Interior design on dresses by Mary Katrantzou

This designer was inspired to draw the interiors of houses on her dresses from looking at pictures in Archetechtural Digest magazine.  they are kind of busy, and would out of place in my small town, but I appreciate the innovation anyway!

Oscar de la Renta Resort 2011

Every piece in this collection is just gorgeous.  Too bad I can't afford to buy even one.  The best I can hope for is to find some similar pieces at stores like JC Penneys.

I want everything in Y-3 Spring 2010 collection

I would love to have all of the outfits in Y-3's Spring 2010 collection. Designer Yohji Yamamoto calls it his World Cup themed collection.

This is the kind of outfit that I could wear everyday to almost any activity.

Maybe part of the reason I like this collection is that it reminds me of how much fun I had coaching kids' soccer with my boyfriend a few years ago. Unfortunately, these days we are too busy to be soccer bums anymore.

Lexus Ad with Isabel and Ruben Toledo

In the latest issue of Vogue, there is a new advertisement from the Lexus "Something Better" campaign and features drawings by Ruben and Isabel Toledo. Ruben, an artist, and Isabel, a fashion designer, also happen to be a married couple. The ad is intended to show how Lexus delivers the "possibilities of tomorrow," and reveals that "the car of the future is now a reality." Isabel and Ruben were asked to create their own idea of what "someday" would look like in their field.

Ruben's fashion illustrations have appeared in magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, Details, Paper and the New York Times. He has also written and illustrated several books. Born in Cuba in 1961, Ruben's illustrations have been described as "surreal and witty."

More from Balanciaga's Spring 2010 collection

Balanciaga's Spring 2010 collection has wonderful graphic design

Here is an example of the Spring 2010 collection by Balanciaga.  I really love this collection.  It was intended to have an urban, atheletic look.  Although it is a bit too futuristic for my small rural town, this is the kind of out fits that I would like to wear.  Each of the outfits features outstanding collages of textures and colors.
