Probably one of the ballsiest moves you can make in fashion is wearing an all white outfit. Not because it looks crazy, or people think it’s unflattering (which isn’t completely true) but because you need to be on alert the entire day. Things I suggest not doing in all white: sitting anywhere, leaning against anything, and drinking red wine (definitely the toughest for me). But if you’re up for the challenge, it can really pay off. I mean…how awesome do all these ladies look?
Day in the Life of a Ford Model continues….with the first individual editorial all about Ford’s “it” plus girl for 2013 — Emilie Geneve.
Late last year I was approached by Ford Models to artistic direct a photoshoot, which is something I’ve always thought of doing but never had the opportunity to execute. So, basically it was kind of a big deal for me. After a few months of finalizing models, getting the perfect looks together and choosing who I’d like to work with…it’s all finally here. I really wanted this shoot to be about the models. They’re always trying to sell something, but for this purpose I wanted to see them in a setting they feel comfortable in, in clothes they love. We chose settings based off of the girl’s interests plus everything is local. I wanted the boutiques and locations involved to all be independent and/or Chicago-based. So this really IS a Chicago fashion shoot…and isn’t that what ChiCityFashion is all about?
These 5 girls are Ford’s “it” models for 2013. You heard it here first. This isn’t the last you’ll be seeing of them.

One of my favorite brands (and stores) Opening Ceremony has just introduced their first ever line of handbags…and a sweet editorial to showcase them. Not only do I want all of the handbags, I want to be friends everyone that works at OC.
When it comes to fashion magazines, the highlight of my reading experience is always the main editorial. Unfortunately, American fashion mags rarely get as creative as their European counterparts…and the latest spread in Vogue Italia is the perfect example. “The Collections on IVC” is pretty genius, in my opinion, and I love it so much I just had to share it!
Pretend like QVC sold Prada and Versace and used top models to display their designs….and this is what you’d get.
