Fabulosity by Corbin Chamberlin

Since its launch in 2003, Teen Vogue has been violently successful. Perhaps it’s been the support and governing shadow from its bigger sister-magazine, Vogue and its editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour. All the same, Teen Vogue has become a critical accompaniment for the chic and fashion-driven teen.

Fox 10’s Emily Graham perfectly defines her style as “East Coast girl meets the desert, with a dash of glam and global influence.” Even with a ultra-demanding job at one of the top news stations in the Valley, Graham perceivers in Prabal Gurung and totes a Hermes Birkin. Graham thinks no one should be without a black tuxedo, pair of grey pumps and a go-to dress in their closet. I collect Graham’s thoughts on style and fashion.

Too often when I go to a local fashion show, I’m shown garbage. Lacking in talent, passion and an obvious need for education. This was not the case when I attended the East Valley Institute of Technology’s annual fashion show last week. I assessed the collections of the second year students. I was in good company as I sat next to Robert Black, Duc Liao, Joy Li and Jill Laine as well as other industry pros who acted as judges during the show. With a mind-blowing runway of about 130 feet and an audience of 680 zealous guests, the 15- to 18-year-old students showed incredible garments.

The network, Plant Green has introduced a new series called Dresscue Me, a show that seems free of televised-gloss, bitchy antics and a seemingly sensible approach to the industry of fashion. Dresscue Me is about the endeavors of vintage-maverick, Shareen Mitchell. Mitchell is owner of Shareen Vintage, a boutique that offers reasonably priced and preowned clothing.The store is a favorite for fashionistas, recessionistas and celebrities alike. Before she was dressing Katy Perry, Cat Deeley and a plethora of other A-listers, Shareen was an actress and partook in roles on Melrose Place, ER and Judging Amy.
