How TIGHT are you?
I heart fashion legwear. I was a legwear enthusiast while living in NYC and even before in California I use to and still wear them! Legwear is back in style and I am excited to report on the current and upcoming trends, to help people learn how to wear it, and where to buy it. I would like to share what kind of legwear girls are wearing around the globe, how designers are incorporating legwear with their fashions on models down the runway, and which legwear is being showcased in high fashion magazines. Here are a few that are coming our way this fall:

MEN ESSENTIALS: KICKS
The sneaker phenomenon has spawned a number of well-known brands and manufacturers. Each company has its own unique history and inspiration. In this course we will look at the the major brands best known today for their success as household names and a selection of lesser known brands. I have a "thing" about men and their sneakers and sometimes I wish I were a man only to be caught with these new intriguing and delicious kicks. Here are some of my new faves:
Takashi Murakami invades The Chateau de Versailles
World renowned Japanese pop phenomenon,Takashi Murakami will bring his talents to France for a special exhibition in September at the iconic Chateau de Versailles. The show looks to kick off on September 14th, running through December 12th, 2010. Takashi offers some words below of his excitement for the upcoming showcase.
“For a Japanese like me, the Château de Versailles is one of the greatest symbols of Western history. It is the emblem of an ambition for elegance, sophistication and art that most of us can only dream of.
Of course, we are aware that the spark that set fire to the powder of the Revolution came directly from the centre of the building. That is what I have tried to depict in this exhibition. I am the Cheshire cat that welcomes Alice in Wonderland with its diabolic smile, and chatters away as she wanders around the Château. With a broad smile I invite you all to discover the wonderland of Versailles.”

In tapping such cartoonish, sunny, and strange streams for his apparently endless flux of exuberant creations, Murakami blatantly challenges preconceived notions of is and isn’t “art.”
I have seen two of his previous exhibitions, I am hopeful that his new exhibit will come and conquer us all.
RUSTICA - Fashion Island
His menu offers Almond wood-fired flatbreads, hand-crated pastas and unique saladas, as well as entrees like Black Kobe Beef Carpaccio, Three Mushroom Risotto/Mascarpone and Mushroom Jus (to die for) and Roasted Pacific Salmon. I loved is the Seared Day Boat Scallops with Creamed Spinach.
MacPherson has cooked alongside chef Joel Robuchon, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Michael Mina, Thomas Keller and the late Jean Louis Palladin.
Rustica, is a must!
