MA FRANGINE: August 2009

While it's still hot

Known for her chic and feminine style the Spring/Summer 2009 Cloak and Dagger collection is full of must have pieces.

She likes it pure

My favorites pieces by Los Angeles designer Jasmin Shokrian.

Mode pretty

Finding new talented designers is always so exciting, my latest designer crush is Valentine Gauthier from Paris. Soft colors and feminine shapes, love it!

Lena Criveanu has a strong point of view and she tells a story that is at time creepy yet beautiful with her Spring/Summer '09 collection. The shapes of her garments reminds me of Frank Gehry. The top dress is my favorite, I love how it's strong looking yet sexy by showcasing the model's back.

Day one for the strongs

Today is the first day of the semester and all I think about is how excited I am to be back in school learning more about how to create clothes and fantasies. To celebrate my first day back in class I am featuring the 2009 graduation collection of Bianca Speijk.

I wish

I wish I had the cash to spend on this beautiful Marni bag;I would love to use it as my school bag.

Kind of wild circus

The summer '09 Anja Hynynen collection reminds me of the circus and chilly days in the Fall.

Stone wash

I love these soaps by Auto they look just like semi-precious stones, great for a guest bathroom.

Ma Frangine hearts Readymade mag

I just love these to (RE)Fashion featured in the August/September issue of Readymade. The dress is by Melissa Cooker (Wren) and the paint-splattered pants are by Mary Ping (Slow and Steady Wins the Race).
