New York Fashion Week - Fendi

Fendi’s spring 2011 line featured many neutrals, sages, and light pastels. A boat neck cut seemed to be the favored neckline among many of the pieces. Loose-fitting, light material characterized by a cinched waist was also a popular look.

Fashion Week: Valentino

The strongest Spring trends brought to the catwalk this September were light colors in shades of white and nude. Short suits gave flavor to a classic look and were topped off with high buns and bright lips.

Fashion No No

This Bless Cotton and Fox Jacket by Colette is a definite Fashion “Fur” Paux at the expense of $1,777.

Don’t overdo it. A little goes a long way. Try this stone brown leather and fox-fur trim jacket by Forzieri. Not only is it a better look, it’s also a better buy for $900.

FAUX FUR BOOTIE SLIPPER

Exclusive to Urban Outfitters, these slippers are perfect for wearing around the house or lounging around watching a movie. The non-slip rubber sole, cozy fleece interior and fluffy faux fur on the outside make them comfortable yet fashionable! Bring pizzazz to any outfit with these, except when it’s snowing or icy outside since they don’t have the most durable bottom. Still a great conversation starter in any situation!

Interview with Neil Barrett!

Milan, la Moda, and Male Models...what more could you ask for? Here's an interview I did with designer Neil Barrett on June 21 for Milan's S/S 2011 Fashion Week. The look was casual and comfortable with basic styles that were worn in.

Hello Morello!

Last week on February 25,I got to see Frankie Morello's new Fall&Winter 2010/11 collection through my amazing internship. All I can say is black, tight, and short...and that I loved it all as I sat front row! Here's a video of the first two looks (don't mind my mediocre video skills).

Next Generation not so RTW?

Fashion week in Milan started on February 24, 2010 with Next Generation, a show featuring four emerging designers who are all under 30 years of age! Next Generation was initiated by The National Chamber of Italian Fashion four seasons ago to introduce the new kids on the block. The four designers chosen were Marco Corso, Francesco di Giorgi, Francesca Liberatore, and Susanna Cornet.

Here's a rundown of the runway:
Marco Corso - shoulders, blazers, and cuffed trousers.
Francesca Liberatore -sleek booties and revealing backs.
Susanna Cornet (my favorite!) - over-the-knee tights, nude shades, and flowy dresses/skirts.
Francesco di Giorgi - Alice in Wonderland, white fur, and pastel tights.

With noticeable threads falling onto the runway from Marco Corso's line and the inexperienced models, I felt like a judge on Project Runway. Let's see if these designers have what it takes to become the next big thing in Italy. Only time can tell.

Shorties

The new trend is short boots! A popular style in Milan is dark skinny jeans with lace up tan boots to add the perfect touch of tomboy. Try any of these styles because over-the-knee boots are so over. My personal favorite is the cowboy boots.
