeting not being ready for you, therefore inconveniencing who is there (receptionist, roommate, etc.) with the burden of entertaining you until you can be seen. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">We all try to refrain from “judging a book by its cover,” but the bottom line is it is nearly impossible as humans to do so. Within the very first SECOND of meeting a new person, we take in their whole appearance. Within the very first MINUTE of meeting a new person, we develop a judgment of the person based on the appearance we just took in. This is why it is extremely important to always look the VERY best when meeting someone new. Follow these few simple tips and you should be able to take on that meeting completely confident in the way that you look:</div><div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Potential employers (and first dates) are almost always impressed if you come to the first meeting already knowing a little bit about them. It shows initiative and that you care. When it comes to a job, reviewing the company’s website, Facebook, or Twitter page are all excellent resources to get to know that company on a deeper level. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">(NOTE: In the case of getting to know a potential date, asking a close mutual friend for information will suffice. Getting into the Facebook/Twitter realm strays a little too close to the creepy/stalker side. Yes, the temptation is strong and the resources are there, but going that route before actually meeting the person is just plain creepy. No discussion needed. Also, before divulging any information about the other person, state that you heard it from the mutual friend first. Again, creepiness diverted.)</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Getting to know the company/person beforehand also helps you eliminate any candidates that won’t be a good fit for you, well before you have become too emotionally involved. It saves you a lot of time and emotion.<br />

“Don’t hide yourself in regret, just love yourself and you’re set…”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Those lyrics from <a href="http://www.ladygaga.com/">Lady Gaga</a>’s #1 hit <i><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/born-this-way/id419434189?i=419434433&ign-mpt=uo%3D2">Born This Way</a> </i>served as the theme for the latest episode of <a href="http://www.fox.com/">FOX</a>’s hit television series <i><a href="http://www.fox.com/glee/full-episodes">Glee</a>. </i>Now it is no surprise that Gaga and <i>Glee</i> make the perfect team when it comes to confronting the constraints of social norms through song and public image, but now the duo can add influencing <i>fashion </i>to their list of team accomplishments. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal">Yes, Gaga has been influencing fashion on her own for the past few years, but it is <i>Glee’s </i>debut of what I would like to dub “Embraced QualiTEES” that has all of the fans raving. The <i>Born This Way </i>episode concluded with a musical number featuring the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/born-this-way-glee-cast-version/id432596155">Gaga cover</a> (see Video above.) During the number each character donned a plain white T-Shirt, on which was printed in bold black letters one word or a phrase that described a quality or trait that they were born with that they once hated but now embrace and celebrate.</div><br />

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal">History has forever been updating and rejuvenating the modern staple that is the plain white T-Shirt, and <i>Glee </i>has taken it to the next level. The basic nature of the “simple as black and white” design is what makes the “Embraced QualiTEES” genius. Black and white are neutrals that can be worn with everything and look good on anyone. As the <i>Glee </i>kids also show in their musical number (again, see Video above), the “Embraced QualiTEES” can be worn as part of an ensemble or BE the ensemble. The possibilities of how to wear it are endless.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

The T-Shirts are not only extremely personalized based on the word or phrase, but also act as a way for society to unite with one another through their differences.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal">I was what you would call an “early bloomer” and began to grow body hair on my arms and legs WELL before any of the other boys my age. This singled me out and in my mind made me a freak. I would get all sorts of comments and strange looks whenever my arms or legs were bare and this made me extremely self-conscious. I can remember wishing on multiple occasions to just shave it all off. The one thing that stopped me from making this wish a reality was the fear of having my hair grow back even thicker.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">My insecurities with my body hair caused me to hide it whenever I could. This included wearing jeans and long pants even in the most blistering temperatures of the summer months. I kept to this practice well into the end of my teenage years. Finally, the summer following my senior year of high school, I gave into physical discomfort and began wearing shorts. I will admit it was a challenge at first to ignore some of the looks and comments, but it became easier over time. I credit me finally embracing my insecurities for this. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I am proud to admit that now I fully embrace that my body hair is what makes me unique and that this quality that I was born with plays a part in who I am. No longer do I make an effort to hide it. Thanks to Gaga, <i>Glee </i>and the below “Embraced QualiTEE” of my design, I can now display that pride in myself for all to see. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Though one was white with gold detailing and the other was completely black, the overall silhouette seems to be identical, with a few minor differences in each (such as the thin belt around Lynch's waist and the extra row around Kardashian's neck.)<br />

I don't believe that these two will be in any "Who Wore it Better" debates anytime soon, but I would have to go with Kim's version as the better if I had to choose. There's no upstaging an original, or a Kadashian for that matter, especially when it comes to fashion.Dustin Enrique Larsen (@Dustin_Larsen)http://www.blogger.com/profile/18164110504138485589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227928486930152332.post-76547575278170015232011-01-16T14:34:00.000-08:002011-01-16T14:34:16.440-08:00Golden Globes as Styled by Dustin Enrique LarsenIf I were to choose the winners for the Golden Globes tonight and their winning looks, they would be as follows:<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />

Another look from Oscar de la Renta's line would give Emma Stone the sexy, sassy and chic runway look that her characters are best known for. The silhouette would accentuate Stone's gorgeous figure, and the detailing would keep the overall look classy.<br />

Amy Adams has made a name for herself as a very versatile actress. The above cocktail dress from Jason Wu's Spring/Summer RTW 2011 collection would be an excellent opportunity to show off her versatility in fashion as well. The carefree and light silhouette and color of the dress is a contrast to the grittiness of the drama <i>The Fighter </i>for which she is nominated for. The color is also a compliment to her hair and skin tone.<br />

