During the month of February we see hearts and the color red everywhere we turn, but in the world of fashion these staples take on a different meaning. Now in its 11th year, The Heart Truth campaign is continuing to make efforts in their mission of raising awareness for heart disease in women with its annual Red Dress Collection fashion show on February 6th. Previous shows have featured celebrities such as Gloria Estefan, Rebecca Romijn and Heidi Klum walking the runway in red gowns created by renowned designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Marchesa, Jason Wu and many more. Through the support of Hollywood and the fashion world, the Red Dress has become a recognizable symbol in the fight against heart disease and has aided in the organization’s goal of educating and encouraging women to lead a healthier lifestyle and to take earlier action to reduce their risk of heart disease.

From our friends at thefind.com:
The next winter Olympics may still be a full year away, but while we wait, we can get ready for the festivities by reaping the benefits of the latest athletic-inspired trend – skater dresses! Inspired by the sporty-feminine silhouette of an ice skater uniform, the skater dress is defined by its fitted bodice, flouncy skirt, and how-high-can-you-go hemline, which make this trend flirty, feminine, fun, and easy to wear. From rocker-chic faux leather and winter-friendly sweater dresses to spring-ready prints, this trend is transition-friendly enough to work for multiple seasons, day-to-night occasions, and a variety personal styles depending on your choice of accessories. Plus, if you were like me and dressed up as Nancy Kerrigan for Halloween in 1st grade (guilty!), this trend is your second chance at perfecting the look, embarrassment-free!

The fashion world has always had an air of exclusivity where only a select few are able to participate in the events. But now all of that is changing; for anyone who has ever admired the spectacle that is the catwalk from afar, the opportunity to attend a runway show with a seat reserved for you is a dream come true. Now through American Express, anyone who is a card member can take advantage of the opportunity to attend New York Fashion Week by purchasing seats at select shows.
Members have the option to be present at shows held at Lincoln Center or to discover the talents of emerging designers at MILK Studios. This venture is even being explored by the notable fashion designer Carolina Herrera, who in collaboration with Harper’s Bazaar is exclusively offering American Express card members the chance to attend a cardmembers-only Spring 2013 runway show on February 14th, featuring 50 men’s and women’s looks, and then shop select looks from the collection styled by Bazaar online.
