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 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 […]
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 […]
Earlier this week, DelectablyChic! marked five years online. Well, it isn’t exactly five years as we published under another name – Prospere Magazine – between January 2008 and September 2010. The purpose when we launched was to have an online publication (marketed at that time as a “blogzine”) for smart, sophisticated women – a site […]
Joe Fresh has done it for many seasons and Express closed out the week this time, but is there a place for brands like that at Fashion Week? To some, having mass markets show at Fashion Week defeats the purpose – it isn’t really “fashion,” while to others would say both lines are “accessible” by […]
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’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 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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
