Marchesa Notte’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection was one of few fashionable collections we’ve seen come from London Fashion Week thus far. It was full of beautiful dresses with baroque, lace, sheer silk chiffon, a bright Pop of color in the floral embroidery, cap sleeves, gorgeous side cut-outs, and a palette of light pink, bronze, cream, white,…

DKNY SS16
The DKNY Spring/Summer 2016 collection seemed to embody a schoolgirl meets garçon- on-trend with androgyny, mixed with head mistress contrasting the sheer boyish looks with pinstripes, seemingly modernizing the 80’s pinstripe look. There was a lot of T&A on that runway, but I loved the sheer double-breasted dress, the interesting bleeding ink of the sleeveless…
A Fashion Joke: Threeasfour SS16
As if the name wasn’t dumb enough, Threeasfour decided to pursue this idea of “Disposable Fashion” for Spring/Summer 2016. “I wanted to make clothes that people literally want to dispose of…before they even wear them, like- stuff people would hate so much they’d buy it to burn it,” I’d imagine the designer, who’s proud to…
Baby Ghost SS16
Baby Ghost Spring/Summer 2016 was a graphically driven and eye catching collection.
Libertine SS16
Libertine Spring/Summer 2016 is the tackiest collection for spring: it’s all kitsch, loud, over-embellished and overworked.
Reem Acra SS16: Radioactive Bollywood
The Reem Acra Spring/Summer 2016 Fashion Show took us on a trip to India in this radioactive bollywood collection. The iridescent fabrics seemed luminescent all their own: short dresses segued to long flowing silhouettes. Saris met with Gypsy inspired peasant looks in a mind blowing effect. Deep plunging v-necks, draw-string, keyhole, sweetheart, halter, and décolletage…
Lela Rose SS16
Metallic tweed, gold and silver lamé, and lots of beaded appliqués and shimmer went down the runway of the Lela Rose Spring/Summer 2016 fashion show. It was ornately glamorous and feminine with a pallet of dusty rose, white cream silk taffeta, lamé, and silk chiffon. Flowing silhouettes met with formfitting jumpsuits, drawstring and elasticized waist…
Prabal Gurung SS16
I was right to predict cut-away shoulders and sheer for the Prabal Gurung Spring/Summer 2016 show, which started out with a choral performance from the Dalai Lama and his buddies: if you’ve never heard the Dalai Lama speak, I assure you he’s got a sense of humor, and the joke was in that monotone hum…
Rebecca Minkoff SS16
Cut-away shoulders, cut outs, black leather contrasting white lace- the Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2016 collection was on-trend with 70’s and 90’s influences. The show featured flowing sleeveless maxis, sleeveless mini shift-dresses, a black leather catsuit, ballet inspired strappy boots, sheer contrast bishop-sleeves, a slew of separates, and fringe bags. The collection was composed of a mostly…
Zang Toi SS16
The Zang Toi Spring/Summer 2016 collection oozed chic minimalism in impeccable tailoring and execution: the show started all in white, with beautiful blazers and suits for both men and women, I definitely want the blazer that the first male model walked out in. I love the drop shoulder bishop sleeves of the blouses. We saw knitwear, dangling quartz…
