City dwellers know all about acts of subterfuge — if cities are concrete jungles, then survival of the fittest involves learning how to develop chameleon-like adaptation strategies.
When it comes to style trends, you might have a case of déja vu this spring as, once again, black-and-white garments and accessories bump their colorful counterparts off the fashion grid.
It’s universally inspiring when a passion project, especially one rooted in altruistic or solidaristic ideals, morphs into a full-fledged movement with a clear mission and an organized network of professionals laboring towards a collective goal.
Just realized Valentine’s Day is this Friday?
I’ve been starving to behold some truly innovative, exhilarating beauty looks during New York Fashion Week AW14 — and, after countless shows in which models wore no lipstick, only a touch of eyeliner, and sheer pink or beige nails, I finally got my wish with the cosmic-inspired makeup at the Rodarte AW14 show.
The Emerson FW14 show, held on the evening of February 7th at Lincoln Center in New York City, was a beguiling witching hour thanks to the unique perspective of designer Jackie Fraser-Swan, who combined eerie, cryptic, and sinister elements with defiant punk attitudes, a hefty dose of rock ‘n’ roll coolness, and just a touch of femininity and romance.
If you follow my on Instagram and Twitter, you probably saw some of the posts I uploaded on Friday evening, when I was backstage at the Korto Momolu Fall 2014 show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City.
Whether you’re shopping for the object of your affection, your closest friend, your mom, or your baby sister this Valentine’s Day, they’ll be swept off their feet by these special trinkets.
Ten years after Manhattanite Fiona Kotur launched her eponymous handbag line, KOTUR — comprised primarily of luxurious clutches and minaudieres fashioned out of snakeskin, mosaic shells, mirrored tiles, elegant brocade fabrics, silk faille, polished and faceted metal, Swarovski crystals, and crinkled and embossed metallic fabrics — the esteemed designer has unveiled a new shoe collection.
Even if you haven’t been struck by Cupid’s arrow in the recent past, you’ll likely be smitten by these charming, sweet, thoughtful goodies, which capture the affectionate spirit of Valentine’s Day.
