Inspired by the Catalan region of Spain, the Pink Tartan’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection is filled with bright, casual pieces that give off the vibe of a fun vacation abroad.

World MasterCard Fashion Week: Day 1 and 2 Highlights
Pink Tartan: I have a love-hate relationship with this line, and have so for the past few seasons. I love LOOKING at the outfits, but they tend to be very heavy and don’t work well on shorter women with very small frames – most pieces are next to impossible to alter without changing the shape […]
World MasterCard Fashion Week: Highlights from Day 1
Fashion Week kicked off with MIZ (see post for more details on this collection), followed by Chloe comme Parris’s collection that was inspired by the 1990s (really, is it retro already?).

Pretty in Pink Tartan and Rebellious Disco Chic
Kimberly Newport-Mimran’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection featured her signature full skirts and timeless, preppy pieces. However, there was a twist.

Well, it’s that’s a wrap. The Spring/Summer 2012 collections are now over and boy, it was an amazing week. A new location which takes us back tents gave it more of a fashion week feel.
