REBECCA MINKOFF FW 14 15

If you need any inspiration for your looks next Fall, just go find some ideas in the Rebecca Minkoff's collection.

This season, the designer kept it very simple. No complicated ideas at all.

The theme was the well known girl-meets-boy; very casual, very easy.

As Brittany Adams said,  what Rebecca presented to us was some really "cool, fashion-forward clothes and accessories to wear on an everyday basis".

Lots of skirts, such as pencil skirts or even asymmetrical.

The coats looked incredible in assorted colors, such as beige, pink, gray, dark teal and blue. Obviously, there was also plenty bomber jackets, ready to fulfill any stylish girl's wishes.

With such a wide-ranging palette of colors it is impossible to fall in love with Minkoff's collection.

ENJOY YOUR WEEK!

ZIMMERMANN FW 14 15

Nicky Zimmermann deserves a lot of bows.

This designer is the dream of any romantic girl out there. And who said pink is the only romantic color? What about Bondi Blue? We already saw this color at the BCBG Max Azria fashion show, but here it appears in a much bigger scale. My reaction to it: I love it! It is such a bubbly color but goes so well with the Winter mood. Couldn't ask for a better pallet for next year!

Oversized coats and biker jackets were also very seen in this fashion show. Will this be a trend? Personally, I wouldn't mind it. If the look is getting too chic or too formal, you can always add a maxi coat and it instantly gets cooler.

I believe the main stars of this fashion show were the silhouettes. There were just so many but looked so right. The problem of presenting too many silhouettes or too many fabrics, as seen in this show, is that the collection may not look that cohesive, but, in this case, everything looked great together.

The little bows models were wearing on their necks gave that "somethin', somethin'" to the fashion show.

HAVE A NICE DAY!

NICHOLAS K FW 14 15

Nicholas K is not the kind of brand where you see "pretty" things but it is definitely the brand that will cheer you with the most edgy ones.

Christopher and Nicholas Kunz are not the typical designers that surprise the audience every single season. As Lauren Sherman said on Style.com, "it can be repetitive season upon season, but that doesn't mean it's not good". We can confirm it just by looking at their models. 

What distinguished this collection from the others, in other words, the newness of this collection was the use of denim.  The siblings used it pretty much and, according to Nicholas, they did it in their own way.

But where did they get their inspiration?

We don't even need to talk to any of them in order to understand what inspired them. Their collection talks by themselves: the Honneywell boots, the bunched sweatpants, the chunky cardigans, the nautical rope bracelets... Want more?

Their inspiration was very nautical. They basically retracted the "life of commercial fishermen", as Lauren Sherman said.

Their pallet was pretty much we are used to see, not only from them but from many designers, black, grey, white, navy blue, burgundy and brown.

The collection had a very urban vibe that we are so used to coming from these designers.

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND, EVERYBODY!

BCBG MAX AZRIA FW 14 15

After a huge break, we are back!

And Fashion Week is what's putting us back on track.

Let's start with one of the first fashion shows: BCBG Max Azria.

This is the kind of brand that as a particular style and sometimes we might find it a little bit "boring", although "boring" is a very strong word. "Predictable" is maybe a better adjective.

And, since the brand is celebrating their twenty-fifth anniversary and they wanted to make a retrospective of all the shows they have presented, this could have been a show very similar to what we have seen before. Truth is, this time it was amazing! Obviously and thankfully, the essence of the brand was there but there was also a surprise element that is so important in the fashion business; it is what keeps all these markets alive.

Lubov and Max Azria were still very faithful to the brand's roots but they added a new ingredient that made all the diference. 

Their jackets were just flawless. I believe what I enjoyed the most was the overcoats. They just looked amazing on all the models. Both, coats and jackets, were oversized which gives such a cool vibe to all the looks. The bomber and the biker jackets are so in this Winter and, from what we could see, they will probably be a must have next Fall Winter again.

Besides the oversized coats and jackets, we also spotted ponchos and some clutches that could also turn into hand warmers (how great is that?).

The pallet of colors is very "Winter-like": a lot of grey, a lot of camel, nude, old pink, a splash of blue stripes.

We also did see a lot (seriously, a lot!) of fur (shearling, fox, raccoon and rabbit), which obviously enriched all the collection.

Overall, it was a beautiful show.

ENJOY YOUR SATURDAY!