Toni Collette has such a gorgeous and athletic figure that this gown from Marchesa's Spring/Summer RTW 2011 collection would compliment that beautifully. Her strong/athletic yet feminine shoulders would be accentuated by the asymmetrical neckline and the flowing drapery of the gown would make her glide into the best dressed of the night. <br />

With each changing season we have a rich array of colors and textures all around us. It is so easy to just go for a hike or drive and take your camera and come back with so much new inspiration.” This organic act of receiving inspiration is what Prisha Brown has based her career as a jewelry designer on, giving birth to her very own line: Entwine by Prisha Brown. Organic also finds its way into her actual jewelry itself. “Sometimes my bead patterns in my bracelets actually look like a forest path or river stream winding through the bracelet. The organic elements of my gemstones and pearls offer a natural beauty that is easy to connect with and wear.”</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />

Being in central Washington and fairly secluded from major cities, she was surrounded by the natural beauty that came with living in that part of the state. After building a solid background in textiles, as well as completing a course in metal-smithing, Brown set off for Florence, Italy to study jewelry design during a summer abroad program.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />

The process in which she creates her jewelry, from the ideas formulated in her mind to the actual physical jewelry, is as organic and natural as the inspiration that drives her. “In the past I have done a lot of sketching out of ideas and designs, but now I really let my materials speak to me from the color, shape, size, and texture of my beads to the color and gauge of my wire. I lay things out and just play with bead palettes before I start, adding and taking away colors until I have a combination I am really excited about.” She uses fine gauge spool wire; usually .999 pure silver, which is a very soft and supple material to work with, and recently began enjoying using brightly colored enamel coated wire. “I begin my freeform crochet process by very randomly stringing each bead onto my fine gauge spool of wire. Once I have several feet of beads strung onto my wire, I start by making a slipknot in the wire, which becomes my very first crochet stitch. Depending on what I am making determines my starting width row of crocheted chain, from there on out everything is freeform as I work in all directions and delicately make spider webs around each bead. The lacy web-like look of my freeform crochet is very organic.”</div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

I love the idea and want to support and share this whenever I can.” She finds that this state of mind and behavior makes it so that “everybody wins.” She has already chosen to live by these values in her everyday life by shopping in her community to support her local economy, reusing and recycling items as much as possible, and making sure that her jewelry maintains the cultural and social ideals that she acquired along her journey. She hopes that others will adopt this lifestyle as well and that it will grow to become the norm on a national and global level.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />

I also love using reclaimed vintage beads in my work. I have taken apart some beautiful necklaces found at antique stores. Vintage beads definitely offer a unique source of inspiration that can easily be designed around.

I need to plan for the growth of my business and more production capability along with the sustainability aspect. I would love to expand nationally. It would be an honor to have more work sold in galleries and museum gift shops across the country.” </div> <span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;"> She has also tapped into the innovation of social media and marketing; which now is becoming the most sustainable method of marketing and PR, to broaden her clientele. “Social Media is a new and very powerful way of marketing your business. It is so new that people are in the early stages of understanding it’s fullest potential. In my research, I have heard it called ‘Engagement Marketing.’ It is a very effective two-way channel. The product that you offer is no longer the whole story. People buy from an artist because they trust the artist and want a piece of that artist’s personal story. I enjoy regularly updating both my personal and business Facebook pages and believe that my new blog will also add another dimension to my jewelry…a deeper, more personal story of my journey as I experiment, learn, and grow as an artist.” </span><br />

This week’s episode of Bravo’s<i> The Fashion Show: Ultimate Collection </i>took it a step further, having the contestants challenged to put in their veins, bones and muscles as well. Well, not exactly their <i>own, </i>but their interpretation of those elements of the human body. They were challenged to find inspiration from “within,” literally.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, this challenge was “dead on arrival” and only got worse as the show progressed. It seems that the only thing that this show depends on to help it cling to life is the unnecessary drama that occurs throughout the episodes. If only the designers spent more time on their designs and less time screaming at each other (Calvin vs. The Rest of House of Emerald Syx) and sabotaging their own house (Mike, you showed you really have no backbone and neither did your look,) then maybe they could produce looks that would take the breath out of the judges lungs.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Once again the House of Nami won the challenge, which I agree with, but not with the flying colors that they did last week. Most of their looks were quite messy, unfinished, and cheap looking. The colors, textures, and techniques that they used made it look like they were designing for a really bad zombie movie, in which their models were the half eaten victims of some VERY angry Fashion Industry individuals, and angry they should be with the quality that was shown. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The winner of the individual look was Eduardo, who I was rooting for last week to win and was pleased when he actually accomplished that this week. Of all the looks, his was the one that looked the most chic. He went for another cocktail dress, but changed up the silhouette and his technique, producing a much more structured and body conscience look. He lowered the hemline and added a dramatic detail at the shoulders, almost an exaggeration of the model’s collarbone. Even though the color palette he chose was very fleshy and could have ran the risk of washing out his model’s already pale skin tone, he avoided this by darkening his model to accentuate the hue of the dress, a move of sheer brilliance.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The House of Emerald (formally known as the House of Emerald Syx) delivered a collection that all I can say looked like a “bloody mess.” The only cohesion within their collection was the color, other than that they were all equally disappointing and did not fit well together. Because Mike left the show, no designer was sent home, and as a result Calvin and Cesar swapped places. I do not agree with this course of action. A designer from the House of Emerald should have gone home, and that designer should have been Golnessa. Her look was extremely unflattering, poorly executed, and the ruffle detail on the front was just plain tacky. There was nothing new or innovative about it and it was boring overall. The rest of the looks had potential; but no amount of resuscitation in the world could have saved hers.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
