The line up consists of gorgeous cocktail tones, mostly of fruity reds, greens and yellows as well as some standard neutrals in blueish stone greys and some browns, all shown with models walking […]
Bright pink ruled Luca Luca‘s runway on Friday. From dresses to belts and even the lipstick, the shade was everywhere, giving the collection a good punch in colour, just in time for warm weather. There were also hints of gems and floral patterns as well, seen on dresses, tops as well as pants (though I’m […]
Ever notice that BCBG’s runway collection looks very different from the “regular” pieces (suits, jersey dresses and evening gowns) sold at its own boutiques and department stores? The Spring-Summer collection is probably no different, and was, once again, more unique. Most of the dresses were at least tea length, asymetrical, with strappy, sleeveless or bare […]

Cynthia Cheng Mintz Anna Sui‘s Fall/Winter 2011 collection says several things, including Woodstock Chic and shimerly shine. From hippie-inspired tunics, peasant blouses, eastern-inspired tops and wide-legged pants modelled by girls with very long, straight hair to dresses with shiny fabric, there were also pops of old world glamour with light, creamy furs. Of course, the bohemian look is not unfamilliar […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz Winter whites opened Nanette Lepore‘s Fall/Winter collection with brilliant shine, giving off a cool, yet confortable feel. With soft, flowing fabrics, there was a feeling of a beautiful winter wonderland which was emphasized even on the models’ legs with white tights.

With both work-appropriate as well as evening, the styles […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz The theme for Herve Leger by Max Azria’s Fall/Winter 2011 line was “The Glamazon” according to pre-show interviews.
