Cadillac 2012: Nick Verreos hosting Cadillac Contemporary Design Competition 2012 at Style Week OC Irvine Spectrum Center
Several weekends ago, I had the pleasure of hosting--for the FOURTH consecutive year!--Style Week OC. This year, Style Week OC 2012 kicked off on Fashion's Night Out (September 6th) with fashion shows/events/parties at bothIrvine Spectrum Centerand Fashion Island.
A View From Above: The Runway Scene (and my runway walk entrance!) from Style Week OC 2012, Irvine Spectrum Center
The night involved TWO great fashion shows: the Cadillac Contemporary Design Competition and the Irvine Spectrum Center Collection. The two runway shows were seamlessly put together and then afterward, was the important and final judging of who would win the Cadillac Contemporary Design Competition.
Let's Start with Cadillac Design Competition:
Hanger Appeal: The Cadillac Contemporary Design 2012 Competition looks from FIDM designers
Prior to the Runway Show, I had the honor of pre-judging the five looks created by designers from my Alma Mater, theFashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM: Eduardo Reategui, Ahmad Murtaza, Steve McDonald and Chelsea O'Neill. I was joined by Christie Baca of Cadillac and Lejla Hasanagic, Irvine Spectrum Center Nordstom General Manager. They were tasked to create contemporary designs using denim--as well as actual Cadillac Car Components.
Orange Suit for Orange County: Nick Verreos Hosts Style Week OC 2012 "Cadillac Contemporary Design Competition" fashion show
Each of the looks were inspired by the new Cadillac ATS and one of four international locales--Chile, China, Monaco and Morocco. These are World-re-known locations for testing riding dynamics and also featured in Cadillac Commercials/Ad Campaigns.

Boob Jobs for Mommies, Genitalia Prints, Maxi Pads...and Ven Flower Power!
Let's Recap the Bullet Points of Last Night's Episode...
Maxi Pad Dresses:
Mommy Boob Jobs:
Male and Female Genitalia:
And...Ven Flower Auto Pilot:
Last night's 9th episode of Season 10 Project Runwaywas like attending a Women's Gynecological Seminar and a Flower Show...all at once! There were Maxi-pads, women's genitalia references, as well as mentions of boob jobs. And then there were those "Ven flowers" and Miss Heidi Klum's "If you do that again, I will SCREAM!" warning. The challenge for the episode was to create a print using the HP/Intel Touchsmart desktop and technology and design a runway look all while being inspired by their "cultural heritage". In a touching moment, the designers' loved ones--mommies, a sister, a best friend and a partner--were brought in to help them with their print designs. There's lots to highlight before I go into my Recap:
First, Gunnar...oh little Gunnar...
Season 10 contestant/designer Gunnar Deatherage was reunited with his GORGEOUS mommy--whom I actually met back at the Chicago Castings when I was there to film some fun behind-the-scenes segments for LookTV and YouTube. I remember her waiting outside the "Judge's Anti-chamber" all nervous as her son was in there. Anyhow, in the beginning of the episode, Gunnar said that he wanted to win the show so he could
A) Buy himself a new pair of boots, and
B) Buy his mommy a boob job.
If you want to know what my response was to that...you're going to have to keep reading at the end of this blog...
Now, let's get to the Runway:
It was nice to see Season 9 Winner Anya Ayoung Chee and Season 8 Designer and Season 1 All Stars Winner Mondo Guerra as the Guest Judges for last night's episode. I was a guest judge back in the 6th Season of Project Runway and I was very honored, but I do remember how the designers who were standing in front of us as we were judging, were rolling their eyes and sort of thinking "Who are YOU to judge me?" and I saw THE SAME thing in last night's episode. It was nice to see that it wasn't just me. Oh, and I thought both Anya and Mondo did a fantastic job by the way (and OMG! I LOVE Anya's ring! So fab!).
My Fave Design Was:
Melissa Fleis: Melissa was inspired by blood lines and a family tree which helped her create a red and white print which was very Resort and chic. The sheath dress was perfect! It fit perfectly, the length was just right, the print was great...I thought she should have won, being that IT WAS A PRINT CHALLENGE! Hello! I do understand that perhaps this dress was something one could see at a better department store right now. But, so what? Great job Melissa.
I also loved...
