Fashion Week Day 3 Recap

by

00010m3Five more days of fashion week fabulousness to go! Below is a wrap up of Day 3 (Sunday) shows and presentations:

Herve Leger by Max Azria:

00280mBondage is taken to the next level with futuristic puffs, sharp shoulder edges, leather paillettes and metallic detailing — loved it!

Lela Rose:

Sticking to her uptown girl theme, Lela Rose showed a collection of put-together looks that remained interesting  yet classic at the same tim.

Thuy:

Loved the skirts with “hip accents”, exposed zippers, watercolor prints, and bright yellow dresses.

Karen Sabag:

Her best collection to date, Sabag meticulously worked applique into evening gowns that managed to come across as refined and incredibly beautiful.

karenAkiko Ogawa:

According to Akiko, gradients are still in, especially in darker color palettes like deep, stormy blue and navy.

Susan Cianciolo:

We went backstage to observe the hair and makeup of eco-friendly designer Susan Cianciolo, held at the Philip Pelusi Tela Salon.

e.y. Wada:

I love the idea of a prim & proper lady with a sense of humor; e.y. Wada’s girls know how to confiedently pull that off with quirky detailing like oversized star cut-out appliques.

FPD reports from Bryant Park, and the numerous other locations to bring you the best fashion week coverage imaginable. Please also check out InsidetheTents for other great fashion coverage from bloggers at fashion week.

Yigal Azrouel:

Super soft knits, futuristic batwing-sleeve dresses, and leather pailettes dresses and skirts made up a strong collection.

lindsay1BCBG MaxAzria:

Slinky was the word du jour, with heavily draped layers of jersey and silk in mostly muted hues.

Abaete:

Loved the Abaete for paylesrs heels and ankle boots draped heavily with chains – the clothes too reflected the chained motif, along with wide ruffles, jaquard, and a bit of metallics.

Charlotte Ronson

Androgyny was defined anew, with men donning high-waisted pants with a corset-like aesthetic, see through pants, and (my favorite) a blazer that instead of buttons, had a zipper closure.

Charlotte Ronson:

Despite the Lindsay Lohan media circus, this was one of Charlotte’s strongest collections to date, with a heavy dose of leather and unusual detailing like elbow and back slits built into tops and jackets.

00310mUniversity of Art:

There’s no doubt that these students are incredibly talented, with carefully engineered prints on oversized sweaters and coats being the showstoppers.

Jason Wu:

It’s nice to see that Jason Wu catered to all women, and not just the first lady in his runway collection, with a great selection of wonderful dresses, complete with incredible prints.

Fashion Pulse Daily has already begun the whirlwind week of fashion shows, so before we head off to get our beauty rest for the first official day of shows, we thought that it would be nice to give a recap of the day’s events (briefly):

Jillian Lewis: getattachment-3

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Loved the burn out leggings, the darker, somber mood, the knit maroon dress, and the incredible hair styling by Philip Pelusi.

Loris Diran:

A sign of the times– playing it safe with suits, suits, and more suits for men and women. Tailoring was integral to the collection.

Vogue & BMW Party:

Perhaps we were dressed a bit too casually, but still had a good time, and listened to some great music.

Alvin Valley:

The collection progressively got more interesting and distinctive as it went along, with the showstoppers including a softly ruffled skirt and a ultra pale green floating, layered gown.

Bring Spring to Your Winter

by

Via our lovely friends at thefind.com:

It may be a little too early to start thinking about spring-y clothes in most places, but you can integrate more warmer weather pieces into your wardrobe right now if you do it correctly! One of my favorites for the task of “bringing spring to winter” is the sequined tank. Perfectly flirty and feminine, this top can dress up any outfit, and it’s just as lovely when worn by itself with a skirt or pair of jeans when the temps do finally warm up! It’s a versatile piece as it does well layered under sweaters and suits but can stand alone as your go-to outfit you wear to the bar.

To integrate it into your wardrobe now, I would recommend the layering approach. Let it be a surprise piece peeking out from an otherwise conservative pantsuit. Pair it with a sheer, oversized v-neck sweater to show off just the right amount of sequins. It can border on “going-out” wear, so be especially careful with how you wear it to the office. But when done right – and tempered with relatively demure and staple outfits – it can work well at work, or for a night out!

And – since it’s sparkly and shiny by itself, you don’t need to worry too much about big accessories as this tank if one that speaks for itself!
