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…

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…
Milan Fashion Week SPring 2023 MFW SS23 Runway Trends, Womenswear, Menswear
Milan Fashion Week Spring 2023 Milan Fashion Week is more substantive than NYFW and LFW while covering the same trends and extending some from the Fall collections. With the exception of Bluemarine, I’d say it is still rather underwhelming and unremarkable. There isn’t anything from the looks I find to be stand-out among the mass-appeal…
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…
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…
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…
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…
