Designer Spotlight: Ralph Lauren

10/27/2016

Our Designer Spotlight continues. This time we're spotlighting the iconic Ralph Lauren. We know him for his jeans, but of course Ralph Lauren does much more than that. Have you seen his September Collection? It's filled with lots of items with handmade and crochet detail which we love. The looks range from tribal prints to delicately elegant silk gowns. Dress prices range from $1490 to $4990 so you've got to have some deep pockets. But if you're like us and those prices just don't fall in your budget, simply look, admire, hope , wish, and use it as inspiration for your next project.

Do you have your Halloween costume yet? We found a free pattern from Fleece Fun and we're using it to work on a Game Of Thrones costume. We're creating a costume similar to the Jaqen H'ghar character. You can check out our Instagram for pics of our Work In Progress. The pattern calls for fleece fabric which can be purchased at any fabric store like Jo Ann's. But we'll let you in on a little tip for those on a tight budget. We simply purchased a fleece blanket for about $1.99 at the 99 Cent Store. After assembling the pattern, turns out we'll need to get another blanket to create it. Speaking of tips, do you have any tips and tricks you'd like to share? If so, share it with us in the comments. We love to hear from you.

But in the meantime, we thought we'd help out and leave you with a list of free Halloween Costume Ideas you could try. That is if you don't have one in mind yet. So with no further ado, here is our list.

Photo used has no association with Gucci or Alessandro Michele

When asked the question "what are you wearing?" to many millennials at any red carpet event, Gucci is likely to be a response. Why you ask? Because the legendary design house is courting these youngsters in an effort to remain relevant. This according to a recent Hollywood Reporter style article. Under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele, Gucci seems to be doing just that. In an interview posted on the Gucci website, he says "I love working with the ‘pop symbols’ of the company: the GG logo, the green-red-green Web stripe, the Horsebit. These are precious things—relics—and I want to give them a very contemporary attitude."
