Movie Madness!

You know what's awesome? Netflix

You know what is even more awesome? Netflix Instant movies that play right through your computer

You know what is even more awesome than that? Netflix suggesting you check out the documentary entitled "Seamless"

Seamless is a film that follows three designers/design houses (Proenza Schouler, Cloak, Doo.Ri) trying to make it in the fashion industry. The difference here is that all three of these designers are already well known names vying for the CFDA/ Vogue fashion fund that help catapult their lines and help these designers survive with an award of 200,000 dollars.

Overall, this movie is a great look at the business side of the industry. For those of you who want to design, this film will give you a good idea of how important it is to remember that your name is also a business, and a great business mind will get you just as far as a great design mind.

Our favorite designers on the documentary were the fluffy but loveable team of Proenza Schouler. You will remember them from their TARGET: GO INTERNATIONAL collection.

Here are some of their amazing designs. We love Proenza Schouler because they are another great example of two young industry people who made a success for themselves! Not to mention they are totally adorable. 

Things We Love: Summer!

We suppose summer has officially been here for awhile, but now it finally feels like it. Time to show off your way too pale legs and gear up for the year's first sun burn.

Things that we love about summer:

• Pink Lemonade
• Sun Dresses
• Baseball
• BBQ's
• The Beach!
  

Also, the Beach Boys always sound better when its warm out...

People You Should Know: Sommer Terry

Fashion would not be possible without the outlandish minds of costumers. We take ideas every day from costumes we see whether it be in the movies, or couture runway shows with garments that would never be practical for real life.

Sommer Terry, a native of Texas, attended Columbia College Chicago where she studied fashion retail management. The school's costuming program in L.A. catapulted her career in L.A.'s fast lane. Before Sommer knew where her journey was taking her, she found herself on the sets of movies like Bob Funk, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, and Dance Flick. However, it's her assistance on Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland that looks like her golden ticket to a magical land of outrageous costumes and blockbuster films, and awards a plenty for these beautiful characters. 

We love people like Sommer - at only 24 she has already gained great success in a field that she loves. We can't wait to see more of her costuming and styling on the big screen. Sommer is a great inspiration for those of you who are looking to find realistic ways to break in to the fashion industry.

Pink Slip’s (not so) Guilty Pleasures:

ANTMM- America’s Next Model Marathons- there is nothing better than curling up on the couch to find your dreams have come true and ANTMM is on! We can’t get enough- maybe it is because Tyra is so wise and shares her personal experiences in every challenge, photo shoot, judging panel, and basically any opportunity she has! Obviously our favorite episodes are the Cover Girl commercial photo shoots- and if you tell us you never practiced the Wet Lips Lip Gloss commercial we know either A) you are a liar or B) you haven’t lived! As Tyra would say “Girls want to be that and guys want to be with that” we LOVE it!
