little elbaz

as i waited for michelle and carlos outside of the design studio lab on the 3rd floor of the annex, I witnessed a talented new designer in the making. this little fellow could be the cousin of alber elbaz or a long lost brother of galliano... but of all my time at fidm, i've never seen anyone so innovative and provocative with fashion design. i wish i could show you a photo... but think rick owens' futuristic and gothy essence, but calvin klein's practicality. it was made purely of muslin - yet in my head, i see it in black and gold down a runway at ny fashion week. it was so conceptual, so abstract, so uncommon... i've seen a lot of cool designs in the past, but this one made my head turn. kudos, little man. i didn't even know this kid. but the way he pushed the envelope and designed a garment entirely on personal vision and innate passion, i applaud.

... ahh, i love fashion.
