Gucci

To characterize Cristobal Balenciaga as merely a designer of clothing would miss the point of his work and the impact it left upon the fashion world. An anachronism in the truest sense of the word, Balenciaga was arguably the last true European courtier, the final heir to a tradition of painstaking manual labor that stretched back centuries. Set apart from the fashion world at large as much by his almost obsessive perfectionism as by his legendarily intense aversion to the spotlight, Balenciaga…

Since my High school years, the years where everyone and everything was vulnerable and susceptible to failure, judgment, pain, and rejection it has always been a dream and interest of mine to learn how to swim. The relaxing feeling and confidence of submerging in a large array of water without fear or hesitation of drowning by such a necessity, I couldn’t imagine living without. Little did I know that my childish desire would haunt me till the days of my adulthood. Foolish and naïve thinking…

I agreed to have dinner with Jake tonight, and I should have been scared or anxious because he was a freaking FBI agent and all, but to my surprise, I wasn't. I was kind of happy and excited about it and I really have no idea why. I kept thinking about him for the last few days, his eyes, his sexy smile, everything. And I had to remind myself each time that if he knew a single thing about me, he would handcuff me and throw me to rot in prison. I also have a great feeling that I was starting to…

Introduction My mom and I decided that the summer after my freshman year of college we would take a mother-daughter trip. I really wanted to go to Mexico City and mom wanted to go to New York. We debated about where to go because we wanted to go to both places. We finally decided that we would just go to both places. We drove to New York first since it was in the States and then we flew out to Mexico City. Profile of New York New York Bay was discovered in 1542 by Giovanni da Verrazano.…

pictured myself hailing taxis by doing that cool whistling thing with my fingers and eating at restaurants with only the finest of cuisines. I dreamed about strutting down Madison Ave. in oversized sunglasses, arms filled with shopping bags from Chanel, Gucci, Chloè, and Hermès. But the second I step out of my cab from the LaGuardia airport and into a heaping pill of dog s***, reality was waiting to slap me in the face. After I had managed to clean off my shoe I was back in action. Not even…

Rappers today all have, or should have, their own unique style. If not their own unique style, they should come with their own sound, look, and background. For example, five names which I selected tend stand out among others in the Hip-hop community. These names being: Drake, Future, Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole, and Eminem. Drake, a Canadian rapper-singer, is currently one of the highest selling artists today. His style and pop-rap sound has found a way to produce hit after hit. Future is a southern…

What is art and what art is have been very controversial topics of discussion for centuries. Art is a very opinionated subject, and many people tend to share different views when it comes to art. To this day, we still do not have one solid, universally agreed upon definition of art. This makes it very hard to decide what is art, and what is not, considering we do not have a perfectly correct guideline to follow. Philosophers and artists have been sharing their beliefs on the argument of art for…
