Celebrity Stylist Susan Ashbrook book signing...
In my field of work, I have the privilege of meeting extraordinary people in fashion. Susan Ashbrook is no exception. She is a wonderful lady with many talents, including being a leading celebrity stylist and author of the book, Will Work for Shoes, a funny and insightful how-to book for designers who want to get their brands noticed by celebrities, buyers, editors and whoever else will get their...
Yesterday was my 3rd Anniversary with @SkimMilkProject or Alex! Yay! But due to monetary restrictions, more like brokeness, we were unable to truly, all-out celebrate.
But in true ICFashionChic fashion, I have thought of the perfect fantasy getaway and hope one day it may come true.
First…the perfect vacation:
Costa Rica
So obviously, Costa Rica is the most perfect getaway! Not at...
Yamak NY: Life of a Fashion Designer: Fittings →
I look forward to more articles like this from the Yamak boutique tumblr: Yamakny.tumblr.com!

Today, I wanted to share with everyone the process of fittings with some of the pieces from my Addison Heart line. I hold the belief that any piece from my collection should be flattering for any body type and shape. It is more or less a rite of passage for my sales girls to become a fitting...

Fashion Group International’s event was amazing, as you can see. Sotheby’s...

@Emerson_Designs casts @_loveleigh_ via...
Jackie Fraser-Swan’s Emerson Preview to the Fall 12 Collection has me so pumped for her show. She’s cast Leigh Lezark to be the face. Mrs. Fraser-Swan’s Fall 12 collection was inspired by porcelain dolls called, “Dresden Dolls”. Popular from the City of Dresden, Germany which was severely damaged from bombings during WWII and thus inspiring Mrs. Fraser-Swan to delve...

@Whatsyournude #Whatsyournude
Finally, someone is speaking out about the lingerie problem in America! Psychologist Tara Raines has had enough of the “Nude” bra institution.
For anyone slightly more tan than peach or beige, it’s impossible to find a “nude” bra. Tara Raines has shared that struggle, as have I, and finally there is something you can do about that!

@FGINYC, @MadisonAvenueBID, @ShanaFarr, etc.
Usually, my blog is a bit more editorial than it was yesterday but here I will share and divulge some inside scoops on fashion’s most prominent groups.

We’ve all been there. We begin the year by making resolutions for 2012—we’ll exercise three times a week, we’ll finally clean that junk drawer, we’ll start eating healthier—but it’s the end of the month, and not only have you not…

@DVF Reiterates the Importance of Model...
When I first arrived into the industry of fashion and someone asked me what I thought a fashion show was I would answer, “It’s a bunch of scarily skinny 12 year olds wearing great dresses.”
Now, Diane Von Furstenberg is out to make that statement only partially true! Yes, a fashion show is donned with great dresses, but thanks to Diane, she is making sure underage and...
@JPGaultier Show has an Unexpected Effect...
Jean Paul Gaultier thought immortalizing Amy Whinehouse with his clothes would be a great tribute to her, however, Amy’s family has other thoughts on the matter.

Mitch Whinehouse did not find the JP Gaultier show flattering or thoughtful:
We’re proud of her influence on fashion, but find black veils on models smoking cigarettes with a...

#H&M steals copyrighted art from Artist Tori LaConsay and denies the connection. Wow. I can’t believe my favorite affordable fashion house would do this…but they did. Explain yourself H&M!
@MichelleObama Steals the State of the Union...
Though President Obama was giving his State of the Union Address brilliantly, Michelle Obama shined just a little bit brighter in her sapphire blue Barbara Tfank sheath dress.

Now, before everyone starts in on the fact that I look a little bit like the First Lady, let’s admire the designer for a second.

Now we can put the weekend behind us and focus on the rest of the week.
It’s already Tuesday and I feel that my time...
#Blackout #SOPAstrike...What's it doing?
I’m all for the 1st amendment and the right to outwardly speak up, but only when it is not physically hurting anyone. So when I heard about the SOPA and PIPA laws that might pass, I was furious. Not that I’m excusing piracy but I believe the American people have the right to censor themselves if they want to, not their government forcing censorship upon them.
However, I have noticed...
