Statement Making Pants

Kylie Minogue in plaid.

Hilary Rhoda in leopard print denim.

Elle Macpherson in red leather pants.

Emmanuelle Chriqui in waxed skinnies.

Chloe Moretz in lace pants.

Elle Macpherson in metallic, silver skinnies.

All right ladies, it's time to toss the blue jeans aside this season.  A pair of statement making pants instantly amps up you outfit without being over the top.  From metallic to lace to leather to leopard, all you have to do is throw on a solid colored sweater, some accessories and you can go from day to night!

My Favorite Spring 2012 Ad Campaign

John Galliano by far, wins my vote for his Spring 2012 ad campaign.  Although it does not scream of his usual, over the top statement making glam, and the clothes are a bit drab, the ad unmistakably resembles the classic movie, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.  But, is this ad a good look for the designer who is currently dealing with addiction issues?

Save the Date

For more than seven years, Cliché boutique in the Uptown neighborhood in Minneapolis has produced runway shows featuring the ready-to-wear collections of the most talented local designers. This year, expect something different as runway devolves to voyeurism. For Avoid the Grey, Cliché allows guests to gaze clandestinely into the private thoughts and inspiration of ten local designers. Each designer has concealed the inspiration for their 2012 collection within a chamber. Peer through these chambers and see what has never been shared before...the birth of a collection. No binoculars required, just a pair of prying eyes.   

Featuring clothing and accessories by Amanda Christine, Ariel Simone, Carmichael Claith, Chrysopoeia, Cocoquette, Danielle Everine, Gina Marie Vintage, Kathryn V., Kjurek Couture, KR Designs, Larissa Loden, Needle & Black, Rachel Blomgren, Realia by Jen, Sarah M. Holm and Sweet T.
