About:

The Fashion Blueprint is a hard hitting take on fashion. A a student at The Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC I have been exposed to some of the most innovative, interesting and creative fashion in the entire world. My reason for starting this blog is to report on the amazing fashion I encounter throughout my journey in the concrete jungle that is New York. I will be finding and reporting about the street trends I find, items of clothing and accessories I find interesting and appealing, and helping my loyal readers expand their fashion knowledge and personal style. I will be able to help my readers identify current trends, where to get them, and how to execute them. I will work our hardest to report on the cutting edge of fashion that we find on the streets, the runway, and any other portal we can. Become a follower of The Fashion Blueprint and help yourself stay in the fashion loop.

To Be You? To Be Me? No, No, "To Be G"

Straight off the pages of WWD (Thank you Heather) Brothers Guccio and Alessandro Gucci are starting their own handbag line to be launched next spring. The Great Grandchildren of fashion legend and icon Cuccio Gucci, founder of the Gucci fashion empire, want to establish and execute their own vision separate of the Gucci brand.

For some unknown reason they wish to create their own name in the fashion industry. Ironically Guccio has has worked as a coordinating development of product and research of hides for the past 12 years at Gucci. I think this background in leather may help them create a luxury leather handbag line. Because he was involved in product development we may start to see some similarities in the shapes and designs of the bags. The bags are planned to retail between $900.00-$9,000.00

Either Guccio and Alessandro Gucci actually have a strong desire to design and show their own personal point of view they feel they can not execute at Gucci, or they are planning to milk the Gucci name for as much as they can. This is a brand I am going to keep my eyes on.
