As promised

Thanks to Youtube, I was able to catch highlights from the first few days of Fashion Week. Here are a few designers... I will definitely be back later to blog about Tracey Reese, Daine von Furstenberg, Heatherette, and more.

BCBG Max Azria Spring 2009

The choice of colors and flowy fabrics was genius. I absolutely loved the tailored rompers. Such classic and elegant styles with a touch of sex appeal. BCBG Max Azria knows how to dress a woman.

Rock & Republic Spring 2009



We all know Rock & Republic for the jeans and graphic Tshirts built on celebrity lifestyle and music; defining pop culture. R&R celebrities fave jean designers have stepped out of their box and added tailored pieces such as pencil skirts, super skinny jeans, and classic button up blouses. The choice in fabrics and attention to detail solidified the movement from rock star apparel to couture designs. Dont' get it twisted they kept it funky with edgy leather pieces and mini dresses. Kudos for them for the fashion maturity. Oh yeah and of course the house was packed with celebrities like Mary Kate Olsen

Miss Sixty Spring 2009

Miss Sixty brought a great show. Loved the production and stage!!! The collection was hippie & party girl inspired with flowy fabrics with lots of prints, color, and accessories. The trends for the Spring was definitely set at Miss Sixty lots of colors and prints.

Fashion Week NYC

OMG, it's finally here...Mercedes Fashion Week in NYC. For all of us who have a passion for fashion and those of us who actually go to Fashion Week and cover all of the shows anxiously await "THE WEEK OF THE YEAR". Fashion Week is the time when both headlining designers like the Versaces, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, and Betsey Johnsons and aspiring Ellie Owens and such come to show the fashion world what they have. Fashion Week is full of surprises as we all await the trends for the new season. I myself love to watch Fashion Week a la television to catch the beauty trends, the forecasts for the must have frocks and colors, and catch a glimpse of what celebrities and socialites will have the privilege of sitting front row.

Style.com previewed Fashion Week 2009 with some of its expectations and our hometown skillet Justin Timberlake for William Rast is expected to give an awesome show and be the next L.A.M.B in fashion design.

Style.com says that Justin & Trace (BF & business partner) are expected to be one of fashion's legitimate celebrity designers just like Gwen Stefani who has grossed beaucops of coins launching L.A.M.B.

Style.com expects for alot of new fashion designers who have recently graduated from Parson's and FIT to be the next in line and carry the torch. I can't wait to see the backstage footage, runway shows, and more. My goal is to be there next year, whether it's interning backstage or covering the shows in some aspect we shall see. I hope you enjoy it too. I will definitely be back to tell all of you my thoughts on the week.

Spotlight on Fashion

Ghita, the fashion line by Kanye's exboo, Alexis Phifer, is getting some shine from the High Society crew. Ghita meaning "pearl of the sea" is the brain child of Phifer. She proves she is not just some arm candy but that she is a fierce designer to be reckoned with. Graduating from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising California and launching Ghita in 2005, Alexis is on the come up. She has hosted several shows in NYC including Fashion Week... the dream of all designers and many celebrities have been seen rocking her pieces including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls.

Here are some pieces from the Fall 2008 Collection...This collection is amazing. She sticks to the Roman goddess aesthetic with lilacs, silks and satins. Ghita's vision is 80s inspired and fashionable party dresses. You can find Ghita pieces at Runway in ATL and Intermix (NYC) and so many more chic boutiques and chains.

Fashionista Friday

So I decided to play a little game with Fashionista Friday today. Instead of me giving my thoughts on who is a fly fashionista, I decided to allow you all to be involved. These chics are all different in regards to their style. From Kelis being "Hip Hop over the Top"to Kerry Washington bringing the "Classic Old Hollywood" to Rihanna introducing us to "Fashion Domanitrix". I love ALL of their styles. Let me know who you love the most. There is a poll to the right yup look over there.

Style Force to Be Reckoned With.....

I have never been so excited to watch a reality show in my life. Yesterday, while combating a little boredom, I flipped through the channels and came up on Glam God with Vivica A. Fox. I had seen commercials and heard the internet buzz and decided to give yet another reality show a chance. Glam God is THE reality/competition show for hungry stylists who crave to style celebrities and give them that red carpet look. It was so fun to watch. I might add a learned a bit. It comes on tonight so all you stylists out there tune in to VH1 9/8 c and see if they have anything on you.
Let me know if you have any favorites!
Here's the extended trailer for you to get a sneak peek...
