New York Fashion Week: Spring/Summer 2013 (Day 4)

Yayy! We’re on day 4 of my New York Fashion Week favorites! Halfway there so stay with me, please?

Lela Rose

I think her collection is for women who love their feminine side. Those who watch fairy tale movies and hold on to them. Perfect for me, don’t you think? :D My favorites were the ones with the lace overlays, so pretty!

DKNY by Donna Karan

First of all, let me just tell you that I love how she used black, white and yellow, my favorite colors! Also, her collection looks so funky, kinda like something Andy Torres would wear. The shoes are so hoooott, too!

Diane Von Furstenburg

Her transition from classic to fun clothes are amazing! I loved the extremes.

Zac Posen

I think Zac Posen was taking Kate Middleton to mind when he was planning the designs. I mean, if you’ll look at them, some were perfect for midday tea at the gardens, some for cotillions and other royal events. 

I know you’re probably sick of me photobombing your dashboards with photos from NFYW. But hey, you can always unfollow, no hard feelings, really :) But if you’re enjoying these posts, you can always see the others here.

New York Fashion Week: Spring/Summer 2013 (Day 3)

More NYFW Favorites! I know I’ve been posting too much but I’m on a Fashion Week high and that will be the case for the next month. Sorry I’m not sorry. Remember, you can always unfollow! :D

Monique Lhuillier

I know she was the last one to present on the third day of fashon week but I just had to bump her up the very top, not just because she’s a Filipina but because she is one of my favorite designers of all time (together with Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig for Marchesa, and Vera Wang). If by the time I get married I’ve earned more than enough, I’ll probably wear a Monique Lhuiller Gown. Although no bridals on her S/S Collection, the gowns are still very stunning!

Ruffian by Claud Morais and Brian Wolk

So far, the most youthful collection I’ve seen so far, and not just because of the Chucks (which I love!). The colors and prints are perfect for teenagers and young adults.

Marissa Webb

The taylored clothes are so pretty. They’re perfect for sophisticated women who like to be taken seriously.

Jill Stuart

Very budoir-themed but the class was still kept due to the lengths and silhouettes. A mix of sexy and sophistication.

Hervé Léger by Lubov and Max Azria

I’ve always known Hervé Léger for their bandage dresses and their collection was still full of them. But there were still 

That’s it for Day 3! To see my other favorites from NYFW, click here.

New York Fashion Week: Spring/Summer 2013 (Day 2)

Day two of New York Fashion Week! If you’ve seen my last post and thought that it was painfully long, wait ‘till you see this! You know what they say: more designers, more fun!

Concept Korea by Son Jung Wan, Choiboko, Kye, Lie Sang Bong, and Cres. E Dim

In my opinion, Koreans were the ones who further developed the fashion hype here in the Philippines. Yes, Filipinos dress well before that but they started experimenting more when Koreans started to come in. Concept Korea’s collection proves that Korean Fashion is definitely evolving and will be here to stay.

Noon by Noor Rashid Al Khalifa and Haya Mohammed Al Khalifa

The orange and green pieces are so beautiful! But my favorite, however, are the bronze sequined shorts and jacket. 

Rebecca Minkoff

Her collection is more focused casual looks but I am amazed about her mix of digital print and ombre. It’s so cool! I also want this one white bralet in my closet!

Pamella Roland

Warning: major photobomb! I like almost every single one of her designs because they’re so classy, because of the lengths, cuts and colors, with hints of sexy-ness at the same time. I’m in love!

Nicole Miller

Another collection that I’m so inlove with! I can’t really describe how it is, but the combination of colors and edge make everything look fun! (Also, I’m placing a pagebreak now so just click on Read More to see the rest of the photos)

New York Fashion Week Favorites (Day One)

I am SO excited about the September and October months because as we, sartorial slaves, all know, these are THE months for Fashion Weeks. For four weeks, four of the fashion capitals of the world (namely Paris, Milan, London and New York) will be showcasing The Spring/Summer 2013 Collections of our favorite luxury designers. New York Fashion Week (otherwise known as Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week) however, was held last week (London is ongoing as I type this, next week is Milan then, last but DEFINITELY not least, Paris) and let me tell you this: THEY OPENED PRETTY DARN WELL THAT I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT FASHION WEEKS! Let me show you my favorite designs and designers from NYFW:

Note: As much as I want to say that I went, sadly, I didn’t because, well, I can’t afford to go and I’m not invited (LOL!). I got the photos from the official website of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and Style.com

Nicholas K by Nicholas and Christopher Kunz

Their collection was mainly composed of anoraks mixed with silk-satin but I must say that my favorites were the knitted cover-ups. They look so comfy and laidback.

BCBGMAXAZRIA by Max and Lubov Azria

I love the harness details mixed with soft elements such as lace and chiffon and they’re mostly in black and white (there were colors too, though) which make them very classy and timeless.

Kaelen by Kaelen Haworth

I think her collection is stunning! She has utilized current trends such as neon yellow, black and white prints, and peplum cuts. Looks very wearable, too. Plus, SHOULDER PADS!

Richard Chai Love by Richard Chai

Variety and range were definitely present in Richard Chai’s collection. There were lamé, sequins, sheer nylon, digital floral prints and others but my favorite were the uncomplicated ones (WHAT?? THIS MUST BE A MIRACLE!). For some reason, they captured my attention more.

Tadashi Shoji

His collection is the most Red Carpet ready, on the first day, at least! Upon research, I’ve learned that he used elements he saw during his travels as his inspiration; a table cloth in a Market in Pasadena, Weather from the West coast, caves in Donhuang and many others.

Monika Chiang

Her collection’s aesthetic focuses on street style. While I may not be able to pull the street look off, some of her clothes I would wear on a whim. Like her printed pants and party dresses.

ARISE Magazine Presents: African Icons (Ozwald Boateng OBE, Gavin Rajah, Tiffany Amber, Tsemaye Binitie, and Maki-Oh)

The Art Institute of New York City

I know, I know, I practically photobombed your dashboards but I’m not even half sorry. I’m just so excited about Fashion Week so I can’t help but post the photos of the really great ones, and THAT is just DAY ONE! You can unfollow me anytime if you think it’s too much to bear, though. LOL!
