8842876465?profile=original
That's So New York - Jeremy Scott’s Fall 2011 show for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was teeming with interesting contradictions. He believes that fashion should be amusing and enjoyable. On one hand it was funcolorful and extremely playtime reminiscent with pigtailed models in vibrant prints carrying stuffed toys. On the other hand it was full of cheeky sexuality and cheerleader reminiscent double entendres. The tightly pulled pigtails with rainbow colored extensions took on another perspective

BCBG, The Academy of Art, Max Azria and Tips

We came back from our 2011 Fashion Week bursting with excitement.  Simply said, the designers did impress.  The following is our little insight.

Sleek and chic are often used as buzz words. For this fall, they are anything but just buzz. When a designer can convey effortless simplicity in his or her design so that the clothing seems to float on the body even with a touch of geometrical structure, they have achieved sleek and chic in my book. These two words aptly describe all three of the shows K

Summer Favorite: Block Canvas Chinos

8842874479?profile=originalThat's So New YorkA favorite trend of mine this spring/summer is the Chino. Chinos have bombarded the spring/summer catwalks this season, suitable for almost any time of the year yet easily alternated to fit a certain season with either color of shape. A favorite chino trend for the spring/summer has been the block canvas colored chinos, often based around a spring/summer color pallet using bright flamboyant colors, yet it seems that Topman have decided to go in a slightly different direction

London Fashion Week: Betty Jackson

8842873076?profile=originalThat's So New York - London Fashion Week set off to a flying start as we were bombarded with the trend-setting collections, forming the groundwork of this years Autumn/Winter trends. Betty Jackson is a favorite of mine as she set a clear color trend for the upcoming fall/winter with her red-based collection, everything was a little more loose and the layers were back in. It seemed this was a transition between the summer/autumn as we still have the chinos and the open heels, yet instead of styli
