The Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer 2017 runway show started off with fashion MPD, a pink gold and black New York graphic and zipper detail pullover and matching skirt, a Pretty Woman dress, pop art, photo-prints, collars and leashes…it got a little “X-Rated.” In Scott fashion, there were nineties and bondage undertones contrasting Nickelodeon references. The show…

Thom Browne Spring/Summer 2017
Quirky, cute, retro chic, pretty and pastel- the Thom Browne SS17 collection was a fresh take for the designer. It’s geek chic, there’s something animated about this take on menswear turned womenswear. Um…but what the hell is that? A quilt? The styling and beauty look also added to the modernity and elevated the runway show. …
J. Mendel Spring/Summer 2017 SS17
J. Mendel Spring/Summer 2017 is fresh yet retro, modern yet ethereal, and just so chic. There’s something effortless, just a bit edgy, elegant, and beautiful about almost every look in the collection. Even those I don’t like still catch my eye in the way the cuts work so well with layering, for example. The color…
Rodarte Spring/Summer 2017 SS17
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7xpW0BAI8U] How do we feel about the Rodarte Spring/Summer 2017 collection? I feel as if it looks like Betsey Johnson, YSL’s 80’s collection and Xena had a baby…sheer polka-dot fabric gathered and ruffled, layered, draped, studded and cut out…it was 80’s Bo-peep. There is some obvious Indian and 80’s influence in the collection. I…

Red Valentino Spring/Summer 2017 RTW
The on-trend 70’s was evoked by the Red Valentino Spring/Summer 2017 RTW collection in its light wash denim; sheer graphic dresses reminiscent of Gucci’s recent collections, graphic knits and coats, in which the sun shone down on seagulls and waves; broderie anglaise- which has been shown a lot in recent seasons; bold red and white…
VFiles Spring/Summer 2017 RTW
There is always amazing talent showcased at VFiles, and this year it is no different. A pant jumpsuit…like, shoulder high pants were sent down the runway. These designers have such strong voices, such clearly defined visual styles and aesthetics- from the avant-garde to Asian inspirations. The third designer is my favorite: modern and bold with…
Nicholas K Spring/Summer 2017 RTW
Rompers, visors, silken nude and earth tones, slip dresses, so-wrongs, utilitarian bags, bold prints…the Nicholas K Spring/Summer 2017 collection might be my least favorite to date. I love the brand’s dark, modern, original and edgy aesthetic, but this feels like a watered down beachy meets 90’s show, although I do love the garments that are…
Hervé Léger Spring/Summer 2017 RTW
Hervé Léger’s Spring/Summer 2017 RTW collection featured the classic bandage dress, this time with a pleated and studded twist, among dresses that were either gorgeous and elevated or over worked. The ruffles, the tie-straps, the fur chunky heels…some of the dresses were a lot piled on top of too much, which is a design and…
