Au Revoir Class of 2010!

What a year it's been. It almost seems like we first walked into class for the first day of school yesterday. For us, Seniors, Friday will be the first day of the beginning of our lives and we will go into the world with so much knowledge that our teachers, peers, parents, and even ourselves have taught us. We've all had our highs and lows and despite all of the negativity, stress, or pressure, we still manage to keep our heads on our shoulders. This is the time when we look back on everything that we have done to get to where we stand today, and just smile. Knowing how much we have ahead of us can be overwhelming to think about, but it's so exciting! Now is our time to experience life to it's fullest, make our own money, travel the world, anything! We will slowly let go of our parents hands, and become a person of independence. Each and everyone of you have a purpose in life. Things happen for a reason, they always do. Just remember, you will do something great in your life, you will be successful, and you will make a difference and have an effect on everyone. I am so grateful to be where I am today, I'm not quite sure what my purpose is yet, and I know i'm not the only one. This is the time where we will discover ourselves. These are the days we live for. And this is only the beginning.

Summer's Hottest Trends of 2010

1. Future Warrior



This is basically military fashion mashed with tribal fashion on a more savage side. You will see lots of metal plating, tunics (especially leather), chain mail in spired detailing, and tribal inspired designs.


2. Sporty Clothing



Pretty self-explanatory. This trend includes crop tops, baggy pants, sports-like swimwear, shoulder pads, and jersey fabrics, such as mesh.


3. Sheer



This has been one of the hottest trends and it seems to be getting bigger. The key to sporting this look is elegance. Do not go overboard with sheer, if you know what I mean. Keep it sexy, yet tasteful.


4. High Dress Slits



I love this look and I think it looks incredible on women of height. Since the gown is long and flowy and not short with the slit, it shows off the length of your toned legs without looking skanky.


5. Futuristic



This trend has many influences and styles such as our trend on number one. The elements of this trend range from fish and reptile scale textures, circuitry inspired patterns, metal plating, fabrics, or detailing, exaggerated silhouettes, and robotic looking features.

L'Atelier On Channel 7 News?

On the day of the fashion show I noticed the big blue Channel 7 News van in front of the gym. At first I was confused as why that was there, but when I walked into the auditorium where the show was being held and girls were practicing their walks, I saw designer Julia Viadero, and model Hadar Bar being interviewed by a news man. I thought that was so cool! He got some shots of the fourth period show and also interviewed our lovely and inspirational teacher, Mrs. Viadero.
This was such good publicity for this ROP class, and our designers. What a great opportunity!
