Behind the Seams...Donna Mizani

Another fashion video today, saw this on facebook and wanted to share it, mostly because Donna Mizani has some cool stuff, the ladies behind it are HottHe's and He is in a good mood today. This is officially the first Fall 2011 post of the year.

Thank You...Donna Mizani

Recognized by her peers as the hardest-working, up-and-coming young designer in L.A., 23-year-old Donna Mizani is already making a name for herself with her ultra-feminine creations. In 2008 she began designing her first resort collection, predominately knit silks, for her self-named label, which debuted in Harvey Nichols Hong Kong stores in November 2009.

Once again, Hot Model + Hot Clothing = He Approved Collection. He went through and picked out a few of He's favorites from the collection. Always nice too when a designer makes a cool video to add to the collection. Now all we need is some more Spring weather for you ladies to start running around the city in these dresses.

FashionTalk by He...Donna Mizani

He caught up with fashion designers Donna Mizani wanted to check in on Fall 2011 and introduce the brand to the ArmHe in a little more detail. In case you don't know Donna Mizani is worn by pretty much all the top celebrities. Of course like all brands, He's favorites end up being the ones run by HottHe's, go figure.

The label, which is known for putting the cut out dress on the map, offers women the opportunity to define their own style by creating an identity through alluring, wearable garments. 

Typically He isn't a fan of the cut out dress, but as He has said before, its who wears it and how they wear it that really can make or break the outfit. If you are gonna wear it, might as well wear Donna Mizani after all they did make the freakin thing famous.

He: Describe Donna Mizani in one word?

Alluring

He: What made you decide to start your own clothing line?

It started when I was a little girl, I was always sketching, and playing dress up.  My mom said "Donna, one day you'll a fashion designer!", and it just progressed from there.  I worked for a few other companies and eventually it was time to design contemporary clothing under my own label. 

He: Who is the Donna Mizani girl?

Tough question because the Donna Mizani girl could be anyone.  She is your sister, your best friend, a coworker.  She's sexy, she's fun, she's ambitious, mysterious, and most of all she's a risk taker. 

He: What are some upcoming trends the readers should be aware of?

The Donna Mizani 2011 Fall and Holiday collections feature a lot of upcoming trends.  I'd say the the biggest trend that I'd take advantage of is LEATHER skirts and tops because they'll last you a lifetime but also high/low hems and pleated pieces.

He: What will be the big thing for Donna Mizani Fall? Winter? Spring?

Cut outs, always cut outs.

He: One piece of clothing you cannot live without?

Hmm, if heels.  Any pair of high heels.  I love Jeffrey Campbell.  Otherwise I love the fur vests from Donna Mizani Holiday 2011, I anticipate wearing mine all the time, fur is easy to mix and match.  Although I design clothing, I'm big on accessories too!

He: What is the biggest mistake people make in fashion?

Following too many trends.

He: In your opinion, whats the biggest "fashion faux pas?"

Playing it safe.  As long as you're taking risks, you're good.

He: Whats the best advice you can give the readers about style and fashion?

Do what feels right for you.  Don't follow a trend if it's not "you", but also take risks and don't be afraid to make mistakes, experiment, etc.

He: Are granny panties ever acceptable?

Everyone has their "days", so if you're having a "day" then sure. Granny panties are better than no panties!

He: He believes heels are a must, what are you thoughts?

Love heels, but there are definitely some girls who can pull off flats regularly.  If you're one of those girls then more power to you!

He: Even though your clothing is worn by tons of celebrities already, if you could have your clothes appear on the floor of one celebrity sex tape, who's would it be?

I love this question!  Depends if it's a pre-existing sex tape.  Of the sex tapes that are already floating around, I'd obviously say the "One Night in Chyna" sex tape.  JUST KIDDING.  But if I could get my clothes on any celebrity - I'd love to see how Lady GaGa would style it.   I feel like everyone answers Lady GaGa so...maybe see how someone unconventional would look?  Can you imagine Betty White in Donna Mizani?!

He: What does the future hold for Donna Mizani?

So much.  We're just getting started. 

He: Any famous last words?

She loves he.
