met gala 2015 aka the year of rihanna

RIHANNA. We have to start here and end here and return to here because this is jaw-dropping, icon-making fashion. THIS is what the Met Ball is for.

This has been a VERY COLD February for Chicago. I thought I could skip Winter Dread this year, but it just arrived a little late.

ralph lauren fashion illustration

I love fashion week, even from afar. (It’s not like I went to shows when I was in New York anyway, so the separation’s pretty easy.) Looking at pretty things for inspiration and for fun will never get old for me. This fashion week coincided with roughly the same time I got sick of everythingContinue reading “ralph lauren fashion illustration”
