Thanks for a great first fashion week. I really enjoyed attending your shows and being able to report on them for my readers. I speak for everyone who works on this site and who reads it that this was really an honor. I will be back next season.
Until then, it’s [...]

Narciso Rodriguez F/W 2010 Collection [A Ghostly Delight]

When I attended the Narciso Rodriguez F/W 2010 Collection in the tents at Bryant Park, I was entranced with the heavy beats of the music, the ethereal flow of the dresses, and the dark color palette. Narciso himself quipped that his collection was inspired by “beautiful curved lines and shadows.” The collection is a wonderful composite of many elements that together [...]

Interview with Richie Rich

I had the pleasure of recording an interview with Richie Rich about his thoughts on fashion. In case you aren’t familiar with Richie Rich, he’s a former member of Club Kid (think socialite guild) and the designer for Heatherette.

My personal favorite lines:
“…fashion, fashion, fashion, bubble, sparkles, and glitter are always good things!”
“…they should called fashion [...]

Adrienne Vittadini [Timeless Classicism]

The venue was calm, timeless, and refined. Using the International Center of Photography for the F/W 2010 Adrienne Vittadini collection was a wonderful choice. I really enjoyed the wood panel floors, the strong and proud poses of the onyx manniquins, and the overall atmosphere of the show. I really think Adrienne Vittadini did a splendid [...]

I recently had the pleasure to conduct an interview with Amy Smilovic, the founder and designer of Tibi, in which I touched based on the edgier and darker designs in her Pre-Fall 2010 collection. Now that I had a chance to personally see the F/W 2010 Tibi Collection in the Tents during fashion week, I must [...]

Sitting across from me on the other row during the Narciso Rodriguez show happened to the Team Vogue USA! Look for Anna Wintour & Grace Coddington (though you can only see Grace’s hair).

Sorry for that creeper shot. But I had to. You know you would have too if you were in the same place.

I had the honor of attending the Custo Barcelona F/W 2010 fashion show at the tents on Sunday, February 14. I must say that I found the Barcelona collection a wildly imaginative show, filled with surprises and interesting color and cut meshes. I applaud Custo’s foray into an adventurous exploration of metallic hues and fur-based [...]

WAYNE F/W 2010 Collection [Tribal Urbanism]

WAYNE’s F/W 2010 Collection, which was presented Friday, February 12 2010, was really a treat for me. A Vietnamese designer who escaped to the United States as a refugee with her family, Wayne Lee has an eclectic vision of fashion, which surely must be shaped by her heritage, her love of futurism, and her academic background. A [...]

Wow. This is such an honor. From Monday 2 Fashion, the official online magazine of NYFW – as sponsored by Mercedes Benz – described me as one of the most influential bloggers in the nation. They even put me in the same sentence as Anna Wintour – wow, this is too much! I’m so humbled [...]

Perry Ellis F/W 2010 NYFW [Backstage]

Thumbnail image for Perry Ellis F/W 2010 NYFW [Backstage]

There is a certain excitement and exuberance to being backstage in the tents. The chaotic rush is almost cathartic to watch – the scenes of rushed frenziness that slowly lend way to order is like watching someone assemble a jigsaw puzzle. What seemed like a haphazard change of hangers or a swish of the model [...]
