FALL Trends
Every
year we look at emerging trends in fashion and how to dress for the appropriate
season. In case you’ve been living
in a cave the past month, it is FINALLY Fall outside. This being my favorite
season in fashion, I find myself often asking where my paycheck went, and
hustling just a little more to make ends meet. Being a woman who appreciates style, I am completely okay
with that.
However,
fashion isn’t just for the ladies. We need gentlemen to step it up too.
If you or your male friend is feeling
“fashion-challenged” this season, here are a few trends for everyone to make
their own. No matter what your personal style or budget may be.
TEENAGE DREAM
Varsity and Leather Jackets
are both chic and weather proof for fall.
Men and Women cant really go wrong with either, because they can both go
with pretty much everything. Plus, you get bonus points ladies if you cape-it
on your shoulders.
METALLICA
I
haven’t loved this much metallic since my Spice Girls phase back in 94’! This
trend may be a little more geared towards the ladies, but I am not opposed to a
fashion forward male trying this out either.
GET GRAPHIC
Thanks to Balenciaga,
Kenzo and Givenchy F/W 2012, this season graphic statements are back in a huge way.
Pair it with a skirt or printed pants if you’re feeling funky.
SUIT UP
At the office, or to an event, a suit is very much
appropriate this fall. I see you Miu Miu F/W 2012! Ladies, don’t be scared to
be chic in a pantsuit while out and about. Warning: Wearing print on print
suits are not for the weak of heart.

The new Artwork of Angelbert Metoyer, that are on displayed at the Deborah Colton gallery in Houston,Texas (Novmeber 17, 2012 to Janurary 19, 2013). The exhibition is based around the idea of when We are born into the this living world that We are full of wisdom but can not communicate this wisdom with those around us because We have not learned to speak yet. So We convey this with our eyes and as we learn to speak, our first years of life are spoken from truthfulness and wisdom, but as We get older We lose sight of our imagination and therefore lose touch with that part of ourselves. But as the circle of life continues, We are reminded by the children around Us. Thus "Time Traveling" to the times in our lives when we spread the seed of wisdom. There is a repeating image of an infant through out the show, giving you this honest and almost wisdom filled stare, that Angelbert speaks of in his Artist Statement. The combination of that imagery and the statement, You look at the stares of a child in little different way. After going to the opening I had a few questions for the Artist.

Angelbert's work will be on display at the Deborah Colton gallery 2445 North Boulevard Houston, TX 77098 (Novmeber 17, 2012 to Janurary 19, 2013).
NeoPopFunkStreet Art show
Last weekend was my favorite annual group show, NeoPopFunkStreet art show, its mix of some of the best Contemporary Artist in Houston and abroad. This year Deth P. Sun whom is one of my favorite artists right now, showed at NeoPop and of course delivered. So its great to see not only one of my favorite artist showing in Houston. But its also great to know that local curators that are not working for a gallery, these local "Guerilla Art curators" ( an Guerilla Art curator is defined as curator that seeks out spaces and is not with one particular gallery making it easier to have shows where ever they please or see fit) are building that confidence to approach larger more well known artist to be in shows here in Houston. But the locals didnt any Nationally known artist still the show. Every single one of the local artist in this show blew me away. Some of the artist that where showing NeoPop, I have interviewed for SPC&I
Kevin Sechelski (co-curator of NeoPopFunkStreet Art show)
SPC&I:Who are you ?
KS: Hello World... Im Kevin Sechelski
SPC&I: What do you do ?
KS: Well I'm a full time Real Estate Agent, working artist and Director/Curator/Co-Founder for Neopopstreetfunk.
SPC&I: What medium of art do you most enjoy working with ?
KS: Over the years I've worked with all medium types but as of late mostly painting with acrylics... But I hope to jump back into other types in the near future.
SPC&I: If you could describe your art in three words what would they be ?
KS: Intense, Narrative, Thought-Provoking
SPC&I: What makes you want to be a Curator?
KS:It started with Neopopstreetfunk 1... Organizing an event that brings different artists together as one show... But I really never thought of myself as a curator till Neopopstreetfunk 2 when we started not only selecting artists but also hanging and placing the work.
SPC&I: What made you want to start NeoPopStreetFunk?
KS: Nicky Davis(Co-Founder) and I were wanting to bring a different style of show to the Houston Art Scene. We were watching these events take place in both the west and east coast but nothing really down here in the third coast yet... So five years ago we set out to try and mix things up and found ourselves with an amazing event with tons of love and support.
SPC&I:Do you think that people use the title " curator " too loosely now these days ?
KS:There are a lot of people organizing and curating events these days and I see curators that are on different skill levels but I guess Curators can be judged just like artists and it's in the eye of the beholder... I would love to take my Curating to the next level and even maybe do some guest spots. SPC&I: Do you have any advice for those aspiring future curators out there ?
KS: Always put the show first... It's never about showing friends work... Mix it up and try to successfully merged different styles and themes.... It's your show so have a backbone and remember subpar art can look great hung right and great art can look subpar hung wrong....
SPC&I: If you could Curate an art show for any visual artist living or dead who would it be ?
KS: That's really hard but I would love to do a Barry McGee show...