Fabio Costa: his design was very modern, very Tilda Swinton...the styling was SPOT ON. Fabio has a very European/NYC design sensibility and you can tell that design-wise, he is YEARS beyond someone like little Gunnar, (bless his heart). He just hid his print unfortunately with the black organza (same thing Christopher did) and only used it as a "secondary fabric". Oh and about that print: he said it was based on male and female genitalia. It's like "abstract Adam and Eve", I guess. Oh Fabio, you naaaastyyyyy! But, that's OK with me. I also liked...
Sonjia Williams: LOVED those pants. Perfectly mitered at the crotch and center back (the prints match, darlings), tailored and a fun print. Oh and that black cowl-back top: super. But the actual winner was...
Dmitry Sholokhov: The judges loved his jacket and were very effusive over its design and construction. But I was with Mondo on this one: It's NOT A JACKET Challenge. It's a PRINT Challenge. And to be honest, the top underneath--in the print--was not so revolutionary. Also, when you see the look above, it screams 2002, doesn't it? At least to me. But Congrats Dmitry for your first win. Finally!
Ven, Dear Flower Power-and-Maxi-Pad Ven...
Ven Budhu: I liked his one-shoulder dress. It was muy elegante and very Uptown Doyenne. But yes, that darn pleated rose thing! AGAIN. After seeing his NY Fashion Week Collection last Friday at Lincoln Center (he was one of the eight Season 10 Designers who showed and it was ALL about his pleated rose!), now I'm beginning to think he's just stubborn and wants to keep giving an "F You" to the judges. Who knows...
Season 10 designer Ven Budhu, a Maxi-Pad Dress and Tim Gunn
This was his second dress after Tim Gunn called his fan-pleated detail on the first dress (above on form) something that reminded him of a Maxi pad. Oh Lordy.
Now the Lowest Vote Getter...
Gunnar Deatherage: Gunnar designed a print--with hands outstretched trying to grab a bird--based on the bullying he has endured throughout his childhood and high school years. The minute the episode focused so much on all of this, I knew he was GONE. He said his design was "Equestrian" but the judges were not so complimentary when it came to his design.
PS: This is Chic Equestrian...
Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco for Gucci--unfortunately his design was closer to...
An ad for Chico's. Enough said.
Here's my Recap for this week's Project Runway Episode:
If It's Another Flower I Will Scream!
It's the halfway mark of Season 10 of "Project Runway." We began with 16 designers and now, we're down to 8. Last week's Team Challenge was "The Boris and Natasha Show" as I called it in my last blog recap. It was all about Dmitry and Elena and their bickering and hate-talking which dominated the entire episode. The fashions were mostly a yawn except for Sonjia's winning Armani Prive-esque jacket and Christopher's asymmetrical camel coat, so of course, the episode concentrated on the bitchy drama. What should the next challenge bring? Well, let's find out...
Pay Your Bills. .. Before Getting Mommie a Boob Job
As the episode begins, there's a little confessional scene from Gunnar saying that he wishes he'll win so he can buy himself a pair of boots and his mom, a boob job. OK huney, that's cute for TV and will guarantee you get some camera time (Gunnar, you just made the producers and editors have an editorial orgasm!), but it's not so cute in real life. Here's some advice: those two things might not be your top priorities when someone hands you a $100,000. Maybe paying your college loans, bills, setting up a design studio ... those might be your priorities. Oh these kids, they slay me ... AGAIN!
Addicted to Heidi
Heidi in a very mini, strapless black dress (a la Robert Palmer Girl) —l; walks in, warning the remaining designers that they all need to step it up and "wow" her. Umm, HELLO! Amen Sister. This is not the first time she's said this to this group. I wonder why? I’ve been saying throughout this season that the fashions have been rather unmemorable. It looks as if the theme is "Make it Safe". But when it comes to "characters," Season 10 has it in spades. Which is better? Well, talk amongst yourselves on that one because I would rather discuss this week's challenge and fashions.
HP Haute
Tim Gunn is in the Parsons Workroom with Season 8 Finalist and All Stars Season 1 Winner Mondo Guerra. They are there to introduce the HP Print Challenge (Yeayyy, one of my favorites!): Create a textile design and a modern runway look inspired by your cultural heritage...

Watch Kanye West before fame. He talks about Marc Jacobs at 0:50
Marc Jacobs got a more million dollar Louis Vuitton contract for Kanye a few years ago. Kanye launched a sneakers collection with Louis Vuitton. Kanye's been grateful for Jacobs since then. Jacobs controls Kanye in many ways. It was Marc's idea for Kim Kardashian to wear that Givenchy dress. He wanted to make fun of the pregnant woman at the Met Ball.( Last year everyone was making fun of Jacobs in the lace see-through shirt dress that he was wearing at the Met Ball. ) He even made Kanye steal an old Hungarian song.
