The Buzz is all around. Fashion, mythology and fantasy. NYFW

Regardless of your own personal style, fashion is all around us. Even though I am no fashion maven I do enjoy looking and exploring. From the sublime classics of elegance and grace, to the outrageous and ridiculous, it’s all fun. Fashion is a reflection of the times, the world and where we are right now. To me that is all fascinating and worth watching. Another world? Absolutely.

The designers often pull from fantasy and romance, and the images are often amazing. The photography, the creativity and the results are astounding and that alone is worth perusing!  Today we venture into….”Valentino continues its adventure with the RED Valentino girl depicted in an imaginary world created in collaboration with London based fashion photographer, Tim Walker. For the SS12 ad campaign, model, Nimue Smit is photographed in “the park of monsters”, which dates back to 1522 and represents a visual sequence ranging between mythology and fantasy.” (FashionIndie) How could Birdelli resist not jumping in? She couldn’t!  Here are two takes, the original which I found on Fashion Indie (http://fashionindie.com/first-look-red-valentino-ss-12-campaign/) , a great site to explore for fun and fashion, and the BBB3 (Botanical Beauties & Beasties) take.

Happy Halloween in all it's glory?

Halloween brings out Birdellis uber theatrical side. Being a fashion model and designer she often feels like an actresses anyways, so this is almost like a regular runway day for her. The difference now is, she gets to choose her outfit. She was thrilled to be invited to THE “HOT” designer party’s, she went (it was Saturday night)  to Heidi Klum’s party… Heidi’s costume, in her own words, “It’s kind of like a dead body with the first layer of skin ripped off. It’s basically like me naked.” Birdelli went as a full-fledged Diva.

A tribute to Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen‘s fall 2011 as starring Raquel Zimmermann is kind of epic” FASHIONINDIE site
I love this image, I love the dress, I love the fact that McQueen embraced nature in so much of his beautiful fashion…This is my version of that image – created as a tribute to him, his fashion, and the MET with its closing show “ALEXANDER McQUEEN: SAVAGE BEAUTY

I saw/found …and my version with Birdelli (who happens to be wearing DKNY pants, scarf and notebook))
