CFDA going Idol

Yesterday the COUNCIL OF FASHION DESIGNERS OF AMERICA (CFDA) announced the new award for the upcoming fabulous "Fashion Awards": The "POPULAR VOTE AWARD"!

Sponsored by L'Oréal Paris, for the first time in the History of Fashion, the public will be able to vote for their favorite American Designers through the web: http://www.wwd.com/popular-vote.

The winner will be Awarded on June 15th 2009 at the CFDA Fashion Awards.

It's a great and wonderful idea! Let's give to "el Pueblo" (que unido jamas sera' vencido) the option of election! Why not?

This really means the World is changing! In recent election we had our first Black-American President elected in the USA who also recently nominated Sonia "from le Block" as the fist Latina on the Supreme Court (about time!). Now the general public is voting for Fashion Awards! If we can just fix the damn economy, we will be alright!

We’ll hold our breath to find out who will get the prize!!!
& BTW, YES! You bet we’re going to vote!

KISS KISS

As if the swine flu hasn’t effected our lives enough, the CDC just slapped all fashionistas in the face with a recent statement – they have banned the beloved Double Air- Kiss. Apparently our European inspired greeting is a cataclysmic hotbed of germs. Rather than mourn this loss, shady industry bitches are loving the new attitude filled, but virus-free salutations. The sartorially inclined Simon Doonan told WWD “ It’s all about the Obama fist bump now, followed by a lot of hand washing.” Whether your emulating Mr. O, or using the flu hysteria as a excuse to be rude, we can all agree to air on the side of caution and say ADIOS to our chic salutation. . .at least, for now. . .TBD

Model As Muse

Last night the glitterati donned fashion’s most powerful labels and flocked to The Costume Institute’s ‘Model as Muse’ Gala to pay homage to whom else, but those that transform clothing to creation -- The Model. Honorary chair of the event, Marc Jacobs eloquently summed the impact of models on the industry when he spoke to WWD, “The idea of muses or model, whether it is someone you know or someone you have seen in an image, someone of your imagination or a creature of your own invention, is important to every designer and every collection.” What were once deemed brainless beauties are now celebrated as muse, inspiration, and oftentimes, celebrity. This illustrious status can be attributed to the Father of Couture, Charles Frederic Worth, who is considered responsible for the creation of the “model” as we know her today. She works 16 hour days, teetering in 5 inch heels, contorting herself at the photographers whim, all the while maintaining a stunning façade. It is her that young girls idolize, to whom designers turn when seeking inspiration, and that bring fashion to life. She is style, she is muse, she is model -- and we at MTC Casting are thrilled to discover her on the street.