Marc Jacobs at the MET Ball last year. He was the highlight of the event. This year he made Kim Kardashian to be the most talked about guest of the Ball.
Have you heard that Kanye West in 2013 stole a more than 40 years old Hungarian song?
This song has been my inspiration for designing for many years. It's one of my favorite songs. Obviously Jacobs asked Kanye to play that old Hungarian hit song.
Kóbor János the singer of Omega claimed he will sue Kanye for sampling Gyönyhajú Lány(The organs from New Slaves) and not crediting them.He already hired an international lawyer to start the confrontation. They can't sue Kanyeyet because it was only played on walls and on SNL and it's not official. But if it mades the Album he promised he will step in the ring. It's funny because the 66 buildings experience was filmed on the singer's 70th birthday
Many people have identified the sample at use towards the end of the new track that KanyeWest premiered on (almost) 66 buildings andSaturday Night Live this past weekend.
The music? A Hungarian band called Omega, who released ”Gyöngyhajú Lány” (translated as The Girl with Pearly Hair) in 1969.
It seems that Kanye has had enough of Jacobs power over him. Kanye recently revealed to W magazine that he wrote the humble little ditty after an “unnamed designer” invited him to his show–on the condition that West not attend any other shows that season. "Cause it’s like, Yo! Nobody can tell me where I can and can’t go,” West lamented in the interview with W, " Man, I’m the number-one living and breathing rock star. I am Axl Rose; I am Jim Morrison. You can’t say that you love music and then say that Kanye West can’t come to your show.”( Kanye's problem must be way more than just a fashion show invitation. Jacobs has been controlling him for many years.) viafashionsta.com
And now the question is: Who was the offending designer? Fashionista is assuming it was someone who showed during Paris fashion week (West also mentions a French restaurant in “I Am a God). That's right, someone from Paris. That unnamed designer is definitely Marc Jacobs. Kanye used to attend his fashion shows each season. He has not attented any LV Womenswear show for 2 years, he only attends the Mens LV show.In 2011 Kanye wasn't invited to the Louis Vuitton show, details nymag. I suppose they could not agree on MJ's conditions. By the way this exclusive condition is not new to Jacobs. He usually has some models walk his show with "exclusive condition". So the model can walk ONLY his fashion show (for free), no other fashion shows. The Marc Jacobs runway models are paid in trade ( they can chose a piece of clothing). There was a big scandal in 2012 with Jacobs non-paying his models. I told you, Jacobs is egomaniac. Marc Jacobs' power over Kanye West, Katie Grand, whose idea was to launch the LOVE Magazine?
Marc`s best friend Lorenzo with Givenchy`s Ricardo Tisci
Why is Kanye wearing kilt on his performances?
Because his `buddy` MJ tells him so.
Kendall Jenner walked the Marc Jacobs fashion show in a completely sheer top, it was her modeling debut.

Kendall Jenner presented the Fashion Media Award for Katie Grand in 2014 september
Kendall said at the award:
“The first time I discovered LOVE, I realized the editor in chief, Katie Grand, had a fantastic, cool way of showing fashion. Fast-forward to my very first time doing NY Fashion Week—my agency called to say that I’d be meeting her for the Marc Jacobs show. I was so nervous, kind of like I am right now. Lucky for me, Katie was super nice and she booked me for the show. Since then we’ve shared many adventures, including my very own cover of LOVE. ”

Marc Jacobs supports and controls Kendall Jenner as well.
How does Marc Jacobs control celebrities?
He controls them through fashion photographers. ( for example Miley Cyrus through Terry Richardson)
Marc Jacobs and his power on celebrities....
1st. Marc Jacobs and Lady Gaga
Did you know that Jacobs has Lady Gaga in his pocket?
Here are some interesting information for you...
Lady Gaga, Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone
Lady Gaga dressed up as a saint with halo around her head and sang for Jacobs at his party in 2009
Marc Jacobs and Lady Gaga kissing
Marc Jacobs and Lady Gaga
Marc Jacobs pulls Gaga`s strings. He talked her into getting an Angel inked on her head. It is not enough for Marc Jacobs, that Lady Gaga is wearing my style, the Angel Barta style ( for example the huge bows) he even wanted her to have an Angel tattoo on her head. He wants to control everyone!
