BCBG Max Azria Runway: Not Short Girl Friendly – AGAIN

I think I’ve had it with BCBG Max Azria – the runway pieces, anyway.  They sell them at many their stores – especially in higher end neighbourhoods – but the pieces are almost never wearable, unless you look like a model.  And yes, the upcoming fall/winter season is no different.  The skirt lengths were, for […]

New York Fashion Week: February 6-13

New York Fashion Week starts today!  Though we will not be in New York to see the shows in person, we will be watching online and will post reviews for the Fall 2014 collections on selected designers either the day of the showing or the following day, depending on whether we catch the show live.  […]

J.Crew Spring/Summer 2014: Mix of Wearable and Shapeless Looks

Like many brands, J.Crew always creates very interesting, slightly edgier looks for their Collection line, and the upcoming Spring/Summer 2014 collection is no different.  According to a briefing, the collection was inspired by two stories, one of surfing at a California beach and another influenced by the “lido lifestyle of the Venetian coast” – think […]

BCBG’s Spring/Summer 2014 Collection – Wearable Art, Not Flattering on Most

I have to admit that I have a love-hate relationship with BCBG.  In my 20s, I would purchase at least one jersey dress a summer.  I still have most of the dresses, so my BCBG collection dates back to the early 2000s.  However, lately, the line has tried to become more “fashion-y” – even with […]

Embellished Tops and Bishop Sleeves at Tory Burch

Presented off site in what looked like a hotel ballroom, glamorous looks were definitely expected, whether it is colour saturated or basic black.  It’s always best when designers don’t over-do the black for their fall/winter lines, and this was definitely the case with Tory Burch. While there is black in the collection (there has to […]

Gorgeus Deep Shades at Carolina Herrera Don’t Disappoint

I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed by Carolina Herrera.  The looks are always gorgeous, with season-appropriate colours, and is always lady-like and grown-up.  And this continues for the Fall/Winter 2013 season.  Shiny, sparkly embellished, many made with silk, abound in this collection, but unlike other designers, the pieces manage to stay within Ms. Herrera’s […]

New York Fashion Week Catch-Up: Marissa Webb, Rebecca Minkoff and Trina Turk

It’s been a very busy schedule over the past few days with meetings and seminars, so I’m finally beginning to catch up with the goings on with New York Fashion Week thanks to modern technology and communications.  With shows not only streaming live, but archived on YouTube, it’s easy to watch shows at a later […]

BCBGMaxAzria Goes Grunge for Fall 2013

BCBGMaxAzria is heading back to the early 90s with the Fall/Winter 2013 collection.  Long loose tunics and dresses, accompanied with skinny jeans and sloppy styles gives off a grungy vibe, though definitely more updated.  The look is a little neater, more hipster, but definitely not for everyone.  Colour-wise, there is an emphasis once again, on […]

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 […]
