When We Left Earth featuring La Crasia
It was during the sixties that modernism trumped decadence. The ornate was discarded for the aesthetic of function and pre-fab manufacturing techniques made modernism's proliferation spread from block to block, until the American collective memory made it seem that every house was exactly like Kevin Arnold's home during his 'Wonder Years.. more...

The BUZZ
An Androids Tale :: I Dream the Dream of Love featuring La Crasia
When Hampton Fancher set out to write 'Blade Runner' he wanted to cross-pollinate strains of forties Film Noir with the science fiction canon of the early eighties (which was about to come into existence). 'Blade Runner' is both about the future and the past, specifically, about evolutionary and technological change in relation to memory. Rachael (Sean Young) exists in the undoubtedly turbulent intersection of these themes; aesthetically, she represents them.
Costume Designers Charles Knode and Michael Kaplan (under the direction of Ridley Scott), set to 'mix... the style of yesteryear with a look toward tomorrow.' Fine Arts Writer Francesca Myman wrote of Rachael's wardrobe ::
'Shoulder padding, stark straight lines, and lacquered hair make her proportions too perfect and slightly extreme. At the same time, they evoke... historicity... her clothing is closely based on a forties Film Noir model, and it evokes a sense of nostalgia... Her clothing instantaneously places her in relationship to history -- she is not purely modern, instead, she is classic.' more...

Geek Chic featuring La Crasia
Carmen Marc Valvo, a New York-raised designer, dipped his toe into nerd-chic in his Fall 2008 runway show when he sent 'BUtterfield 8' inspired dual-satin gowns down the runway with 'Revenge of the Nerds' glasses. And boy did we notice. The juxtaposition of Buddy Holly specs with his red carpet classic Hollywood design fused fashion classicism with the look of unorthodox intellectualism. more...

Peter Soronen Designer Profile featuring La Crasia
You don't have to be a Fashion Editor to figure out that Peter Soronen's designs have their origin in corsetry. After making made-to-order evening and wedding gowns in Chicago and then New York City, Peter's collection made its runway debut in 2007, the thread through each of his garment evolutions being the aesthetic of Elizabethan Louis XIV, the Victorian era and the '50s (which are all eras when the corset was visible in outerwear.) He made the jump from runway into Barney's fairly quickly with star power like Sarah Jessica Parker behind him. (Hey, if you're going to play the celeb game, it's good to have someone with personal style rather than that more...

Sacrifice featuring La Crasia
Today's designers are creating garments that provoke us to compare current fashion with that of WWII. Do our reasons for fighting against the Axis Powers compare to our reasons for engaging in combat in Iraq? Consequently, are the sacrifices willing to be made then comparable to those we are willing to make now? more...

Posh & Gloss featuring La Crasia
The Twenties have often been cited as the era of inception of today's popular culture. Perhaps it is why we stubbornly continue to reference the style of the times. Or perhaps it's our identification with the roaring age that was "...anxious to enjoy itself, anxious to forget the past, anxious to ignore the future."* No matter, the reason, Gilded romanticism never seems to fade, and today's fashion designers continue to modernize its essence with garments that allow us to reflect our own light in big or small ways. more...