Why does the famous Lady Gaga let a fashion designer to control her?
Because she need the magazine covers, and the well-paying campaign contracts that Marc Jacobs gives her.
Marc Jacobs copied my own designed large fuchsia bow and made Gaga to wear it.
Marc Jacobs even designed a Louis Vuitton wheelchair for Gaga.
Lady Gaga with Marc`s supporter Lorenzo Martone
So how does Jacobs control the entire fashion industry?
First, he buys the people. He gets them good jobs. For example for Inez and Vinoodh photographer duo. He got them Louis Vuitton campaign contracts many times and now he got them a very big job: The latest video clip of Lady Gaga. He tells them what he wants in the clip and they realize Jacobs` fantasy in the video clip.
Lady Gaga with Inez
The official music video for Lady Gaga’s new track “Applause” has released. They first presented the song last week, followed by a sexy topless spread that the singer had in the latest issue of V Magazine. Photographer duo Inez & Vinoodh produced both the V Magazine spread and now also directed the new music video for the single. Inez and Vinoodh used to make all the Louis Vuitton campaigns, they are great friends of Jacobs. MJ recently gave them the Miu Miu and Nina Ricci campaigns instead of the LV (Steven Meisel shoots the LV campaigns since 2008)... Plus, they `discovered` the first of Marc`s Hungarian model,s Eniko Mihalik in 2008. They booked her for an exclusive 6 months contract.
There is another editorial that belongs to Marc Jacobs in the same issue of V magazine. Australian model Miranda Kerr embodied the HUNGARIAN adult film actress Cicciolina. How interesting is that the model is wearing Louis Vuitton and Givenchy dresses. ( I am Hungarian too)
Miranda Kerr embodies Hungarian Cicciolina in V magazine
The Art of Travel Louis Vuitton campaign was shot by Inez and Vinoodh fronted by Marc Jacobs` favorite American model Arizona Muse, who was discovered by him, she first walked the Marc Jacobs and Prada shows.
The story of the campaign: Admiring the Mona Lisa, she realizes a man is following her. After finding she is the only one to have the key to a mysterious trunk where a letter is hidden, she accepts Vuitton’s invitation to a journey, disappearing in a hot air balloon above Paris.
Here is another example... Arizona featured in the Louis Vuitton Cruise Catalog, where Jacobs copied many of my personal pictures. Jacobs follows me everywhere. He hired people to take photos of me on the street. Then he copied the moments of my life for his Cruise Catalog.
The story of the Catalog is quite similar to the Art of Travel campaign`s story: The girl walks on the streets of Paris and a mysterious man is following her everywhere.
Not long after I made pictures at Place Vendome for my Angel Barta Lookbook wearing my own designs, Marc Jacobs copied my pictures with the SAME photographers and the same model from the Louis Vuitton campaign. Jacobs asked them to make a `smiling at Place Vendome` editorial for Vogue Paris. The model had show a big happy smile on EACH pictures just like I did in my lookbook a few months earlier during the haute couture fashion week.
How can a fashion designer control the world famous celebrities?
Well, in Jacobs' case easily. Do you know why Madonna sings and dances they Jacobs wants her to? Why did Madonna sing a song with Jacobs' favorite singer M.I.A ( who featured in the Marc by Marc Jacobs campaign in 2008)?
Because Jacobs gave her the Louis Vuitton 1 year long contract in 2009. Madonna got $10 million for the campaign. Since then Madonna is grateful for Jacobs.
Marc Jacobs got inked the word " Shameless" on his chest... Even he admits and knows how cruel and shameless he is!
Marc Jacobs by Terry Richardson
Marc Jacobs and Miley Cyrus... another celebrity controlled by the egomaniac MJ.
Marc Jacobs first invited Miley for his fashion show in 2013 February, then made Miley to dress up the same way I did on my photos last summer in 2012.
The latest video clip of Miley the " We Can't Stop" was the idea of Jacobs. He pulls Miley`s strings too.
Jacobs first copied my high-waisted black shorts for his Winter 2013 Collection...
Miley goes everywhere wearing cropped tops, highwaisted shorts with black thigh-high boots lately.
Miley Cyrus attended a private party held by Marc Jacobs in Savannah, Georgia, on October 14 2010. Miley hit up the party held in honor of Robert Duffy.
Miley with Marc Jacobs' business partner Robert Duffy. She is wearing a Marc Jacobs dress.
Miley goes naked for Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs controls Miley from the background. Her performance at the VMA 2013 was completely MJ's idea.
