Son Jung Wan- F/W 2018

One of my favorite designers to follow during NYFW has to be Son Jung Wan. I went to one of her shows a few seasons back and I was so delighted to get an invite to her show this season.

Her show this season (F/W 2018) was all about bright and bold colors and mixing fabrics (from silk, to denim, to velvet, to fur). I personally loved the amazing outerwear and all of the embellished pants. I know I'm normally a dress girl...but maybe next season I'll be rocking some serious bell bottoms.

Here are some of my favorite looks from the show...

NYFW- Francesca Liberatore

This morning I attended the Francesca Liberatore Spring/Summer 2018 runway show and it was full of flowing fabrics, bold prints, beautiful colors, and lace.

Femininity took over this show. The addition of lace, silk, and ruffles brought a ladylike feel to some of her menswear inspired pieces.

Francesca Liberatore's collection was inspired by time travel, the Middle East, watch mechanisms, rural America, plane engines, Antoinette's France, and beauty resplendent in all of her forms.

If you didn't see my coverage of the show on my Insta Story or my Snapchat, please be sure to follow along! 

NYFW- Greta Constantine

New York Fashion Week has officially started! Tonight I was lucky enough to attend Greta Constantine's Spring/Summer 2018 presentation. It was absolutely fabulous. So rarely do I attend a show and actually love every piece in the collection. Now if i can just make some more room in my closet...

This collection by the Toronto based duo of Greta Constantine (Stephen Wong and Kirk Pickergill) is full of vibrant colors, sparkling sequins, full tulle, and flowing fabrics. The juxtaposition between menswear pieces and the tulle skirts shows the true range of the designers and their line. 

Pickersgill and Wong work together in their Toronto based studio- conceptualizing, exploring, and challenging the fashions of today for the women of tomorrow.

This was Greta Constatine's first NYFW, having traditionally shown in Paris. They invaded New York with their Canadian-Girl-Gang (yes, the models are also from Canada). I have to say, they have definitely started off my NYFW with a bang!

My two favorite looks of the night have to be the gold sequin Bogdan jumpsuit with angel style sleeves and the gold sequin Ordell dress with the black silk wool teacup style skirt and black tulle Crinoline. Which looks are your favorite???

Please be sure to follow my Insta-story and my Snapchat for some other photos and video of the presentation.

NYFW- Gemy Maalouf

Gemy Maalouf's presentation at the Bowery Hotel last night was was an elegant affair that was perfectly choreographed. Full of sequins, tulle, and lace...this collection had something for everyone.The dresses were so beautiful, it made Gail and I say how much we wished we had an elegant occasion to wear them to. Sigh...maybe one day.

I took these photos with my phone last night. They are just a few of my favorite looks from her collection. Isn't that dress in the bottom right image with the bow straps beautiful? My favorite look of the night!

NYFW- Anastasiia Ivanova

I was so happy to have the opportunity to stop by Anastasiia Ivanova's presentation last night. My good friend Gail joined me at the show in SoHo. It was so wonderful to see these designs up close. The colors and prints incorporated in these feminine designs left me wanting more...and really left me wanting to get a number of these pieces in my closet!

Anastasiia Ivanova states-

 The Collection is divided into 3 blocks. The first block is a combination of modern art geometry and classy silhouettes. The complicated texture of French jacquard and gentle eco chamois are interpreted in a very feminine way. Comfort and elegance are features found in every piece of the block.

If you have an eye-for-style, you will definitely love the second clock with its ribbed bohemian textured chiffon and detailed sophisticated cut. Color palette- is a main part of the story. Infinity, wisdom, calmness and profundity, all these are the meanings of the blue color, which is transmitted into fabric's ornamentation.

The third part of the collection praises femininity and grace. It is about more graphical and refined silhouettes, maxi dresses and pattern inspired by rebellious Van Gogh stokes. This part is the perfect treat for women wanting to feel fragile and in the same time fabulous.
