This is sooo not the economy to be wanting expensive things. But these are just too much fun. Summer is almost here. The sun is bright. You gotta protect those peepers! Talk about a fashion statement! You certainly won’t find these at your typical sunglasses kiosk in the mall. Speaking of which, they really sell some amusing stuff in those kiosks. Like this. Why would anyone want that?

CELEBRITY STYLIST MARGI KENT - FALL 2009 RE-ENTRY INTO HIGH-END RETAIL MARKET
graphic from 2008 studio collection
– Los Angeles based fashion designer and celebrity stylist Margi Kent(www.margikent.com), has served as fashion designer and personal stylist for A-list Hollywood and music personalities including:
Meryl Streep,
Demi Moore,
Mariah Carey,
Kim Cattrall,
Teri Hatcher,
Neil Diamond,
Don Henley
the late Beatle George Harrison,
She is excited to announce her re-entry into the high-end retail market this Fall. Her new line is comprised of both day and evening looks including jackets, dresses, suiting, cocktail and bridal wear, the highly anticipated Fall ’09 Collection takes inspiration from Kent’s love of conceptual art, sculpture and architecture.
According to GQ Magazine, Kent’s fashion nickname is, “the Rock N’ Roll Doctor.”
(Stevie Nicks)
Kent’s designs for Stevie Nicks blend vintage, mystical, bohemian chic and gothic styles to provide a dramatic accent and visual resonance to her spirited stage movements. Opulent shawls, scarves, diaphanous dresses, hats and layers of lace are employed to swirl around the star as she works the stage.
(Kent and Neil Diamond)
Kent recently created a more reserved and sophisticated new image for ageless musical icon Neil Diamond, inspired by his recent album Home Before Dark
"Stars should never let the clothes wear them. It’s important to acknowledge the current trends, but do not give in completely. The end result is an image that is classic, individual and therefore timeless." says Kent
Kent’s new line will be unveiled at an exclusive launch event to select fashion editors, buyers and influential industry members in New York this May.
Beyonce’s look, although adorable and trendy, can be tricky to pull off. The key is to keep the outfit and accessories simple, without being afraid to have fun. For example, don’t be afraid to throw on some platforms like Beyonce. Suspenders are a fickle trend that comes and goes — so enjoy it while you can! Get Beyonce’s look for less! And if you want to make your life easy Fashion Grail has added them all to her wish list!
