Show Me Your Closet

I have always LOVED Issey Miyake's work. His sense of style, use of colors in his designs, and that also goes for the models on his runway!   I believe he does go up to an XL in his designs, at least in the Vintage Issey Miyake's he has.  Hmm, something to check out. In the mean time, check out his fashion show on the runway entitled, Issey Miyake - The Story Of   on You Tube's Fashion TV. or click on this link: Issey Miyake - The Story Of   Let me know what you think!

This has absolutely nothing to do with being a curvy diva ! At least, not in body size!  However, as a fashionably conscious curvy diva I do love great style!  Throw in a little dramatic effect and what's not to love?! What am I going on about you might be wondering? Well, I was doing one of my favorite things, perusing the Intraweb and came across Zimbio.com.  They featured Japan Couture 2012 Singapore. The fashion designs featured were elegant and dramatic. I could see these on anyone!
