Rodarte

Ok so before I began talking about my favorite pieces in the Rodarte show, let me justify my fascination with the Light Cadmium Red color that I have been talking about endlessly for the past few days. I am an Art minor and somehow unconsciously I integrate this color in all my paintings. Every single one of them has this color incorporated into it. So I hope that explains my fascination with that color.

So lets go back to track The Rodarte show. So lets give some background information about Rodarte, the brand which was started in 2005 is run by two sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy. (Random fact, the helped in designing some of the costumes in the movie The Black Swan). What are my favorite pieces from the show?

Marc Jacobs Show

So I did not get to see the Marc Jacobs show last night, but this morning I got to see it! The tribute he paid to the 60’s was quite stunning! The color pallet may not have many fluorescent colors- BUT AGAIN THE RED! and the lines of course!!    My favorite piece of all?

New York Fashion Week part 2

What a day!! If there is a standing ovation today I believe it should be given to Carolina Herrera! She also proves exactly what the color of the season is going to be  Light Cadmium Red. The runway show is in every way breathtaking the red lace and the cuts are breathtaking! Take a look at these photos. ImageTaken by Fillippo Flor/Gorunway.com

The bottom dress is the definition of effortlessly chic. The see through material creates such movement that adds to the effect of the dress!

New York Fashion Week

I am officially addicted to Instagram and Twitter. Following all the designers, bloggers, and stylists every move and specially photos. Well here is my idea of whats going to be in so far: (shhh don’t tell them I am giving you this information)

I am actually ecstatic that this Spring collection still carries those vibrant colors. But instead of the color pallet being neon they are heading more towards the pastel shades. Light Cadmium Red I believe will be the winning and most prominent color of the season. What a color!! I believe its the perfect transition from the bordeaux color-thats turning heads this year.

Lets talk shoes, I see straps have made their come back! Whether it is strappy heels or a simple strap on the ankle, its in this season. I also see a heavier push towards closed shoes and even knee high gladiator shoes in this Spring collection. Also go crazy with your shoe colors this season!!

Don’t forget to follow the fashion shows!! My favorite so far are Victoria Beckham, Diane von Fürstenberg, and Zac Posen.

 

About Me!

I have always tried to express myself in art and fashion so this is taking my hobby and talents to the second level. My inspirations derive from my diverse background that is formulated from living in The USA and The Middle-East, as well as spending any break or vacation I get in Europe. I hope you will enjoy following me and I will try to bring my best to the table.

Thank You,
