Cynthia Rowley

One of the punchiest collections this season, right out the gate it was evident that this was going to be one of the most exciting displays of fashion for the season. All about texture, color, and avant garde accessorizing, Rowley. Puff, layering, and movement was emphasized in the collection, with rows of perfectly cut fringe cascading down the front and back of blouses set our hearts ablaze. Clothes for the confident woman of style were found here, but also for those willing to have a little fun with fashion, and themselves; after all, isn’t that what it should be about?

Karen Walker

A collection based on the idea ‘what if Bob Dylan and the Sound of Music got together’ Karen Walker shined with custom prints, tailored flannel, and a dash of sheepskin. Be prepared for the Austrian Alps or wind-tunnel laden streets of New York City in Walker’s retro-cool, pop-culture referenced latest creations.

Vivienne Tam

For the upcoming fall 2010 season Ms. Tam dazzles the eye with metallics, red, and ultra-chic origami silhouettes; both superfluous and restrained in their shaping. Tam knows how to work a woven garment and frilly layers to perfection.  In this abbreviated collection of just 18 looks, Vivienne Tam proves yet again that it is quality over quantity that truly matters; fast fashion are you listening?

Tory Burch Fall/Winter 2010 Collection

The Tory Burch presentation was nothing short of fabulous; the accessories and footwear were classic Tory with a slight edge — in fact everything this season seemed to skew a bit more subversive than the squeaky clean prints and well-matched style we are used to from here. Case in point – leather shorts, perforated tops and workwear -inspired lace-up boots. Each item was refined for that Tory girl that needs to dazzle in the evening, and use color for day to define her finely-tuned fashion sense.

Ecliptica Fall/Winter 2010 Collection

At Ecliptica‘s fall/winter 2010 runway show, it was easy to be impressed; the clothes were sexy and elegant with a flair of femininity and the color schemes matched black with copper, fuchsia and red.  There were sequins, flowing ruffles, draping and mesh all in the same collection.  Ecliptica’s style this season evoked beautiful flirty fun looks for the sophisticated event-goer.

Hair and makeup keyed by Javier Romero and Cesar Ramirez flowed beautifully with the designs.  The hair was slicked back to a highly- laquered shine on the sides with a soft flowy wave in either a mohawk or french twist placement.  Makeup was dramatic with the focus on a grey and black smokey eye and de-emphasized nude lip.  To bring this look off the runway, try lining your eyes with black khol liner and smudging it out using a pencil brush dipped in grey shadow for a smokey liner placement and pairing it with your favorite nude lip gloss or lipstick.

Red Market Salon Event: Beauty, Clothes, Sustainability, and More!

by

clothes rackHosted at the mod loft-turned hair salon in the West Village, Red Market combined fashion, pampering and complimentary cocktails for a diva-worthy evening. Innovative Miguelina, WWD‘s ’07 “new designer to watch” Ardistia and nostalgic Jennifer Fein previewed their spring collections, comprised of seductive silks, vintage couture and magical carefree designs. Guests eagerly sifted through the samples while waiting for either a free hair cut and learning about environmentally friendly line of Davines’ natural hair-care products or testing the Indonesian skin-care treatments from the luxurious beauty brand, Juara.

As if there weren’t enough to bankrupt estrogen-saturated shopaholics, Velvet Angels displayed its confident, “luxury-attainable” footwear that is worth subsisting on tuna for the rest of the month to own a piece of. As frosting on the delicious cake of style, Sabido & Basteris showed off their alternative jewelry line that uses natural materials to create unique timeless pieces to accent a fashion-forward style. The affair was completed with sweet sprinkles of Becca Cosmetics, founded by Rebecca, an Australian make-up artist whose products accommodate the busy lifestyle of the modern woman. And to keep the spoiled guests from feeling too self-indulgent, J. Alexander‘s book Follow A Model was auctioned off to raise proceeds for Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti fund.
