New York Fashion Week – Starts Today!

DelectablyChic! will, once again, be covering some of New York Fashion Week’s shows, which start today.  Look for write-ups and reviews of collections from BCBG MaxAzria, Tory Burch, Nanette Lepore and more.  We will attempt to review at least one show a day. Depending on our schedule and show schedules, highlights and reviews will be […]

Milly by Michelle Spring/Summer 2013

Featuring models decked out with huge goggles as glasses (something that was also featured at the Michael Kors show earlier in the day), Milly by Michelle continued to dazzle the young, fashionable crowd with a collection of dresses (many of them body-hugging) and separates filled with colourful, warm weather-ready pieces.  The palette this season includes […]

Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2013

Tory Burch’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection focuses on bright colours – citrons, blues and corals, specifically – as well as patterns and detailing, such as fringed hemlines.  Though very lively, it was at the same time, subtle enough not to be too distracting and great for warm weather-related events such as garden parties and luncheons on […]

Carolina Herrera’s Timeless Sophistication

Carolina Herrera never stops pleasing the more sophisticated crowd.  Her Spring/Summer 2013 collection, which has, according to a Tweet just prior to the show, “timeless influence,” definitely lived up to that.  With gorgeous, colourful prints as well as neutrals, these looks are bound to look great at next season’s weddings, summer fundraisers and other social […]

Marissa Webb Debuts at New York Fashion Week

Presented as an installation on Saturday, this debut collection by former J.Crew designer, Marissa Webb, is definitely influenced by her experience with the company.  Artsy, yet preppy (but not really “bohreppy” (Boho Prep)), the spring/summer 2013 looks include brightly coloured pieces, basic blacks and whites (including a white fit and flare dress that could be […]

Rebecca Minkoff’s Boho Fun Spring 2013 Collection

Warm weather-friendly brightly coloured pieces mixed with whites dominate Rebecca Minkoff’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection.  In addition, tends that were “it” in 2012 continue next season, including patterned pants. Though many of the pieces, especially the more flowy looks and soft, comfortable shorts, signal those who are young, fun and carefree – boho, if you will.  […]

Fighter-inspired BCBG Collection Lacks Colour for Spring/Summer 2013

Unlike the regular line (and especially the 2012 collections), BCBG’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection was not exactly Herve Leger Redux (seems to be a “thing” for Max Azria these days – this season, BCBG boutiques are filled with bodycon/bandage dresses that look like they were reworked from previous Herve Leger collections). The collection is filled with […]

The Ultimate Looks for NYFW and TIFF: An IFB Project

New York Fashion Week starts this coming Thursday, the same day as opening night for the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).  Both events are stylish, in cities where constant heel wearing isn’t ideal and involve a lot of celebrity sighting and perhaps even be photographed by others.  And not to mention unpredictable temperatures.  Early September […]

Pretty, Bright Colours at Nanette Lepore

What I love about Nanette Lepore is her constant use of bright, bold colours, no matter the season.  There was very little black or grey and in general, the collections tend to arguably be predictable, but one can’t help but love the fact her use of colours just brighten up a dark winter day. There […]

Chainbags and Floral Details at Tory Burch

Always with a touch of preppiness, Tory Burch’s Fall/Winter 2012-2013 collection is no exception.  Gorgeous deep reds and greens team up with blacks, greys and a touch of blue and shine for the upcoming season.  Also included were the floral detailing found in many of the looks, something that is more often seen for spring […]
