PF FLYERS Turns 75 and Celebrates with an Anniversary Collection

by

I was excited to celebrate the birthday of PF Flyers, which turns 75 this year – what a feat! And what a fete- the event lauded the brand and its strong heritage, as well as fun American food and libations, with a craft beer created just for the anniversary party (75 bottles to be exact). The celebration was honored with a Limited Edition 75th Anniversary capsule collection, and party goers also got to make cork coasters stamped with the company’s logo as well as view old advertising and the many pieces that come together to make the PF in PF Flyers (which stands for posture foundation, referencing the insole).

Shop the brand’s archival reisssues online, as well as new arrivals in fun patterns, prints, and colorways – which style is your favorite?

Fuchsia is Perfect for Spring

by

Seriously! Loving the new hue of it, that has just a touch of purple in it. I hit Park Avenue for a quick photo opp in front of the new spring art installations and of course found one to match my look! I painted my fingers and ties to match the foliage in my shirt design, but it also popped well against the freshly planted tulip stems.  This look was based around my brand new Not Your Daughter’s Jeans Alisha Skinny Jeans in Fuchsia, which I think I’m going to get lots of wear out of this spring/summer.

I think fashion designers are like Spider Man. With great fashion power comes great responsibility – a responsibility to not look like a fashion victim and disappoint your fans and customers.

Aldo RISE: Designer Collaborations for SS12

by

Faster by Mark Fast “Cregger”

JW Anderson “Weatherbee”

Aldo RISE, the latest collaboration endeavor between Aldo and innovative, fresh design talent, is an ascent into fashion-forward footwear for Spring 2012.

Meet the designers working with Aldo to turn their visions into being, a deed designers only dream of: JW Anderson, Faster by Mark Fast, Christian Cota, Cushnie Et Ochs, Libertine, and Preen.

The name of the game is presence, as each designer creates a unique look all their own. For instance, the stiletto makes a sharp comeback with JW Anderson’s Weatherbee ($155), an unbeatable look for a night out on the town. While, Mark Fast’s platform Cregger pump ($155), available in both patent and suede, is both sexy and bright, standing out in an entirely different way.

Libertine “Allor“

Preen “Paider”

Libertine’s printed wedge Allor platform ($155) is the love child of rebellion and practicality, an ideal look with spring’s fantastic dresses, skirts and shorts. Or try Preen’s color blocked Paider heels ($155) to transition you from the office to date night. Romantic and feminine, these are spot-on  with spring’s pastel trend craze.

To shop, click here. Each designer certainly “rises” to the occasion!
