This morning, I once again stopped by Telemundo NY’s “Acceso Total” — this time to talk about some of the fashion trends we’ve been seeing on the red carpet and what we might expect to encounter at this year’s Latin Billboard Awards.
As part of a three-year partnership with the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), Alice + Olivia just debuted three one-of-a-kind pieces hand-painted by Spanish-American visual artist Domingo Zapata, who specializes in neo-Expressionist paintings, often incorporating mixed media elements, graffiti motifs, and collage techniques.
John Updike once wrote, “What art offers is space — a certain breathing room for the spirit.” In these modern times, the mediums through which to explore art, to unleash one’s creativity through the creation of this meditational space, are seemingly limitless, with options ranging from canvas, posters, stickers, murals, ceramics, vinyl toys, comic books, computer and mobile phone screens, stained glass windows, billboards — and, of course, fashion apparel and accessories.

Take a journey through the American film cannon or explore TV fashion history and you’ll find that, for decades, the unimposing, streamlined, sporty but minimalist design of Keds slip-on and lace-up sneakers has been considered a crowning example of laid-back all-American style — which is why it was the footwear of choice for Audrey Hepburn in Two for the Road, Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing, Tiffani Thiessen in Saved by the Bell, and Alyssa Milano in Who’s The Boss (to name but a few examples).
Some people spend all year looking forward to the New York City Marathon, the Kentucky Derby, or Super Bowl Sunday — for me, that sort of anticipation is reserved for such epic events as the semi-annual Rebecca Minkoff Sample Sale, which kicks off on Monday, April 20th in New York City and Los Angeles, as well as on Tuesday, April 21st online at RebeccaMinkoff.com.
What happens when you combine the colorful, quirky, illustration-heavy aesthetic of Australian fashion brand Black Milk Clothing with Solestruck’s penchant for bold footwear silhouettes with audacious patterns and unexpected details?
Did you know that April 12ht through April 18th is unofficially known as National Library Day?
