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.

New York Fashion Week Fall 2021 NYFW
We’re still witnessing the impact of Covid-19 on the fashion calendar and industry for New York Fashion Week Fall 2021. Most shows are presentations of multimedia rather than runway shows, however, we are seeing few true runway shows with anyone other than models around- and in one I wasn’t sure if it was staff scurrying…
New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2021 Highlights
Below are designers and houses which I may have only micro-blogged on in addition to those linked to posts. In the Spring/Summer 2021 collection, I feel as if Tomo Koizumi has a very clear albeit repetitive motif with this fabric manipulation, but the designer(s) should be conscious of silhouette and the natural waistline in the…
Bibhu Mohapatra Spring 2021
Bibhu Mohapatra Spring/Summer 2021 collection remains true to the designer’s aesthetic- timeless, glamorous, perfectly executed and constructed garments which still manage to be unique and original without looking over-designed or forced. The chartreuse criss-cross gathered leg-of-mutton sleeved bodice and open-weave-skirt dress, chartreuse-yellow pleated tulle peplum skirt and black satin gathered asymmetrical top, chartreuse mini dress,…
