NYFW Prabal Gurung F/W 2013!

9 Feb

Prabal Gurung is a busy man as of late, his (love) Target collection launches in stores and online tomorrow and he presented his F/W 2013 collection in New York today.  The militant aesthetic consisted of strong, polished looks.  Leather belts and harnesses were everywhere and peplum was prevalent, proving indeed it is here to stay. The palette of rich navy blues, army greens and crimson were just beautiful. The gold hardware was impeccable and was carried from the clothes to the shoes – all custom-made by  Cesare Casadei!  WOW! Great strong empowering collection today, and I’m very excited to shop the frilly feminine collection tomorrow at Target!

NYFW Jason Wu F/W 2013

8 Feb

Not even a blizzard could stop Jason Wu  from filling up a beautiful Park Avenue venue to present his Fall 2013 collection Friday. Despite weather worries, a full house of spectators gazed in awe at one of the most anticipated collections of New York fashion week.  There was an essence of elegance and glamour and the clothes were sexy and sophisticated.  The mostly black a white palette included crisp collars, belted waists and pleated skirts !  I especially loved the makeup led by Lancome’s Diane Kendal, who created beautiful looks consisting of  bold indigo cat eyes with muted lips and cheeks.  This show was pretty amazing, nothing new for Mr. Wu!

Paris Couture Fashion Week 2013

24 Jan

With Paris couture fashion week coming to an end today, I must admit I feel like I’ve watched a fairy tale unfold before my eyes.  This particular fashion week which solely concentrates on haute couture pieces from fashion designers around the world, is my favorite of all fashion weeks.  I look forward to the opulent, magical, detailed pieces that come down those Parisian runways.  These are the most beautiful creations in the fashion industry all in one place; all in one week (4 days technically).  The craftsmanship is absolutely impeccable as the designers pull out all the stops to see their “dream” creations come to light.  One of these dresses can take over 2,000 hours of work to create. While many designers showcased their collections, I had four favorites- Valentino, Elie Saab, Giambattista Valli and Zuhair Murad.  These designers lived up to my ultimate fashion dreams of Paris couture fashion week!  Just beautiful!!!!!
