Unlike other designers, Nanette Lepore’s models did not look like walking trees or bushes with dark leaves – few of the models were bulked up with big, round layers on top, while wearing sleek, form-fitting skirts or pants. Many of the shows, especially from designers who target younger market featured this kind of styling – […]
In January each year, a favourite feature of Christchurch comes alive; The World Buskers Festival. One of the biggest in the world, this festival goes beyond busking by bringing in comedians, fringe artists, musicians, visual artists and even former Cirque Du Soleil performers, such as Nate Cooper, in addition to the 55 buskers. Normally, the […]
I like writing about “wearable” designers – Nanette Lepore, Tory Burch and the likes. The clothes are reachable for many, in terms of price, and usually, the looks are at least somewhat workable on various body types. Milly by Michelle Smith (aka “Milly”)is no different. While some of the looks are a little more on […]
I came across a production of My Fair Lady by the Asian American Theater Project from a YouTube email I received over the weekend. With a predominantly Asian cast, the production apparently has an interesting twist as it not only examines the “classism” between a middle class Professor Henry Higgins, lower class Eliza Dolittle and […]
Once again, Hervé Léger provided the audience with the typical, bodycon looks. Ranging from below-the-knee dresses to shorter pieces and some body suits, there really isn’t that much of a deviation, save for a few select styles (namely the fringey skirts). No surprise, of course. It’s the signature, after all. Therefore, it’s probably better to […]
I have to say that this week’s list of mystery ingredients weren’t as crazy as episode 5. It was just the combination that was strange. Sure, some of the items were a bit on the “exotic” side, but it wasn’t enough to gross the chefs out too much (unlike last week, where they had to […]
I think I’ve had it with BCBG Max Azria – the runway pieces, anyway. They sell them at many their stores – especially in higher end neighbourhoods – but the pieces are almost never wearable, unless you look like a model. And yes, the upcoming fall/winter season is no different. The skirt lengths were, for […]
New York Fashion Week starts today! Though we will not be in New York to see the shows in person, we will be watching online and will post reviews for the Fall 2014 collections on selected designers either the day of the showing or the following day, depending on whether we catch the show live. […]
Valentine’s Day is just round the corner. Not only is it a day of romance and celebration, it can also be one of great stress. There can even be pressure to top past years or compete with friends. How do you show your beloved how much they mean to you? Men generally can never go […]
What exactly IS DelectablyChic!? We have been publishing under this brand name for more than three years, and over six if the previous brand, Prospere Magazine was included in the mix. We have always had a mixture of food, fashion/beauty, travel and other topics such as events and some entertainment, and it is what the […]
