Fall 2023 Fashion Week New York NYFW, London LFW, Milan MFW, and Paris PFW

Fall 2023 New York Fashion Week NYFW Day one of New York Fashion Week feels like a foreshadowing of another basic mall clothes season: color-blocked trench coats, truly uninspired basics, a continued redundant nostalgia of the nineties… What Are The Observable Fashion Trends For Fall 2023?

Roberto Cavalli Pre-Fall 2018

The Roberto Cavalli Pre-Fall 2018 collection marks a shift in the brand’s visual style.  It seems that Paul Surridge, the new creative director (Vogue ’18), succeeds in taming the wild animal that is Cavalli and its prints- almost everything is salable, marketable, wearable.  There is a marked difference between this and recent Cavalli collections which really…

Full Circle: the Resistance Will Be Trendy

The revolution may not be televised, but the resistance will be trendy. Some say that the political and social climate are shaping how people dress, however, knowing that fashion was headed into the 70’s regardless of and before the election, I feel as if its only a part of the cyclical nature of fashion.  Yes,…

AMA'S Best and Worst Dressed

The Good The garments, styling, beauty- for the most part, everything seemed to create a cohesive look….with the exception of Teyana Taylor, whose hair and makeup seemed to be disparate from the dress itself….a subtler brow and less highlight on the cheeks…perhaps a slightly less nude lip, and an up-do would’ve made this look complete…

Resort 2017 Fashion Shows

Helmut Lang Altuzarra Boss Isa Arfen Givenchy: youthful yet mature, edgy and ethereally feminine, the Givenchy Resort ’17 collection was beautiful, fun, chic and wearable.

Roberto Cavalli Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 MFW FW16

Certain designers have lived through the 70’s, and can translate the trend into wearable fashionable looks, and Cavalli is definitely one of them.  Roberto Cavalli’s Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 is bohemian hippy chic- the use of textiles, print, embroidery, flowing silhouettes and maxi dresses, embroidered flared jeans, long velvet and denim coats, and scarves…

Cavalli Does Disarrono: It’s a Wrap

Cavalli covers Disarrono? But…isn’t kinda just a wrap? Or…not kinda, but for reals? Dear Disarrono, um, for the price you could probably keep the wrap.   Are we to be fooled into thinking it’s designer liquor? Have we been fooled into buying designer water in the past? Are you as confused as I am? I’ll…

Roberto Cavalli SS16

The Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2016  collection started off looking like home-sewn projects crafted by Romy and Michelle.  I don’t understand why the collection wasn’t edited down.  The O-rings did create unique looks, however, there were too many rings used.  The jumpsuit, leather vests, and the short dresses were or could’ve been beautiful, but the ruffle…

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…
