"That Fashion Chick"

Who is she?

That Fashion Chick {TFC} has magnetic style.  She is very much aware of her personal style- the foundation of a TFC.

It all begins with: Style.Confidence. IT!

*Style: a TFC knows how to edit her style, while staying in code with balance & flow.

*Confidence: a TFC owns her look as she exudes effortless appeal.

*IT!: a TFC can not be denied when her fashions meet style.  As her personal style is displayed with confidence,  the wow factor is inevitable.

Are you a "That Fashion Chick"?! It's time to dissect this chick!

Runway Love: CHANEL Fall-Winter 2014/15 Ready-to-Wear show - Full Film {Watch This!!}

You can ALWAYS count on Chanel {Mr. Lagerfeld} to put on a magneef show *fashion voice* lol.

See, this is what gets me inspired and all hyped about fashion. The Chanel chick is branching out more with style and edge like never before.  There are the lovely layers and the classic tweed, but there is also a sense of youthfulness with this collection. Chanel is letting her hair down; being a bit more chilax with her style. So kool in fact, it is chic enough for the grocery store.

The concept and just tying everything in with the collection, made for a very intriguing show!

TBT: Willi Smith founder of Williwear - Fashion Designer {Black History Month}

This is Willi Smith a fashion designer declared ”the most successful black designer in fashion history”  by fashion writer Liz Rittersporn, with the New York Times in 1987.

via Simply Kim Ross:

Willi Smith, founder of Williwear in 1976, increased his sales from $30,000 to $25 million in his first year in 1986. His line was featured in more than 500 department and specialtystores. Although he designed for “real people”,  Smith designed for wealthy and prominent people such as suits for Edwin Schlossberg and his groomsmen when he married Caroline Kennedy in 1986. He also designed clothing for Spike Lee’s film, “School Daze”. Smith’s talent for making the most of limited resources extended to the presentation of his fashions. The hallmarks of Smith’s designs are–natural fabrics, a relaxed, comfortable fit, colorful and eye-catching material, and a reasonable price tag.

Good stuff and great fashion inspiration for real!