Update! 2013 October! In a new interview with Rankin’s Hunger magazine, Cyrus credits Jacobs—who recently featured her naked on a t-shirt to promote skin cancer awareness—for her introduction into the world of high fashion.
I work a lot with Marc Jacobs. He kind of brought me into fashion like when I was 16, that was when I started being around him and just learning from him. He kind of let me inspire some of his pieces and now I feel like its just having the right people around you.
Did you know that photographer Terry Richardson invited Miley to his studio just a few weeks before her VMA performance?
Marc Jacobs`s best buddy `uncle Terry` taught Miley how to dance at the VMA`s....
Miley with Marc Jacobs` best buddy photographer Terry Richardson
The new video clip of Robin Thicke`s Give it 2 U song came out today, 2 days after his performance with Miley. The lyrics proves that Marc Jacobs has a big influence on singers, song writers, etc. Listen to the song at: 1:47 and at 3:18... Robin stops singing and says: ANGEL ( which is my name)... how bizarre! Jacobs gives a sign hidden in the video, 2 times .
The lyrics:
Hey girl You know you're looking so damn fly You looking like you fell from the sky
Angel You know make a grown man cry I wanna give it to you tonight And make everything you fantasize Come true, ooh baby

Miley Cyrus with Marc's business partner Robert Duffy
Miley Cyrus presented Marc Jacobs and his business partner Robert Duffy with the Superstar Award at Fashion Group International's 30th Annual Night of Stars on Tuesday, Oct. 22 2013.
Miley Cyrus with her supporters: Marc Jacobs and Robert Duffy. The men who are responsible for her new shocking image.

At the AMA 2013 Miley Cyrus copied
the cat hologram idea of a Hungarian band called 'Belga'.
Picture from the video clip of Hungarian 'Belga- Tini Rock'
Miley Cyrus's performance with a huge cat in the background, just like in the Hungarian video clip
Marc Jacobs controls photographer Terry Richardson too.
He is the originator behind many of Richardson`s perverse editorials.
How can he control Richardson?
The answer is simple: Jacobs gets Terry very well-paying jobs. ( Just like he did for Inez and Vinoodh for the Gaga clip)... and Terry can not say no to money!
For example in 2011, Terry followed Gaga on her “Monster Ball” tour taking behind the scenes pics, 350 of which made it into his book Lady Gaga X Terry Richardson. Post reports that Richardson made $58 million on his photos between June 2012 and June 2013. The latest job Jacobs got Terry is the new video clip of Miley Cyrus, the Wrecking Ball was directed by Terry Richardson.
Lady Gaga was recently spotted leaving the VMA`s rehearsal studio with photographer Terry Richardson wearing just a bra and pants.

Miley Cyrus goes totally naked in her new video clip directed by Marc Jacobs' best buddy Terry Richardson.
The entire video clip was MJ's perverse idea.
Miley Cyrus spent another day at Terry Richardson's photo studio. They took some more photos.
2014 January UPDATE: Miley Cyrus is the star of Jacobs’ Spring 2014 ad campaign. Here’s the first image:

I n the background of the shot taken by David Sims, one zombie-ish blonde model stares vacantly into space, while a seemingly lifeless redhead plays dead on the ground to her left.
Miley showed her support for the LGBT community by posting a photo of herself wearing a pro-gay rights campaign T-shirt designed by Marc Jacobs on Twitter two days ago.
Beth Ditto and Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs and Beth Ditto were very good friends from the beginning of her fame. After my book about Marc Jacobs was published, Marc wrote a song about my book and asked Beth Ditto to sing it. Of course she said yes! The title of the song: " I Wrote The Book".
BETH DITTO on the cover of Katie Grand's Love Magazine
Marc and Beth Ditto are still very good friends. Jacobs sent her a new Marc by Marc Jacobs dress for her appearence on the red carpet.
Here is a video with me, sending a message for Marc Jacobs
I made this video in 2012 summer. I was wearing my own designed stripped Angel Barta dress. In 2012 summer polka dots were the must have trends of the summer. 2 months later Jacobs designed a collection full of stripped outfits... each single outfit was stripped! Marc Jacobs and Joe Jonas (another former Disney star)
This was not the only time when MJ wrote a song for a singer. Here is another example.
