This is a great site for current fashion designer news. It's full of runway models and the lastest creations.

Saturday

Noon-ish:
Went to Allure on Location event in Bel Air for Clothes Off Our Back. The place was packed, but amid the beauty, health, and clothing venues…was Charles David. They had set up a booth to show their new Fall/Winter 06 Collection. They had tones of heels in great rich colors, boots, and day shoes. Sadly, they had nothing for men. If you have a Charles David near by, I say go by and buy! read more...

I’ve been working day in and day out. As a fashion stylist in LA this happens. I’ve been working non stop. After pulling more shoes this past week I think I’ve it my limit. I pulled them all Jimmy, Hype, Kenneth, Kors, it just goes on and on and on.

Now fashion week in less then 2 weeks here in LA. I’m going to almost every show and party. But before I can have my fun, I need to find a great pair of shoes for me. Yes, ladies…I to need some sole love. I will be going to where any footwear lover goes…Rodeo Dr. I told myself that since I’ve been a good this past month I could buy 3 shoes. So I’m going to Gucci, Sergio Rossi, and NM. read more...

As a stylist here in LA, I get my fair share of invites to events. From fashion shows, parties, private trunk shows, meet & greets, it’s always fun getting the mail! One that recently caught my eye was for a store opening: Footcandy! Located in posh Brentwood, it’s just seconds away from Brentwood Gardens, one of the best shopping centers in LA! I had to check them out...

This past week, in the mist of the craziness of my life, one of my really good friends asked me if I could help her out. I called her back, 6 hours later, and asked her, "So what’s going on?" She went on to tell me how she was going out with some new guy and blah blah blah blah. The kicker in this was that she had no idea what to wear on their first date. Now, she knows that there is nothing I wouldn’t do for her. She told me that she had a few days, but no time to shop for anything because of her work load.

I’m thinking, sure why not! After all, I only have two shoots coming up, a mountain of paper work, 3 parties I have to go to, an interview that’s been pushed back more times then even I can count, and I’ve yet to sit down and see this week’s installment of Project Runway! Now, before I could think of a way to kind of get out of it she says, "Don’t forget shoes! I know I always say: no shoes. So go crazy! Get me what I know you know I want, but don’t know it yet!" read more...

Okay so... I was wondering what to blog about this week when I ran across the picture at the left. I mean, I think I stared at it for a good ten minutes before I finally moved on to what I was actually doing.

I saw it on Yahoo. Apparently, this is a creation by Japanese designer Kazuo Takashima for the 2007 Spring & Summer Tokyo Collection. I'm not sure if I would be tooting around town in something like this, but it is rather unusual. Isn't it?

It got me to thinking... why would you want to wear a shoe on your head anyway? I mean, I guess if it was a Manolo or something...then, maybe. But not this. It's kinda tacky, don't you think? Of course, it doesn't help that her eyeliner is running all over the place. You'd think she could get it together instead of looking like a football player about to head to the line of scrimage. Blue 23! Blue 23! Hut! Hut! read more...

My name is Edgar Revilla, I’m a Fashion Stylist and I have a love for great luxury shoes. The French have given us Dior, Chanel, and Christian Lacroix. The Italians have flashed us with Prada, Gucci, and Versace. While the English released on to us, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, and of course, Manolo Blahnik. Here in the “Good old U S of A” we have Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, and Stuart Weitzman.

Every season designers come out with their best foot-wear forward. Sometimes they make me long for a small shoe size. While at the other end of my emotional spectrum, I can only look in horror while they crash and burn. Always saying on top of the fashion world is just part of my day to day routine. Seeing what walks down the runway or what shines at the suits during awards season is also fun... read more...
