The Revolution Will Be Computerized. Digital Fashion, ALexander Wang & Rodarte

Its snowing out, but that doesn't mean you have to miss any of all that fashion week has to offer! Just in time for the blanket of snow covering the tri-state area, on the eve of the most fashionable time of the year, Alexander Wang and Rodarte have decided to follow in the footsteps of Marc Jacobs,  Alex MCQ, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, and Burberry. Livestreaming their fashion shows made easy by SHOWstudio.com helping to conjoin, consumer and industry. Deemed as the future of fashion shows, having a digital calendar, in addition to a physical calendar allows editors, stylist, and buyers to ultimately be in two places at once, reaching a broader audience, increasing visibility, brand marketing, and sales. 

The two shows will be digitally presented live on SHOWstudio, with Wang’s debuting at 5 p.m. on February 13 and Rodarte following at noon on February 16.

Lightly Shaded..Rodarte for Target

Its been everywhere, the rumors the preiview the countdown the shipment, the results the reviews. Rodarte for Target has finally arrived and has been seen in magazines everywhere. I am a huge fan of Rodarte and when first hearing of the collaboration I was very much looking forward to it.  Unfortunately when I saw the preview for the collection, I was slightly confused. This wasn't the Rodarte I've grown to know and love. This seemed more Rachel Roy, Tracey Reese. Whom I both love and admire except this was suppose to be Rodarte. I felt a little jaded, so I held off on purchasing anything.  Recently I decided to give it a try and I went and tried on a few pieces. Hmm. I felt the pieces looked best layered and not standing alone and the quality left something to be desired. I understand this is target, but I also understood this was Rodarte, and I was expecting a little more quality wise. Though the available hoodie felt like it was made of sand paper the t-shirts were pretty cool, and the cardigans were ok, but I loved way more when layered with the tulle dress and my handy fur collar! I wasn't able to find the all the pieces that I was interested in like the belts and black cardigan. But I was able to find a few cool items. See below photos. (Excuse the fuzzy camera phone photos, undone hair and makeup-less face)

I ended up purchasing the black and white sequin animal print dress, grey cardigan, and nude color tulle dress. My favorite out of all my items is the grey cardigan, its goes great over the dresses and I imagine when paired with jeans and t-shirt will pull the look together.

Chanel Tattoos....I am soooo with it

This isnt the first time that we've seen tat's on the runway, Jean Paul Gaultier, Catherine Maladrino and Rodarte all showed up inked, but never quite like this. Chanel's take on tattoo's are everything you would expect from the brand. Body transfers in floral designs, beads and bangles, gave it a soft yet edgy feel. Available in March at boutiques and concessions, these are the new IT accessory of 2010
