Buffalo. Fashion. Weekend.

I know.

You're probably thinking 2 things. 1) where the hell you been JeJa?! 2) How was Buffalo Fashion Weekend?

Well to say the least it was a great first attempt. Mercedes Benz had everything from cash bar, vip seating, goodie bags, sponsors stations & appetizers. The turnout was surprising with almost every single seat filled. I will say that I was not very impressed with the selection of designs chosen for the show. Among the participants were Banana Republic, Cache', White House | Black Market, Ann Taylor and Lu Modern Classics, to name a few. The Banana Republic mens wear collection is something fierce with sharp slacks, varied textures including stain and velvet, subtle prints and various pieces you can mix and match for business or casual wear. Most of the women's collections had signature styles for the office. Ann Taylor by far stole the show with amazing cardigans, daring skirts and knock out blouses.

Suggestions for next year: GIVE ME A SHORTER SHOW! The first half of the show was 2 hours long and the intermission was at 1/2 an hour long. Not true to NYC Fashion week at all.

I look forward to seeing more of Mercedes Benz sponsorship in Buffalo for other Fashion weekends. Don't sleep on Buffalo people. Its slowly but surely on the rise.

OHHHH EMMMM GEEEEEEZZZ!!!!

Bloggers,

What the heck is up? I'm straight slacking right now. No like seriously. Haven't posted since April 1st?! Unacceptable. Well let me redeem myself by saying I hope you all had a fabulous Easter filled with puffy pastel colored dresses, frilly socks, lots of candy and an egg or two. The countdown has begun folks! Yes, RUNWAY.20 is just 2 weeks away!!! (www.runway2.org). This show is going to be pretty freakin' orgasmic if I do say so myself. I mean first of all, its in the new Burchfield Penny Art Center. You'd have to be living under a rock if you're in Buffalo and have yet to see this fabo place. The building breathes and glows art. Its the shit, if I do say so myself. Then you have people like Laura Hoffman and Adam Lippes (yes, if you're peeing on your self its totally acceptable). Not to mention New Era, Student Designers, Buff State Alum AND local designers. You can't freakin' go wrong! So feel free to use runway 2.0 as an inspiration to count down the days of this not so sunny spring.

TTFN!

Krudmart living

Hello Blog world.

I'm @ krud, interning my life away. Actually this intern life is pretty sweet. Good music, food, convo, and clothes. You can't go wrong. As we speak I'm eating a SLAMMIN' greek salad from Falafel bar. Other than that, weathers fucking awesome, in a good mood considering I missed 1 class and did not do my hw for another. But as E says: "Sometimes you gotta just chill". Happy Hump day folks....

You're my Diamond Girl!

Happy Monday Bloggers!

Today I write to give you something fresh for the week. Feel free to use this hot line as a source of inspiration for your wardrobe this week or for the weekend...

As the spring creeps in, temperatures start to rise, we see beautiful things grow and blossom. Diamond Kutz clothing is no exception. Hardly a diamond in the rough this line was created by Sule P & Yoshi Dior (natives of NYC). These ladies took what started off as a screen printing business into a whole new world of fashion, glamour & urban couture. Quite the ambitious duo, Sule & Yoshi have managed to take the College scene by storm with their unique take on dresses (check out Tiffany in the tutu piece!) to jeans and tops (Maddy last to your right in the deep orange!). Best described, Diamond Kutz is urban, chic, edgy, bold and willing to take it to the next level all in good taste.

Having been featured in local fashion shows such as UB's Black Explosion & the Fashion Students Association "Rebirth of Fashion" these ladies show no signs of slowing down. Recently, they were seen at BET's 106 & Park. Diamond Kutz went in promoting all their fabulous fashions.

This line is soon to be bigger than a five carat engagement ring.

Wanna see me more from your favorite Diamond girls?! Take a look at their facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=36699798278&ref=ts
