Return to Parsons: Fashion Design Career

I’ve finally relocated to NYC after a 19-years-long journey in the pursuit of my career in Fashion Design. It isn’t easy to break into the fashion industry- with every job having nearly 100 applicants or more, and the required skillsets and experience to be inducted into it, it is a highly competitive and sought after…

New York Fashion Week Fall 2022 NYFW

New York Fashion Week (NYFW) Fall 2022, beginning on my birthday of course, featured a wide variety of fabric selections and silhouettes, and was predominately well-tailored, highly wearable, and glamorous with some designers focusing on originality and innovative ways of reinventing staples such as the anorak or parka. Leather, sequins, shearling, shear embellished lace, metallic…

Couture Du Jour: Spring 2022

Couture Du Jour: Spring 2022 Although fashion has taken on a brave new face after the pandemic, leading to more avant-garde and unusual looks being presented in ready-to-wear collections, couture is where it’s at if you suffer from fashionphilia and are looking for the innovative, fashion-forward, laboriously embellished, and detailed garments that exude such opulence…

Mens Fall 2022

Men’s Fall 2022 is the most exciting season for menswear since the dandy movement years ago– as menswear has remained unchanged for well over a century, it’s high time we have at least a fraction of the options our female counterparts have in fashion. It’s about time menswear shed the basic-bitch mold it cast itself…

Christopher John Rogers Pre-Fall 2022

Christopher John Rogers was fun and playful for Pre-Fall 2022, from the interesting dart-manipulation to the prints and unusual silhouettes. The color palette was highly saturated…

Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2022

Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2022 was seemingly a send-off to the late Virgil Abloh, with veiled caps and bucket-hats: Abloh’s designs sought to subvert fashion and its gender bias, as made evident by the kilts and men’s skirts. The standout looks and pieces from the collection include the Damier suit, aforementioned veiled hats, prints, signature chains,…

Dior Men’s Pre-Fall 2022: Beatnik “Shape In a Drape”

Dior Men’s Pre-Fall 2022 Fashion Show was Beatnik Heavy with the Kerouac prints, featuring a supple leather trench coat and shearling aviator jacket, waxed twill trench coat, loads of knits, and lustrous velvet trousers and Fair Isle knit paillette beanies sure to make an “everything plus” fella look like a “shape in a drape.” The leather…

Moschino Pre-Fall 2022 Circus Chic or Circus Freak?

Moschino Pre-Fall 2022- Circus Chic or Circus Freak? Comment Below! The wacky color palette and bold prints, especially in the pieces at the start of the presentation, feel a bit too literal- but that’s Moschino’s aesthetic, of course. I feel like some of the pieces are wearable, for example, the chevrons, solids, and stripes, but…

Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2022

My favorite looks from Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2022 include the most dramatic, colorful, and unique: the collection featured ruffles, cascades, bold color choices, and great fabric selection. Volume never sacrificed the figure, and proportion always seemed just right, with creative lines and cuts. I have long admired Carolina Herrera‘s vision, and this collection exemplifies her…
