Thursday Inspiration....Nothing is Impossible !!

Doll Fashion Designer Listed as one of the best job's in world!!!!!!

Doll designers create miniature fashions to be produced on a large scale. Like other designers, they study fashion trends, sketch clothing designs, pick out fabrics and colors and oversee productions of their designers. Even as a youngster, Mattel designer Lily Martinez had an eye for fashion. "As a girl I would design one-of-a-kind outfits for my Barbie dolls using my ruffled socks that I lost the mates for because my parents couldn't afford to buy me fashions," she said.While studying for her fashion design degree, Martinez was hired by Mattel as an assistant designer for Barbie. Eight years later, she is the head designer for My Scene, a doll brand designed for older girls, and is responsible for working with the company's design management and marketing teams to determine the aesthetic direction of the dolls."I guide the designers on identifying trends that are relevant for our dolls and customers as well as making sure the doll's aesthetic is followed throughout in the production process," she said.Martinez credits her success to hard work, perseverance and passion. "Always listen to your heart and to your gut instinct," she said. "Do what you really love because that's what's going to make you happy."

Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival 2009 Gala Opening

In tribute to silver screen beauty Audrey Hepburn 80th anniversary, Jayson Brunsdon’s Gala Opening of Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival 2009, has clearly been inspired by the beautiful and classic style icon with flowing designs in a range of nude colour palettes sailing down the catwalk. From knee-length halter neck dresses, jumpsuits to shorts and jackets in feminine sequins.
Other designers to show at the festival also include Australian leading designers such as Wayne Cooper, Kirrily Johnston, Lisa Ho and Nicola Finetti just to mention a few.
Enjoy the week ladies !!!!

Vintage Tuesday... SP Inspriation for the day..

Rock Look is back and it's all about the shoes..

Primark V Gucci

The look for less at primark!! They look almost exactly the same as this season's Gucci sandals, with matching details from the gold buckle down to the gold and silver studs.The price, however, is VERY different - the Gucci sandals are a whopping £585, while you only need to save up £15 for the Primark ones.

LEFT: Studded gladiator platform shoe £15 from Primark

RIGHT: 'Babouska' sandals £585 from Gucci




Metallic is back, add a pair of leggings, black singlet and Stylish Plumes for the finishing touch.. 'Fire Fly' - Available September 2009

Woodstock keeping the spirit of '69 alive.

It's been 40 years almost to the day since Woodstock, and some would say that four decades on, the Man has won.Here are some contemporary fashion types who, whether through a commitment to organic practices or just plain shagginess, are keeping the spirit of '69 alive.





Neo-Hippies
Hunter-Gatherer: Matthew Williamson
The "carnival dress" in Matthew Williamson's Central Saint Martins thesis show was made from discarded scraps he rescued from the floor as a student intern at Zandra Rhodes' studio. After graduation, he trekked through Guatemala and Mexico instead of going to work for a big fashion corporation. Then there's his Bali-by-way-of-Goa-by-way-of-Ibiza sensibilities. No wonder boho types like Helena Christensen, Daria Werbowy, and Sienna Miller are fans. Some Pictures below...

Iris Braunstein Shemesh was born and still resides in Israel. Her artistic history and a lifetime of influences has been in textile design. The jewelry below shows a beautiful melding of contemporary fashion, textile patterns and materials, and classic romanticism. I love love love te natural exotic colours...

Israeli Inspiration....

I look at the past for inspiration of Stylish Plumes future designs and creations.
Everything to do with fashion I love and how it influences every aspect of our life’s. The past decades sparks my creativity. The detail, elegance and classic lines are timeless, by marrying them with cultural trends from all around the world, truly inspires me.

I have been caught up in Aww of Israeli fashion designers the last couple of weeks... Arnon Kedem Infolive.tv Fashion Reporter covered this story which gives a glimpse of their unique style..

Stylish Plumes First Blog....

Welcome to my BLOG....

WOW, So far what a journey this has been!! Stylish Plumes became a light bulb moment when I moved from Ireland to Sydney Australia with my beau for the newest chapter in our lifes. As I was waiting for my working visa to come threw, the beach days were a very distant memory as winter set in and I needed to do something with my time..

My beautiful and extremely missed best friend who was back in Eire, o so so far away, would say ‘Get Creative’, as joining a sports activity was just out of the question !! And with this her fairy dust had sprinkled all over my imagination and with a DRUM …ROLL… PLEASE… Stylish Plumes creations were born. With thanks to the inspiration and encouragement by a beautiful fairy and her son of course!

The support just kept growing and growing and with this my Plumateers where born.. From my dear family and friends whom gave me ideas and inspiration, to the community of Crosshaven. The beautys that are Sinead Cantwell and Siobhan Ring volunteering to model and of course no shoot would be complete without the spectacular photography of Joleen Cronin www.joleencronin.com, with the result that I could not of imagined, absolutely amazing!

Last and certainly not least is the IT expertise, imagination and can do of Sarah & James. Without them this truly would not be possible for Stylish Plumes to go global…

Much love to you all. X X X
