Alix, of The Cherry Blossom Girl blog, took these glamorous photos from the Sonia Rykiel show. In her post she mentioned bloggers have been getting plenty of attention these last few seasons as well as the best seats in the house. And that is true, for an example Rumi of Fashion Toast has been seen at everywhere from Herve Leger to Alexander McQueen’s show. Even the young Stylish Wanderer is being invited to all the legendary designer shows, I must admit I’m a bit jealous. But Anna Wintour’s advice is "you can't just assume that since you can become popular fashion wise on the internet or on a reality TV show that you can do well in the real fashion world." This means to me, that all the ego boosting you wonderful commenters do for me must not go to my head. Everyone and their mother wants to work for a high fashion magazine, but not everyone can make the cut. So, I will just have to work harder than rest till I make it.    Talking about getting advice from Anna Wintour, TeenVogue has issued a handbook on how to make a spot for yourself in the fashion industry. Of the sneak peak I have seen so far, it’s brilliant, full of glossy images and interviews from some of the most prestigious faces in fashion. Some people are: Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, and Jourdan Dunn. Can't wait to get my copy!    Anyways, I’ll stop talking about my fashion ambitions and talk more about the actual fashion. Doesn’t this show look extraordinary? The glitter, lingerie influences, colourful pieces, and the models joyous expressions just sew the whole thing together. I am ashamed that I have never really considered Sonia Rykiel as one of the top ten designers, but I definitely think so now.    There’s tons of energy and pronounced attitude in this clothing, it makes me feel like I just want to get up to dance and run around in oversized heels listening to Rick James while nibbling on pink cotton candy. That sounds like a wildly appealing thing to do! Maybe I can see if I can arrange such a happening…but I must go now, it’s my mums birthday (as well as John Lennon and his son Sean Lennon’s birthday coincidently). Have glamorous weekend! CommentsUlli Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:02:53 Rick james and cotton candy..why not? Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:04:30 A. Sonia Rykiel is my favorite design house. Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:05:15 A. I love Sonia rykiel, favorite fashion house. Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:06:36 Nicole, sorry I am not sure how much longer I will keep the giveaway will be up, probably another week. Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:09:38 This show does seem energetic and youthful, dancing seems like a great idea, but why in oversized heels? Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:12:00 The fashion industry is the hardest to get into, but i wish you luck, I never made it. You seem better cut out for the job then me. Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:13:42 I knew it was John Lennons birthday today but not his son too, that is bazar. Love him, tell your mom happy birthday! Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:15:50 I think all the beatles freaks in this world must start a commune, it would be love all the way...don't you think? Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:17:38 Actually, while that sounds promising it could be totally disastrous. My beatles freak friend and i always get into rows about which is the best beatle, and our friends have to seperate us. :) Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:18:35 I could see how that could be problematic, by the way my favorite Beatle is Paul! Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:23:35 My favorite picture is the second to last one with all the models smileing in a semi-creepy way. Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:26:51 One day with great persistance you will sit in those chairs and judge with a skeptical eye. Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:28:15 To start with anna wintour doesn't know everything because bloggers really are taking over, she is just a snobby well paid well perserved old lady who isn't ready for the youth. Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:29:41 Was that a clear rain jacket? That is so handy you can still see the outfit and be protected! Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:32:32 Models look creepy laughing because they are so thin, you can see their veins throbbing, kind of like that image of madonnas arms, I bet i just turned you off that photo - sorry. Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:37:45 If that happening you are thinking of having works out be sure to invite me, sounds like crazy fun!!! Melina Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:39:56 French girly really capture the essence of friviolity! Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:42:03 Thats so cool your mum shares the same bday as john lennon, she is so lucky! Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:44:57 You will make it in the fashion world, i just have a feeling you will. I'll continue to ego boost you to the top! Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:46:36 Like Natalie I just think you have what it takes to make it to the top, nut go ahead and read the vogue handbook. Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:51:07 I myself don't understand how rumi so poular she isn't that good of a dresser, but maybe somebody can explain this to me. She is incredibly thin and unnatractive and so is her style. From what i have seen of you and your clothes you look fanastic, skinny yet not too skinny, you will go farther than her. Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:00:07 I wish that when i walked down a street glitter rained down on me. Viola Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:04:51 Everyone can find a place in the fashion world, we just need to search for it! And i agree Viola Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:05:07 S Viola Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:05:36 O Viola Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:05:51 N Viola Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:06:06 I Viola Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:06:18 A Viola Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:06:31 R Viola Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:06:43 Y Viola Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:07:09 K Viola Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:07:20 K.

