SOUNDSUITS by Nick Cave
No, not Nick Cave the musician of wonderful moustache ! Though due to my voided music knowledge, I thought it was the same person for a while...
Nick Cave (the fashion designer/artist) has been creating theses heavily embellished masterpieces for around 4 years and his massive collection of suits has recently finished showing at the Jack Shamain gallery in NY, I mean what have I been doing with my life missing out on all his exhibitions so far (including this one). He teaches fashion at the School Of Art Institute in Chicago and I seriously hope I someday get to meet this man, he sounds like someone that would change your life if you listened carefully enough- check out his profile
He says;
"My only concern around my work is making sure that my art continues to reach a broader community. My goal is to imbue the tenets of my artwork with the global world. I want to continue to use my artwork as a foundation to help others reach their endeavors by offering opportunities and experiences through a trans-interdisciplinary collaboration."
The value of history and theory and how they relate to fine art is very central to my process. Research and exploration has enabled me to establish a non-traditional practice and a visual language I can call my own. I aim to create art that embrace innovation and is thought provoking."

FASHION FLY
Up, up, up and away!. I just couldn't get a wink of fashion lover sleep last night, as I lay in my queenly bed thrilled with the thought that the next big Winter / fall must have in every fashion lover's wardrobe will be the 'cape'. If the fashion houses are too late on providing this staple piece to their fashion followers, then take heed to my fashion tongue, bring out your cape creation for next cold climate.
Yes, yes capes may have already flown high in the fashion arena, but I can see it's revival in a big way!. My fashion prediction tells me shores such as the land of Oz, have yet to embrace the cape phenomenon.
My eye for fashion, can see capes with wonderfully odd embellished clasps and chains. Statement capes is the new furore.
Oh what a wonderful sight this will be! so bold and frivolous, teamed with your staple pant and heels............fly away my dears, fly fashion forward!.

P.S. To the fashion house: Embellish me a scarf whilst you're at it.
LACQUER MY LIPS AND PAINT ME FREE
Safe to say that Mr N.P has landed and is staying!. Home to the land of Oz and the land of the day of thanks giving, this palettable fashion colour mogul has opened the eyes of many fashion lovers.Like placing the cherry on top of a finished pie. Mr N.P and his oh so colour palettes have created finishing looks for he and she fashion lovers world over.
Bold, and rare is Mr N.Ps choice of intelligence in colours. Unlocking the hidden desires to play with colours, every fashionista dared to swipe on the hint of pink, purple, green and blue and all colours of the rainbow, just because Mr N.P says so.
Extending his foot offshores, is the greatest leap Mr N.P has taken, clever PR in his department I would say, but more so the talent is too obvious to say that it was just a marketing machine at play.
I must confess, amongst my bag of choice, somewhere deep within the ruins of phones, keys, and all things ladylike, I find my trusty mosaic blush for the day and pat, pat, pat away.
It appears to be completely in fashion to know of the Napoleon name. A fashion trend still climbing to the top.

TEENY, MINI, MINEY, MO.
Sipping champers, twinking teas and nibbling on pumpkin pie, out of the corner of my eye, clad in a leather mini and midriff top was school girl like fashion no no.She has compelled me to address the issue about tweens who dress beyond their age, if anything, dressing in noone's age. Call the fashion police and their mom's/ mum's please.
Who on earth would allow their mini me's to venture the streets clad in cheap and nasty attire?, most likely the folks are not aware or just don't care.
Fashion is a statment yes!, but not when you declare it in bad taste. I understand these young things want to be individual and create a moment in time of their own taste. But please honey, you're asking to be classified in the department of give me $5 for a shake, if you don't shake your nasty fashion habit.
It completely confuses my fashion palette to comprehend why on earth these tweens bend to this low, when the magazines circling their inner circle surely are not displaying the little handkerchief skirt and teatowel top?.
On this day, I am stern, and serious, because Madam Alexandra E. would never approve of young fashion lovers baring next to nothing and think they have just created fashion, more like just creating a sight for sore eyes.
Thankfully, there is still high hopes for these bad taste fashion lover tweens, as the mind ages, the fashion taste does also, just hoping in good taste.

Tweens clad in next to nothing - 'curling my lips' & 'No comment'
On this occasion a double opinion is a must!

P.S. For the mature fashion lovers? Please don't bother wearing mini's once you've peaked 35? . Let me put it politely, pushing a pram dressed in a mini and midriff screams, 'cheap and nasty mom/mum alert'. Unless you're supermodel gened then honey save them for another generation.
