My last day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week could not have started in a better way. I have been a very huge fan of Bubhu Mohapatra for quite some time now. I was invited to his showing in the tents last season but entering the city I was stuck in Lincoln Tunnel traffic for 2 hours [...]
Catherine Malandrino fabricated the meaning of French Art Deco in a whole new way, for Fall 2013! The presentation that took place at Center 548 in new york city was very downtown with lux elements. The “Le Normandie” titled collection was represented well by Malandrino’s choice of fabrications heavy within the garments. Beautifully crafted wools [...]
Taking inspiration from fairy tales written by the Brothers Grimm, Lela Rose transformed her ready to wear collection into a modern day Cinderella, if you will. Starting the show off with conservative day pieces for the chic 20-30 something woman, styled with large yet demure prints and seamlessly gliding into the elegant "I"m off to [...]
Oh Rebecca Minkoff, how I adore you so! Before the show, when I was given access backstage, I listened to her interviews with multi-media outlets at a time. Minkoff expressed how during her pre-fall season she was inspired by Amelia Earhart and aviation but for Fall 2013 she wanted to expand on this idea into [...]
Attending the Carmen Marc Valvo show this season was in some ways a blast from the past. You see, my very first internship in the fashion industry was with Carmen Marc Valvo in the summer of 2008. I interned in sales mainly but was floated around to each department during my time there. My most [...]

For his Fall 2013 collection, the Toi designed a collection based on his views of what a Modern Imperial Russia would look like. [...]
For Fall 2013, Timo Weiland showed both his men’s and women’s collections apart from each other. The reason for this double showing of different collections was that Timo wanted each collection's focus to stand a part from each other, designing for two different customers. No men’s and woman’s matchie-matchie here. His brilliant collection that in [...]
On the first day of fashion week my assistant gave to me, 12 reasons to be thankful for him. La-De-Da-Deeeeee!! As he puts it "On my résumé I will be adding official bag holder to the list of tasks performed"! Obviously his complaint is only said in jest. As I approached the tents to meet [...]
