The dress or you? Where is the focus? I’ve been thinking about the gowns at the MET ball and wondering why the whole event has lost its luster for me. The difference between what I do and what red carpet stylists do is very simple. I showcase my clients. It’s all about them and making […]
It’s not everyday that you go to a fashion show and a style icon dies. For that reason, yesterday’s Joanna Mastroianni fashion show will go down in history. As a stylist I’ve been a fan of her work for years. She’s a bit under the radar for the general public but is known in the […]
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, February 9-16th, New York City I just made Sergio Guandaramma’s fashion presentation by the skin of my teeth. And how glad I was to have made it! The presentation was held on the second floor of the Andaz Hotel, a very chic space, and the 10 looks were gorgeous. The 18k gold […]
Demystifying Fashion Week: How to Get Invited to New York Fashion Week PR companies and fashion designers want something from the audience. It is an even exchange. Designers are seeking publicity for their line. The more PR they get for a clothing line, the bigger the chance that a designer store will carry that line, […]
I had the privilege of going behind the scenes at the sneak peak editorial photo shoot of Sergio Guadarrama’s new spring collection for Celestino Couture at the Starrett-Lehigh Building. Sergio is a dear friend and collaborator of mine who does excellent custom work in addition to his line which is carried in fine boutiques. Sergio […]
What an OTT event at the gorgeous Gotham Hall to get in the mood for Spring. It reminded me of the New York I imagined before moving here in 2001. Produced by Village Care. Hosted by Kelly Cutrone, Fern MalIis, and Ariana Rockefeller-one of my most fabulous friends who is launching her own clothing line. […]
Rachel Antonoff Fall 2011. Another very creative fashion presentation in the form of a high school dance. I enjoyed the attention to detail-live rock band, models dancing and mingling as if it was a high school dance, twinkies, hostess cupcakes, snowballs, gymnasium decorations, and oh yeah appropriate garb.
Fall 2011. Joanna Mastroianni. A sexier version of Holly Golightly. Joanna dedicated her show to the American photographer Lillian Bassman. But for me it was all about the dramatics of the exit. So much attention to the backside-hand painted capes, dramatic trains, maribou feathers, fur stoles, sheer opera coats with embroideries, and more. I adored […]
FASHION WEEK COVERAGE Katie Ermilio showed her focused collection in a downtown loft presentation. Katie is a young designer of the mere age of 25 but don’t discount her yet. Rooted classic it’s no wonder her Grandfather was a personal clothier to Grace Kelly and with stints at her family’s bespoke business, Vogue, Women’s Wear […]
How do they do it? For me they always get it right. Love love love the metallics and louchy looks. Although some may not be great for reality it made for beautiful runway. Soft, feminine, flowy, drapey. Collection was inspired by. Now being designed by Tia’s sister Fiona Cibani. Clients include Olivia Palermo, Paula Patton, […]
She helped me create not just outfits but a style statement for how I go out in the world in the morning. She’s given me a new sense of confidence, especially when I go to professional meetings
