Color Blocking and Cutouts for BCBG Max Azria S/S 2012 | September 15, 2011

The moment I laid my eyes on this spring/summer ready-to-wear collection, I quickly noticed a similar color blocking theme to its prior fall/winter collection, making this somewhat of a carryover collection.  That said, this collection is in no way last season’s collection.  As the models began to make their way down the runway, the looks began with lighter neutral tones of tan and off-white with color blocks of butter and peach.  About midway through, deeper neutrals like gray and black were blocked with third and fourth additions of deeper pigment colors like mustard, orange, slate blue, with some touches of … Read More »

The Kardashians take over Avril Lavigne’s Abbey Dawn Fashion Show | September 14, 2011

Several days before Avril Lavigne’s Abbey Dawn fashion show, there’s been a lot of discussion about it.

Leanne Marshall’s Spring ’12 Collection | September 11, 2011

I’ve always been a huge fan of Leanne Marshall from Project Runway (Season 5), so there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to see a handful of elegant garments today. A fellow Brooklynite (shout out to Williamsburg!) continues to present her talent through breathtaking collections. Ever since her big-win in Project Runway, she quickly went back to making dresses to sell! It’s always good to see these up-and-coming designers work hard to pursue their dreams.

It is evident that Leanne’s feminine touch behind her Spring ’12 collection reflects her prior experience in designing costumes for ballet performances. The … Read More »

Project Runway’s Jason Troisi Runway Show | September 9, 2011

 

As Tim Gunn would say, “Make it Work!”

Despite Jason Troisi’s dismissal in Project Runway Season 8, he ‘made it work’ off of Lifetime Television’s reality competition. His hard work paid off last night at the Exit Art venue, where he beautifully presented his collection for New York Fashion Week. He noted, “I have spent every single day sewing; Not just for a few hours, but the entire day, the entire night, every waking minute I could find, was spent sewing.”

For his debut fashion show, he created his collection with different types of fabric ranging from wool, tulle, leather to rubber. … Read More »
