Check out one of San Francisco’s hottest designers has in store for you at SFGallery143.com. She has won battles through SF Fashion Feud, rocked numerous runways. We still remember LOVE SICK with all that scantly laced lingerie. Daryl Hannah has even had some one-on-one private lessons on sewing with Alexandria. Did we mention she has her own camp couture for girls?
Alexandria von Bromssen is featuring some of her more classic pieces for us online check it out! She will also be featuring more designs not seen online for our Holiday store in North Beach. Alexandria sews everything herself and is now doing a small production run of each item (maybe 5 are available of each) so be sure to come to the Holiday Store before her unique items are gone forever.
When does she have time to sleep??? psst…I hear it’s 4am these days. : )

Women of all Sizes Gorgeous
I am so happy a Fashion Magazine is finally stepping up and showing healthy, normal sized, beautiful women. In this video link Glamour Magazine shows us a spread of “plus” sized women in their spread. I am so happy this is becoming increasingly popular. I know this is stepping away from the fashion industry traditions on clothing sizes, but lets be honest: this is more realistic.
Numerous studies have shown that healthy women are MORE attractive to males than skinny women by an overwhelming majority. They also find that the skinnier women’s figure looks sickly. Read following link on bbc news.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/8327750.stm
It is a suprise to me even today that women over the size of 6 (the vast majority of the population) is considered a PLUS size. I am a size 8 and have been told I look sexier than I did when I was size 6 and practically starving myself. I do not feel that I am a plus size. I do not have roles of fat, I have toned arms and abs but because of my wider hip structure fight to fit into anything smaller.
Trust me, I am still fighting with all that brain washing of my dance teachers and peers (mostly woman) to feel good about my size. Yes, I do think some styles look better on skinnier women but there are styles for all body types, and if designers are wanting to sell their clothes to a normal population that want it, I think it is smart to market to bigger sizes or have more size options.
I watched a few runway videos on Karl Lagerfeld site. If you look closely, the clothes are actually a little big on the models. Take a look at Fall ‘09. The women’s skeletal figures are pretty obvious with the black pants.
Is this attractive to you?? I would love to hear your comments.

Attendance of 5,000! I don’t think so, but never-the-less it was fun. We were expecting to only get a half of a table and ended up with a full one. Yay! We were also told it was non vending….people did it anyway. Had I known we would have brought A LOT more stuff. You live you learn and in the process we still managed to get people interested. So here is to our first “exhibit” and some pictures of the other “exhibitors.”
Enjoy!
