Le Gitan (The Gypsy) Fall CLO3D Fashion Show by Fashion Designer Perry Uwanawich
Le Gitan (The Gypsy) Fall CLO3D Fashion Show by Fashion Designer Perry Uwanawich, created in Marvelous Designer 11 and After Effects. I wanted to design a capsule collection that represents where the Gypsies, Rom, my people, descended from and migrated to, from Asia (India to China/Korea/Japan, etc.) to Europe, Spain, and the United States. The…
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 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…
Rebecca Minkoff Spring 2021
The star of the Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2021 New York Fashion Week collection was, of course, the bags! I once had a Convertible backpack like the one in this collection- it doubles as a hobo which is just so versatile it would be the envy of the gays. Here, it was paired with a leopard…
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,…
LRS Spring 2021
LRS Spring/Summer 2021 New York Fashion Week presentation stood out for a few of its garments- the round-the-leg drape of two of the looks (red shown below), the denim cape, the crop hoodie, and the mixing of materials with the rib-knit turtle-neck harness with nylon straps and d-ring fasteners.
Shirr-Perfection: Polina Gorkovenko Spring 2021
Polina Gorkovenko’s Spring 2021 collection was shirr-perfection- the effect of fabric manipulation using shirring allowed for the same technique to invoke different effects from gathers and ruffles to pleats which evoke entirely different styles from the almost Elizabethan effect on the multicolored dress to the more understated gathering on the Afghan. The cropped jacket, of…
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….
