Hello Fellow Junkies, we're excited to celebrate our first year of hosting this podcast. Like we said, this was a long time coming, from joking around about doing this podcast to actually coming together and doing it. Now a year later, we're still going at and getting more comfortable as well. We're doing our best in bringing you great things that you might have missed in the media and some different point perspective.This episode we discuss Louis Vuitton's Menswear division pulling anything and everything relating to Michael Jackson in the midst of the HBO documentary scandal. Which is interesting because their LV F/W19 collection was in many ways an homage to the late entertainer. We move to Fashion and the disable and their lack of apparel targetted to them. We discuss the fashion part of the latest College Entrance scandal in US history and the effects it has on fashion. We close with a lengthy conversation about the relaunch of the Baby Phat brand.Fashion Junkies!!Listen HereSubscribe through iTunes

This is Gustavo, writing this podcasts summary. I felt the need to write this as an homage to the truly last Emporer of French Fashion. As you all know, Karl Lagerfeld passed away about a week or so ago, and with that comes the end of a tremendous legacy, an innovative designer, and lastly perhaps the last FASHION designer ever left. Obviously, not discrediting any of the currently established designers but Karl Lagerfeld was on his league of his own. Over 50 years as a designer and an extensive resume, that Lagerfeld shaped the fashion world of the 20th and 21st century. Helming the French Houses of Chanel, Chloé, Fendi and his own. He truly understood the demands of the clientele.I can say with all honesty that the Chanel Haute Couture and Martier's d'Art shows were the most inspiring. Lagerfeld really pushed the envelope for the brand, always finding new ways to reinterpret the houses DNA. Showing us new ways to wear tweed, the combination of black and white, and the many ways to accessorize jewelry. A big Bravo! to the production team. They have turned the Grand Palais into many amazing production sets that were well paired with each collection. Which was your favorite? The Chanel Grocery Store? Versailles Gardens? The inside of a casino? Passitirere? the iceberg? or the feeling of sitting under the Eiffel Tower? Whichever it is, they are surely embedded in our minds.But for the rest of us that never truly met him and only know of him through videos, print and social media, we have his legacy to inspire us for the next 50 years. Lagerfeld would have wanted the current fashion designers to keep looking forward, and that is what we will do.Fashion Junkies!!ListenSubscribe to iTunes

Hello Fellow Fashion Junkies!! Gustavo & Martina are back with an amazing episode after taking a break and the Holiday season around the corner. I am sure they're coming up with something to fill in the gaps. This episode was recorded 48 hours before the big election of November 6 in the USofA. They discuss fashion's latest trend of political merchandise. If there's something fashion teaches us is that trends are all about the "right merchandise at the right time".

As we're putting this post together, we hear the news that Aretha Franklin has passed away. The Queen of Soul has gone to heaven to sit on her rightful throne. Franklin has left us an amazing legacy, a voice for the generations, a civil rights activist that broke global boundaries.I think this post is appropriate as we the Fashion Junkies have a conversation about Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2018. Martia discusses the amazing creations of Ralph & Russo, Ellie Saab's structured and traditional, Chanel's edgy, baroque and new young Hollywood silhouettes, and finally, Dolce and Gabbana's Alta Moda in Lake Cuomo. Gustavo discusses the return of traditional feminity at Christian Dior, new couture techniques at Fendi's more than fur show, and a simple, elegant yet futuristic homage tribute to Hubert de Givenchy by Clare Waight Keller.We also discuss Air Jordans designed by Vogue's Anna Wintour, Burberry torching $36 millions of dollars, and Randa Accessories biding for the Perry Ellis brand.Hit Play!Subscribe to iTunesRemember to Subscribe.

Gustavo & Martina took a quick break from what seemed an intense week for fashion and the culinary world. The passing of both icons brings them together to discuss a mental illness that seems to be claiming lives more than automobile accidents. On a lighter note, the podcasters discuss the CFDA Awards and the red carpet. Just hit the play button for the full interviewListen and subscribe via iTunes As always, below are the visuals that go along with our podcast.Loved Hamish Bowles look! The fit on this suit was top notch! The lines created a stripe that made him look much thinner! These stripes created an optical illusion that drew my eye in that made me move from section to section with my eyes. They kept my attention while looking at it. Kourtney Khardashian in Christian Siriano. Loved this look as it kept in line with our current state of empowering women to be forces of nature. This look is slick and flattering but still feminine and delicate. The detailing of the stones on this pantsuit makes the statement considering it is a very simple look that she had on. Thought the accessorizing was done tastefully as well as hair and make-up.Emiily Rataikowski in Brock Collection. I personally enjoyed the structure of this garment. I felt like it collaborated the structure of a masculine garment but yet was feminine with the silhouette of a dress and the floral applique. I also think that Midi length gowns are extremely difficult to execute and she has a tall slender frame that this completely works for her. The fact that the top half and bottom half are two different looks makes them look like a separates which is also great because it is a look that can be dressed up or dressed down. Martha Hunt in Thome Browne. Loved this look in particular because it marries the structured tailored looks that Thom Browne is known for but yet looks delicate and feminine. To me this is also very artistic and that is what fashion is about; art that we wear. The boning in the gown creates the structure and visual interest. The train she is holding in her hand that is attached to the dress also adds to the drama in the gown and gives the eye another thing to look at. I will say it is very visually appealing because there is a natural progression that the eye goes through meaning that it starts at the top and works its’ way down and you stop to look at every detail.Linda Fargo in Oscar de la Renta. Linda Fargo is probably my favorite look of all the looks I personally saw at the CFDA awards. The womenswear director of BG wore a traditional polka dot that most people think is a juvenile print but was worn in an elegant way. This print is one that I believe most people tend to shy away from because it makes you stand out in a crowd. But Fargo does this in a way that is tastefully done. It’s a fairly simple silhouette with the fabric being the star of this show. Bravo to her in not taking fashion so seriously. Tracee Ellis Ross in Carolina Herrera. Gustavo loves this dress for the pure fact that is ultra feminine. From the cascading silk layes of different shades of pink to the bold black strap. It stood our more than others. Naomi Campbell in Calvin Klien. What is there to say about the most Iconic model infringe? Absolutely nothing. There is nothing Naomi cannot wear and not make it work. I love the bold red and the fact that is modern but it reminds me of a 20's flapper dress. Amazing.Cate Blanchette in Monse was the cool chic at the party. The one that goes against the dress code but knows she looks cool. I love this black ensemble with the pop of glittered silver. Upon more research, I discovered that an apron type skirt is layered over the silver skirt as given it an illusion of a topsy-turvy layer. I think this worked great for an event that salutes designer creativity. As Always. LIKE. COMMENT. SUBSCRIBE.Follow our social media:IG: @fashionjunkiespodcast2Twitter: @fashionjunkies2
