Dress like you might run into your worst ENEMY


Dress like you might run into your worst enemy.

Everyone needs style: and by style I don’t mean thinking you’re stylish because other people like what you what you’re wearing*** HELL, they may not like it. But if you to want to start getting recognition as an individual, you have to establish yourself, and amazing personal style is a great way of telling people who you are and what you’re about. Whatever you are – designer,artist,lawyer-amazing clothes say I am hot, I feel great, my fashion brand is what it is, my necklace collection is what it is, I am the best deejay, you want my music at your party, here take my card, call me…. No matter what you’re trying to achieve, style is one of the most powerful ways of branding yourself and as I’ve said before, branding is what a great businessperson is all about. You only have a moment to make an impression these days, and believe me, your personal appearance is going to do a lot of the talking. Is like being on a debate team-here’s your ten seconds to say what you gotta say.

Amazing clothes make you feel hot, and when you feel hot, you feel confident; you’re on fire, you rule the world**** If you want to get anywhere in life, you have to feel good about what you’re wearing even if other people don’t like it****-YOU have to like it. Clothes aren’t something to hide behind, but they are an extra layer of armor that help you create the image of yourself you want to be judged on. And sometimes if you need a boost of courage, they help get you going with your head held high.

The five point fashion Manifesto*

1. STYLE IS A FORM OF SELF-PROMOTION

2. DEVELOPING A STYLE IS LIKE YOUR BRANDMARK; it’ll let you noticed and remembered

3. FASHION BETOWS AUTHORITY AND POWER ON THE WEARER: DRESS TO IMPRESS, AND YOU WILL BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

4.GREAT STYLE SAYS” HERE I AM” I VALUE MYSELF ENOUGH TO PUT EFFORT INTO THIS, AND YOU SHOULD TOO.

5.STYLE IS INDIVIDUAL. STYLE IS SUBJECTIVE. NOBODY CAN GRADE YOU ON IT.


In this industry you have to be like this or be like that, cause if not, you gonna be picked apart, and once you get too big, they're gonna tear you down. But you can't lose respect for your individuality no matter what anybody says"

UPDATES BY K.V OCTOBER 2012


Hello Beautiful people,

I’ve been running around everywhere and haven’t been able to give any updates.,

In this rainy day in PTY (Panama city) in between sketches and making jewelry

I’ve decided to take a moment and write to all of you a little fashion note.

I am very excited this end of the year and the upcoming one 2013. I have seen many different trends and a lot of accessories that are essential in every way.

 The moment you put together an outfit it can be as simple as you want and yet you can boost that image with accessories  Including “HATS”(that is where I come in) Been doing designs and making by hand some of my creations and I just love the fact that more and more people are showing their “Persona” (Personage) J’ADORE.

I believe people who wear hats usually have a strong personality. Why is that? Is it because most of the population don’t really wear them because you feel looked at as you walk on the sidewalk or the mall, street etc, or because yet still we are minority using and exploring our limits in fashion.

I am glad to say that things are changing and those Glamorous hats of all kind of shapes are back and 2013 is coming full of bright colors, flowery Glam and a lot of accessories that I just cannot wait.

Accessory philosophy

The way you accessorize your outfits says a lot about you and can be a very good stand-in for owning any major designer pieces at all.

Your shoes, your belt, your jewelery, or your cute little” Hat “ are like little telegraphs to the world about your attention to detail and what kind of style you identify with.

Accessories can be deeply Luxurious and expensive, but they can also be fabulous on a budget.

The rule: If it’s expensive, go for classic, not the flavor of the month, so you can use it for years.

If is not expensive go for a super trendy eye-catching piece ;).

I wear my accessories big. I am not a waify girl ;) lol…

Bags:

The absolute easiest way to add flair to your look. If you prefer to wear jeans and black sweaters, a bright-colored bag can completely elevate your look.

Building a wardrobe:

Push the boundaries of “good taste “with something only you would have. I confess, one of the new purchases I want to get it’s Judith Lieber bags. They’re super elaborated, rhinestones-encrusted evening clutches in whimsical shapes –like a coke can, a lifesaver roll or a chubby pink pig. Anyone in serious fashion rolls their eyes at them. They’re like Liberace of evening bags, which is exactly why I love them*

I think every woman should rock something she loves almost because its unconventional –life is too short to always stay in the safety zone.

BE DIFFERENT, BE ECCENTRIC, BE ONE OF A KIND******* WITH LOVE KARINA VALDES. (K.VALDES)
