Corysel Club?

So I've been thinking about my brand, and how I want it to look.  I've also been allowing myself to dream the dream of one day owning a Cory Allen boutique, and thinking about what I want it to look like.  Well, I want it to have all the glamor and panache of The Carousel Club from the movie White Christmas.  Mixed with my own style of course.  But it'll definitely be a point of reference when I'm designing the space.  Who WOULDN'T want to shop there???? 

Viktor & Rolf shut the eff up.

The fall/winter collection from the powerhouse duo of Viktor & Rolf has once again dazzled me. Such strong silhouettes and sculptural shapes. LOVE. Now to get working on my own collection.

Here's a photo from Fall/Winter 2010. The incomparable Matt, aka Gaudy God, wears everything well.

this is fun

Doctor, doctor, tell the news...

I'm not saying that the minute clinic isn't a great convenience for people, but I am going to say that they shouldn't diagnose things like hyper-tension blood pressure levels and things such as lazy eyes. Neither of which I have. Of course I made an appointment to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead of a heart attack, and not only was my blood pressure amazing, my "lazy eye" was also proven to be a misdiagnosis. The pink eye may have been real, I'm not sure. But after a week of wearing my glasses instead of my contacts I think I've suffered enough. Winter is no time to be bespectacled. They fog up every time you come in from the cold, and Chicago is COLD. So anyway, to my legions of fans, rest assured; I have been given a clean bill of health.

Halston Heritage has a lot to be excited about with SJP at the helm. I'm so excited about this latest venture into the world of fashion design. I still wear my Bitten "Fashion is Not a Luxury" T-shirt from Steve&Barry. I think she's amazing, and I think she'll have a distinct voice in the brand that will rejuvenate it. And it doesn't hurt that she looks A-MAZ-ING in all the clothes.
