Bedwin and The Heartbreakers x Beauty and Youth x UNDFTD x adidas Originals Superstar

Az adidas Originals megint maradandót alkotott, mondhatni kikerült megint egy prémium, ultra limitált Superstar kék modell, melye a Bedwin & The Heartbreakers, a Beauty & Youth, és az UNDFTD neve fémjelez.

As a follow-up to last season’s success, B.B.U. Collection, a creative partnership between by Bedwin & The Heartbreakers, Beauty & Youth and UNDFTD, have elected adidas Originals as the base for the line’s footwear addition. With the vintage silhouette of adidas Originals Superstar, an ideal compliment to the apparel collection was formed. With its navy upper in canvas, an off-white outsole and shell toe simulate an impression of sun burnt rubber commonly found on vintage sneakers.

Blog Update: Busy. Busy. Busy.

And it's about to get a lot busier. It's Tuesday night and I've already been swamped at work- outta control stuff to do. Teaching classes, registering students, developing new curriculum, preparing new classes for next quarter, research, and answering about a billion emails. (And yes, I still maintain that I have the coolest job ever.) But seriously, this week is about to take off. My new Doctorate class started today, so instead of spending hours on WGSN researching macro trends for spring/summer 2013 and marketing trends for luxury retailers, I'm reading the first two chapters of Fundamentals of Organizational Communication: Knowledge, Sensitivity, Skills, and Values and about to write a 5-page paper on organizational communication systems within higher education institutions. Jealous? 

Even though I have class BOTH Saturday and Sunday from 9 to 5, I am getting ridiculously excited for my upcoming nights, with fashion events for the rest of the week. Don't forget to attend this year's Naked Without Us  fashion and rock festival featuring local designers and musicians. I'll be there Wednesday through Saturday, so come say hi! Buy me a Diet Coke. Let's chat! Additionally, I'll be at the O'More College fashion show on Thursday evening, covering the talents of Nashville fashion design students. Seriously looking forward to that one. And be sure to check back at Nashville Fashion Blog throughout the week for photo and event updates.

Ok... now back to the books...

Fashion + Gum= ORBIT!!!

Quieres Chicle? Miss Universe 2009 Stefania Fernandez in Nick Verreos /Orbit Gum Gown, People En Español 50 Más Bellos Event

I am SO EXCITED to announce that I am the "Style Guy" for "Chicle Orbit"--the most stylish gum in the WORLD!!!!! And as part of this, Orbit announced a fun contest for the Spanish-speaking fans called "Geek To Chic".

Those who entered this contest (by submitting photos) now have the chance to have their look "transformed" from Geek--to CHIC--by none other than, ME!!! Si, YO!!! (yes, I'm so Bi-lingual!) and then showcase your new look FABULOSO on the People En Español 50 Más Bellos/50 Most Beautiful Red Carpet coming up next week!!!

Orbit Universal Queen: Stefania Fernandez, Miss Universe 2009 in Orbit Gum-print inspired gown by Nick Verreos, People Magazine En Español "50 Más Bellos" Event, NYC

If you have been following my blog, you may already know that I have partnered in the last few years with ORBIT GUM--to design "Red Carpet-worthy" dresses for the Latina Orbit Gum Girl, "Chica Orbit", as well as other celebs. Last year, I made a custom one-shoulder gown for Stefania Fernandez, Miss Venezuela 2008 and Miss Universe 2009, using an Orbit Gum print for last year's People Magazine En Español 50 Más Bellos/50 Most Beautiful Gala.


Above is my original sketch for the one shoulder gown I created and designed (and had the fabric made too!!!).

Now That's A Purse: Nick Verreos, Chica Orbit and Univision's "Fashion Guy" Rodner Figueroa, Premios Juventud 2010 After Party, Miami

I also designed a cocktail red carpet dress for the current Chica Orbit--using the same Orbit Gum Print--for her to wear during the 2010 Premios Juventud an awards show for Spanish-speaking celebrities in the areas of film, music, sports, fashion, and pop culture--kind of like a cross between the MTV Music Awards and the "Kid's Choice Awards".

In 2007 for that year's "Premios Juventud"--along with the AMAZING assistance of my NIKOLAKI design partner, David Paul--we created an ivory silk duchess satin "Watteau-back" strapless dress--with custom "Orbit Gum" pillbox hat (very Jackie Kennedy!)-both featuring the Orbit Logo. We even made the scarf to watch one of the gum flavors!

Well, CHICOS, I am back at it again---and soon I will be in New York City to attend the People En Español 50 Más Bellos/Most Beautiful Event and transform one lucky winner from Geek to Chic!!!
(and now for my Spanish-speaking Readers): Buena Suerte y acuerdate: Orbit Sensación Limpia...no matter what!
