156 Days of Designers

Hi. My name is Lindsey. I'm 12. I am very into fashion. Yesterday I was looking through my January 2010 issue of Harper's Bazaar. This issue was the one with the fashion preveiws of the year and I noticed that I only knew about 1/4 of the designers. Wow. So last night I wrote down every designer in that issue. Day by day I am going to learn about each designer. I am still going to talk about the designers I know because you may not know them.

1/2/10 - 6/6/10

I am choosing the designers randomly, not by my likings.

Here we go! :-)
