His current studio is situated in a former church hall. Over the years many of Olaf's work have provoked controversy. Not surprisingly, this ability to attract attention has seen his work embraced by the advertising world, resulting in commercials for Lavazza, BMW, Microsoft and Nintendo among many others. Lately Erwin is frequently shooting in commission for magazines such as The New York Times Magazine, The Sunday Times Magazine, Elle and Citizen K.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">In 1999 his worldwide campaign for Diesel Jeans won him the coveted Silver Lion at the Festival for Advertising in Cannes. He was awarded the same prize two years later for his imagery produced for Heineken. Among numerous other international art and media prizes, in 2006 he was awarded Photographer of the Year in the International Color Awards. In 2007 Kunstbeeld magazine chose him Artist of the Year of the Netherlands. Recently he received a Lucie Award for his entire oeuvre.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>(Biography courtesy of </em></span><a href="http://www.erwinolaf.com/"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-small;"><strong><em>www.erwinolaf.com</em></strong></span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>)</em></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

No matter what your taste, with these seasons’ collections of unique bags, I’m sure you can find something that suits your style and your wallet. We may not agree on the taste or style of these designer handbags, but which ever “Bag Lady” category may you fall into, the only thing that matters is if you love what you wear. It would be a boring world if we all had the same exact taste, right? I am a Statement/edgy/Hobo Handbag kind of girl, but I do love the classic design of the Chanel bag. I am not sure what that says about me, but it’s my style and I am sticking to it…that is until the next season. lol </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Grace Jones is absolutely stunning! As muse to Andy Warhol, Grace Jones took the New York modeling and fashion world by storm in the 1970’s. To be honest I had never heard of her until my mother mentioned that Lady Gaga's fashion style had a resemblance to the way grace Jones dressed back in the day. This comparison sparked my interest, and I decided to do some research on Miss Jones. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I guess it can be said that she was the "Gaga" of the 70's and 80', but I think she was more than that. Miss Jones was definitely before her time, with her androgynous look, her outrageous over the top sultry outfits and her "flat top" hair cut. I was surprised to find out, that she played a villain/lover role in the Bond movie <em>A View to Kill</em>...yes...before Hally Berry was a bond girl! This Jamaica born supermodel also topped the Billboard charts with singles from several albums; she won an MTV Video Award for best female video, and starred in numerous movies. Grace Jones is a fashion legend in her own right! If you take a look at her photos, you will understand why.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">If fashion could be defined by one word, that word would be “liberating.” The New Hippie look is definitely a testament to the liberal style in which we all express ourselves today by wearing what makes us feel good. Although this style is no longer a fashion statement of rebellion, it does continue to maintain the ideal behind the freedom of outward expression. The New Hippie style is definitely on the polar side of formal wear, however it can be dressed up or down, depending on what accessories is pair with it.<br />

Talk about hip, chic and trendy, the Bui collection has it all! I remember living in New York, as a child, and wearing a cute little full length shearling coat that my mom bought me for the winter weather. Now that Barbara Bui has reinvented the style of this classic winter coat, I can now enjoy wearing it again!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Just take a look at the tailoring; the detailing and the splashes of color that went into making these gorgeous animal skin ensembles.

Well, Barbara Bui has done that for you too! The boots in this collection are to die for. I can’t wait to put my feet into the stiletto Hiking Boots. I don’t know how much hiking I will be doing in these boots, but I do know that I will be getting a lot of mileage out of them by wearing them on my shopping expeditions, and during my boutique hopping excursions, as well as partaking in mall explorations.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today, I received an email from a reader who lost his sister last year to a senseless accident in the UAE, asking me to inform my readers/follower about his petition to remove something as simple as a U-turn sign, which can save lives. Although I focus on fashion, I do have an obligation to my readers to listen to their ideas, opinions or what ever they feel is important. I believe this subject should be addressed, and it is appropriate for me to inform all of you about the dangers on the roads that kill innocent people─ traffic accidents being one of the main causes of death in the United Arab Emirates.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is what happened: Suraya was on her way to the last day of class at her University, when a driver made an illegal U-turn resulting in the death of this young and beautiful aspiring fashion designer. Shockingly enough, this was not the first time that someone had been killed at the same intersection for the same reason.The crash could have been prevented by blocking the lanes which could prevent these reckless drivers from jeopardize the lives of many other innocent people. Thus, a petition was created to close down the u-turn on E11 in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. <br />

I chose this pictorial composition to bring on an enlightened emotion to the subject at hand. Although the photos are shockingly beautiful, the reality of a senseless death caused by reckless driving and/or drivers is not!<br />

I previously saw her perform on New Years Eve in Dubai, but it was nothing like this! The stadium was packed and everyone had on their dancing shoes! We were offered a chance to move right in the front of the stage, but we opted not to go there, and thank goodness...people were fighting and pushing like crazy! Other than that, the Rihanna Concert in Paris was fabulous! She looked trendy in all of her costume changes; the stage production was out of this world...and the music...wow! What else is there to say?...It was Rihanna in all her glory!</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

