NYFW: COSTELLO TAGLIAPIETRA F/11
March 1, 2011
Costello Tagliapietra’s colorful collection is hitting Fall with Spring-like hues. Powder-colored silk & bright patterns contrast well in the collection with fur accents & sweater gowns. This season’s show held at Milk Studios is always a pleasure to be in -well except the lines & the patrolled elevators, but other than that, it’s great. Entering the runway area, the lady walking right in front of me missed a step & ate it! She got up quick though, I didn’t even need to bend down to help her up haha.. What a booming entrance to a bursting collection by designer duo Jeffrey Costello & Robert Tagliapietra. Check it for yourself:

NYFW: ALTHEA HARPER FALL 2011
February 26, 2011
The Project Runway Season 6 star’s Fall 2011 collection is immersed in desaturated shades & excellent patterns, as was her last couple collections. Althea always brings in great linear effects and awesome cuts on her pieces. My favorite parts of the collection were the sheer & opaque fabric patching, her choice in prints, & sweet cut-outs.

NYFW: PERRY ELLIS FALL 2011
February 21, 2011
My New York trip this season kicked off with Perry Ellis opening up my first day in town. After a late-night arrival & half an hour in the morning, I was quickly replenished after a rushed revisit to the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week tents with moderate doses of Starbucks Fraps & bottled yogurt. With no ails, the hunky Perry Ellis runway show tailored to the traditional gentlemen with classic layering & modern styling. My favorite details are with the hunter’s shoulder patched coats, shawl collars, chunky socks, & stone-washed color schemes. After all forty looks made its debut, the models took a group stroll rockin’ matching long sleeves & white long johns – nice & fitted. Check the full Perry Ellis Fall 2011 collection below, photos taken by Winnie Jeng of FORMzine! My photos are the seating point-of-view like above!
LET THE FASHION WEEK MADNESS ENSUE
February 12, 2011
Back at Lincoln Center for Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week! Flooded with fashionistas, media, & celebs, I’ll be running in and out of the tents once again to catch shows & presentations for Fall/Winter fashion collections, & not to mention, the afterparties! The week consists of constant running, lines, lots of waiting, and a full diet of bottled Fraps, Fiji Water, & Sauvignon Blanc. They know that the open bars at fashion week are absolutely necessary!
