colorful commando

Sunday, September 18th 2011

Military jackets have been in for a while, a clear sign of the world we live in (chaotic). But this season you will see an evolved interpreation of the commando must have, incorporating color blocking, and contrasting fabrics. Trend is an interesting concept, it is continually changing as are our surroundings. If you stop to think about it, trend forecasting essetially pulls from entertainment in the current films and books, as well as the economy (take it back to minimalism), technology (nod to Steve Jobs for making all iThings) and other influences to find inspiration. Lets take the military jacket for example - it has been trending since we have been back in combat for a few years now, also the modern Alice in Wonderland Film has greatly impacted today's fashion. Another super trend for Fall is loafers and our current obsession is le All Saint loafer, super stylish but also affordable and comfortable. It is tresridicool to find the trendier pieces for a bargain, and reserve your liquid cash for life or death necessities like Alexander Wang sunglasses, enough said.

Tresridicool <3 Isabel Marant anything and everything all time, yes! However, there are exceptions to be made when you find a great basic for a good price. Kim found this Tallula t-shirt and Wilfred military jacket from Aritzia. The tee looks like Isabel Marant as far as fit, but is much softer having a modal based blend, OH and it's $35!!!!! When you go commando, don't go butch on us, try to incorporate a little femininity by wearing a colorful pant (another super trend). Kim went commando with her hot pink pants (by Zara, duh). Copy that.

"Fear is not an option" those words said by DVF changed me. I was reading an interview in the Influence coffee table book by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. In the interview DVF expressed that her mother as a survivor of the Holocaust believed that living without fear was the only way to live your dream. Right then and there I decided. Fashion was where I belonged. It is an artful expression that drapes us, and each day we have a new canvas to paint.

We all have a story to tell, but for now I will share just what you need to know. I was born to an Iraqi-Czech parental unit in New York City. After ten years life lead me to live and study in other metropolis: Palm Beach, Seattle, Los Angeles... Each place with its own pace and style. It was my time spent living in Israel and traveling throughout Europe that instilled an edgy chic in my step. Today I live and love in New York City.

Kim is both inspiring and natural. She was born in Paris to a Polish mother and Tunisian father who exposed her to the ever changing world of fashion. Growing up modeling for Naf Naf, her father's then company, and playing dress up in her mothers wardrobe - the stage was set for Kim. Fashion was her calling. Over the years she lived between Paris and Brussels until the fateful day she moved to LA to further pursue her education.

Having been raised in an international and entrepreneurial family Kim learned that anything is possible so long as you put forth the effort to achieve your dreams. Her passion for the artful expression of fashion lays in its interpretation. She recognizes the relevance of perspective knowing that each person has come from a different walk of life and such is the beauty of style. No two people are the same and that is to be celebrated. Like history, you need to know where fashion began to know where it is going.
