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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
So New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week started yesterday, presenting collections for the upcoming Fall/Winter 2012 season. As with previous seasons, many of the shows were streamed online, including BCBGMaxAzria. Though I really like the colour blocking, palette and found the designs to be better than past seasons, the skirt lengths, as usual, were really more […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Though the unofficial start of fall has just begun (and not even started calendar-wise), the thought of spring and summer has already gone through the minds of the fashion world. The opening show of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York was Nicholas K Studio. For Spring/Summer 2012, the women’s (and men’s) collection is full of […]
As someone of Chinese descent, books about people with similar backgrounds often interest me. When I was sent an email author Jean Kwok’s publicist regarding her 2010 novel, , I replied quickly with interest. The story centres around a young girl, Kimberly Chang, who emigrates to New York City with her mother in what seems […]
