Charlotte Olympia Spring/Summer 2017 resorted to kitsch over stitch, an the most eye-catching looks were those fruit-tastrophes…this bitch is bananas, B.A.N.A.N.A.S. I’m confused by the costumes…although they’re just on time for some Fruit of the Loom Halloween costumes, and feel like the collection was a monotonous monochromatic presentation of lackluster “fashion,” or boring mall clothes,…

Gucci Spring/Summer 2017
There is a fabulously chic tone to the Gucci Spring/Summer 2017 runway show- seemingly all of the librarian and 70’s looks from the past shows have been leading up to this on-trend collection. Again, some are a little too period costume or should’ve been edited out, but the others are so luxe- the fabric selection,…
Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer 2017
The Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer 2017 runway show started off with fashion MPD, a pink gold and black New York graphic and zipper detail pullover and matching skirt, a Pretty Woman dress, pop art, photo-prints, collars and leashes…it got a little “X-Rated.” In Scott fashion, there were nineties and bondage undertones contrasting Nickelodeon references. The show…
J. Mendel Spring/Summer 2017 SS17
J. Mendel Spring/Summer 2017 is fresh yet retro, modern yet ethereal, and just so chic. There’s something effortless, just a bit edgy, elegant, and beautiful about almost every look in the collection. Even those I don’t like still catch my eye in the way the cuts work so well with layering, for example. The color…
Rodarte Spring/Summer 2017 SS17
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7xpW0BAI8U] How do we feel about the Rodarte Spring/Summer 2017 collection? I feel as if it looks like Betsey Johnson, YSL’s 80’s collection and Xena had a baby…sheer polka-dot fabric gathered and ruffled, layered, draped, studded and cut out…it was 80’s Bo-peep. There is some obvious Indian and 80’s influence in the collection. I…
VFiles Spring/Summer 2017 RTW
There is always amazing talent showcased at VFiles, and this year it is no different. A pant jumpsuit…like, shoulder high pants were sent down the runway. These designers have such strong voices, such clearly defined visual styles and aesthetics- from the avant-garde to Asian inspirations. The third designer is my favorite: modern and bold with…
Nicholas K Spring/Summer 2017 RTW
Rompers, visors, silken nude and earth tones, slip dresses, so-wrongs, utilitarian bags, bold prints…the Nicholas K Spring/Summer 2017 collection might be my least favorite to date. I love the brand’s dark, modern, original and edgy aesthetic, but this feels like a watered down beachy meets 90’s show, although I do love the garments that are…
Hervé Léger Spring/Summer 2017 RTW
Hervé Léger’s Spring/Summer 2017 RTW collection featured the classic bandage dress, this time with a pleated and studded twist, among dresses that were either gorgeous and elevated or over worked. The ruffles, the tie-straps, the fur chunky heels…some of the dresses were a lot piled on top of too much, which is a design and…
Siki Im SS17 Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear NYFWM SS17
Herem pants, moto jeans, weird proportions and granny cuts, the Siki Im Spring/Summer 2017 menswear collection was hit and miss. The color palette consisted of salmon, black, gray, and army green and camel. The longline looks, the coats of which had zipper attachments to add length, the layering, the illusion contrast details, and utilitarian bag…
Fashion Comedy: Gypsy Sport
There are, more often than you’d think, shows which seem so wacky, out there, stupidly crazy and unwearable. Gypsy Sport SS17 NYFWM collection was a total joke, and aside from the costume like clothing and styling, there isn’t much to discuss. Dreses, frill, fringe, lace, but all in a cheap and contrived, not at all…
