John Galliano Paint


"John Galliano, may his career rest in peace. I feel this needs a little explanation:

I took this photo of John Galliano s/s 2010 in the window of the Place Vendome boutique in Paris last summer. On that same trip in Paris I took this background photo of some great graffiti. Coincidence that the character looks just like John Galliano as his career is dying? And the manikin and the Galliano look-alike are doing the same pose? Can you say, creative fate?"

Oscar's Eye

One of the many things I love about Oscar de la Renta is his eye for color. Every season he features breathtaking, unexpected colors, but even more fantastically he shows off the beautiful skin tones of black women. For his new Resort collection Oscar de la Renta ended his show with two gorgeous women in spring colors that could only come from Oscar's unique eye.



Though women of color are not seen as much as they should in the modeling industry, there's hope yet with designers like Mr. de la Renta showcasing their unrivaled beauty.

Paint-by-Fashion

I've started a new blog called Paint-by-Fashion. I basically take runway shots from style.com and put them into my own photos. Since I don't have internet at my house anymore I've been spending much of my free time on Microsoft Paint, and since I've been neglecting this blog I figured I would start a new one that's easier to update with minimal internet use. The new blog combines two of my favorite things: fashion and my random photography. Check it out and enjoy!
