Xion Take Miami


Miami!!! We meet again.  I have traveled here for different occasions in the past: each time falling in love with such a diverse and ethnic city.  I love the downtown skyline, beautiful weather, the beaches, and great cuisine just to name a few.  Today I hit South Beach to take a dip in the Atlantic Ocean wearing all black and slaying South Florida with my fashion statements.  Enjoy the pics!!!!

Alexander McQueen A/W 2012/2013 from Paris Fashion Week

This collection is everything that fashion should be.  I love the shades, fur, and haute designs.  The legacy of Alexander McQueen lives on through Sarah Burton.








Here's video footage from the runway show

Blank Canvas


A model is like a blank canvas, perfectly measured and proportioned allowing artists to bring their visionary artifacts to life.  The model is nude; absent from colors, textures, and layers.  A model is a perfect tools needed to bring garments to life.  It starts with a sketch, the strokes of the pencil gracing the page forming what’s to become lavishly adorned upon a model.  Once the garment has been tailored to perfection, the vision is almost complete.  I love the fact that models can be styled differently expressing unique point-of-views, attitudes, moods, and sophistication.  Stylists can use the same pieces and still merchandise a look that is polar opposite from one another.  Photo shoots and the runway presentation are important for a fashion label, and having the right model to depict the concept behind the line so that the clothing can be perfectly marketed to the consumer.  Models walk the runway presenting art in the form of fashion to the world.   Hair and makeup snatched in haute couture looks, posing in couture poses for fashion editorials: which is a way that trends for the season and must have pieces are delivered to the public.  Models that have come and gone, we thank you for being a blank canvas for us to keep fashion alive!
