Hey Guys!
I know it's been a while since I've updated, but I'm going to try and keep it updated! First of all my summer has been very tiresome, because I've been interning and working, and then summer school starts on Wednesday. I am taking 6 hours this summer session with my first class starting at 10 and ending at 12. My second class start at 1 and end at 3:20 Monday through Thursday, so my days are pretty much taken! I'm on my weight lost game again! I'm not fat just want to be more petite. I just got a new project with Uniquka Johnson. She's doing a fashion show at Club Hush on July 24th! I will helping with the production of her show! We're trying to make it a huge event to promote her collection. So if you're in Houston be at Club Hush on July 24th! This fall will be extremely busy, because I'm interning this fall, 18 credit hours, The Panther Newspaper, National Association of Black Journalist (PV CHAPTER)- Event Cordinator, PVAMU Year Book Staff, and working my part time job. There is another organization I am joining as well but I have to do some research to make sure I really want to become a member. I need to meet with my executive board members so we can get our agenda together for the 2009-2010 school year! Oh GOOD NEWS FOR ME to reward myself for a challenging semester. I'm going to NYC for NYE with my best friends. I'm super stoked, because I never been to NYC before. Most of the time our trips fall through because lack of organization, but i'm becoming better at planning things so it will be SUCCESSFUL! I will set a budget, and whoever can't afford can't go... it's that simple! LOL... I'm trying to prosper in life people that's why i'm taking all the experience I can get!

He's a Legend and will always live on!

Alexander Wang an upcoming young designer!!

The California Native moved to New York at the age of 18 to attend Parsons Design School. During his sophomore year, Alex had already started designing his first collection. Wang launched his full Womens collection in 2007, selling internationally to over 200 boutique and retail stores. In 2008 Alexander Wang followed by a launch of his full accessories collection. Now at 25 Alex resides in New York City's Lower Eastside, where there is never a shortage of inspiration in music, life, reality, and culture. In 2008, Alexander Wang received top honors as the recipient of the Vogue/CFDA fund; and in 2009, he was recognized by his peers with his second nomination for the CFDA Swarovski Womens Wear designer of the Year Award.

Wangs Style is unique and different, and stands out. Not in a bad way, but in a simply cute way. Anna Wintour said his designs have a huge impact on Vogue. Congrats Alex, and keep up the good work!

Alexander Wang Design's obviously caught Rihanna or her stylist eye. This is one of his designs from his Pre-Fall 2009 Collection. For contact and store locations check out www.alexanderwang.com

Anna Wintour on Leaving Vogue, Fur, and Model Covers

While Conde Nast chairman Si Newhouse is off in Europe, prompting rumors that something big is on the horizon, Anna Wintour sat down with Jonathan Tisch for a public chat last night. PETA members peppered the audience, heckling Wintour with shouts of "This woman skins animals alive!" Before they were removed from the room, Anna replied, "Fur is still a part of fashion, so Vogue will continue to report on it."

The discussion covered a number of topics, including the Internet — Wintour said that Vogue.com, which has been noticeably increasing in content the past couple of months, will "break out on our own" from Style.com next year. She also mentioned that Andre Leon Talley, who recently started a blog for Vogue.com, Talley Ho!, was initially dragged kicking and screaming to the Web, saying he wasn't into the modern world, but now loves blogging. Some highlights, including a hint at the next cover, from the chat — more at The Cut:

You've said it's time to move on from a job when you get too angry. Are you getting to the point where you're thinking about other options?
Well, mostly I'm thinking about the next day. I think that I have the best job in the entire world. To be honest, I don't think I'd be very good at anything else!

So will we be seeing more models and less celebrities on the cover of Vogue?
Well, tomorrow is another day. We'll never know. But we certainly do have a model tied to the next issue, yes.

How do you go about hiring people for Vogue?
I really hire on instinct, and I look for people who are going to disagree with me. I think personalities like André Leon Talley and Hamish Bowles are really important to the magazine. Some people talk about lots of market research, but I've never really believed in that.

What's the role of department-store directors now?
We work together. Both department stores and Vogue have really struggled with designers' inability to understand global warming. The fact that they think a woman wants to wear triple cashmere and felt, hairy fabric in the middle of June or July — we go in and say, 'Maybe this isn't the smartest idea.'

If you could pick one cover or one face that describes Vogue, what or who would it be?
I have very fond memories of my first cover of Vogue, which was a girl named Michaela Berçu wearing a Christian Lacroix couture T-shirt and Guess blue jeans. And I remember that cover with great promise, because I feel that it meant something's changing, something's different. My first cover is my favorite cover.
