Edgy looks from Hungarian designer Kata Szegedi. A graduate of the Krea Contemporary Arts Institute in Budapest, Kata became the top young fashion designer at the Fashion Awards in Hungary. Definitely Gaga-worthy!

Les Jupons de Tess

J’adore Les Jupons de Tess… how sexy is this French lingerie line? I am obsessed!

Les Jupons de Tess is a French lingerie label creating collections inspired by the elegance of the 18th century woman. It is an era characterised by the ‘Art de la toilette’ and female ‘coquetterie’.  Symbols of the period, such as frills and ribbons, adorn the various styles.  These “Boudoir” collections have been updated to create a glamorous range of corsetry and lingerie for a woman who, depending on her mood, wants to be flirtatious, seductive or mischievous. The features that most strongly evoke this period include bodices with fitted corsets, the use of silk, the influence of English fashion, pieces in sheer cotton, high-waisted chiffon gowns…

The result is a delicate collection, using finely worked, elegant and luxurious fabrics. Layers of chiffon, “Leavers” lace and silks combine to create a couture feel.

Speaking of obsessions, the other day I was in CVS looking for a deep conditioner (summer kills my hair) and I stumbled upon Dove’s Intensive Repair. I think it was on sale or something, at any rate, it was certainly cheaper than the Nexxus stuff I usually buy (which they were out of)… anyway, this stuff really works. My hair is so soft! I have absolutely no affiliation or connection to Dove or their products. To be frank, their regular shampoos and conditioners don’t really work in my hair. But this stuff is awesome. Plus, I found a free sample voucher thingy for you online. Definitely worth the $5 I spent and most certainly worth a try for free!

What a week and it’s only just begun!
Enjoy today’s talented designer, Lindsay Weatherread! From her Bio:

Lindsay Weatherread is a native of Dallas, Texas and was always interested in fashion, but her first love was dance. Formally trained since the age of 3, she won competitions on a regional and national level. She then continued on at Oklahoma City University with a dance scholarship and was a member of the “American Spirit Touring Dance Company” and taught dance for a number of years thereafter.

Realizing that she had developed an interest in fashion design, she subsequently attended El Centro Community College for Fashion and Pattern Design. She is now honored to be a member of the El Centro College Fashion Advisory Board. While still in school for Fashion Design, she was signed on by Link Artist Resources as a fashion stylist for print and film. .

Lindsay pushes her limits as a designer who wants to perfect the draping and fabric manipulation technique, and calls her unmistakable style “Origami for Your Body.”

Lindsay also has a strong compassion for charitable causes and contributes to Leukemia Lymphoma Foundation, Center for Brain Health, DOTS terminally ill, TAPS, and other traumatic brain injury charities. Lindsay is currently the New Face and Development Director for The Campbell Agency in Dallas.
