Couture Spring 2023 fashion shows coincide with men’s fashion week. Doja Cat’s shenanigans at Viktor and Rolf and another less impactful Schiaparelli show distracts from the collection in my opinion: had she just done the Pat Macgrath body makeup stunt I think she could’ve enjoyed the press, however, feel like her subsequent costume drew the…

How To DIY Style: Sewing, Pattern Drafting, Using Patterns, featuring a DIY Military-Inspired Jumpsuit
Today’s episode is on DIY Style, sewing, drafting your own blocks and making your own patterns versus using store-bought patterns or printing patterns online, and will discuss design details and components of the jumpsuit I’m wearing; I’ve paired it with my Seed of Life Unisex Tanktop in Heather Grey, available in different colors and styles…
Paris Fashion Week Spring 2023 PFW SS23 Runway Trends, Menswear and Womenswear
Paris Fashion Week Spring 2023 Paris Fashion Week was by far the best capital of fashion for the Spring 2023 season. Unfortunately, America or New York has fallen behind its European counterparts it fought so hard to prove it was equal with so long ago. I hope that will change- design houses or their corporate…
London Fashion Week Spring 2023 LFW SS23, Runway Trends, Fashion Shows Menswear and Womenswear
Admittedly, London Fashion Week (LFW) has always been my least favorite of the fashion capitals- I have always felt like the silhouettes are often a bit grotesque and the proportions are far out. For London Fashion Week Spring 2023, it seems nothing’s changed in that regard- I have saved but twenty-nine photos from eight collections:…
Pattern Drafting Week Two | Parsons
Pattern Drafting After tediously measuring the body and drafting our patterns last week, we arrived this week ready to perfect our drafts by comparing them to a master block, making adjustments, and cutting them out of muslin. We handed in our sewing samples shown in my previous post, Pattern Drafting at Parsons. I ended up…
Pattern Drafting at Parsons
Upon entering the J Building and heading to the MFA area for class, I observed student projects on looms and plant matter growing through muslin. I’m in my second week of classes at Parsons for technical design. I started my pattern drafting exercises Tuesday. Although I’ve drafted sleeves and simple garments before, perhaps draping on…
Christian Dior Designer of Dreams, The Brooklyn Museum Fashion Exhibit
So Sorry- So Sold Out! It is the first day of fashion week, my birthday, February 11th, and I make it to the Brooklyn Museum by 10 am thinking I’ll be too early to wait for tickets to the sold-out Christian Dior, Designer of Dreams exhibit; to my dismay, there is already a line of…
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,…
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…