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:10:51 I don't know about oversized heels i would probably fall but cotton candy sounds yummy! nadia Fri, 09 Oct 2009 22:50:30 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 22:52:01 oops i made a mistake on my last comment .. Fri, 09 Oct 2009 23:39:16 if fashion is where ur heart is, if you couple it with hard work and prayer, and if you believe in it, you will surely get your turn girl. just be patient and keep up the good work. hugs :) Sat, 10 Oct 2009 07:16:20 Totally gorgeous photos by Alix ~ wow! These are even better than the ones on style.com! Sat, 10 Oct 2009 08:51:37 These photographs are splendrous! I absolutely adore the ones of just their feet, they seem to be dancing and moving underneath a disco ball - at least in my imagination. Alix is an amazing photographer! Sat, 10 Oct 2009 09:30:08 Love these pics! Now you got that song in my head, lol =) Kiera Sat, 10 Oct 2009 11:48:52 Shes a SUPERFREAK a super FREAK! Kiera Sat, 10 Oct 2009 11:49:25 Shes a SUPER FREAK a super FREAK! Sat, 10 Oct 2009 23:04:59 it's funny because blogging was created to keep the 'voice' democratic and i have a feeling we're definitely on our way to turning it into just another tight-knit impossible-to-get-in society. not that i'm saying it's a bad tihng....that's just the way things go i guess, hey? Sun, 11 Oct 2009 04:51:02 I'm sure it's only a matter of time before you get to go to such things, but I agree about not letting things go to your head. You have the right kind of attitude. I love Sonia Rykiel's shows, all the models seem to come alive and have so much fun, guess I'm jealous about not attending, but I hear that Paris fashion shows are easier to get into than London, so I may try next year. Sun, 11 Oct 2009 05:24:33 I have always loved Sonia... it started with the stripes, then I discovered the rest. And I hear you on the "jealousy" thing - I would feel exactly the same. Sun, 11 Oct 2009 07:17:56 I'm a little jealous too, it's okay. But, I think that you'd be really successful as a fashion journalist! And I'm not just saying that, you're really talented! Bon chance :) (Good luck!) Sun, 11 Oct 2009 11:55:16 that's true! i've read that bloggers are the newest celebrity nowadays. fabulous collections anyway. Sun, 11 Oct 2009 14:41:44 All those bloggers pale in comparison to Tavi (style rookie) who's on the cover of Pop magazine and inspired the Rodarte collection. She's amazing and just turned 13 (12 when she started). Sun, 11 Oct 2009 19:45:23 I know i'm so jealous as well. Working in the fashion industry seems like such a dream. I hope you make it! And I hope I make it! teehee. happy birthday to your mom. and I love this collection! great use of color. Ozanka Sun, 11 Oct 2009 20:45:56 I love how all of the models look so happy it gives it such a great happy vibe! Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:33:11 Oh I love how the models look like they're having loads of fun. It looks like a glamourous little party! Ooh I saw the preview of Anna Wintours advice thing. It looks very interesting Mon, 12 Oct 2009 20:04:12 you have a fabulous attitude regarding your future career. definitely on the right track. Leave a Reply | Author:Musings of a teenager wannabe journalist. One of those people who goes to a party and everyones like were we suppose to dress up?
