one huge blurb….

Where to begin? Lets see… As you all know the fashion world is in a frenzy with the firing of John Galliano for Dior, and the new shuffle of designers… I think that is all people can talk about as of Paris fashion week. Los Angeles fashion week was bore… and most of New York’s shows were unimpressive. Black and White has been done and done- and over done and well- in all honesty it wasn’t done well this season…

On another note- I hope you are making an effort to help Japan… Whether it is purchasing this awesome print @ http://signalnoise.bigcartel.com/product/help-japan
or the Lady Gaga wristband… we should be doing our part in helping those in need.
