For her debut collection, Erin Barr was inspired by Marilyn Monroe. But while looking at the Wisconsin-born designer‘s Spring/Summer 2013 presentation, you won’t find the media-adored, glammed-up version of Monroe. Instead, you’ll discover the iconic bombshell as she is off the set and in her own clothes. Continue reading »
Inspired by Brazil, Farah Angsana allowed her Spring/Summer 2013 collection to transition from black and white to long chiffon gowns in an array of colors, like sky blue, green and orange, also featuring a coral and turquoise beading (which was used on two of my favorite pieces found three and four looks before the finale). Ultimately resulting … Continue reading »
When my invitation to Rochambeau‘s Spring/Summer 2013 presentation arrived in the mail, I was ecstatic. Ever since I reviewed their fall/winter collection, I have been greatly anticipating what was in store for the menswear brand’s take on spring and summer.

In fact, after viewing the presentation, I don’t know a single girl who wouldn’t take her pick from this awesome loot, whether for a first date or … Continue reading »
After dealing with the stresses of the world this morning (i.e. my upstairs neighbor’s radiator bursting, adding a heavy rain to the NYFW-induced hurricane state of my studio apartment), I realized how nice it is to be in an industry where I’m completely happy and my work — like reviewing Spring/Summer 2013 collections at Mercedes-Benz … Continue reading »
So after work (yep, I’m a copy producer for a fashion brand by day, fashion blogger/street style photographer by night) I thought I’d go snap a few style pictures at Lincoln Center outside of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. I didn’t expect to get much because of the time, and I was right. Found a few good … Continue reading »
