Vintage is the "New Chic"

Vintage is the "New Chic"

Vintage is at a all time high from clothes,shoes even down to your lingerie. The Vintage look we are most inspired by just in time for the hot weather and long beach days....is the Vintage Bathing Suits...from the two pieces to the One Pieces. 

We love them all, it reminds me of that hopeless romantic in some romance movie....falling in love in the summer months. Its not only classic, but not showing too much...it give you that mystery leaving the man wanting more. Here are some of our favorite looks.

Lets Talk About It: Hype Jeans (Hype Season 2011)

                                     "LETS TALK ABOUT IT"
****************************************************************************************************************

So we are here with Founder and CEO of Hype Jeans Clothing, Talking about how he entered the Fashion world and also his new 2011 Spring Collection. As well as all the other Ventures he will be getting into.


Q. Tell us a little about yourself
A. My name is Jean Maxine baptize founder and CEO of Hype Jeans Clothing Line. I’m a cool & serene person. I have been labeled as business oriented, a real negotiator. As well as trust worthy, and a all around open minded person.


Q.   What inspired you to get into fashion design?
A. I was interested from when I was younger from the styles back then. From what’s trending. I remember in the 90’s baggy pants were in. And then now the more fitted look. I always wanted to put my finger in. To put my saying in what was hot. Also I was an artist before; I didn’t want to see my stuff on walls I wanted to see it on fabric. What makes turning a fabric into an outfit, just the interest in it as a whole.

Q. How long have you been designing?
A. I been designing since I was 11 years old, But I took it more serious when I was going into high school. All my friends told me I should design and go into fashion.

Q. If you had to do something else what would it be?
A. It probably would be go into the music business. My family is into the music business. My God mother is into the music industry. So that’s where I would have been headed if it was into Fashion.

Q. Which designers have been important references for your designs?
A. Ummm, I would say Coogi, Members only, and Rockawear; these are designers that I actually interned for. They were pioneers that have paved the way. Coogie has been around for awhile. And Members only was around for awhile for along time as well. Members only aren’t really into branding they are more casual wear. Check out Michael Jackson jackets. I actually like the branding of Coogi, the color theme they have.

Q.  Where do you see Hype Jeans in the next five years?
A. In the next five years, I would say globally. I already have certain major accounts here in the states and as far as France. I can see us going further into the European states. And as far as the states goes I want to see us in Cali, Virginia and all across America.

Q.  If you had the opportunity to design for one person, who would it be??
A. I would have to say Coogi, I like there former idea of fashion. Have you ever seen something in the store and you would be like that’s hot, but only if I could take this off. That’s how I would design for Coogi.

Q. What can you say to any aspiring designers?? Any advice that you may have for them?
A. Advice to them would be thinking outside of the box, if you really want this grind like there is no tomorrow. If you think it’s going to fall into your lap it’s not. You have to make people want your product. It’s a lot of elements that are into the fashion market. It’s not just about the fashion it’s also about the business side.


Q. How can you get Hype Jeans Clothing?
A. You can either go to www.hypejeans.com/ malluu.com/ moles sneaker spot they are located in several areas such as queens, Bronx, and down town Brooklyn. You can also find us in France.
 

Q. What’s the buzz about Hype Jeans?? Anything new in store for the line?

A. Yes, pretty much I have a new 2011 items coming up for the spring, new store accounts, promotional events. And a fashion show coming up April/May. We are also in a virtual mall www.Malluu.com located on the second floor click left.

To Be Funny...Or Not To Be

To Be Funny...Or Not To Be

So artist artist Alexsandro Palombo is getting a lot of attention for his as he calls it humorous
"I <3 Anorexia" T-sh arts. Do you find them funny or Not??

Personally I don't find it funny, even with all the explaining that he has done on his blog. He has not altered my opinion one bit. It is not funny to make fun of a illness that many young women face with. Its like Parading sickness around...I don't want to be a part of that.


Tell me what you think-funny? or not?

Fashion Police Around The World!!!

Fashion Police Around The World!!!

Wow they have taken it up a notch don’t you think…here is just a few countries that have banned certain article of clothing in their nation. Yes they did it!!!

Here are five of the Top Bans..

5.  Stop Wearing your pants under your butt {Pending} America and United Kingdom

Come on Guys y'all can do better!!

4. No tight clothing  [Sections of Indonesia]

Cheap or Not....Indonesia doesn't want tight clothing...I figured leggings to be the tightest article of clothing us Americans wear lmao

3. Dubai {yes Just like Sex In The City2}



Its not a ban they just suggest that you respect their culture while coming there.



2. China bans Obama shirts [Obamau]



They only banned it for the time that President Obama will be coming to visit with them. They did this because they thought it would offend him. Once he leaves to come back to America they can continue sells.

1. Italy bans mini skirt - Short lived bans have also been introduced in parts of Russia and Chile

"Proposal for seaside town near Naples one of many to help 'restore urban decorum and facilitate better civil coexistence"

Some of us wouldn't be able to do this. I know I couldn't, its just sad to me to put so much a block on someone creative choice. Fashion is also a voice to the world why do we have to shut up.

{Project Runway Season8} And the Verdict is in........

With a big question mark on my head, I say congratulations to Gretchen. I say her collection was OK, but it didn't have what it took to make me say "wow I want it all, I will spend my last dime on that"...It was only two pieces that was my absolute fav from her collection. Maybe it was her personal attitude and manipulative ways that just makes me shake my head at the judges, especially since she was told she needs better styling. Shouldn't that have been reason for her not to win, but hey why question them they know best right. W/E

Who do you think should have took it all?? had that moment?

Just in case you missed last nights episode, judge for yourself.....Watch last night episode here.

Project Runway Season8

Project Runway Season8

So we are down to the last episode of Project Runway Season8. So the first part of the finale happened last week when the designers had to show their work for the last competition before Fashion week. Poor Micheal cried his heart out when he was sent home, but didn't we know it would be him.




Don't you think Grentchen a known Micheal hater was thrilled no matter what she showed. Humph, laters babe you will defin be somewhere soon just like most project runway hopefuls.

Now I loved Love Mondo (was not always a fan of him) but he has defin grown to my liking.

And Andy has some stuff I truly adore........

Gretchen is not really not my fav, but she does have some stuff I wouldn't mind seeing in my closet.

So I guess the competition for me is really a competition anyone can really take this.......but I think Mondo has a lead on this one.


Lets see who takes it all. And all I mean as in............This winner of Project Runway season 8 will receive $100,000 from L’Oréal Paris, a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine, a $50,000 technology suite by HP and Intel, and the opportunity to design and sell an exclusive collection on Piperlime.com. The model paired with the winning designer will appear in the designer’s editorial feature in Marie Claire magazine and will receive $25,000 from L’Oréal Studio Secrets Professional.

Who do you think has what it takes to "Make It Work"?
