I like writing about “wearable” designers – Nanette Lepore, Tory Burch and the likes. The clothes are reachable for many, in terms of price, and usually, the looks are at least somewhat workable on various body types. Milly by Michelle Smith (aka “Milly”)is no different. While some of the looks are a little more on […]
Once again, Hervé Léger provided the audience with the typical, bodycon looks. Ranging from below-the-knee dresses to shorter pieces and some body suits, there really isn’t that much of a deviation, save for a few select styles (namely the fringey skirts). No surprise, of course. It’s the signature, after all. Therefore, it’s probably better to […]
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 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. […]
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 […]
Many of us here in Toronto are too busy covering TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) to really write about New York Fashion Week, but I’ve decided to juggle both and post this piece about the Hervé Léger Spring/Summer 2014 collection. I love Hervé Léger. Max and Lubov Azria and their team manage to put together […]
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 […]
And like previous seasons, DelectablyChic! will be covering some of the shows remotely (watching online), including BCBG, Nanette Lepore and Tory Burch. We are hoping to post a review of at least one show a day. Will you be watching any of the shows? Which designer are you most looking forward to seeing? Or will […]
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 […]
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 […]
