Collision- Tim Burton + MoMa

Tim Burton has an exhibit starting Nov. 22nd at the Moma that MosaMuse is planning on attending. It features works from back when Burton was in college all the way until now. Its actually some pretty cool stuff and a snapshot into his mind and on his sets with photography, drawings and paintings. I suggest you all take a trip down to see this as well. The exhibit will be up until April. Just a heads up on things to do other than your normal routine...

Fresh Face- Kelly Moreira

She's just a Myspace chick whose submission to Elite Model Look France via Myspace has landed her on the YSL, Dries Van Noten, Lanvin and Kenzo runways. This French born beauty has an amazing complexion and is known in the industry for her lips and legs. She has only been signed for a few months but there is major buzz around this year. I really think she has potential to be a contrasting appearance to the very cookie cutter looks of Chanel and A. Sosa. I really want them to find depth in her appearance and give her some more edgy work instead of simply making her the same image that we've seen over, and over, and over before. Best of luck Kelly.

Collision- H&M + Jimmy Choo

This collaboration should be great! This Saturday, head to H&M (but pls not the one I'm planning on) to pick up a pair of Jimmy Choos at H&M prices. Now look, no one in my opinion has had a better H&M collection than Stella McCartney (I know a lot of you will argue against that).. but she started the skinny jean trend with zippers on the ankles for only $49.99. But I think Jimmy Choo can give her a run for her money. H&M is only selling his collection in 200 stores around the country. I guarantee I will come back with a bag and a pair (or 2) of shoes for under $150 all together.

Jimmy Choo is doing great with their cobranding this year. They also paired with Hunter. I am in love with Hunter's Jimmy Choo faux croc rainboots. I asked my bf for a pair earlier this yr and I'm still waiting (frown). No doubt I'll head to H&M myself!

Pixels- Bad Romance

"GA GA OOH LALA"

I love this girl! Please check out her new video "Bad Romance" and look out for the scene where shes wearing the bear rug as a coat. I LIVE! She stole my heart dragging that bear head haha. FINALLY... someone worth watching.

But let me be honest, I wasn't into the costume thing for a while. The whole panties with the shades and thigh high boots. I was skeptical because (to be honest) I didnt think she was hot enough to pull it off. It was too Rihanna (meaning, it looked as if she was trying too hard). But now that I got to see this video and the whole vision come together seamlessly... I'm all for this GaGa chick. Shes hot. Shes fun. Shes needed. I want front row tickets! She's a must see show.. an I'll follow this girls' career. After she locks down the music (which she can do with her eyes closed at this pt) where should she go next?

....Cover of Vogue PLEASE Anna (so it can stop looking so damn stuffy)!... Joe Zee...why isn't she on your cover?

Contrast- The White House is The New Black

Anna Wintour's Prada shoes have stepped into the White House. Teamed with Forest Whitaker (huge move for him, yay), Yo Yo Ma, Sarah Jessica Parker, Edward Norton and 19 others, Wintour's role is to inform the President on expanding the role of arts in society. Many other countries have a national figure in this position, and its great that America is finally coming around. It seems like America is years behind everyone lately, right? Anyways, Michelle Obama is the honorary chair of the Committee on the Arts and Humanity. From what I've read about Anna (who btw is one of my idols) thinks that fashion and the global economy are closely related and she really pushes for the US government to reform some of the international trade laws. I'll keep you posted on this committee because I think its going to be a huge component in our society as we mature, and possibly what I retire as the head of it... If Anna can, I can! BTW, why isn't Oprah up on that list?

Flashback Iconic- Naomi Campbell: The Angel In Red

No other muse is comparable. MosaMuse would like to pay homage to the legendary Naomi Campbell for creating a strong path for women of color. The British beauty started at the age of 8 when she was casted in Bob Marley's "Is this love?" video. She was the first black model to appear on the cover of British Vogue and soon after became the face of Nars and Ralph Lauren. Shes walked many catwalks, was the face of many magazines and dated many Hollywood bachelors (including Robert Di Nero and Mike Tyson) She published a book, Swan, detailing a model's life. Shes also known for creating Design House of Naomi Campbell, producing shower gels and perfumes. She appeared in numerous movies and even came out as a recording artist. I love her because she did EVERYTHING. Shes an entrepreneur, cover girl, fashion icon, actress, playboy bunny, singer and bitch. What else could a girl want? Thanks Naomi!

Fresh Face- Hind Sahli

Moroccan beauty Hind Sahli signed with DNA in NY earlier this year. Since signing she has walked for BCBG, Phillip Lim, Herve Leger, Lacoste, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, Vera Wang and Max Azria. The 5 ft 10 inch beauty is known for her distinct brows and long legs. I personally think that her 'middle eastern' appearance (although she is Moroccan) will propel her career during this politically charged time. But all away around, I'm completely sold. I wish her success. What are you thoughts?

Pink- Another Angel Gets Her Wings

Emanueala de Paula (pic above) and Chanel Iman have both been added to the new Victorias Secret roster!! This of course is a huge deal to any models career. These ladies can now ask for the big $ in any shoot/ campaign across the board. The show tapes in NY on the 16th. I think the only reason I'll tune in is to see if sweet Chanel can pull the over the top sex appeal needed. (i do hope she does) But other than that, I've been watching the same glittery catwalk for about 10 yrs now an nothing seems to amaze me anymore. Heres what im wondering: VS's obsession with Heidi Klum will just make you wonder why exactly shes been named the face of the brand. I like her... but I dont get it. The hottest girl in the crew, Adriana Lima wont be there so is there really a pt? We all know they will reveal "the most expensive bra in the world" which will make they $56 push up look like a breeze. At least we can cross our fingers and hope Seal wont come on the stage and sing with his wife... whose idea was that? Anyways, best of luck to Chanel and Emanueala (and Selita). Will you be watching this yr?
