Wu Wu Style

So, If you read my blog it shouldn't come as a surprise to you that I am a dear fan of Mr.Wu's creations! This season was no exception and my love affair continues.

This season Wu played with a lot of elements, transparency and texture mainly taking center stage. The show started with a strong message; black, white and grey. These colors were the core of collection with a strong red, rich camel and electric blue making appearances as well. The classic Wu feather dress nipped at the waist made its appearance in a couple of different forms on Cara in white. Collars were closed to the top and clean lines were important.

In a couple words: I want all this in my closet!

Amazing Creativity its Insane

Proenza Schouler I am lost for words which doesn't happen all too often. The boys at Proenza just pushed the boundaries with this collection! They explored new textures, new leather weaving and some great color combinations. Aside from the great weaving they did, they redefined the silhouette. They created a looser silhouette one where the garments kind of floated on the body, the body became irrelevant.
The handwork on each of these pieces is just outstanding. Weaving, embroidery, all around the boys of Proenza Schouler have just reached the stages of excellence.

Just loving

I love love love

I can't get over how amazing the coloring in this show was. Phillip Lim did an absolutely amazing job with this! The tangerine, and pastel purple combination was absolutely beautiful!

Naeem Khan

 Closing up NYC fashion week as always is Naeem Khan. Now, all you know I feel a particular allegiance to the label since I worked there last summer, but nonetheless it's well deserved! Naeem closed up a colorful week with a bang! Loyal to his customers, Naeem gives another eveining-heavy collection. It would not be going too far in saying that many of these creations are sure to end up on many-a-red carpet very soon!

Naem's pieces are always very intricate as they go through hundreds of numbers of hands to create. Naeem drew upon his vast library of embroideries at the office to come to create this collection of color, spring, bloom and femininity.

The show was beautifully styled by Mary Alice Stephenson with Ranjana Khan jewels. Every feather and bead just worked! Can't wait to see these creations on some Hollywood starlets very soon!

Amazing job NK team!

Elie Tahari

Elie Tahari has a skill for making wearable clothes that look fresh off the runway. Many times clothes are beautiful but may not exactly assimilate into our woardrobes. Tahari's clothes are fashion forward for the modern woman.
For spring, Tahari came on strong in his neutral numbers. There were strong tailored pieces (perfect for work) dusted of with gold accessories. There were flashes of a beautiful tangerine and an array of blues.

My favorite: a gold pencil skirt paired with a flowy white top. Also the all white number with hints of gold.
The revival of gold by Tahari is bound to be a hit in Spring. There is something Egyptian about the collection which of course plays into my nationalistic sentiment. However, the marriage of white and gold is classy, chic and effortless.
