About.

My photo
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!

FNO: 2010


I forgot to blog this when it was first announced, and it is already
Old News in the Fashion World, but still VERY exciting!
Fashion's Night Out will happen again in 2010!
Maybe something magical will happen and I will be able to attend!

Spotted : Trenches Around the World, XoXo.


Gossip Girl stylist Eric Daman (OMFG) is releasing a book on styling, with a foreword by Leighton Meester (!!!) The book is titled "You Know You Want It" and the release date is December 15, 2009. Just in time for Christmas!


Burberry released a new website ArtoftheTrench.com which is a collaboration with THE Sartorialist photographer, Scott Schuman, and it's pretty cool. It's a website full of photos where visitors can leave feedback on the photos of spotted trenches by commenting or "Liking" the photos. Here are some screenshots from the site!

How Bazaar How Bazaar.


Twilight Saga, New Moon stars, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are on the cover for December.

Check out Kristen wearing Alexander Wang & Alexander McQueen (below)!

CFDA VOGUE Fashion Fund Time!

The CFDA/VOGUE Fashion Fund is one of the most prestigious awards given out to designers on the rise who will eventually blow up into a Fashion World Phenomenon ( as shown by previous winners, such as Proenza Schouler and Alexander Wang). Along with the title, which states (a fund is involved), the winner is awarded $200,000 to establish their brand and is pretty much given mentoring from inside the Fashion world to succeed and make themselves more well known.

This year, Alabama Chanin, which is based in Florence, Alabama itself, has been nominated for the second time for the award and will hopefully win.
Fabric and stitch work are a big deal and when it comes down to it, it is looked at as a quality of a designer's work as a whole. If something is poorly made, it can look rushed or thrown together, and who wants to wear clothes will eventually fall apart and not stay around and be classic pieces forever?!

This is definitely not the case here, Natalie Chanin, who started quilting and then moved onto to clothing, has an eye for quality, and it is clear in her work.
Check out the Alabama Chanin blog! (Alabama Studio Style)

Not only because I am from Alabama, (which I do not like to bring up unless necessary), because most know that Alabama is not close to a mecca for Fashion, do I want Natalie to win, but mostly because I have actually done my research on the designers nominated, and I feel that her work is the most precise, detailed, and inventive, and that's what matters most right?!

Others I considered for the award were Gary Graham, (1st photo below), Simon Spurr of Spurr (2nd photo below), and Patrik Ervell, (3rd photo below) (yes, the last two are
Menswear designers, and that's why I like them,)
but I still feel that Alabama Chanin can take the win this year!
Check out all of the nominees here.
The winner and runner-ups will be announced at a gala in NY on Nov. 16th.

& who knows, maybe I'll be able to interview Natalie herself
one day(?!)...that would be an amazing opportunity. Fingers crossed.

Let's Hear it for the Men.


Assouline never fails to present the books people want to have.
Finally, after I have had AMERICAN FASHION for over a year now, AMERICAN FASHION MENSWEAR has been released, and I know it will be on my Christmas list, along with THE ALLURE OF MEN, a book I saw while scoping out the Assouline website. With books about Chanel, DVF, from all the way to the TRENCH BOOK (focusing on one of the most Classic pieces out there, the Trench coat), Assouline is definitely the best in the name of Fashion Publishing so Check it out!
