let’s be honest. this is old news. but it’s still good news for local nail lacquer guru, nonie creme. her lovely line of delish nail shades, butter london, made an excellent accent to betsy’s visit last october at the downtown nordstrom. not only did nonie do the nails for betsey’s spring fashion week show in new york, but her line was picked up by the seattle retailer and is available in store.

i’ve gotten a wee bit behind… it might have been the over 700 images from the vogue show. here’s my images of the designers of shipley & halmos, such cool, social guys. always nice to meet the people behind the product. for a very nice write up, click here. to see their suit featured in vogue for fashion night out (congrats!) click here.
and last, but not least, lanvin. solid sheath type dresses… with some sheen at the end. all in all, a very sedate show. but who doesn’t love to see all the pretty clothes? thank you to nordstrom for having me… next big fashion shows are bellevue fashion week, and fashion first.
the largest collection shown in the show, i thought gucci offered the best menswear. sorry about the miss (about half-way down), late arrivals blocked my shot. for all of the gucci images, be sure to click Read more
so pretty, so feminine, and i am in LOVE with that statement necklace (oscar also had the best gowns, by far, of the show)! odlr knows the shape of women… if you’ve ever tried on any of his clothes, they fit amazingly… for all the oscar de la renta photos, click Read more
some pretty color, but overall, not my favourite. for all the donna karan photos, click Read more
another small collection. i thought these boots were pretty sexy. i’m looking for a brown thigh high pair for fall. for all the burberry photos, click Read more
i try to keep the posting positive on n+t… that being said, i’m not all that big a fan of michael kors. to each, his own. for all the michael kors shots, click Read more
dries is another great mixer of pattern and texture. you can see examples of it in their full paris show. i was interested to see, considering fall10 trends, that none of that o.d. green color made it to the nordstrom runway, and also any of their retro dress shapes. i’m assuming some of it will be on the nordstrom sales floor? for all the dries images, be sure to click Read more
stella’s one shoulder dresses were so pretty… i’m liking that style more and more. also, some great pops of color. for all of the stella shots, in order, be sure to click Read more
versace had some of the color in the show… so nice breaking up all the black and grey. what were your favourites? for the rest of the versace photos, in order, click Read more
could be my love affair with hosiery, but i am LOVING all the anklets with heels on the runways for fall. also on my fall must-have list? long leather gloves to go with my vintage 3/4 sleeve coats. so lush! for all the marc jacobs shots in order, click Read more
celine was a little sedate for me. but i did like the pop of this red bag. their recent spring collection was very pretty. they seemed to have carried some of the details into fall. for all the celine photos in order of appearance, click Read more
by far my favourite, i love the sedate mixed print/pattern. pretty, ladylike bow shoes, oversize rose print dress and the amazing red velvet dress were the highlights for me of d+g. for all of the photos, in order, be sure to click Read more
i’ll be posting the runway shots through the week, first up- chanel
since going through the photos, i’ve realized how much of the show i missed by shooting it. i’m not watching clothes, i’m watching footsteps, arm movement, focus and camera settings. i liked several of the chanel pieces, and by far, covet these spat-like boots most. i was told the fur was faux, or as chanel is calling it- ‘fantasy’. for all the chanel runway shots in order, click Read more
i’m easily nervous. i have trouble walking up to cool looking (unknown) people from my own city, and asking for pictures. so when i sent the email asking to take photos of seth… i fully expected… nothing. then when i got the email saying it was on, i hyperventilated.
even though i’m a clothing designer, i’d never really watched project runway, till logan was on (what a god-awful BORING season). i started last season with the ultimatum that if it didn’t grab me, right from the start… it was off the dvr list. and right from the start, i loved last season. ping… GOD… PING! anthony, jay… maya. and couldn’t you see, early on, that it was going to be mila, emilio and seth? when it got to the end, i swore i would be done with p.r. FOREVER if seth didn’t win (that crap with maya not winning the print epi was LAME- don’t believe me? read tim gunn’s blog).
anyway- seth showed up at sam remix. i’m not sure what prompted me to ask for photos… but it was a thoroughly lovely (clammy, on my part) 5 minutes. i hope you enjoy them. they might look familiar (in location). such a cool museum we have. full of fun little nooks and crannies. and thanks to seth for indulging me. and being inspiring, chasing his dream, and fucking setting the bar for what can be achieved in a couple months. that collection rocked my socks and inspired me to work harder personally as a designer.
p.s. nice bauhaus tee. such a rock star. Read more

that gorgeous dress she’s wearing… she made it. like with her hands. i’m always impressed when i see someone wearing something, and not only do i love it, i think… when she tells me where she got it, i’m going to go buy it! i wonder if handmade, beautiful dresses are in the budget… see heily’s designs here.
