I had a chance to meet designer Alexandre Herchcovitch during an HP presentation of his Designer Series laptop at the Style Coalition Lounge earlier this year. The man is a genius and so incredibly sweet. Not only does he design incredibly feminine and fun clothing, but he’s also part of Project Runway Brazil, where he [ Read More ]
The time has come: there’s no grander spectacle than New York Fashion Week, specifically Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week (the events specifically held at the tents during New York Fashion Week. ) It starts this Thursday, September 6th. Eight days worth of shows, presentations, events, after parties and a dizzying array of commitments and attractions that boggle the [ Read More ]
As a long, LONG time fan of Gwen Stefani, I was excited to see this presentation. In Stefani’s absence this year (she was in L.A. during the showing,) the collection was shown in the Box tent, which is a smaller presentation venue. However, I’m not sure if word that Stefani wasn’t there hadn’t spread or [ Read More ]
Before I tell you about the DKNY Spring 2012 Collection, I have to tell you about the significance of why this show was more important to me than most of you would realize. I moved to New York in July of 2001 and two months later, an event would occur that would change my personal [ Read More ]
The Lela Rose show is always a big event every season, with a long, LONG line to get in and an uncomfortable wait to see the collection. Having covered backstage (a post on which will come later) and now standing in line to get in (standing in line hurts by Day Four,) I held onto [ Read More ]
I had a chance to take in Son Jung Wan’s presentation last season and was so impressed with her stylish and feminine creations that I took great interest in her Spring 2012 collection. I wasn’t disappointed. For next year’s turn to warmer temperatures, Son Jung Wan took us to the Isle of Capri and gave [ Read More ]
I love a good gown, people. I am a party frock/evening gown/drip me in jewels kind of person, which is why there are certain designers whose shows I enjoy every season for delivering beautiful confections at which I marvel and think about what I would wear someday if I were to, say, get married or [ Read More ]
Vivienne Tam is known for her amazing ability to combine her cultural references with beautiful, feminine designs that delight pretty much any wardrobe. For her Spring 2012 collection, Tam took us into a Zen garden full of sand, orchids, greenery and water for a collection that was rather lovely to behold. I’m a fan [ Read More ]
Contributor Ashley Parker took in the Rebecca Taylor collection. Here’s her recap and review: Easy and flirty, designer Rebecca Taylor’s Spring 2012 collection started with a mix of nudes and blushes splashed with citrus pops on flowy frocks, slouchy sweaters and asymmetrical cuts. Inspired by her favorite artworks from the Louve, Taylor added a [ Read More ]
Getting the invitation to Ruffian this year was one of those unexpected surprises that just make me smile. I loved the chance to watch designers Brian Wolk and Claude Morais in action. The designing duo spent quite a bit of time in Saratoga Springs, which inspired a love of all things jockeys and horse racing. [ Read More ]
