Referencing the artwork of Georgy Kurasov, Dana Maxx applied cubist’s preoccupation with shape and form to create pieces that are sculptural and striking in their color and composition. The collection worked on both ends of the spectrum, with half of the pieces presented in solid colors displaying different shades of pink, blue, or grey, while the latter half featured  abstract prints, whose forms blurred together like watercolors on a painter’s palette.

The idea of taking cutouts and placing them in interesting areas was another concept that emerged for the designer for this collection. One particular leather and jersey shirt was slashed at the neckline, allowing parts of the wearer’s collarbone and shoulders to be exposed. Combined together, these color-blocked, cut-out pieces are sure to turn a few heads once spring arrives.

Fall 2013 Fashion Week: What FPD Wore

by

After I did the “What FPD Wore Fashion Week Day 1” post, I decided to do things a bit differently with a composite post comprising of all of the looks from the week! Below, you’ll find what I wore on days 2 – 7 of New York Fashion Week for Fall 2013, with a special thanks to Dana-Maxx for the lovely clothing, Land’s End for the great tote, and Sorrelli for always keeping me well-jeweled and sparkly. Which day’s look is your favorite?

DAY2:

The blizzard was well on its way, so dressing appropriately for the weather was a key concern! I went for a red and beige color scheme, with the most important part of my look being the boots!

Sweater: Rodarte for Opening Ceremony; Scarf: Alexander McQueen; Jeans: NYDJ; Boots: Sorel Joan of Artic; Ring: Sorrelli King of the Jungle Cuff Ring; Bag (not pictured): Land’s End Linen & Leather Tote.

Day 3:  And…the storm came! Again being warm and bundled up with waterproof footwear is a must, but fashion week stops for nothing, so trekking on I must do! I filmed an episode of Street Peek, spent some time in the Style Coalition Influencer Lounge and later went to the Project Runway Reunion Party and Technology Panel with my friend Rebecca from Sorelli such a fun way to end the day; too bad I can’t stay out late —Sunday brings more shows and events; fashion week does not stop over the weekend! 

Jacket: Dana-Maxx; Top: J.Crew; Pants: Club Monaco; Boots: Sorel Jewelry: All by Sorrelli & MiMi by Sorrelli.

Day 4:

With plenty of snow still on the ground, there was now way I was making it through the day without a lot of layering, and once again — boots! Today was insanely busy for me, with about 7 shows and two Grammy’s parties, so I had to be looking great and ultra comfortable to last for 14 hours.

Dress: L’Amour by Nanette Lepore for jcpenney; Turtleneck: heat tech by Uniqlo; Tights; Charnos from AlexBlake.com; Boots: Sorel, Cuff Bracelet: Kate Young for Target; Necklace, earrings, and ring: All Sorrelli from the Atlantis Collection.

The week didn’t seem to slow down one bit as it went on, and today was action-packed with designer meet-and-greets at Style Coalition, shows, backstage access and interviews, and work, work, and more writing work! I was fortunate to meet designers Timo Weiland and Rafael Cennamo (and took photos with them, above), and did a video confessional live from the lounge on how my fashion week was going.

Dress: Dana-Maxx; Bolero Jacket: Narciso Rodriguez DesigNation for Kohl’s; Tights: Kushyfoot; Boots (not pictured): Cougar; Bag (not pictured): Land’s End Linen & Leather Tote; Laquer and metal orange/red bracelet: BaubleBar; Bracelets, earrings, and ring: MiMi by Sorrelli, Sorrelli Atlantis Collection, and Avant Garde by Sorrelli Aquatic Series Collection.

Day 6:

Another day of glamour and excitement, I rallied my energy and headed out the door for Day 6! Comfort is everything, and although I see plenty of ‘cab to curb’ heels at fashion week, I certainly hit the pavement hard and couldn’t rely on thinly-heeled stilettos to get me through the day! I did stop at The Daily Style Sessions Suite to take a load off and learn about some of the sponsored products while sipping on my absolute favorite – Vita Coco Coconut Water.

Dress: Dana-Maxx, Bolero: Rachel Rachel Roy, Tights: Hanes; Bag: Land’s End, Shoes: Sorel Medina Rain Heels; Eyeglasses: Vogue Eyewear for LensCrafters; Cuff: unkown; Earrings and Ring: Sorrelli and MiMi by Sorrelli.

Day 7:

And it’s a wrap! It’s been quite a week, and I can’t wait to share all of my experiences, trend, and beauty tips with you that are sure to be big come fall 2013.

Dress: Dana-Maxx, Jacket: Temperley London for Target; Tights: Spanx; Booties: Aerosoles; Jewelry: Sorrelli.

Full Disclosure: some of the items mentioned in this post were gifted to Fashion Pulse Daily.

Fall 2013 Fashion Week Day 1: What FPD Wore

by

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

Dress-courtesy of Dana-Maxx

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)

Dana-Maxx for Sculptz Inc. Tights!

by

Now that we finally have a feel for fall weather, it’s time to think tights. Sculptz Inc. announces their new collaboration with one of our personal favorite women’s ready-to-wear designers, Dana-Maxx.

The designer’s covetable feminine flair (that recently dressed editor Julia DiNardo at NYFW) can now reach a wider audience in the form of legwear. Tights maintain their reign as one of our most fancied fall accessories. What’s the simple solution to recreating your basic sheath dress? We answer: perfectly patterned tights.

The limited edition collection of coy, geometric-inspired tights is sold exclusively on Silkies.com. Available in a variety of shades including cobalt, black, ink, and nude, all tights are priced at a reasonable $18! What’s more, all of the designs are manufactured in America!

I’m envisioning a black leather skirt, Dana-Maxx Dani “Chevron” for Sculptz Inc. tights and fall’s must-have Chelsea booties. How will you draw attention to your legwear look?
