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:…
New York Fashion Week Spring 2023 Menswear and Womenswear, Runway Trends
New York Fashion Week Spring 2023 starts off with a reflection on the styles and crafts that dominated the pandemic- crochet and knitting, quilting, smocking, and all those awful Target cottage-core dresses which can only serve as The Handmaid’s Tale‘s preparatory wardrobe. I do believe we should move away from fast fashion and toward handmade,…
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…
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…
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…
New York Fashion Week Spring 2022 NYFW SS22
As New York Fashion Week Spring 2022 comes to a close and we look onward to the Met Gala and other fashion weeks, let’s take a look at my favorite looks from the collections- along with a few I didn’t care for. We saw a lot of anoraks, and a resurgence of the waist cut-out…
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…
Private Policy Spring 2021
Private Policy’s Spring/Summer 2021 collection was a well executed, perfectly edited and cohesive yet still design-playful collection in its exploration of fashion when met with color palette, graphic prints, utility and wearability: beyond the now common utilitarian pockets- straps, buttons, and harnesses allow the garments to be worn and carried in a more versatile way….
