Runway Report: Ralph Lauren Collection | New York Spring 2015

By

It was Ralph Lauren, straight up, olives with a twist! Olive was Lauren’s neutral canvas in this collection; acting as a backdrop to let the pungently perfect hues of purple, hot pink, yellow and orange shine. Lauren’s signature cargo, jodhpur, and safari items were all taken to the most elegant level through use of suede, satin and silk, which made it very evening. Another stunning day-to-evening look included a black crewneck sweater topping off a…

Runway Report: Tory Burch | New York Spring 2015 RTW

By

Tory Burch’s collections are always a successful fine mix of ethnic patterns made into extremely feminine and interesting takes on classic shapes. The designer said that her inspiration for this collection was Françoise Gilot, who was an artist in her own right, as well as, a lover and muse of Pablo Picasso. Burch’s collection gives us a glimpse of a woman who is refined, on the move, and an independent spirit; she has a great…

Runway Report: Sally LaPointe | New York Spring 2015 RTW

By

The Sally LaPointe Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear took very standard features for her collection and gave them a more modern touch by exaggerating their lines; the sleeves, hemlines, and necklines are flared, which give them a 3 dimensional shape. It conjured up medieval meets modern kimono. The skirts are an interesting bell-shape, which evokes a pin-up with a dramatic side ruffle, which facilitates movement. The hemlines on the tops and skirts are extended and squared, which…

Runway Report: Halston Heritage | New York Spring 2015 RTW

By

Halston Heritage Spring 2015 RTW I think the last part of the name says it all. Miriam Webster defines heritage as “something that is transmitted by, or acquired from, the predecessor; a legacy and inheritance”. I think that the most recent Creative Director at Halston, Marie Mazelis, understands what the job of transmitting Roy Halston Frowick’s legacy entails. The shapes are modern interpretations of his most successful 70’s designs; this can be seen in the…

Jeff Koons: A Retrospective

By

As the Whitney Museum of American Art gets ready to exit this building, it seems quite fitting that they would go out with a retrospective teeming with controversy, just like their move. Jeff Koons’ retrospective has over 150 pieces of work and spans from 1978-to present. Jeff Koons creates incendiary Art.  His work and subject matter have, and always will be, provocative and evocative. Koons himself is the consummate “Explorer” of commercialism and consumerism. Whether…

Taxi Shoes

By

It’s no mystery that I love platform shoes. I’m convinced I was a Geisha, or a Courtesan, or both in my other lives. Platform shoes are super comfortable; I can run around the city streets in them, I can stand in them all day long, and they transform me from 5’2″ to upwards 5’7″ instantly. Now do you see why I’m in love with platforms? That being said…of course being a Fashionista, I love a…
