~Set, Hike!

Last night I had the privilege of attending the Erin Wasson x RCVA show. The Gang Gang Dance played their folk style music while Erin Wasson’s collection gave off a bohemian vibe. I’m giving major props to the model turned designer. Based on her own personal taste, Wasson gives the chance to her admirers to buy her affordable and most importantly her style of clothes. Unfortunately, my photos didn’t do her collection justice, so I have borrowed the detailed shots of Style.com.
~Much Love to Erin and her dernier cri

Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock of Vena Cava decided to take a new approach to the rock n’ roll look. They brought back the safety pin. It was such a huge element of the collection and I adored it. Brought me back to middle school with a whole lot of sophistication. Being that this was Spring2010 I was a little bit in awe of the colors they choose, but it hit me that the grays, blacks, and splash of color is such a universal trend year round.
~A job well done ladies, I am ready to make a purchase.

If you didn’t already know I am a student at Parsons and I am very fortunate to get a great education from there. Since I want to make fashion writing a career ASAP I decided to do an independent study involving my blog. No more Cykic on hiatus because posting will be daily and I will do my best to deliver. I’ll give you the best of the best no doubt. So let me start by showing you fashion I identify with and what influences me.
~Let’s hope I inspire you.
CykicLet’s take a trip to the dark ages, where our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and those beyond, experienced the past, present and future of fashion. “Fashion of the 20th Century: 100 Years of Apparel Ads” is a bible to women and men destine to learn the in-depth, unrelenting pace of fashion. Written by Alison A. Nieder, she has worked in fashion since 1985 in retail, apparel production, and as a fashion business journalist. Who wouldn’t want to learn from a well-rounded fashionista?
~Maybe I should write a book?

Today, Anna Wintour was introduced to the public unknown to fashion. Today, I was introduced to Grace Coddington, Creative Director at Vogue. It was always a name I knew and respected, but after The September Issue I bow down to queen of fashion spreads and the mind of a genius. I always will be Anna Wintour’s top competitor and biggest fan, but Grace Coddington stands right behind her with little room in between. The September Issue was a bible to fashionistas, and the words spoken by the editors were the blessings. Deep, I know. As Anna Wintour said, “Fashion can make a person nervous,” lucky for me fashion is what gets my adrenaline pumping. It’s the most rewarding quality I could ever ask for.
~Too bad if you don't.

Did you ever play the game Pretty Pretty Princess as a youngin’ and literally felt as if you were adorned in gorgeous jewels? A definite guilty pleasure for a young girl. Make it your reality with a beautiful piece designed by Assad Mounser. Assad Mounser is a jewelry line that represents two contradicting ideas pieced together as one. With a unique style, and costume feel, push your other jewelry Assad and make some room for Mounser.

Out of the crevices deep in your closet comes a creature unknown to man.
Making its way to a theater near you....

Nothing’s Really Changed.
I like to think of this as a rebellious ballerina.
It fits me to a T and a Tutu
Don’t mess with a fashion-crazed dancer.
~The Rhythm is gonna getchya'.
