Nary Manivong: From Homeless to Fashion Week.
The odds were against Nary Manivong. His parents abandoned him and his three siblings when he was just 14 years old, and he found himself homeless on the streets of Columbus, Ohio fending for himself. "The first place I slept was at a donut place," he said. One day he came across a copy of Vogue magazine and knew instantly he wanted to be a clothing designer. Making pieces out of scraps, he cobbled together his first show at 17 in Ohio but knew he had to get to NYC to make his dreams come true.
After several trips to New York, he secured a backer and debuted at New York Fashion Week in 2005 to much praise. He seemed well on his way to success until his investors pulled the plug, and he was once again left homeless and destitute. )WWD reports that Manivong is back and showing his latest collection -- a collaboration with Ally Hilfiger -- at the upcoming New York Fashion Week).
The documentary Dressed opens in NY theaters tomorrow and follows his struggle to make it in the highly competitive industry.

Donna Karan Evening Goddess.
Donna Karan knows how to drape a dress. Her draped dresses and gowns are pretty close to design perfection. Period. The end. I could just imagine how those dresses feel on in that soft jersey. How can you go wrong wearing something that looks AND feels good? That's just it. You can't. Click the pic above to see more.

11 Year Old Designer Cecilia Cassini Wants to be 27.
Just watched this interview of 11 year old fashion designer Cecilia Cassini on the Nate Berkus show and I have to tell you, it was hard for me to watch. There's no reason for this child to work so hard at acting older than her years. But you can't really blame her, I mean I'm sure she's not raising herself. Her talent at such a young age should speak for itself without all the extra. Just sayin'.
