LaChapplle's Tableau Vivants for Maybach

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

This Maybach ad campaign by David LaChappelle spoke to me on so many different levels and I thought it was appropriate inspiration being that tonite is NYE!! Maybach also speaks luxury and success to me so I wish all of you that in the New Year. But what also gets me is the production of a shoot of this magnitude. I'm like a kid in a candy store looking at all the detail that went into this production!!

What a DOPE concept. Simple. But still BOLD. A statement that needs to be addressed in the fashion industry...SIZE. The fashion industry with it's magazines, advertisements, and catwalks of young-boney-azz-emaciated-blow-over-in-2-seconds-anorexic-or-bulimic baby girls has definitely contributed to how negatively young girls view their body image. In the past few years though, there's been somewhat of a stint to address that issue through the media. Dove's infamous Campaign for Real Beauty is a perfect example showing that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes...AND now V magazine is dedicating an issue (on newsstands everywhere Jan 14th 2010) to the idea of just that! I mean, even though I've modeled in my heyday I was NEVER a size 2...although, I will admit to the fact that I once thought I HAD to be...

Thank God those days are over because I finally realize that I have an athletic build and I LOVE my slender curves...And the two models (Crystal Renn and Jacquelyn Jablonski) wearing the same outfits showing off thier different body shapes is such a clever idea for an editorial...they both are giving it!! I will say though, Crystal doesn't look like a size 12 to me in this editorial...what do you think?

Well, this is just Day 1 of Model.com and their sneak peak of the exclusive preview of V magazine's Size Issue. Keep checking back to eat more... ;-)

in LOVE,
Lady Yvette

SOKO & TFA: "Ideas in Progress":

"It's not where you take things from, it's where you take things to."
~Jean-Luc Godard, French filmmaker and founder of the "French New Wave"

I've been hard pressed to find something that would move me to post and share with you. I fell upon the above quote when dissecting this "idea in progress" - yeah, that's what they call it. They claim it's "not a magazine, not a website, not a blog, it's not even a collection of "good stuff" we found on the internet." So, I guess we are left with an "idea in progress". And in a way, I like to think that my "blog" is just that too, dedicated to inspiring, edifying, & discovering the Art of Fashion...Unfortunately, I DO search the internet to find "good stuff" (more like "DOPE stuff") and I am always inspired from watching everyone else around me...it's actually fun researching the web for the:

explicit
sexy
avante-garde
out-of-this-world
beautiful
out-of-box
crazy
exotic
bold
funny
smart
innovative
strange
delusional
gorgeous
mind-blowing
(I will continually add to the list.)

And look what I found:

SOKO, is an arena where there are no boundaries or restrictions to create through fashion, photography, art, music, design and illustration. After discovering this place, I now feel validated that my ideas for The Fashion Ambassador is on the right path...

Lady Yvette stays open to all that is different and anything that pushes the boundaries in fashion!! And I want to share the daring pieces I find...continually adding to this "work in progress", hopefully inspiring you to dig deep to orchestrate masterpieces!

in LOVE,
Lady Yvette
