Jennifer Lopez serves up some blank model gaze on the cover of W Magazine’s May issue, with an illegible “One & Only” title matching the logo in pastel rainbow gradation.

Fashion and Beauty Trends From Fashion Weeks Fall/Winter 2016 FW16
Fashion Weeks typically follow certain trends globally, with each city having things in common with and differing from the other parts of the globe. In the videos below I discuss trends we’ve seen in fashion and beauty from Paris, London, Milan, and New York Fashion Week.

Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
The Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week runway show melded high fashion with athletic inspiration, made evident in the sleeves and cut of dresses and pullovers. Leather pants, jackets and coats were paired with silk dresses and skirts, fur, and cropped jackets. Remember the halfsie fingerless gloves from SS16? They’ve seemingly inspired leather finger-wrap…
Valentino Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
The Valentino Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week runway show was romantic, delicate, and feminine with light flowing and frilly looks in tulle, silk and chiffon contrasting the heavier or hard-edged- leather and metal plating, patent leather, velvet, and wool. Valentino PFW FW16 AH16 embodied this ballerina princess warrior, who is leather and armor clad one…
Granny Globetrotter: Chanel Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
The Chanel Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week runway show was oh so old…I wouldn’t be surprised if that was mother of mother of pearl honey. It looks so dated, boring, period…they should make a perfume called “Moth Ball.” Tweed, season after season, decade after decade…it will soon have a 100th anniversary! Switch it up Chanel! Chanel…
Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week collection had this strange 80’s air about it, the cocktail dresses, the shoulders, the styling… it’s the third show in PFW to invoke the era. We know Saint Laurent has embodied the 80’s and Punk recently, but this is less hard edged and more era gone by. The…
Zuhair Murad Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
Zuhair Murad Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week was as fabulous as is expected for the designer- sheer dresses with contrast strips created a graphically striking effect. There were beading and sequin embellishments galore- and the patch inspired look we’ve seen attempted and less well executed at other runway shows as executed perfectly. The runway beauty featured…
Givenchy Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
Givenchy Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week was Egyptian inspired with hieroglyphic graphics, including the eye of Horus, all seeing eye fishnet, animal prints- leopard, snakeskin, sun disk zippers, a rich color palette of deep blue-black, red, gold, purple, bronze, rust, burnt golden rod, black, and cream, thigh high boots, coats, jackets, dresses, skirts, and separates- including…
Camilla and Marc Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
The Camilla and Marc Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week runway show brought an effortless chicness to the layer trend. It was luxe, glamorous, understated, had unique touches and great attention to detail, and was perfectly executed high fashion.
Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
The Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week runway show was anti-figure, placing volume purposefully where women do not want it- the hips and natural waist, that, coupled with the fabric selection- granny quilt florals, made for an unappealing collection. There was this matchy matchy look reminiscent of Kim K’s horrid dress and gloves, this time matching…
