Visual Journalism Student/ Photographer/Fashion Blogger. I love finding beauty where others don't, and I believe art can be found almost everywhere. Old and new, we can learn from all, and getting to a place where you can realize that is probably the most freeing a person can feel ever. But basically I love Fashion, and the designers are the artists with visions and their canvas' are us and the world, and I love helping spreading that message. "Ultimately isn't that fashion is about? We're all a bunch of big kids playing dress up." Feel free to e-mail me @ andrewwwhester@gmail.com to talk about anything!

When in the Hills..., & who wears Short Shorts?!


POLO Ralph Lauren created a casual preppy version of the "Converse" looking All Stars. They also named it the Ralph Lauren Conrad shoe. ---but apparently, they did not intend for it to be named after Lauren Conrad herself. It's just a shoe, and just a shoe apparently, Sorry LC.


Stella McCartney has new ads featuring...Bambi. Can you say 'The Wonderful World of' Couture?

NEW STUDY : Are suits with shorts instead of full-length trousers acceptable for the workplace for Men? (article @ Financial Times)
Apparently...because they're all over the runway. But, they also have capes, vampire and joker makeup, and lion heads so maybe the Fashion world just might have to wait a little while before everyone accepts men in S&S. (Shorts & Suits)

Everyone Knows Everyone


I ♥ NY...Because Conde Nast is there, and that = GQ, and that = !!!
Confusing Yes, but this isn't...(just follow the pictures and you will soon find how amazing it is)
The August GQ looks amazing...
Chaning Tatum, Zooey Deschanel, and Hunter Parrish all pages away!!!
This could be one of my favorite issues of all time!
We will have to see...here are some pictures I saw updated this morning to my News Feed. (below) (Courtesy of GQ)


The "EPIC" HollisterCo. opened in NYC yesterday and quoting theCUT, they said it could be called "Epically Awkward". With guys and girls walking around 75% naked and greeting people who walk in the store, or should I say "pier"(?), it should be exciting to see how the business goes because I don't think NY is really up for the "Hey What's Up?!" yet.

ALSO! I used an application of Facebook recently showing me how creepily all of my friends and I are all connected/intertwined. Look at this!

OMG, ELECTRIC FEEL.


TOPMAN has "electric" colored suits, and a nice plum and navy for those who would like be traditional. Pshhh. But they will set you back half a grand so save up!!!
(Story from NYMag the CUT)


& Target Exec.'s are afraid of Anna Sui's NEW GossipGirl inspired line?! (OMFG?! WTF?!) Apparently it has to do with the message they represent...drinking, casual sex, and drugs...I mean, come on, that's the 2000 generation teenager already...Come on Target, Open up to the "OMG-Ness".

'Satorialist' This!


Men.Style.com has a "Greatest Hits" Album of the men of Spring 2010 from theSartorialist. For those of you, who do not know above the Satorialist, it is a blog that spots amazing fashion in real-life and makes posts about it. Great Blog. If I did not live in Alabama, or if I had the confidence to dress as chic, I would dress like these guys.

Here are some of my favorites from their picks!

WHAT A SUIT!!! (above)

Cool and Casual with a fedora to top it off! (above)
Insane Jacket...I would throw it on in a heartbeat. (above)
This ENTIRE look is Great! Hat, Shirt, Jacket, Pants!!! (above)
Leather Jacket, Metallic Shoes...enough said! :-) (above)
(Me.)...Just kidding, but pretty much, just less "model chic". (above)
Ahhh...Balmain is back. (above) Ditto. "TEN HUT!" (above) I can't see the bottom of this picture, BUT I hope that he is wearing vintage brown loafers! (above)

Another Great Alexander.


Alexander Wang is to "unveil" his Menswear stuff at the end of this month!

YAY(!!!) for slouchy/comfortable/couture-like Fashion for Men from such an amazing Artist! Now let's see what's it going to cost!

I like his stuff mostly because it looks so comfortable and mostly comes in neutral colors which become classic pieces...which I love!

I'm Sorry Ms. Jackson...


The Jacksons were chic at Michael's funeral and all wore Versace in remembrance?...(I guess?) It was reportedly one of his favorite brands, but I have a feeling he didn't rack up on many collections before he passed seeing as how he was broke. =/ So I guess they couture in his honor :-)


This morning was the first time I had the chance to look at the Couture shows...and I ran across Chanel, which from what I saw, was ALL about coat tails and beads, which is NOT a bad thing.
Every look looks like they should have a $5,000 price tag!
Here are some of my favorites...

Hopefully soon to be worn by Rihanna! (Above Jacket...it just reminds me of edgy and outgoing style.)
This one reminds me of a pair of Loubuitons! (Below)

& This is just an Amazing picture I found recently of 4 Amazing Women at a recent Swarovski who are all recognized in the Fashion World for their interesting and classic styles.
(from left to right...Chloe Sevigny, Blake Lively, Rachel Evan Wood, & Lucy Lui)

& in Random, BUT exciting news!!!...Cobra Starship is playing in ATL in August on their U.S. tour, and I just found out about it today, and I WANT TO GO!
Maybe LEIGHTON MEESTER will make an appearance!!!

I Know You See Me Lookin' at You and You Already Know...


This Just In...

Rihanna wore "star pasteys" under her Blazer on the Fourth of July at a party... Festive or Trashy? I think after the year, she's had, she should have that Vogue cover by now...I mean, come on Anna!
From Rocking Balmain ALL YEAR, bringing denim cut offs back, and wearing the Dolce & Gabbana tux to the Gala, and now star pasteys...send her the memo to meet you on the 12th Floor!

(Story @ the Style.comBlog)

Cameron is on the cover of V and channelling her inner "Material Girl". Oh My.

(Story @ Fashionista)

Miley has made it to ELLE!!!
And with the Max Azria/ Wal-Mart line ahead of her, I have a new respect.

(Story from ELLE)

(&) LAST, but certainly NOT least, Ben Westwood, Vivienne's son, has decided to start a Menswear line to be presented at the next Fall Men's Fashion Week. Maybe I should start saving up now because from this early sketch of his trench, I am going to Obsessed, and this sounds like a piece to Collect. Like Mother, like Son I guess... (story @ Men.Style)

& Oh Yeah!!! Rupert Grint, Ron Weasley from the Happy Potter films contracted the Swine Flu, but he's sure to survive, I mean, he's Wizard, right?! (STORY)

Alexander(s) the Great(s)


OK, this is a VERY random post, but I just passed across these AMAZING Alexander McQueen shoes, (first picture below)...and I have also been watching the movie Alexander featuring Colin Farrell for the past few days because I got the Director's Cut which is 3 1/2 hours long so I have been having to watch in intervals to complete it! I have to say it is worth the length of time sitting in front of the screen! & Conor Paolo from Gossip Girl plays the young Alexander so it's cool to see him starting his serious acting career in such a big film with a cast full of Hollywood's best known names.



Stay American Baby


HAPPY FOURTH!!!
