I can’t believe I missed Rosie Assoulin in NYC Fashion Week!!
I’m loving the modern sculptural touch in her elegant, layered, tiered clothing using neutral shades and raw textures…now that was a mouthful! And evidence to how beautifully she’s compiled several elements of fashion into one single look!
The NYC runway left us with a glimpse of:
…although as always there were & should be exceptions to the rule.
Here are a few of my favorite things:
Angel Sanchez
Carolina Herrera
Custo Barcelona

Reem Acra
Vivienne Hu
And that my friends, is my wrap up of NYC Fashion Week.
Had my few WOW moments on the runway. Designers Costello Tagliapietra were my absolute favorite. Hervé Léger came in close second – his designs reminded me of the movie Fifth Element! This year, NYC raised the bar!
Now looking forward to Italy, Turkey, Tokyo and India!
New York Fashion Week kicked off last week on February 11th with Designers showcasing their 2015 Fall Collections.
Today’s spotlight shines on Designers Costello Tagliapietra.
Nicknamed the “lumberjacks of fashion” in their debut in Vogue, Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra have also been a large part of the Brooklyn Movement. The Wall Street Journal claimed, “they anticipated the hipster movement. They’re pioneers.” Fashionista said, “In addition to cutting killer dresses season after season, their uniform–plaid, suspenders, and those signature grizzled beards make them the original cuddly hipsters of the fashion world.”
I am rather sad to report that after perusing through hundreds of pictures of designers and their ensemble showcased at New York Fashion Week last month, I not once experienced an AHA moment! déçu!!!! If this is what Spring is going to look like in America, then I’m not jiving it.
But…I still went through the luxury of handpicking my best moments from the ensemble delivered. Don’t hold your breath though…
Long overdue but necessary, my picks! One thing for sure – colors dominate!
1. Marc Jacobs
2. Oscar de la Renta
3. Ralph Lauren
4. Tory Burch
5. Zac Posen
6. Victoria Beckham
7. Ostwald Helgason (my personal favorite!)
