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 […]

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 […]

Marc Jacobs goes BIG for Fall/Winter 2012

Wow, all I can say is WOW.  Marc Jacobs’ Fall/Winter collection was definitely a production.  With steps leading down to a raised, curved runway (set design by Rachel Feinstein), that some might say was inspired by Dr. Seuss, the presentation was definitely all out big, including the clothes themselves.  Most interestingly was the music.  For […]

Hervé Léger F/W2012-2013: The Equestrian Warrior Biker Chick

Some may call Hervé Léger by Max Azria the same old, season after season.  After all, bandage dresses are bandage dresses, right? Wrong!  The Fall/Winter collection was definitely something.  From warrior and equestrian-inspired pieces on dresses  to fringes and a not-so subtle sophisticated biker look, the collection is definitely on the wish lists of many […]

Beautiful Blingy Jewel Tones for Rebecca Minkoff

Rebecca Minkoff’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection was all about the bling without going too far.  The collection consisted of a wide range of different looks, ranging from biker jackets to blazers, ankle-length pants, mini-dresses and winter shorts, models strutted down with the runway to a live performance with confidence reminiscent of the supermodel era of the […]

BCBG is about Neutral Colour Blocking

I am actually okay with the upcoming Fall/Winter 2012-2013 collection.  This is pleasantly surprising as the past few seasons haven’t been that great.  The fall collection is full of neutrals, with oranges continuing to be dominant.  Colour-blocking is strong as well, but it’s toned down a bit for the cooler season.  Two pieces of criticism […]

New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is Starting!

The Fall/Winter 2012 collections will be presented between February 9 and 16.  Once again, many designers will be streaming their shows online so that those of us who can’t be in New York will be able to watch.  Online shows, which include BCBGMaxAzria, Rebecca Minkoff, Carolina Herrera and Badgely Mischka will be streamed on the […]

Beautiful Blues and Oranges Dominate Milly for Spring

Bold colours are back and Milly‘s Spring/Summer 2012 collection is not without them.  With gorgeous dresses, trenches and separates, the pieces evoke every bit of elegant-yet-young-looking vibe that Milly is known for dominated in blue and orange tones with hints of lime green and specks of gold and of course, the requisite summer white.  These […]

Metallic Warriors at Hervé Léger

Like Christian Louboutin’s red soles, Hervé Léger‘s signature bandage dresses are hard to miss.  They’re very similar season after season, and one dress can last years without looking like it’s “out” (unless you’re season-obsessed).  The upcoming collection is no exception.  There seems to be a warrior theme to the collection – many shiny metallics (a […]
