The Yellow Stars on the Fashion Sky




Jason Wu, Alexander Wang, Richard Chai, Phillip Lim, Thakoon Panichgul, Peter Som -
these are the names that are being printed next to Ralph Lauren, Donna Karen on the list this years New York Fashion Week. It is the fashion era of the Gaysians!

Michelle Obama for sure has a love for the Gaysians. Her princess-like, white one shoulder Inauguration gown was designed by Jason Wu and she wore the Radzimir kimono dress from Thakoon Panichgul's pre-spring 2009 collection as her husband delivered his Presidential nomination acceptance speech in Denver.
Unlike the 80s designers Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto, today's young Asian-American designer's aim is to attract a broad mainstream with their collection. Jason Wu is a mix of modernity but a hint of couture and Phillip Lim takes classic looks into the modern days.
Let's see what new surprices these young designers will bring us at during this year's New York Fashion Week!

Gaga's Little Japanese Monsters

Lady Gaga has not only influenced the music world, but she has also revolutionized the fashion world. Her Leotards, sunglasses and crazy hairstyles has become her signature look.
Japan is a country that is also known for its fast moving and crazy street style fashion. Lady Gaga's trend of big hair bows has been popular in Japan for several years! I was fascinated by these Japanese Gaga fans and their over-the-top fashion! It's a perfect mashup of Gaga and Japanese Style (Lolita Gaga, Mori-Girl Gaga, Shibuya Gal Gaga etc.). Are you feeling Gaga?
