PRE-FALL 2010 COLLECTIONS...Part 1
CHANEL - ZAC POSEN



A Shang-hai Surprise from the esteemed House of Chanel...

I have decided that, as the interim collections - both Pre-Fall and Resort - are now becoming more and more important, and widespread amongst the fashion designers of this world, I am going to start featuring my red carpet picks from them both, as well as the Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter Fashion Weeks that I currently look at...
As I discovered, there was an amazingly beautiful quantity of dresses that were absolutely red carpet-worthy, and probably will be chosen before the awards season is finished..
In Part 1, I have included the red carpet dresses from all the designers who had the usual small preview-style collection for Pre-Fall...in the second part, I have taken three designers for whom the title Pre-Fall appears to mean another full-size major collection, and therefore warrant a longer look...

Hey, are you one of the photographers on this list, or know of them, or have they taken photos of you?
Before we had ACS, we had a cosplay photographer list to help tag photographers. But now with ACS, we're planning on phasing this old list out in favor of our ACS list. What does this mean?
It's high time you encouraged your photographer friends to sign up for ACS accounts. They just need to set up the initial account so their name will remain on our drop down list of photographers. If you like having them on that list, then bug them to join. If not, you'll still be able to just write them in. Perhaps you're such a GOOD friend that you can set up the ACS account for them, transfer it over and upgrade them.... for Christmas... tee hee.
Here's the instructions: http://acparadise.livejournal.com/28492.html

Why would they want to establish ACS account?
1. Show up on the drop down list of photographers for easy crediting
2. Reverse tracking on photos, photographers can track which ACP/ACE cosplayers have used their photos.
Example: check out Lionel http://www.acparadise.com/acs/display.php?a=40102 253 cosplayers use his photos, with more detailed information on the control panel on which photos were actually used.
3. Contribute to convention coverage, where other people sort out your pictures for you by cosplayer and series.
4. Photos are viewed on a site that is specifically catered to cosplay.
And plenty more reasons!

Here's the list of photographers that aren't represented on ACS and are at risk for phase out. Spread the word, it'd be a shame to lose out on their pre-existing stats that we already have on them.

First of all, thanks to oshidori and caloris for sending ACP some LJ Upgrade coupons for our account! (which had just expired) <3

Next, we have some cleaning to do, this time on videos section. (you can report mis-cat photos as well if you want).
If you find a video that has the wrong cosplayer info (you were tagged and you're not in that video, it's your team but some weirdo is tagged in your skit, etc)
Or there is a wrong series attached to your video, here's your chance to reply to this post we can clean it up for the new year!

We need:
1. Link to video in question.
2. What's wrong with it.
(The Katsucon 2009 Hetalia video is already reported, and we're tracking down the people who mistagged it since it seems to be intentional)

Our friends at FUNimation bring you their Christmas Edition of Always Be Cosplaying, featuring ACP Cosplayers! (Remember this great series of articles is what brought you MOE Henry)
