I Salut You - A Tribute to Military Style



Combat Boots

Amazing chain detailing from blazer above...


This vintage blazer is inspired by the Famous Balmain Military Jacket shown on the runway for the Fall 2009 Collection

The U.S Government are not the only people spending their money on the military these days. Military inspired clothing was a key trend witnessed on the runway for Fall 2009. This look has since become frequently sported by trendy fashionistas of all ages.

Printemps

Dior

Marni

Gucci

The French word "Printemps" translated into English means Spring. However, if we split the French word into parts we end up with Print-Temps which means Print -Time... One of the hottest trends for SPRING/Summer 2009 are.... PRINTS! The above images are a few of my favourites.

It's a little bit outdated (but its better late than never). I encourage you to check out the above link to hear an interview that was done on me and my involvement in this years Free the Children Fashion Show - London, Ontario chapter. I had the honour of being the clothing coordinator and model manager of this production.

Introduction


Hi everyone,

I am very excited to be starting my very own blog about STYLE, FASHION, HOT TRENDS & SELF EXPRESSION. I have been passionate about fashion for quite some time now and I look forward to sharing my ideas, inspiration, images and revealing my fashion secrets to you.

To end off my first post I would like to share one of my favourite quotes:
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." ~ Thomas Jefferson
I think this quote does a good job exposing a little bit about me and my style. Regarding me as a person, I am very principled and I stand firm by my values and beliefs, however, when it comes to fashion and my personal style I do whatever feels right - I let the current carry me along; I experiment, I take risks and ultimately I have fun with clothing, shoes and accessories. I hope you enjoy the posts that are to come and I look forward to hearing from all of you. Keep checkin' back!
