Obama makes history once again.

A black man is returning to the White House.

Four years ago he was elected which broke the barrier of white verses black.

If he would have lost the election he would have still made history because he was the first black president.

So how did the economy react to him winning?

Many states witnessed the racial comments because he did win.America  society today believe he messed up the economy. But he came into the office with it being in bad shape.

These next four years was given to him as a token of the American gratitude. Now he has the chance time to recover the country as a whole and do what he feels is best for the country. No matter how anyone feels.

OBAMA IS STAYING IN THE OFFICE!!!!

According to the media R&B stars Chris Brown and Rihanna are dating again.

Rihanna “loves” Chris and only broke up with him because of the negative press he was getting in the way.

Out of all four cities I notice a lot of clean lines, well tailored, I also seen a lot of half box jackets, not only that but the Japanese traditional kimono style wraps. Simple garment with crazy prints.

A brand a word or symbol that identifies the source of goods or services and differentiates it from the competitors goods or services. Fashion as a whole has numerous of brands such as Hollister, Victoria Secret, A&F, Juicy Couture, and many more. The brands represents the store and the label (advertising).

What is branding? Brand refers to the way a store, label, or designer impresses customers and influences their perceptions of the brand. Branding is how the company  encourages shoppers to buy the brand and become a loyal customers.

Then you have your private labels such as:

Private label brands, brands are exclusive to the store in which other stores may not carry.

We all know:

Private labels are simliar in appearance to popular branded merchandise, with style piracy and knockoffs common practices. For example:

The “Little Black Dress” had a magnificent turn for the opening. Everyone seemed to have on their black dresses.

The installation had many dresses more than 70 looks representing more than 50 designers.  Some of the dresses have been worn on the red carpet by the likes of Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, and Rene Zelwegger. All these dresses are currently on the market from several collections by Prabal Gurung, Zac Posen, Tom Ford, Diane von Furstenberg, Yves Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney,Prada and Balenciaga.

Out of them all I loved the Marc Jacobs man dress.  I remember when Seth Meyers had it on, while hosting the CFDA Awards in New York City Monday night, basically being a joke about the dress. But I loved it.

Historical Influence in today’s fashion:

I have a basic, typical, fashion designer answer:

Coco Chanel was a pioneer of luxurious, sophisticated women’s clothing. From little black dresses to her famous suits, Chanel created timeless pieces that continue to influence women’s fashion today. The elements of menswear with materials that was both feminine and comfortable.

Another designer I believe is that also influenced today’s fashion in which we still see today is Christopher Bailey. Bailey represents Burberry. Their checkered pattern that earns much of the collection which is something that is also copied in today’s fashion history.

Both of these designer styles are with all the local department stores near YOU!!

Inspiration in my opinion means how far are you willing to let you mind travel. Yes, the true definition of inspiration is having a divine influence directly and immediately apply oneself upon the mind or soul. My thoughts are always scattered like a scattered brain. I can have one inspiration and go to another.

Many of my inspiration comes from inspirational or simple quotes. For example: “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” -Dr. Seuss

The question is how can you visually show that. The first thing that come to my mind is success or a ladder.

Then then leads to several thoughts. (These are the steps I approach many inspirations) Many of the inspirations end up dealing with nature. Here are a few picture of the small steps I take when approaching my inspiration(s).