When Lady Gaga dresses like that, her style is considered avant-garde, and then she becomes a trend setter. I am not putting the Gaga stylists down, but there really is no difference between so called “Ghetto” fashion and “Gaga” fashion, except of course the designer label and the price tag! Sexy clothing is sexy clothing no matter what female race or color is wearing it. If the woman is beautiful, what does it matter what color she is? People rave about the Victoria Secret Runway Show every year, yet no one calls the models slutty, trashy or ghetto…right?!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Anyway, even though I am not a huge fan of the song, the video has some humor in it, and the ATL Queens of Hip Hop and R&B in this video production are gorgeous and fashion fierce! That is my opinion and I’m sticking to it. Bounce!<br />

For example, this week has been pretty blazay, and when I fee like that, all I want to do is put on a pair of jeans, a tee shirt, sit back and watch a funny movie to make me laugh. No matter what, I can always depend on denim to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. I guess some designers have figured out that denim will be the fabric of choice until the end of fashion time, so they too have included some designs that are wearable, comfortable and sometimes fashionable. Take a look!<br />

On a positive note...the blouse is ultra cute!<br />

So, there you have it! Love it or leave it, these are my thoughts, and I'm stick'in to them!<br />
What are your thoughts on this matter? What denim clothing item can't you live with out?<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">These days, my life has not been as exciting as usual (due to schoolwork and preparing for finals), and what I’m about to tell you just made things worse. You won’t believe this, but today I missed meeting Dean and Dan, of DSquared2 at Dubai Mall. They actually were walking around Dubai Mall waiting for people to find them. And get this…any two people that found them received free gift bags from the awesome twosome personally! How lucky was that?! Oh well, maybe next time. You can’t win them all. Let’s look on the bright side…at least I can go at their boutique and obsess over their collection when I get back to Dubai. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Take a look at their S/S 2010 collection above. If you ever in Dubai Mall, be sure you visit the new DSquared2 store. If you get their before I do, do me a favor and keep the clothes warm for me. lol<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Goodness knows that I love my stilettos and platform wedges, but this spring and summer 2010 season, it’s time to take it down a few inches in the shoe department. It’s probable better for our health anyway ladies!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Trying to find an attractive midsize heel was not as easy as I thought. After hours of searching on the </div><div style="text-align: center;">web for a perfect pair of low to mid heels, I finally came to the conclusion that my goal was just to find any mid heel shoe that doesn’t look like it belongs to my grandmother. I did manage to find a few that I liked. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are several selections that I came across as being really cute and fashionable.

Designer OSMAN YOUSEFZADA<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">OSMAN YOUSEFZADA S/S 2010<br />
"The White Collection"</span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S9B2NoQEoYI/AAAAAAAAJZA/lqcUNB_CpAs/s1600/OSMAN+FINALE+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S9B2NoQEoYI/AAAAAAAAJZA/lqcUNB_CpAs/s640/OSMAN+FINALE+(2).jpg" width="640" wt="true" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you haven't been keeping updated on the world's fashion gossip as of late, you might be interested to know that the "Posh" herself, Victoria Beckham, has allegedly copied one of Britain’s top Designers, Osman Yousefzada's column dress design, labeling it her own creation. To make matters even more suspicious, it is reported that Mrs. Beckham borrowed the gown from the designer's atelier last year, later returning it without purchase. Shame on Victoria, if she is guilty of being a copycat!<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Being the cavalier designer that he is, Osman did not make a fuss over the accusations that a celebrity designer had copied a piece from his collection. In fact, he did just the opposite! In an interview with Vogue.com, he mentioned that despite what all the people are telling him about the similarities, he is flattered that the former Spice Girl might have been inspired by one of his pieces. What a nice guy…right?<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So why is all of this news important to me? Well, it just so happened that the very next day, after all of the allegations broke out in the tabloids, the young British designer’s PR Company delivered a CD with his S/S 2010 collection to my doorstep! How ironic was that? Needless to say, how excited I was when I viewed this incredible collection on my laptop. The Osman Spring/Summer White Collection is FAB-U-LOUS! If you don’t believe me, take a look for yourselves. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S9B2j0SHQCI/AAAAAAAAJZI/BlybORub7A0/s1600/OSMAN+BACKSTAGE+(3).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="870" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S9B2j0SHQCI/AAAAAAAAJZI/BlybORub7A0/s640/OSMAN+BACKSTAGE+(3).jpg" width="628" wt="true" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S9B2n9ZujpI/AAAAAAAAJZQ/2EIzsYp_JwA/s1600/OSMAN+BACKSTAGE+(6).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="870" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S9B2n9ZujpI/AAAAAAAAJZQ/2EIzsYp_JwA/s640/OSMAN+BACKSTAGE+(6).jpg" width="628" wt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">British born Osman Yousefzada, was making clothes from a young age.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This has been an amazing week for me! You wont believe it, but I was asked to be a regular contributing blogger for DIA East of Fashion Online Magazine (www.dia-boutique.com), which is an online lifestyle magazine geared towards all that is fashion, design, art and culture coming out of the Middle East. How exciting is that! I am so honored, and I want to thank Alex Aubry (Editor at Large for DIA) for allowing me to become part of the DIA Magazine team.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S8-DKnqqlJI/AAAAAAAAJSQ/CRlIKK2fptY/s1600/Untitled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="442" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S8-DKnqqlJI/AAAAAAAAJSQ/CRlIKK2fptY/s640/Untitled.jpg" width="640" wt="true" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