Joe Jonas, a young American singer, who is as close friends with the designer, that he even lived in Marc' apartment for a couple of months, in New York.( Read more details on Elle.com)
Of course Jonas could not say no to Marc when he asked him to sing this song about my love with Marc. Watch the video, it was recorded in Paris, you will see at 2:15, that the girl in the clip is called Angel, like me and at 0:50 the boy writes " Angel" with red lipstick.
How did Jacobs use one of my idea for several times?
I was wearing my own designed coat in 2011 during Paris Fashion week.
Check out the pics, how he has copied my coat and every single details on my photo since then...
1st. Marc Jacobs copied the concept of my photo for his ad campaign.
2nd. He used my magenta-blue colour combination to design a Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag...
3rd. He not just copied my blue-magenta coat, but also made Lady Gaga wear it!
They met in Paris and he talked her into wearing it! By the way he designed that dress for the french brand Comme des Garcons. ( He often wears Comme de Garcons outfits, for example the pink " nightgown" he was wearing at the Louis Vuitton exhibition opening Event. )
Marc Jacobs is wearing a Comme des Garcons nightgown for the sophisticated Louis Vuitton Exhibition Opening Event.
4th. Jacobs recently copied my color-combination
for his Marc by Marc Jacobs Resort 2014
I was wearing this coat for the Fashion Week in 2013 March Paris.
Anna Dello Russo
It seems that Anna Dello Russo ( editor of Vogue Japan) really liked my coat with the big ribbon. After we met she copied me. The brand of her dress is Nina Ricci! What a coincidence! That dress never was on the catwalk, you could see it only on Anna dello Russo.
Marc Jacobs designed that dress with the help of Katie Grand and Peter Copping.
Peter Copping used to be the right hand of Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton for more then 10 years. In 2009 Marc got him the creative director job at Nina Ricci. This way Marc can control the design team at Nina Ricci too. Peter designs what his supporter wants him to. Marc puts his ex colleagues at most of the fashion brands... he wants to control the whole fashion industry.
This is how Marc can copy my ideas for Nina Ricci. The Hungarian models usually walk the NR catwalk.
First Marc copies my designs then spreads it in the whole world... and it becomes a trend.
Guess, I don't need to explain why you see Cara Delenvigne everywhere lately. Delevingne’s rise to modeling stardom can be tracked back to Marc Jacobs and Katie Grand, who frequently puts Delevingne in (and even on the cover of) her magazine,Love. By the way Kate Moss ( the other woman who is so passionately french kissing Jacobs) is on the cover of the same issue of LOVE Magazine. It was Jacobs' idea to launch the Love Magazine and he put Katie Grand as editor in chief.The models featured in the magazine have to realise all his perverse fantasies in the editorials.
Marc Jacobs`s team: Miley Cyrus, Karlie Kloss, Cara Delevingne, Rita Ora, Karen Elson, Derek Blasberg. Marc made successful EACH of them.
Jacobs booked Delevingne for his mainline and Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2013 catwalk shows, and picked her to appear nude on his 'Protect The Skin You're In' T-shirts to raise money for skin cancer research... she also starred in Jacobs's perverse short Louis Vuitton video. Marc loves Cara a lot, now he just wants Katie Grand to take responsibility for her instant success, so Jacobs can stay in the background.
Marc Jacobs with Natalia Vodianova
Another example...
I was wearing my vintage style Angel Barta high-waisted bikinis on the beach in 2011 and 2012 summer and posted the photos later on facebook... in 2012 summer Taylor Swift was wearing the exact copy of my bikinis with Marc Jacobs shorts ( her bikinis had no brand, it was only made for this occasion) ... Marc can control what the celebrities wear through his close friend, Rachel Zoe, stylist from Hollywood, she dresses Taylor.
How interesting is that Taylor was wearing Marc by Marc Jacobs shorts with the bikini
Rachel Zoe with Marc`s best friend Lorenzo

Rachel Zoe and Marc Jacobs
Rihanna:
First: I was wearing hold-ups every day in Paris in 2010... Next step: Jacobs made Rihanna to wear hold-ups Third step: Jacobs even himself put on hold-ups with his best friend Lorenzo
Here is my video in front of the Louis Vuitton Tent during Paris Fashion Week. This is what I feel every season before his shows... knowing that the models are inside fitting the clothes that were originally my ideas... and I.. I have to be standing outside...
Here is my video in front of the Louis Vuitton tent:
I am Angel Barta, fashion designer. Many fashion brands have been using my ideas and designing my style for 5 years.Now I am ready to take credit for my work, and I'd like to work for a big fashion brand and design MY ideas under MY own name!
