Expression

fashion is an expression... meaning there are really no such thing as "out of fashion" because fashion is only a means of ones expression... in every humans' unique expression of their style their personality is being reflected... fashion will always be unique to everyone... fashion is an expression, a means to communicate...
Such a great philosophy to have. However there are boundaries in fashion people flirt with the line but there are no rules. !

These Images were a shoot I styled and photographed. A Brisbane label. On the images are my old email and my middle name is Louise.

Show Pony

This Style ticks all boxes - groomed, easy, wearable and was seen in a multitude of incarnations: Ultra glossy ( jill sander). side part (Stella McCartney), with coloured extensions (Miu Miu), high on the head (Thierry Mugler) and bouncy ( Louis Vuitton).
It is one of my favorites and easiest to do. Back comb and hairspray.

be inspired & stay inspired

I am a visual person and love looking at images that amaze and inspire me. I don't like books to be closed in a book shelf I need to see them. On the coffee table or on my bed side table on my mood and inspiration boards. Often I carry them around with me daily to work and read on my lunch break. I love reading and being inspired by respected and talented designers, stylists, authors, fashion Icons and anyone that loves beauty and glamour.
Above are my top ten books along with Vogue, Harper's, Madison and Russh Magazine. I love the editorials and the fashion boundaries that continue being pushed and stretched on a daily basis. I want to be up to date with the latest trends, hair styles, make up and new up and coming Designers. It is my job to know whats hot, whats not and most importantly whats right for you.
If your in need of some inspiration these are the books you should check out. And remember go to your local library to consume yourself and get out of the house and into a different surrounding.

Influence

Influence

Fashion-forward mini-mavens Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen talk to the famous figures who have inspired and shaped them.


"Our career is a dream. I mean, we get to act, travel around the world, and meet cool people. What's not to love!"
Mary-Kate Olsen


Dreams can come true and if you want something so much you will get it. Through hard work and determination you will make it to where you want to be. But most Importantly always appreciate the support and love from the people that believe in you. I honour those people in my life everyday.

Karl Lagerfeld

Indroducing the One and Only Karl Lagerfeld !

One of the most successful, influencial and recognisable fashion Designers of all time. A well respected and talented man in the world of Fashion. I confidently say, "He is definatly the most influencial and impacting designers of all time". For me I love his creations, I love that he takes the photographs and is the creative director, designer, he sets the mood. He has total control of the easthetic of a collection, campaigne, shoot or editorial. My carear would be complete if I met or even spoke to this man. Below a biography of where and how far he has come in the world of beautiful fashion.

Lagerfeld first worked for Pierre Balmain (1954-57), then in 1958 he moved to House of Patou. For a while, he freelanced at Krizia. He worked for Chloe in 1959-78, during which time he began designing furs for Fendi (in 1965) and also launched his company, Parfums Lagerfeld (in 1975). Lagerfeld designed independently from 1978 to 1982, when he began designing haute couture at the House of Chanel. In 1983, with the help of Gilles du Four, he added Chanel ready-to-wear garments to his list of responsibilities. Although he continued to design for Chanel, Lagerfeld established his own design business in 1984 and resumed designing for Chloe in 1992. The engagement with Chloe ended in 1997, when design at Chloe was took over by ex-Beatle Paul's daugther Stella McCartney. Lagerfeld currently designs for three companies: his own label, Chanel, and furs for Fendi of Italy. His signature line, which is developed from sketches, features very structural and dramatic women's wear, mostly in black and white. He featured the "Wunderbra" and the "Wundercorset" in 1994. As an avid photographer, Lagerfeld often shoots his own press photos, and is sometimes called "Kaiser Karl" by the press. His personal trademarks include a fan, a long ponytail for his powdered-white hair, and sunglasses. He is a uniquely confident man and speaks German, French, English, and Italian.

Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time.
