The True Cost of Labor: In the past few years, we’ve heard of several buildings collapsing in India, as well as stories of workers being burned alive after having been locked inside factories that caught fire. Underpaid, beaten, and forced to work in terrible conditions within dilapidated or unstructurally sound buildings, factory workers toil away…

Karo Swim-Wear: Palm Beach Swim Week Runway Show
Karo Swim-wear, which presented at New York Fashion Week as well, is a Connecticut based art-to-swimwear line featuring glistening stone-embellishments and beautifully bold prints: from checkered, striped, or floral prints to subtler solid black and white or black and navy, there was a variety of looks sure to please different tastes, but each had eye-catching details….

Fashion Ads
I said I was all of a sudden going to look a lot more normal with the onset of the androgyny and dandy trend for fall, 😂. The Versace ad shown below looks like it could’ve been styled in my closet…yes, I have leather meggings (although it was for Halloween). I can’t recall seeing a…
Rick Owens Spring 2016 Menswear
Is it possible that we ignore Rick Owens’ creativity because it’s overshadowed by gimmick fashion? The shock value marketing aspect, penis collection need I remind you, and this whole sleeveless with the sleeves dangling, but with an upside-down shirt hanging as well… it’s just as confusing to write about. The Kangaroo shirts, I’ll call them,…
Saint Laurent SS16
I feel like I can hear Pauly Short. I feel like I’m in Back to the Future. Saint Laurent took us on a rock star bad trip through the 70’s and 80’s. Polka dots, spiked leather jackets, lots and lots of plaid, tie-die, leopard, fringe jackets, denim vests, windbreakers in those wacky 80’s prints, and…
Balmain Men’s SS16
What happens when cargo meets moto, and combat boots meet gladiator sandals? Something eye-catching, Balmain’s Spring/Summer ’16 show was on trend and fashion forward. Knits like you haven’t seen: jackets, dresses, blazers- this trend was slayed on the runway, although a knit dress can look a little wrong without something underneath. With androgyny becoming all…
I Have a Tonal Toner for Calvin Klein Collection Men’s SS16
Calvin Klein Collection’s Menswear Spring/Summer show created this luxe look with tonal shirt and suit matching, and these gorgeous graphic shirts: I love that they played with layering the graphic under fabric in the white version of the shirt. The shirts are graphic representations of the inspiration of summer waves, palm trees, and are laminated…
The Best of Resort 2016
Resort 2016 will allow you to express yourself in all of the fun trends. We saw a lot of pastels, sheer meets opaque, cut outs, and prints- both bold and subtle. Beautiful shirt dresses, a continuation of sleeveless outerwear and jackets, clear raincoats, and interesting silhouettes and proportions characterized the commonality of the collections. 70’s…
