Backstage at Daniel Vosovic F/W 2013 Presentation
Posted 03/28/2013 by Lara
Ombre nails, bold lips, aristocratic next day hair — needless to say I loved everything about being backstage at CFDA designer, Daniel Vosovic’s Fall 2013 Fashion Preview. (If you missed my post on the collection from earlier this month click HERE). Daniel is a true perfectionist, right down to the messy hair. His messy hair was even perfect!
Hosted at the W Hotel in Union Square I was greeted backstage by the beauty team. New makeup line, MAKE created the look in collaboration with Vosovic. Led by Kristin Hilton, MAKE’s team Continue Reading…

Daniel Vosovic Fall/Winter 2013 Fashion Presentation
Posted 03/11/2013 by Lara
That Daniel Vosovic… I tell you, I’ve had the divine pleasure of knowing him and that million dollar smile of his pre-Project Runway (we went to college together) and watching that brilliant mind of his evolve is such a joy. Especially since this may be favorite collection of his yet! Inspired by the modern day female aristocrat (who has a hint of a rebellion in her). This bold woman cravesa colorful, Continue Reading…

NYFW Karen Walker Fall ’13 Kicks Up The Cool
Posted 03/08/2013 by Tiffany
We have always looked to Karen Walker’s collections for that unexplainable hint of cool, with a splash of quirk. Well this season, the mix of textures was the perfect storm of feminine florals, drool worthy draping and a color palette that wouldn’t quit. Described as “An alternative view to prettiness” this menagerie of textured fabrics and super styling (no one rocks socks like the Karen Walker girl) proved that beauty has many layers, and some stellar accessories.

NYFW: Backstage Beauty at Costello Tagliapietra Fall 2013 Fashion Show
Posted 03/02/2013 by Lara
I’m always in constant amazement of these two suspender wearing, burly gentleman Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra of Costello Tagliapietra and the beautiful, feminine collections they create every season. I just about told them as much when I finally met the duo last year at a party hosted by Cyndi Lauper (brain still exploding meeting that many people I admire in one night).
This New York Fashion Week season marks the first time I went backstage for one of their shows. And I haven’t been able to get this red/pink lip created by Maki Ryoke for MAC Cosmetics out of my head ever since. Literally that punch of color (the combination of MAC Lady Danger lipstick with MAC Pro Process Magenta Pigment on top) took my breath away. If there’s one lip look I’d like to take away from this season, this is it! Continue Reading…

NYFW: Monika Chiang Fall 2013 Presentation
Posted 02/17/2013 by Lara
“My inspiration for Fall/Winter 2013 began with a recurring dream I’ve been having for years. In the dream, I’m running as fast as I can until I take off into flight. I also recently visited an exhibit with these really interesting midcentury photographs of birds at MOMA and became fascinated with the shapes they create with their wings while in flight. So you’ll see a lot of graphic shapes in the collection that were inspired by those references. With regard to tailoring, I began thinking a lot about vintage military and aviator uniforms shapes while developing the silhouettes for the season.” – Monika Chiang, Designer

NYFW: Boy Meets Girl at Nicole Miller Fall 2013
Posted 02/16/2013 by Lara
For the Fall 2013 collection, Nicole Miller took inspiration from “girls who dress like boys”. And while there is a menswear influence, the designs were far from masculine. The collection consisted of sleekly tailored silhouettes in a deep, textured color palettes. Menswear inspired looks were juxtaposed with feminine fabrics, prints, and leather and fur accents.
While in previous seasons dresses dominated the runway, I was happy to see more of a focus on pants — as she has some of the most flattering skinnies on the market. Also the jackets stole the show — the prints and fits from both fitted zip-ups to long coats with fur trims had me swooning. Her collection of Continue Reading…
