DESIGNER LADIES Diane, Betsy , Vivienne, Sonia

We all read  or look  at fashion magazines  and of course we all know some of the designers
who made it big in Fashion.   From Diane von Furstenberg with her famous WRAP dress,  Betsy Johnson with her colorful fun quirky styles, Vivienne Westwood with the undefined looks  and the French designer Sonia Rykiel the knit Queen from the 60s. started by creating the Poor boy sweater .


She also fashioned clothing with seams on the outside, left hems unfinished and slogans on sweaters. 
Her sweaters were also a favorite of actress Audrey Hepburn.  She was one to  introduce knitwear to fashion runways. with bold colors,patterns and stripes. A style most women can wear and not only that - but is comfortable and stylish. I love sweater dresses and her fashions most anyone can wear.
She recently died but gave the fashion runways a Pop with her fun designs.

Here are some of her fashions  and you can see why it is still around today.

 SOMETHING DIFFERENT  I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui ,  I was in AWE.   Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The  prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top  that I wear as a coverup)  This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS  love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for  summer.

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians  or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises  such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person.

These so called stars  gorgeous , flawless and h
