Victorian Influence

I have recently been looking into victorian fashion and it is a very fashionable time era. I've always seen victorian influence in many dresses and clothing, but after researching the actual era I've come to fall more in love with it. I noticed that there is a gothy look that comes with the whole victorian look. When i have seen victorian inspired clothing around streets it has always been with a goth look. I see blacks and greys and and dark tones. It is very consistent. This really inspired me for my next project which is a victorian style clothing line that has a goth feel to it. I plan to use blacks, dark greys and dark, faded reds. I am really digging this project and plan to actually make some of my designs come to life. I will post up my photos when i am done with the project. This will be hopefully within the next two weeks.

Marcha for Zapata

There was a march that took place On Sunday, April 11, 2010 which was a "marcha for Zapata. It had to do with immigrant rights and other similar issues. I attended the march and to my surprise there was a numerous amount of preople in modern costumes and historical costumes. It was amazing and I was blown away. There were aztec dancers in their dancing outfits that were in several bright colors and heavily embelished. There were also people in guerilla costumes and also more modern war time outfits. The different costumes and fashion statements were incredible. I have never seen anything like it. I have several photos of the event and will post them up very soon. Also i will find out more info on exactly what the march was for.
