{Fashion Week} Part 1: New York : F/W RTW13

And it starts off with New York February 7 - 14. Spring has not even hit us here in Toronto as we sit in three feet of snow. But the show must go on! 

* ALTAZURRA



Joseph Altuzara took his signals from the street. Coat dresses with tiny waists, super constructed double breasted power suits with shiny gunmetal buttons, topped by cropped vinyl boleros. He also used it for shrunken motorcycle jackets. Thrilled about this and happy to see the motorcycle jacket has not faded away yet. 
So far this is one of my favorite collections.

* ALEXANDER WANG


The show began with music by Survivors "Eye of The Tiger". Influenced by boxing, over sized fur mittens {that looked like boxing gloves}, worn with grey snoods and shoe cozies. Over sized coats with dropped waists. 
As for beauty and hair this season he delivered cognac ponytails and sand stone inspired nail art. The makeup was simple yet strong with a wash of grey eye shadow to create a hooded effect.





* PRABAL GURUNG 


The influence of military was strongly present. Gurung said he came across Ukraine`s Asgardsa Tribe white doing his research on the web. Actually I googled it and came across this. Asgarda known as the amazons of the Ukraine. A tribe of empowered women from the Carpathian Mountains who train in martial arts.

Prabal clearly found this intriguing and it shows in this strong collection. He draped silky glossy fabrics into gowns and cocktail dresses with cutouts at the waist and accessorized them with braided leather belts and harnesses.

Trends: Peplum, cutouts, slits, brocade, military inspired outerwear and fur.
Colours: Olive, navy, crimson and gold.
Shoes: Casadei for Prabal Gurung gladiator buckled boots and shoes.







* 3.1 PHILLIP LIM


This season did not disappoint.I Love this collection because it is so wearable.

Everything from side zipped tops, elongated moto vests (Love these), layered coats and very cool slouchy tapered pants, luxe cross body bags and chiffon dresses with sparkles at the neck.  Denim covered in custom patches and over the knee sandal boots. Divine may I say. 




Chocolate lips and mussed up french hair
