For this week's Fashion Friday, I wanted to lean more towards the art side of this category. On Cal Poly Pomona's campus, there's this incredible art exhibit, the W. Keith and Janet Kelogg Art Gallery, that features exhibits of local artists, students, and in this case, works of faculty members of the Art Department on campus. In this post I wanted to feature the amazing works I saw.. they were so great I literally attended the gallery 3 times in a row. Sure, the gallery is not necessarily large, however, the quality of each piece was exceptional. I'm so excited to share these photos with you!
Anthony Acock - Untitled, 2014
This piece was totally my favorite piece. It took up an entire wall and it was honestly just so amazing to observe. Acock says that he has been doing graffiti for about two decades and it's evident. On the side of the piece are the cans that were used to produce the art and also one of his book/portfolios. Such an amazing design, I absolutely love it.

This may not necessarily
apply to everyone specifically, however, it is possible that it may apply to
most people generally.
I'm a music major, which
means I'm in a creative major, and, ultimately, entering a creative-talent
based industry. That being said, I am surrounded daily by immensely talented
individuals. Being in this environment, it is so easy to feel discouraged, not good enough - you name it. There are so many times where I feel like I'll never get to be able to do what they do. However,
I always think about how I’m here for a reason. I’m a music major for a reason.
I was accepted into this talent based major for a reason. I’m at school not to
become the best musician, producer, music business executive, or whatever. I’m
here to learn. To improve. To be a better me, not be what everyone else views
as “the best”. Instead of viewing others as superior, competition, whatever the case may be, look up to them as inspiration - pushing you to master your craft just like they have.
In other words, do things for you. Not for
everyone else. Live a life that’s fulfilling for you. You are the only person
who can determine your success. If you are happy, content with your journey,
and satisfied with your surroundings, you should, in your eyes, feel
successful.

Hey guys! So I'd like to dedicate this week's Fashion Friday to Jeff Koons. He's not directly related to fashion, however, he is a world-reknown artist, fashion is an art, and therefore, it's close enough for me! Lately I've been fascinated by his work and I really think you should take some time to look at his amazing stuff. He's currently "the most expensive" living artist, and one of the most successful artists of our lifetime (aside from Warhol, of course).
Jeff Koons
I discovered Koons through Gaga (of course) but I was familiar with his work before Gaga began to work with him since his stuff has been displayed in very popular tourist cities and attractions. He's 59 years old and is originally from York, Pennsylvania. He began his art journey through the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and from there, began his massive rise to success - to this day, now he's worth $100 million (probably more by now).

Hey everyone! For my first Fashion Friday post, I wanted to post about my top/favorite fashion models. These models are my favorite not only because of their appearance, but also in their ability to be versatile, and in how they brand themselves/expand their careers. They aren't in any particular order.
Cara Delevingne
21 Years Old
Open any fashion magazine, and it's highly likely you'll find some designer campaign featuring this beauty. She has an unconventional look, but those signature eyebrows and alluring eyes seem to attract designers from all facets. Along with her great looks is an awesome personality - she's really the full package. Watch any video with her in it and she'll most likely make you laugh. She's got this unique look and there's no surprise she's a a huge rising star within the industry. She's one of the most famous models on Instagram, hangs out with celebrities such as Rihanna, and walks runways for all the biggest designers at the biggest fashion weeks. Cara's also been featured in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. I find it interesting that she comes from a wealthy family, with her father being a huge property developer. Plus, Cara's from London which also makes me love her a little more. Can't wait to see how much bigger her career gets!
Naomi Campbell
44 Years Old
What kind of list would this be without THE supermodel, THE queen of the runway, Naomi Campbell. Apart of the elite original supermodel group, Naomi's name has been in the name of fashion for over 20 years. She's been featured in every big fashion designer's campaigns, been the muse of a ton of designers, and been on the cover of Vogue probably more than any other fashion model. Though she is known notoriously for her erratic behavior and diva attitude, that's all what makes me love her even more. Aside from her modeling career, she is a ridiculously smart woman with a very business-oriented mind. Her show, The Face, aired in 5 countries, where she is the main host in all the countries, has become very successful and is growing with every season. Naomi's 44 years old, and nothing seems to be slowing her down. Naomi is a fashion legend and will forever be one of the original supermodels.