So I decided to dig deep and find some shots of me that were taken at Dubai Fashion Week. I was so busy running up and down the venue interviewing designers, blogging on site, and viewing runway shows, that I barely had time to eat, let alone take photos of myself. It was not priority for me at the time. However, through all the chaos...my dad, brother and friends took it upon themselves to take a few pictures of me. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Thank you guys!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="580" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S8yU3jS2SHI/AAAAAAAAJRc/PWlcnmW31wI/s640/Photos+at+DFW+of+me+AW+2010.jpg" width="640" wt="true" /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"> <em>Du<span style="font-size: x-small;">bai Fashion Week: Day one Day Two Day Five</span></em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S8yYMtEgt8I/AAAAAAAAJRs/jKOqz3nQ7qU/s1600/IMG_0360.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="825" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S8yYMtEgt8I/AAAAAAAAJRs/jKOqz3nQ7qU/s640/IMG_0360.jpg" width="640" wt="true" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">As far as my style goes, I wanted to do something different with the clothes I was going to wear during DFW. So, I decided to design my own outfits. My mom and I sat down and came up with some really cool ideas, but we only had five days to pull it off. Five outfits in five days! Thank goodness my mother had some old sketches of designs that she drew from when she was in High school. They were all from the 80’s, which was perfect for what I wanted to wear. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><ahref="http: 2.bp.blogspot.com="" 3dcysiwx4pe="" _5tgk3tttd0i="" aaaaaaaajse="" imageanchor="1" img_2351copy.jpg?="" s1600="" s8ymnoznvqi="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="940" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S8ymNOznVqI/AAAAAAAAJSE/3DCySiwx4pE/s640/IMG_2351copy.jpg" width="640" wt="true" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Day Four-The photo above was take by Mariyah (Mahryska's Daily Dose Blog) of 77 Street Productions.</span></em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><ahref="http: 3.bp.blogspot.com="" _5tgk3tttd0i="" aaaaaaaajr8="" imageanchor="1" img_0629.jpg?="" s1600="" s8yzhfpgm6i="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" ua4i8isbbve=""><img border="0" height="820" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S8yZHFpgM6I/AAAAAAAAJR8/Ua4i8ISbbVE/s640/IMG_0629.JPG" width="640" wt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><ahref="http: 3.bp.blogspot.com="" _5tgk3tttd0i="" aaaaaaaajr0="" e7pig_pqlxs="" imageanchor="1" img_0716.jpg?="" s1600="" s8yyvbhkkvi="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5tgk3TTtd0I/S8yYVBhkkVI/AAAAAAAAJR0/E7pIg_Pqlxs/s640/IMG_0716.jpg" width="640" wt="true" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">To make a really long story short, we were able to buy fabric, have our pattern maker cut the pieces for each dress, and then took them to our tailor to sew them together, one per day for four days. Day one was buying the fabric and accessories. It was a challenge, but it got done! I’m not sure if I want to take it upon myself to design my clothing again, even though we received so many compliments. That week, I learned that being a designer takes dedication and hard work. I take my hat of to all the “real” designers around the world!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="font-size: large;">So....</span></strong></em></div>What is considered ugly? Fashion is art and art is en expression of individuality, which is an exploration of subjective insight into what is considered to be beautiful or in some cases, “ugly.” In other words, what might be ugly to you might be beautiful to someone else. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Is there a right or wrong involved in this subject? I say, “NO!” It is what it “is”, and that is just fine with me. Who, am I to judge someone’s interpretation of individual expression and call it "ugly"? Most of us are who we are, and wear what we wear because we are either told to “be” it or told to “wear” it. I prefer to make my own decisions to like what I want to like; love who and what I want to love; and be who I want to be! Judgment is simple…Fashion is not! So let’s all try to be in the fashion of freedom because freedom is BLISS!</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta;"><strong>My question to Furne One:</strong></span> What was the inspiration behind the A/W 2010 AMATO collection, and please tell us about the “caging” on your gowns?</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Answer:</strong></span> I was inspired by the movie Merlin, which is a story about King Author. My favorite characters in the movie were the Night in armor and Vivian, The day of the Water. During the Dark Ages, the clothes were very heavy and masculine. I decided to soften the collection by balancing the masculinity with fabrics, such as toile and organza, and I used a lot of pale soft shades to represent Fall/Winter. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The caging process you see on my gowns is not difficult to construct. At the end of the day, it is all about getting the proportions right.<br />
