VueSociety Review on Nordstrom

Nordstrom Fashion Show 2009Before I get onto dissecting of what I think of the show, I want to clearly state that I am not a fashion show guru; these are just opinions from a fashion lover that’s been to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Shows in NY.

Prior to attending any fashion show here in WA, I didn’t expect much from Seattle or the Eastside. I actually didn’t expect it to even come close to the shows and parties that I’ve been exposed to.

The honest truth is that I have been hearing much negativity towards fashion shows here in the Greater Puget Sound area, not particularly Nordstrom but other fashion shows which even lessened my expectations for the fashion show I just attended.

Bellevue Nordstrom Fashion Show 2009

Nordstrom Bellevue Square hosts a Sold Out Fall Runway show at Bellevue Fashion Week to benefit Detlef Schrempf Foundation.

Approximately 500 guests enjoyed a cocktail reception and on-site boutique shopping along with a runway fashion show featuring the fall 2009 collections from DVF, Elizabeth and James, Haute Hippe, Hugo Boss, Leifsdotter, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Milly, Rag & Bone and Vince.

Tickets for the event were $150 for VIP access including runway seating and $50 for general admission. Proceeds from all ticket sales benefit the DS Foundation.

Testing Looklet

nordstrom fashion show 2009 bellevueSydneylovesfashion introduced me to Looklet after my Polyvore post and I’m just testing it out… As I should be getting ready for the Nordstrom Fashion show, I played with the site a bit. What do you think?

You can click the image to see in better detail of the image.

If I looked like that I’d probably wear that too. ;)

Okay, I’m off to getting ready for the Nordstrom Fashion Show!

the New Polyvore is Favorable

My Character for "The Fashion Apprentice"I absolutely fell in love with the creations on Polyvore… I’m thinking about moving from ShopStyle to Polyvore.

AHH it is absolutely so catchy.

If you’re on Polyvore, add me as a friend. I don’t have any. The icon is on the right column above facebook.

Dressing like a Man

My dear reader friend Mango had suggested the following…

“Hey admin, here is another topic – How trendy can be a man without crossing on the “other side”? For example in the last issue of GQ, the Burberrry ad shows guys wearing lipstick…. I personally find that many man will oppose style and beauty procedures because they feel this will send a wrong message about their orientation.”

bruno-sacha-baron-cohen-lettermanBefore I dive into this topic, I can’t stress to push for attitude when it comes to style and wear. If you wanted to wear slimming pants with boots and a super tight pima cotton t-shirt, your confidence and attitude is half the story of interpretation.

Yoox- Portent by Nick Knight

I fell in love with this video because of the Elgar Cello Concerto, second movement. I never made it to try to play the second movement, but did try the first movement.

Aside from my dorkestra side, back to the video. It is for thecorner.com, the virtual space showcasing “mini-stores” from artisans and cutting-edge brands, launched the women collections on September 9th with the Fashion Film ”Portent” created exclusively for thecorner.com by the famous fotographer Nick Knight & SHOWstudio.

Hugh Jackman in Ferragamo

Can’t wait for the movie to come out, but on a style note he looks amazing.

Another huge fan of Ferragamo is Drew Barrymore.

Tuesday Night Recap of #BVFW

september issue lincoln square 2009What a great night to kick off Bellevue Fashion Week with the film ‘September Issue’ by R.J. Cutler. During the press conference with Cutler, he had mentioned that Anna was quite a private person and that ‘you had to see the film.’ I concur with that statement. You have to watch the film. It gives you a very real perspective of the fashion industry.

Cutler is one lucky man. Anna has allowed Cutler and his small team to document the life of Anna, Vogue and the September Issue. You think you know fashion? You don’t until you watch the film.
