Lovely Creatures

I understand that it's a total contradiction when a fashion design student says that they don't like getting inspirations from magazines or street fashions. Frankly, I see you every where; ie the street. I'd rather take some fashion cues from lovely mythical creatures (evidently portrayed by real humans BUT STILL) that, my apologies to all the believers, don't exist.

I've always been particularly drawn to these enigmatic creatures especially the ones in great Old Hollywood films. These half-fish half-woman were the most glamorous things to come out of the big blue. Beautiful long curls paired with uber short bangs and hair accessories encrusted with pearls and shells only the ocean can spew out. I'm not talking your run of the mill Disney mermaids. I'm talking Ann Blyth in "Mr. Peabody and The Mermaid" and Glynis Johns in "Miranda" and "Mad About Men." Now let's talk style in a face and fin, we can all take some cues from these ladies.

And FYI just because you live hundreds of feet down in the ocean doesn't mean you can't look bangin' for those stranded sailor boys.

Transitional

With the end of winter fast approaching, it is time to start getting creative with the ways that you dress for the ups and downs of the weather. Layering with light, easily removable layers is a very smart way to combat those moments of brisk wind and times of those sweat–inducing rays of sunlight. 


Keep it colorful or muted, but definitely utilize lots of layers and textures!

Another throw back post. Hopefully some of these things will start to make a comeback— as some already have.


Incorporating classic elements in your every day look can give an interesting dichotomy in your apparel and overall appearance. 

A Taste of Perception

The next cover of Lozenge Magazine will be influenced by style of the following photographs, except with 1960s cocktail dresses. 

Cyclical

Fashion, much like other world events and fads, is cyclical. Style is timeless, and thus influences the present day, something that designers use to draw much inspiration. This post of dedicated to displaying fashion from primarily the 1910s and how it has influenced designs coming out this year.
