If you’re looking for some comfortable, loose-fitting dresses with a bit of a twist, then Brit Wacher is your gal.  Her Spring/Summer pieces, consisting of dresses and separates (including short tops) in unique, asymmetrical shapes – long on one side and shorter on the other as well as broader shoulders.  They also look extremely comfortable, […]

Malorie Urbanovitch: Normcore with a Twist

I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about Malorie Urbanovitch’s upcoming collection as the first few pieces were presented – they were fairly dark in colour, ranging mostly navies and burnt oranges.  It screamed fall/winter.  Not to mention, many were knits, albeit lightweight.  However, as the show progressed, the looks became more and more […]

Rachel Sin: Jetsetting in Work and in Play

The theme for Rachel Sin’s show is “The Urban Jetsetter” and unlike other presentations, two seasons were shown at once.  Typically during Fashion Week, pieces seen on the runway are for the upcoming season.  Instead, the designer is showing both items currently available as well as next season!  The fall pieces, presented first under the […]

Pastel Ballerina Looks at Narces for Spring 2015

Carolina Herrera: Ladylike and Graceful, as Usual

For spring/summer 2015, cuts are a bit geometric – the first few looks featured cropped […]

BCBGMaxAzria: Soft, Flowy and Best of All, Petite-Friendly

…for the most part, anyway.  And perhaps they’ve heard enough complaints from people like yours truly!  Traditionally, the “runway collection” presented at New York Fashion Week was very artistic, and definitely not wearable by the vast majority.  However, the same can’t be said for the upcoming collection.  In fact, I have to admit that I’m […]
