Moving From One to Another: Fashion Weeks

The New York City Fashion has wrapped up and Fashion Week in London has started. I for one am excited to see Tom Ford, Vivienne Westwood's Red Label, and more. There are several designers I have never heard of so i am thrilled to be opened to new ideas and creations. It's wonderful to see the variety in everyone's take on the Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear season. All of the colors, fabrics, and accessories, not mention the shapes and designs of the garments. Of course I'm excited for Fendi and Gucci and other well known brands, but it's the designers who are new to me which are more exciting. I love going on the UK Vogue website and browsing through all the articles, and now that they're posting about the Fashion Week, I might just be spending a lot of time on the website. Stay tuned for reviews on designers' collections showing at London's Fashion Week.

Oscar de la Renta Review (Updated May 2015)

The update for this post is that the pictures have been removed and the text altered accordingly. 

I absolutely love Oscar de la Renta, especially his evening gowns and fitted jackets. His designs are elegant and sophisticated and always creative with fabrics and patterns. His show seemed to have a little something for every woman. He had pencil skirts and blouses, lots of houndstooth and pearls, but then fun bright colors and more dressy gowns. He included some young and flirty, innocent dresses of white crochet but then he had a black blouse with large puffed sleeves. I really enjoyed the variety in the clothing designs and how everything was presented, very crisp and clean.

Vera Wang Runway Report (Updated May 2015)

The update for this post is that the pictures have been removed and the text altered accordingly. 

I think that Vera Wang is really creative and her pieces are a great way to take that artistic touch but make it functional for the everyday woman. I love her wedding dresses and I like how she thinks outside of the box on color and fabric choices.

Overall I loved the movement her designs offer and the ease they provide. Also, the colors were very nice because she mostly stuck to one main color for each ensemble, there wasn't any crazy prints or bombardment of contrasting colors in one ensemble.

Rachel Zoe Runway Review (Updated May 2015)

The update for this post is that the pictures have been removed and the text altered accordingly. 

I have admired Rachel Zoe since her first season of her TV show. Because of her I have actually considered going into the apparel industry as a stylist and not necessarily as a designer. However, I still have years to decide and I really would like to some day be a designer for my own line and have my own business. I like Rachel Zoe's style and the way her looks that she creates look effortless, that any woman could be able to pull them off.

Michael Kors: Runway Report (Updated May 2015)

The update for this post is that the pictures have been removed and the text altered accordingly. 

There's a Michael Kors store in the mall where I worked at Express over the summer and sometimes before or after work I would just pop in and admire the watches and purses. I own a pair of white MK jeans and I like his designs, but whenever someone says Michael Kors I think accessories. I don't know if it's because I just love his accessory designs and I'm more familiar with them, or if it's because I always remember the extravagant and over the top designs while his are more practical and for the modern day woman out and about (not the kind who need ball gowns everyday).

After viewing the show and browsing the pictures I decided I should pay more attention to his designs, I really like how he makes the silhouettes fit the models perfectly.

As usual, the pictures can be found on the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week website.

The collection has a lot of great separates that could be mixed together quite nicely. I liked the show and what the clothes have to offer.

Betsey Johnson Runway Review (Updated May 2015)

The update for this post is that the pictures have been removed and the text altered accordingly

I love the theatrics and atmosphere that the Betsey Johnson show creates. Also, the hair and makeup is so fun and interesting, it adds that pizzazz to the garments. I love Betsey Johnson, especially her jewelry and her crazy eccentric designs.
All pictures can be found on the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week website.

The models just have this great energy that makes the clothes even more fun and flirty.
