Wildfox Couture’s presentation came alive with models dancing on platforms in silk and sequined dresses, while some had bobs of pink or mint hair, while others waved feather boas around to the tunes of Frank Sinatra, making it feel more like a New York party of yore rather than a fashion show. A brand known for their witty t-shirt slogans,we couldn’t help but notice one model’s shirt with the phrase “How Bad Can A Good Girl Get?” — that question certainly was visibly clear throughout the rest of the looks. Although there was a certain art deco/Great Gatsby-theme in the air, the clothes that would have caused disapproving looks from the more conservative public in the 1920s, will now provoke looks of envy from others who want to get their hands on these fun and flirty pieces.

The Show: Kimberly Ovitz Fall 2013
The Theme: Futuristic Grunge
The Color Palette: Black, silver metallic, with colorful “hallucinatory” tie-dye prints
Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look:
Look 19: A grunge take on a women’s skirt-suit, the matching blot print jacket and skirt were coupled with a textured black moto vest. Paired with futuristic snake-like pin curls, this look is representative of the Kimberly Ovitz Fall ’13 collection: innovative and otherworldly, a play between light and dark.
Look 4: A chic tie-dye print flowed beautifully with super sleek hair, black leather booties, and slithering accessories. The expertly-draped gown was paired with Kimberly Ovitz with SHAPEWAYS 3-D printed jewelry that snaked up the wrist and ear lobe. The overall look was inspired by microscopic views of scales, exoskeletons, and squid ink.

I usually remember to do my outfit photo of the day…at the end of the day. Oops. Luckily, I coerced my friend Amber Kallor to take this pic just after I had my hair done at the lovely Garnier Blow Out Bar private cocktail party, located on the 2nd floor of the Time Warner Center, and now open to the public for blow outs and hairdos Feb 8th and 9th.
Here’s a quick rundown of my look today, which I absolutely LOVED:
Collar Necklace, Ring, Earrings, and Bracelets, all by, and courtesy of, Sorrelli

Moto Fleece Jacket (four years old! from Forever 21)

The annual The Heart Truth Red Dress Collection that kicked off New York Fashion Week aimed at raising awareness of heart disease and to encourage women to lead a more heart healthy lifestyle. This year’s show featured an assortment of women from all industries, from celebrities like Kelly Osbourne, to Olympic athletes like gymnast Gabrielle Douglas and anchors such as CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, who all looked stunning in red dresses made by designers such as Zac Posen, Carolina Herrera and Reem Acra among others.
The model who got the most applause of the night was the show’s first non-celebrity participant Cindy Parsons, who has become a model of heart health in her Connecticut community by decreasing her blood pressure, losing 77 pounds and 12 inches off her waist through her commitment to the Heart Truth funded program Follow the Fifty: Models of Heart Health. When the show was over, the audience was left with a sense of awe not only from the beautiful clothes and famous faces, but also from the powerful message of protecting one’s heart, and overall health by taking preventive steps now.
