Thanks to such models as Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell for breaking that barrier for other women of color to be able to feel empowered and fearless in fashion. Personally seeing these young women in this industry is motivational because it lets me know that nothing is easy but anything that you work hard for is attainable.

Biker Themes & Polka Dot Dreams

The themes that are in full effect for spring/summer that's being seen everywhere from California to London is biker chic and polka dots. These trends hit the runways hard this season. The designers incorporated each trend into their new lines harmoniously. Both trends are similar in the ways that they are both bold pieces that can stand alone. The biker rock chic look has been glamorized by celebrities and the everyday fashionistas. But this trend stretches further than the ordinary leather motorcyle jacket it has transformed into spikey studded leathers, to edgy trench coats with leather arms , to the must have louboutin silver spiked loafer. Women all over love the biker look because it adds a certain sex appeal and edginess to their attire that is appreciated.

Polka dots have made a strong comeback. There has been a massive amount of designers that have taken this trend and added there own spin on it such as Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, and Moschino. The normalcy of what the polka dots were is no longer the same because it is now being paired with stripe blouses and given a color palette rather than the known black and white and see-through polka dot tights have become popular as well. This trend has been revived and refreshed and everyone is taking to it fabulously.

Kanye West drops the mic for Fashion school in Paris

Kanye West one of the hottest rappers in the Hip Hop industry has decided to take a detour into the fashion world, which is an obvious move for him. Kanye has been spotted all over the fashion scene from New York to Paris sitting front row at all the fashion shows. He has been a connoiseur in mens fashion with his daring choices. He exudes his outgoing and witty personality by expressing it through his clothes. Kanye has already began to build his fashion portfolio by designing shoes for Louis Vuitton and Nike Air Jordans. He has also interned for one the great fashion houses Fendi in Paris. Through his recent works and projects it is apparent that he is passionate about fashion. So the the next step for him to perfect his craft is to enroll in one of the most well know fashion schools Central Saint Martin in Paris. This school has one of the most prestigous fashion programs in the world. Central has been home to some of the most intriguing designers such as the late great Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, John Galliano, and Gareth Pugh. Kanye certainly has some big shoes to fill, but its for sure he will not dissatisfy. He has already met with the head of the fashion program at CSM to ensure his spot at the school. It is said that Louis Wilson the head of the program is a tough cookie, but hopefully he gives Kanye the opportunity to become a pupil at the school to show his talent. Im quite if given the chance Kanye will not disappoint.

John Galliano racist rant leaves the fashion world with a bad taste in their mouth

John Galliano chief designer for Christian Dior was fired from the fashion house yesterday for his racist rant that was recorded by a Paris couple.  This incident sent shock waves through the fashion world. Fashion designers and even actresses that admired John Galliano's work were in disbelief of this. But the video that was seen spoke for itself. Galliano goes off in an apparent drunken rage and states "I love Adolf Hitler". This is a true disappointment in fashion and for this era because it is a set back for how far we have come on the journey against racism. I believe that Galliano is a great designer but he shoud be punished for his actions. This is not an issue shouldn't be taken lightly. Galliano will face trial where he can face up to six months if prosecuted. Because of Galliano's actions the career that he has worked impressingly hard to build could possibly destroyed by a one minute video of disgrace.
