Zac Posen

Zac Posen's designs are very unique and truly modern. He uses interesting fabrics and couples them with modern designs.

Zac was born and raised in Manhattan, where he developed a love for fashion at a very early age. His love for fashion only grew from there, at age 16 he attended a pre-college program at Parsons, and by the age of 18 he was attending the University of Arts in London. Zac's fashion career grew from there where he started his own line, and won many fashion awards.

I really admire Zac's ability to create truly modern clothes! Thanks for reading!!!!

Oscar de la Renta

This week my blog is about fashion designer Oscar de la Renta. Oscar is my favorite designer of all time. He creates beautiful clothes that have modern style.

Oscar de la Renta is known as one of the best fashion designers in the world. He has won many awards, and his clothes have been worn by many people.

Oscar was born in the Dominican Republic, and he uses influences from his childhood to inspire his clothes today. He became interested in fashion at the age of 18, and his love of fashion only grew from there. By the 1960s Oscar had traveled to Paris to learn more about fashion as he worked as an assistant under Antonio Castillo. Oscar then came to the US and got going with his own line. Once his line got going he didn't forget about where he came from, and he went back to the Dominican Republic and built an orphanage.

Today Oscar has expanded his fashion line from couture to ready-to wear collections, accessories, perfume, eye wear, and even furniture.

What is Fashion???

This blog is dedicated to fashion and style!

My dream is to be fashion designer and have my own line, so I am going to document my journey. Also I am going to talk about fashion tips and trends and having good style.

Fashion isn't all about looking good, and appearing glamorous it's a lot different then that. Fashion is art that we wear, and expresses who you are as a person. You can see a person, and just by what they are wearing you can learn about their personality. I don't know about you, but I think that is really cool!!

For me expressing myself is most easily done by what I wear. When I wear things that are unique to me, I feel more confident and true to who I am. Everyone is affected by fashion, and we should use it to express who we are.

So I am excited to post more things soon!!!!
