Alexander McQueen gave us an obsess-worthy menswear collection for Fall 2022. Asymmetrical cuts, tailored to perfection, paired with graphic yet painterly prints makes for modern, fashion-forward looks. Our closet would welcome every piece. We are drooling over the yellow and black suit with matching trench, the houndstooth ensemble and the bold red suit. All must-haves.

The Wynwood Art District and its Wynwood Walls have become a regular stop in my visits to Miami. Art lovers and tourists alike will appreciate the burst of talent and creativity flowing through and up the sides of window-less warehouses, bringing them to vibrancy. I've presented a photo gallery in the past, but more recently, we had a chance to "play" with our GoPro and take video. Enjoy this tour through the Wynwood Art District and next time your in Miami, make it a stop during your visit!

If the “great city of New York” was his inspiration then the modern, chic woman was his muse. Dennis Basso always a delivers a refined and polished collection and this season was no exception.
Art reigns in Wynwood Miami. Massive murals dominate the warehouses in this district that attracts large numbers of tourists coming to experience "Wynwood Walls." When I was nineteen, I was clubbing to the new waves beats of Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Smiths at an underground club just blocks away from all of this. Except back then, this, was an area too dangerous to even drive through.
In 2009, a visionary by the name of Tony Goldman viewed the Wynwood warehouse district for its potential of becoming a place to feature graffiti and street artists. He realized his dream and leaves an artful legacy behind.
The
Project Runway All Stars
took to the streets with their host
Carolyn Murphy
for last week's challenge. They learned about graffiti and I learned a new art term: aerosol art. I can't wait to impress all of my snooty, intellectual, politically correct friends with this term ... aerosol art ... look ma I'm pretentious!
The designers were given all the tools they needed including the windiest day in NYC, which they didn't need, to create a
graffiti
aerosol art pattern/print. The Project Runway challenge was to produce a wearable art piece.
Andrae is communicating with the Mother Planet. They're saying "make it work!" and he's replying, "huh?"
Winner and loser, hmmm...
The Bottom 3:
I'm with judge
Georgina Chapman
about there being two dresses here. The top is the beginning of a beautiful and chic outfit and the bottom is a fail, especially with that eyesore of a hemline. To make matters worse (not pictured)
Laura Kathleen
added a trim of piano fringe to the back which was awful. She tried to hard to be different and to be creative. I knew Laura would be safe and I'm glad. Not ready to see her go.
A halter, mermaid gown... so original and innovative... said no one, ever!
Kayne
dear, the judges are beginning to question your taste level.
Suede cut out circles. Suede made a girlie dress. Suede Suede go away...."
Suede
out."
The Top 3:
The most significant advice/criticism from one of the judges was
Ivy's
bad color choice of white for the bottom of the skirt. The guest judge suggested she use a color like red [I thought yellow]. Either one, even orange, would have been a better choice.
This was a smart and sassy look from
Anthony Ryan
. The judges complimented the scale, proportion and wearability. It's a good dress, I like it too, though I hate the pompadour hairdo. It's distracting, dated and overdone. Yet not surprising. Have you noticed the designer's hair style? Yuck.
The clear winner was this creation by
Emilio Sosa
. It was sophisticated and artful. Emilio allowed himself to be inspired by graffiti rather than to try and replicate an art form that he's not a master of and it worked. The only minor issue the judges had was with the belt. They felt it seemed unresolved. No big deal. Easy fix.
