What FPD Has Been Up to Lately

by

Decades Denim

We recently celebrated the launch of some fab new styles from jeans experts Decades Denim. With stock in over 150 stores nationwide, it won’t be hard to get your hands on your own pair. The styles are all named; some after denim icons who have inspired designer Cameron Silver, like the Marilyn, and are geared to provide every woman with not just another pair of jeans, but a wardrobe staple.

Industry Press Preview

Earrings from Afaze, necklace by Brandy Pham

With a quick tour through the Industry Press showroom, we’re excited about several spring collections. Look to Brazilian designer Iodice for sultry draping and ruching on Grecian dresses. Kasil Jeans has collaborated with former “Rachel Zoe Project” star Taylor Jacobson to create easy skinny cargo jeans, seersucker slacks, and casual jeggings. The eco-chicsters can check out Stewart + Brown for organic knits, harem pants, and slouchy tanks. Fans of Claire’s and the accessories section of Forever 21 can hit up Afaze, a line of super affordable glam fashion jewelry, while Vietnamese-American jewelry designer Brandy Pham was inspired by every day life to bring us baubles full of gleaming metal, sparkle, and shine in an affordable price range of $28-$158.

MCM

We were fèted in the gorgeous penthouse of the Cooper Square Hotel by German luxury handbag line MCM, who celebrated their 35th anniversary by doing some exciting partnerships with renowned SATC stylist Patricia Field and contemporary artist Craig Redman. Field has added her touch to the line’s large canvas shopper, putting a face designed by one of her favorite artists, Martine, on the reversible bag. The port city of Shanghai was the inspiration for artist Craig Redman’s input, as he infused the bags with a colorful rope pattern that’s fun and whimsical.

Exposure PR Press Day

The Exposures PR Press Day clued FPD into what to look forward to from several fashionista favorites, including Fred Perry and his collaboration with Amy Winehouse, Isaora, DC, Nice Collective, Delphine Charlotte Parmentier, In Case, Levi’s, Globe-Trotter Luggage, Frank Tell, and Graeme Armour. Expect contemporary fabrics with a vintage feel, heavy leather, ethereal jewelry, streetwear that can transition straight to the slopes, and artistic laptop and iPad cases.

Sex and the City 2 Style Trends

by

How fabulous was Sex?! Full of fun, friendship and, of course, fierce fashion, Sex and the City 2 was one big extravagant party. The return of Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) did not fail to live up to expectation with martini -sipping and a penchant for amazing heels  in this splashy sequel shot in Morocco. Thanks to the featured ‘Abu Dhabi’ getaway, the fab four indulged in warm weather and Middle Eastern-inspired styles,  a trend you should be looking out for this summer! Here’s how to get the high fashion of Sex and the City 2 without having to marry a rich guy or own a PR firm:

1) Maxi Dresses

The long Maxi dress was  very popular in SATC 2 as well as a favorite from last summer season. Easy, breezy and versatile, a dress like Alloy’s Halter Maxi, $29.90-$31.90, is sure to add a pop of sexy glamour to practically any event this summer — from an outdoor wedding  or to a weekend barbecue.

2) Ball Gown Skirts

Not exactly understated but oh so fierce! My absolute favorite outfit in SATC 2 had to be Carrie’s purple ball gown skirt and tiny Dior t-shirt because it was the perfect mesh of simple and over-the-top. Make your own luxe outfit with Victoria’s Secret’s Long Skirt in Beach Linen, $39.50



3) Metallic Accessories

What’s an outfit without accessories? Pile them on with stacked bracelets like Forever 21’s Avignon Bracelet Set, $6.80 and statement necklaces such as the Venus Lure from Banana Republic, $79.50.

The Whole World is Going Sex and the City 2 Crazy!

by

The past few weeks my inbox has been flooded by what the fab foursome from SATC  eat and drink  to what they wear and type on. What are the noted brands, and how you can get the look is the topic du jour, and while checking my yahoo account, I noticed this article: Key Character Missing from ‘Sex and The City 2’: Carrie’s Mac. HP has partnered with SATC 2, hence you will only see Hewlett-Packard computers in the sequel. Since I’ve worked with the HP team in the past, I’ve got the scoop on the computers as well as the new ‘Computer is Personal Again” campaign, featuring Sarah Jessica Parker.

HP recently unveiled a global marketing collaboration with Warner Bros. Pictures that spotlights “tech couture,” and celebrates HP’s spring collection of products via New Line Cinema’s “Sex and the City 2” film. HP’s fashionable PCs, including the Vivienne Tam digital clutch, will be making an appearance in the movie, as you know, but also check out the ad campaign, and gather up your girlfriends and buy your tickets now for SATC2 (premiering nation-wide May 27th).

Stay tuned for more SATC 2 posts and my coverage from the HP pre-screening next week!
