Malan Breton presented his Spring/Summer 2014 collection in a presentation style inspired setting at The Box at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Fashion show goers were welcomed into the space with haunting opera songs sung by the powerful Yujin Kim who wore a strapless black gown that covered several feet of the floor around her. Show attendees had the chance to walk the space and see the models – in couples – who were lined up in a semi-circle around the floor.
In a refreshing and straight-forward approach, Son Jung Wan’s Spring 2014 collection exudes everything the natural season itself represents – light. Light colors (off-white, light gray, citron, and peach), and light fabrics (silk with chiffon wings, twill, cotton).
The Art Institute of New York City featured 10 designers – 6 current students, 4 recent graduates. A diverse range of themes was presented – minimalist color-blocking, earthy explorations in tailoring, and deliberate structuring rounded out a showcasing of the Institute’s most promising designers of the future.
We love when we get a first glimpse at what’s to come for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Today we bring you a sneak peek at Son Jung Wan and what the designer says we can expect, “This season I was inspired by Morocco and the romantic, picturesque sun-drenched Sahara Desert. It is such a mysterious place where you can wander, get lost and find peace and beauty.”
The Art Institute of New York City’s next crop of young designers will bring their fashions to the fashion industry’s largest stage – Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Taking their skills from the classroom to the runway, six students and four recent graduates will present their Spring 2014 capsule collections. Meet Darhel Anthony, one of the designers we will showing off his creations this year.
VENEXIANA is known for collections that literally dazzle and the newest collection is no exception. Katie Stern has designed a collection that not only sparkles buy also incorporates the luxuriousness of Fur to raise the level of opulence.
For Fall 2013 VENEXIANA merged Jazz Age Glamour with Punk sensibility. The palette leaned towards the metallic, and included mermaid gowns in pewter, copper, silver and shiny jewel tones.
The hem length ran the spectrum from mini to mermaid. One of my favorite looks was a short golden embellished cocktail dress topped with a fur jacket and paired with funky booties. This look perfectly encapsulates the VENEXIANA aesthetic of – Rock on the Red-Carpet.
Due to the exciting results from last year’s New York Fashion Week, Leather Japan decided to hold another presentation for this season at Box at Lincoln Center on Wednesday, February 13th. Teaming up as Japan Leather Goods Development Committee, 8 leading dapper Japanese brands showcased their leather products.
Waiting in line to see the Custo Barcelona Fall 2013 show was like waiting in line to get into the hottest club in the city. The Box Theater at Lincoln Center was packed literally from wall to wall with people. The fall collection offered a wealth of luxe knits for men and women and a slight overload of prints and overdone styling. That’s not to say that the collection didn’t have some great looks because it did. Their take on men’s suits was refreshing with bold prints in muted colors. The styling of the suits was quite questionable because shawls were thrown over them. There were even man capes included in the collection.
