Runway Report: Fendi | Milan Fall 2019 RTW

By

The 54-year fashion collaboration between The House of Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld was truly an epic story. And this collection served as the denouement. Throughout the collection, the very high collared shirt, or some manifestation thereof, was an obvious ode to Karl Lagerfeld’s signature shirts. These were his uniform, his look, his style DNA. And this DNA ran through the entire collection. These high collared buttoned up looks were paired with menswear inspired looks, such…

Runway Report: Delpozo | New York Fall 2016 RTW

By

Joeph Font took us on a magical journey through graphic greatness. I love how the show started with a very Asian inspired kimono style jacket with an oversized OBI belted waist. The next garment morphed into a more exaggerated version of the predecessor. Each outfit throughout the collection evolved into the next. Many of the outfits were accessorized with opera length gloves, just blooming with flowers. They emerged out of the hyper-wide sleeves, providing a…

Runway Report: Reem Acra | New York Fall 2016 RTW

By

Reem Acra’s Fall 2016 RTW show was sheer brilliance! And when I say sheer, I mean most every garment was sheer in someway, shape or another. The best characteristics of the Courtiers of Europe, The Show Girls, and The Roaring Twenties Flappers all combined into one of the most sexy, breathtakingly beautiful, and impeccably detailed collections. Art Deco was clearly the inspiration here. The Art Deco influence was seen in a multitude of Geometric shapes,…

Runway Report: Cushnie et Ochs | New York Fall 2015 RTW

By

Cushnie et Ochs Cushnie et Ochs sent curve conscious clothing down the runway. Their collection this year seemed to have a lot of elements from the 30’s and 70’s, which they translated into contemporary shapes. It was tailored and sleek yet feminine and flowing. Michele Ochs and Carly Cushnie manage to have a mix of really sinuous lines that accentuate the best part of women. The clothes are completely wearable. There are some items, which…

Runway Report : Thom Browne | New York Fall 2015 RTW

By

Thom Browne: New York Runway | Fall 2015 RTW Thom Browne’s latest fall 2015 collection brought Showtime’s Penny Dreadful to mind.  The late Victorian Era is often referred to as “The Cult of Mourning”.  This is due to the fact that Queen Victoria’s late husband Prince Albert was the love of her life and after his death, she spent the rest of her life, which spanned 4 more decades mourning him. This meant wearing all…

Runway Report : Alexander Wang | New York Fall 2015 RTW

By

Alexander Wang: New York Runway | Fall 2015 RTW “I’ll stop wearing black when they invent a darker colour.”   Wednesday Addams. One can’t help but think that if Wednesday Addams was a grown-up this is what she would look like in present day. Cool, powerful, mysterious, dark, interesting with a bit of Punk, Goth and Heavy-Metal all mixed up. I loved this show. I like to be transported, which Alexander Wang does through the uniformity of his…
