Anna Sui is Target(ed)

this spring seaon, target has brought Alexander McQueen to the masses. come october, Anna Sui will be available to thrifty girls, like myself, who can't afford to spend $300-$700 on a piece of clothing. as much as I'd like to spend $700 on an Anna Sui dress, I have to pay for school! that's why I was so excited when WWD reported that Anna Sui signed on to do a collaboration with target. according to WWD, Anna Sui's line is inspired by gossip girl. I can't wait to see what she comes up with! her clothes are usually so ecclectic-- full of color, embellishments, patterns, and other details. countdown is on-- 5 more months!

i.m. backstage

this past wednesday I got the chance to be a backstage dresser for a showing of Isaac Mizrahi's Fall 2009 RTW hosted by Saks Fifth Avenue! it was very crowded and tight in the back with all the models, other backstage dressers, stylist, event managers, and ISAAC!...i could hardly move..and of course, the racks and racks of amazing clothes. everything from the fabric choices, trimmings, notions-- i loved it all! i was just in awe of all the garments and accessories! oh, to be the person who had the duty to put the outfits together!!! the hectic atmosphere that is backstage-- gave me an amazing rush. you know, trying to get the dress, the shoes, and small accessories on the model in under a minute got my heart pumping and my adrenaline rushing! here are some pictures i took from my phone:

my model, annie, is the one in the orange hat. by the way, you need to check that outfit out on style.com-- my camera phone does not do it justice!

a quick shot right before they walked onto the runway! i was on my tippy toes, and i was still not tall enough! oh, to be able to view the world from up there!
