Lee Alexander McQueen CBE 1969-2010

2010-02-16T13:20:00.000-08:00

RIP Alexander McQueen

McQueen's death was announced on the afternoon of 11 February 2010. He was found dead that morning by his housekeeper at his home on Green Street, London W1. Paramedics were called; they pronounced him dead at the scene. McQueen died days before London Fashion Week, and nine days after the death of his mother.

McQueen has been credited with bringing drama and extravagance to the catwalk. He used new technology and innovation to add a different twist to his shows and often shocked and surprised audiences. The silhouettes that he created have been credited for adding a sense of fantasy and rebellion to fashion. McQueen became one of the first designers to use Indian models in London. He is a very talented individual and I could go on and on about his work. Even though he has left us his work will forever breathe on

Last Years's Words Unsaid - By Kamara Brown

2010-01-01T02:09:00.000-08:00

She sat in her room with the darkness falling in
And Began to ripped the pages out of a small diary
paragraphs were filled with text deeply engraved
visibly indicating days that weren’t her best
but no matter what,
there was always something there,
something marked ,something printed, enrolled, scratched .erased. Carved, recorded or written neatly
Just something
some form of acknowledge meant that each day
was different from the last
And if she decide to assemble theses pages together again
A story would unfold
See
this little book
held a year of words unsaid .
Thoughts and emotions that were never expressed
Times she felt the future would never come
Secrets that were never to leave the tip of her tongue
Memories that lights up her face to this day
spiritually cant be erased
all within her diary
launching the date January first 2009
It reads:

“ is it a crime for me to be going to school and enjoying a hobby that I love to do. I don’t feel wanted here. I need to leave wish I had a my own space ASAP a car to fuckin drive away. Its hard enough im dealing with school now my parents aren’t talking to me and im stripped away from the one thing that keeps me sane.. All I want to do is dance and go to school why cant anyone understand that…………..”

As she continues to read
tears start to fill her eyes
So She proceeds
Ripping away each page that reminded her of the days she felt alone
No one to hear her cry..
Just a bucket to confine the tears that would soon over flow
See this
was jus the beginning
If it aint one things it’s the another
Now Schools becoming harder then she thought
Clothing has now become her disguise
Moneys becoming n issue n every day she questions y
So she rips
Tearing away every single page
Every moment that was placed on a leaf
Every ups and downs that was that was funded by the ex that was all about himself
To blind to see
that she, her, did everything possible to not become
“That Girl”
The one who cared for a person who hardly returned the love
The one who allowed herself to be indoctrinated by a guy
F.Y.I who never took intrest in her goals, dreams or anything of that kind.
“That Girl”
The one who called waiting to hear a hello
but got the voice mail instead
The one the who felt un appreciative but still stayed
“That Girl”
And with each date being recorded there was proof in which she did became “That “
.363,364,365.366, and shes done
Ripping the last page of the chapter
Some significantly more important then others
What ever the case maybe
The diary of words unsaid is gone
So she smiles
loving the relief and joy of starting a new year
The idea of having a second chance
New goals, new ideas, new friends, new challenges, new expectations, new love, new life
With a new diary in her left and a pen in her right
She launches the date January 1st 2010
To acknowledge that this year will be better then last, as she runs to the future n let goes the past

Steven Klein snapped the eight black-and-white, horizontal pictures in a former lay convent in uptown Manhattan. They will appear in groups of two or three to better display the reportage effect. A budget for the campaign, which breaks in February fashion titles, wasn’t available, though Gabbana described the investment as a “serious one.”

The shoot mirrors the mood of the designers’ sexy spring show, brimming with heritage Dolce & Gabbana staples and romantic accoutrements. “The collection is very Italian, very Sicilian,” said Gabbana. “

Kanye West Foundation

2009-12-14T13:29:00.000-08:00

The Kanye West Foundation provides opportunities for young people to engage in the creative and performing arts, and to develop the tools to remain in school and graduate. As a permanent tribute to Dr. Donda West’s extraordinary legacy and passion for education and children, the foundation partners with schools and community organizations to provide underserved youth access to music production and academic support programs that will enable them to unleash their creative ability and reach their full potential. “Loop Dreams”, our music education program, will directly impact the lives of young people. ALL PROFITS FROM THIS AUCTION WILL BENEFIT THE KANYE WEST FOUNDATION

You ready to glow in the dark? Crash landed alone on an unknown planet for the entirety of his Glow in the Dark set with huge space scapes behind him, Kanye West takes you on a musical and visual odyssey that no antihero has taken you on before. This deluxe volume represents another leg of that voyage, giving you a gorgeous photographic ride through West’s life, both on and offstage, as well as into the intimate technologies of his creative process with top visual artists of today. The instrumentals are tracks from his set remastered to echo John Williams’s famous score ("Jesus Walks" is Vader’s theme). In personal sketches and reference imagery, 3-D models of the holodeck-ian stage, and costume designs (including his Grace Jones– inspired outfits for opening act Rihanna), West once again expands a medium and triumphs in the artist’s epic struggle to be creative. With a CD including previously unreleased instrumentals from the show as well as an interview with tour collaborator Spike Jonze, the book is not only a memento of one of the most successful musical performances of the year, but it is also an experience all its own.

The Kanye West Foundation Loop Dreams T-Shirt is a dope grey t-shirt with the signature Kanye West Foundation Loop Dreams logo. If this shirt isn’t dope enough as is, this is a 1-of-5 version of the shirt autographed by none other than ‘Ye himself!

he shoe, which takes Kanye West’s nickname Yeezy, draws upon the innovations from Nike’s rich sporting history and fuses them with original lines, materials, and design elements that reflect West’s unique style. This auction is for the Net/Net colorway, the last and final Air Yeezy colorway!
