Fashion Week

September 16, 2015

What I Wore: NYFW Look 3

by Julia DiNardo

fashionpulse fashion week 2016
Personal style at fashion week, for me, has a bit to do with making a good impression, but more importantly, feeling at ease. I’d never not want to feel like myself there, but more like an enhanced version of myself, and perhaps capitalize on an opportunity to wear something that I don’t every day. I enjoy wearing something by a designer whose show I will be attending that day, and in this case, it was Mara Hoffman. I love her prints, easily recognizable, and fall into the category of simply gorgeous, not flashy. She also picks the best silhouettes to display them on, and this tunic dress made me feel at ease on a hot day, in which one still had to maintain some stylish decorum.

There’s no denying that this print stole the show for my outfit, and I did the best to compliment it with colors and shapes in my accessories that would accentuate, not deter, from the dress. Mission accomplished? I’d like to think so…

NYFW FALL 2013: Through the Editor’s Lens, Part III

by Julia DiNardo

mercedes-benz fashion week[Inside of the tents there was a photo opportunity with these fabulous, and literal, “fashion plates”!]

Part III here we go! As I share my show, backstage, and lounge access, I’m still astonished by all that I did and saw in a week’s time!
look inside my land_s end bagMy Land’s End tote bag (pictured above) is overflowing with my fashion week musts, ranging from the essential Rosebud Lip Salve to multiple charger (with my Boostcase Hybrid, which kept my phone alive), my Intel ThinkPad, Lumix camera, sunnies, a bevy of backstage passes and crednitals, winter hat, notebook, snacks, and more!

in the photographer_s pit

 Do you find it glamorous to be a fashion week photographer? If so, here’s a look at the ‘pit,’ where they have to squat in a tiny space for the duration of the show. Still interested in being one? Let’s hope you’re not claustrophobic!

backstage glow

The glow of the blue lights backstage, seconds before the light comes on, the music blasts, and the first model walks out.

For a show that is supposed to “start” at 3pm, here’s the view from my perch at 3:15; as you can tell, most people are “fashionably late!”.

tracy reese

The Tracy Reese fall 2013 collection is based on a New York City girl, so naturally, the set includes a traffic light and ‘cement’ flooring. As the engineers put the last of the tiles into place on the runway, the ‘house’ is anxiously waiting to open. Completion time: 1:55pm; Showtime: 2pm– welcome to the world of fashion shows!

clover canyon shoes

Shoes backstage at Clover Canyon — aren’t these just incredible? Made specifically for the show, these dazzling pumps were made by hand, by embellishing a pair of J.Crew heels — how splendid! Inspired by the Russian Ballet, there were even bedazzled ballerina shoes, that some models were displaying, on pointe!

spanx bodysuit spanx swimwear

I stopped by the Spanx suite duringf fashion week to check out their newest products, with favorite pieces including the pictured ultra-sexy black bodywear piece that has versatile strap options, and the swimsuit with an intrinsic knot design. Also on display were other categories including legwear, active wear, and even Spanx for men!

Kicking it at a breakfast and then a show (Michael Kors!!!) with my buds from TRESemmé, I learned about the latest products added to their armada of awesomeness and affordibility, including the Keratin Infusing Hair Serum along with Keratin Heat Protection Shine Spray, Shampoo, and Conditioner, Platinum Strength products to repair damage and replenish strands, and my personal favorite — the reformulated Fresh Start Dry Shampoo, which I use on a pretty steady basis of every other day. Jeanie Syfu, TRESemmé stylist, also presented two hair looks she created this season, the graceful ribbon hair tie look at Jenny Packham, and the ultra straight, blunt ‘do for Rebecca Minkoff (pictured above).

A very realistic view from the backstage, with master stylist Orlando Pita!  Snapped backstage at Carolina Herrera, we have a model on a phone, Pita cracking a smile as he explains the steps, and an assistant aiding in the process.

wigs at betsey johnson

Wigs!! Spotted backstage at Betsey Johnson! Rodney Cutler created the look, that involved securing the wig to a ponytail with an elastic, and basically just having fun with the movement and  zany assorted colors.

backstage at helmut lang backstage at helmut lang

Backstage at Helmut Lang, I got the look lowdown from Hannah Murray of NARS Cosmetics, who created a creamy complexion look based on amazing skin, with either stark, or muted eyebrows for the models. Essie created a matte, natural nail, while Paul Hanlon did 90’s mussed up sexy hair. I also love peeking at the clothes on the racks backstage; it’s truly a wonder how they come to life, and look completely different, on a body!

eyewear at fashion week i drink A LOT of vita cocoToward the end of the week, I need to give my eyes a break, so my new cat eye frames from LensCrafters did the trick, while I stayed hydrated and full of Vitamin C with the ultra-delish Vita Coco! I know some people are obsessed with the different coco flavors, but I am strictly an original-formula girl.

NYFW FALL 2013: Rafael Cennamo

by Julia DiNardo

The Show: Rafael Cennamo Fall 2013

The Theme: Versailles’ Hall of Mirrors

The Color Palette: Gold

Collection’s Signature Standout Look: Rafael Cennamo’s Fall  collection has us entering a golden age of fashion. For his presentation, the models stood out so brightly in the dark room that it was truly mesmerizing. Golden satin, lace, taffeta,  cashmere knits and layers upon layers of shimmering tulle weren’t exempt from the gilt treatment. Atop a few of the model’s heads were ornaments of clockwork and ornate headwear that the designer created using 3D printing that paid homage to the passage of time, a cited source of inspiration for Cennamo.

The presentation allowed show attendees to really get a close look at the intricate embroidery, draping and the different textures of each breathtaking piece. One covetable look in particular was a one shouldered embroidered lace dress that flared out at the bottom into a full skirt of tulle. It seems as though Rafael Cennamo took a page out of the tale of King Midas and decided to turn everything he touched to gold. Only in Cennamo’s case, the end results are certainly much more fortunate — and fabulous.

The Show: Lisa Perry Fall/Winter 2013

The Theme:   Nostalgic style with modern applications

The Color Palette:  Black and white; blue and black; and pink, purple, and blue are the primary color combinations.

The Inspiration: The geometric shapes, hypnotizing swirls, poka-dots and of course the iconic oversized dot is inspired by Perry’s love for everything ’60s, however, this upcoming collection, “mazes, twists, & doodles,” is also inspired by the doodles of Perry herself.

The vibrancy of this collection is expressed even before entering the shop, with a model posing as a mannequin in the front window of the Lisa Perry Madison Avenue store. Both the dresses and skirts are sculpted to have a structured look, while keeping with a modern feminine flare. What is truly lovely about the collection is its wearability factor and the reversible poka-dot to plaid jackets and dress that stole the show.  All of these pieces can be worn for a fun, yet sophisticated, look while being transformed into a night piece.

P.S.–The makeup worn by the models mimicked the ’60s signature bold eye.  The makeup was created by Gucci Westman, the Global Artistic Director for Revlon, and used: Revlon ColorStay 16H Eyeshadow Quad in Free Spirit from The Spring/Summer ’13 Collection by Gucci Westman, $7.49 (available April 2013)  and Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen in Blackest Black, $8.99
