The Show: Lisa Perry Fall/Winter 2013
The Theme: Nostalgic style with modern applications
The Color Palette: Black and white; blue and black; and pink, purple, and blue are the primary color combinations.
The Inspiration: The geometric shapes, hypnotizing swirls, poka-dots and of course the iconic oversized dot is inspired by Perry’s love for everything ’60s, however, this upcoming collection, “mazes, twists, & doodles,” is also inspired by the doodles of Perry herself.
The vibrancy of this collection is expressed even before entering the shop, with a model posing as a mannequin in the front window of the Lisa Perry Madison Avenue store. Both the dresses and skirts are sculpted to have a structured look, while keeping with a modern feminine flare. What is truly lovely about the collection is its wearability factor and the reversible poka-dot to plaid jackets and dress that stole the show. All of these pieces can be worn for a fun, yet sophisticated, look while being transformed into a night piece.
P.S.–The makeup worn by the models mimicked the ’60s signature bold eye. The makeup was created by Gucci Westman, the Global Artistic Director for Revlon, and used: Revlon ColorStay 16H Eyeshadow Quad in Free Spirit from The Spring/Summer ’13 Collection by Gucci Westman, $7.49 (available April 2013) and Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen in Blackest Black, $8.99

The Show: Nicholas K Fall 2013
The Theme: Unisex is best
The Color Palette: Sand, olive, charcoal, muted cobalt
The Collection’s Signature Look: No one does layers better than Nicholas K — no one. This season proved that the masters of the cool downtown draped look have returned to claim their thrown, and the layering pieces, from cropped ponchos to long scarf-like shawl sweaters and slouchy, Dolman sleeves can be swapped between him and her. From day to evening options, every single pieces stays within the Nicholas K. framework of approachable wearibility, making even a fur trimmed long coat casual.

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)
Nylon Ruffle Bag (several years old), courtesy of Felix Rey
Suede Wedge boots (not pictured) from Aerosoles)
