Stephen Burrows NYFW Fall 2011

Yesterday was one of the most empowering days for me! It's Black History Month and I got to work for one of the top names in  Black Fashion, Designer Stephen Burrows! Among the attendees were Bethann Hardison and June Ambrose, 2 more prominent names in Black Fashion!

The clothing was definitely a classic, but retro spin on sportwear. Lot's of Jersey Knits, with Red and Blue hues in solids and contrasting stripes, then a jolt of neutrals. Pairing the garment with Christian Louboutins made everything evenmore glamorous and alluring!

I was happy to have been a part of such and amazingly fabulous show!

Donna Karan Fall 2011 - 'Pearls of Wisdom'

First off Happy Valentine's Day!

Today I worked Donna Karan and what better way than to celebrate LOVE by doing what you LOVE to do most...FASHION!

Donna Karan is one of the most sophisticated labels for women and definitely one of my fav...very classic, with a modern feel!
The Fall 2011 Donna Karan Collection carries over from last season's neutral palette with grey and beige hues. The looks were very intricate and detailed from the folds and draping, right down to the accessories!  Only 7 models had second looks changing into beautifully flowing evening gowns!

Lots of Fur, Chiffon, and Tweed filled this collection. Looks were accessorized with white, gray and pink pearl necklaces and earrings, long gloves with deep dramatic fur cuffs,fur stoles and chiffon headwraps! Very Breakfast at Tiffany's in my book!

If you know Donna Karan personally then you know she's very meticulous and detailed and loves to create perfection at every show and this was definitely flawless in every aspect!

NYFW-Honor Fall 2011 Collection

Yesterday I worked the HONOR Fall 2011 Fashion Show.  If you haven't heard of HONOR before, that's ok, the label is about a year old, and this is the 2nd Fashion Week that designer Giovanna Randall, debuted in. Let's just say she's definitely making her mark in the industry and one to watch in the upcoming seasons.

The Fall 2011 Fashion Show was held at the Highline Ballroom located in Chelsea. A very feminine collection with glamorous detailing such as sequin encrusted jackets, and elegantly chic separates. Lot's of flowing silk and funky retro prints filled the Fall 2011 collection. NARS provided the make-up for the show and gave the models a very bold and punk chic look ( soft, yet edgy)! All in all the show was a complete success.

In such a short time the label is skyrocketing in the industry,the turnout for the show was massive and the brand will be opening it's first store this fall in the meatpacking district. For now though, checkout HONOR online at http://www.honornyc.com/
