Mara Hoffman Spring 2014

In a few weeks, I am going to be starting classes from Central Saint Martins - University of the Arts London. One of their awesome graduates that has gone on to start her own line is Mara Hoffman. I love all of the bright colors, patterns, and textures she uses. She attended Parsons and received a Masters in Fine Arts and then went on to pursue more education from CSM-UAL. Anyways, her Spring 2014 collection that she just showed at NYFW was awesome! I cannot wait to see all of these clothes in stores next Spring! 

London Fashion Week Spring 2014: Seen and Heard

And.... another Fashion Week is over. London Fashion Week finished strong featuring gorgeous collections from Tom Ford, Christopher Kane, and (of course) Burberry Prorsum. Some of the emerging trends were bomber jackets, flower prints, frayed edges, and pleats. Sienna Miller and Kate Moss appeared many times and were dressed to impress at all times!

Handbag Love

After following fashion week, I have been noticing more and more women carrying medium sized designer bags that can be used season after season. These bags are made out of some of the best leather and can last some people a lifetime. These are some of my very favorite ones that I have seen!

Following NYFW RTW Spring 2014 (part 3)

Today marks the final day of NYFW. Wow that flew by! People always say they save the best for last and, in my opinion, Ralph Lauren really proved that statement to be true. His collection was full of black and white (a trend we saw throughout the week in numerous collections) as well as lots of bright, bold colors! I LOVED it! I also loved the way Ralph Lauren styled his models; the simple makeup and hair with bolder accessories looked awesome.

More NYFW: Osklen Spring 2014

After dreaming for years about being invited to a show at NYFW, it finally happened! I was invited to attend the Osklen show that took place today at 7pm at the Tents at Lincoln Center! Unfortunately, because the show fell in the middle of the week (and school is still a priority :/), I did not get to go. 

Anyways, to be honest, before I received the invitation, I had not heard of this brand. After doing some research, I have found that this brand has done and is continuing to do some really awesome things! Oskar Metsavaht is the Creative Director of Osklen. He launched Osklen in 1989 as a lifestyle brand. The following is an excerpt from the brand description on the MB Fashion Week website: "Oskar Metsavaht continuously draws inspiration for his designs from his dynamic lifestyle. With a culturally rich life and a love of art, architecture, photography, film, travel and sports; he channels his interests into a wide range of creative endeavors."Many of his designs are very simple and versatile with interesting lines. The MB Fashion Week website also says that "in 2011, Osklen received the title of “Emergent Luxury Brand of the Year”. Osklen has 62 stores in Brazil, as well as a large international presence with flagship stores in Tokyo, New York, Miami, Milan, Rome, Buenos Aires, and Punta Del Este. There are Osklen showrooms in Italy, France, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Australia, Japan and the United States. The brand is also available in top tier specialty and department stores internationally." 

Like many of the other Spring 2014 Collections we have seen in New York this week, Osklen's collection is full of black and white contrast, layering, and sharp lines. These are my favorites from tonight's show:
