Monday I posted the Fall 2012 Michael Kors collection and talked about how important EDITING is to me.
When I looked over Sarah Burton’s latest collection- I was floored! How can she keep the McQueen look with such simple, elegant, classic pieces?
Look 2 and Look 10 (below) are definite throwbacks to past collections with the [...]

Straight off the runway: Michael Kors
What a week! I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to catch hardly any NYFW shows!
I did, however, make a point to sit down and soak up the Michael Kors Fall 2012 RTW show…. and I was not disappointed.
Michael Kors has editing down to a science. His looks are so creative and [...]

Straight off the runway: Rachel Zoe
I’ve said it before, but I absolutely ADORE Spring Fashion Week.
There is nothing more exciting then looking at runway looks and recreating them at work the next day or on the weekend with your girlfriends.
Rachel Zoe’s Fall collection is perfect. Menswear inspired looks with the 70s edge she’s known for. Totally into it.
After seeing a [...]

Straight off the runway: Joe Fresh
I may be on vacation, but that didn’t stop me from checking ou the Joe Fresh Spring 2012 collection this morning.
The large maxi skirts are not really my thing, but the solid colours and platforms have won me over.
I heard through the Twitter grapevine that the show at LG Fashion week only let about 10 [...]

Straight off the runway: Alexander McQueen
You would never in a million years realize that Alexander McQueen is no longer designing for his namesake line. Sarah Burton has flawlessly taken over the reigns of, easily, one of my favourite design houses.
Her Spring 2012 collection is so…. haunted. And romantic. I love it.
The lace veils make the collection for me. And look [...]

Straight off the runway: Christian Dior
The fashion world was shocked when the news broke during Paris fashion week earlier this year that John Galliano (Creative director at Dior) was caught uttering anti-Semitic slurs. Fast forward to September 2011… Galliano was found guilty and was formally charged.
The Spring collection shown in Paris last week is absolutely stunning. The new acting creative director Bill [...]

Straight off the runway: Proenza Schouler
In the past couple of seasons and in the time since I discovered the PS1 bag, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schoulder have been working their way up the list of my favourite designers.
I’m in love with their use of prints, and I’m loving that the Spring 2012 collection has elements of their [...]

Rodarte showed today at noon and OH MAN! Their Spring collection is absolutely stunning.
My search to find a stylist is going well. I’ve had 7 people [...]

Straight off the runway: Project Runway Update
Project Runway is half over! I can’t believe it.
I’m really enjoying it this season. The designers are all so unique- the runway challenges but be a mess to judge.
The drama this season is getting a little old. Joshua is a CAT! I can’t believe the swipes he has taken at Bert and at Becky.
{ L-R [...]

Straight off the runway: Christian Siriano
Literally, straight off of the runway.
New York Fashion Week is in full swing. Christian Siriano showed his Spring 2012 collection on Saturday at Lincoln Centre.
I’m in LOVE.
I’m so glad that colour blocking and little pops of colour are sticking around
So what do you think?
