Mongol FW15 by Mongolian fashion designer, Bayarmaa Bayarkhuu, was inspired by traditional Mongolian costume mixed with urban casual inspiration and the entrepreneurial lifestyle. As a modern girl with a taste for the traditional, I absolutely loved seeing this combination on the runway. The jackets and fur details in the collection were impeccable.
Georgine‘s Spring 2015 collection so was so Brazilian beach babe meets Dubai chic. As I watched this fab spring line go down the runway, I couldn’t help but be reminded of Gisele Bundchen. I especially loved the spring accessories of beach towels, beach totes, sunglasses and turbans.
Emerging fashion designer Katty Xiomara brought a modern take on the 50s housewife to the runway at Nolcha Fashion Week. Her preppy styles are both wearable and relatable to the all-American woman while the conservative elements of the collection made it stand out among the Spring 2015 collections.
Last week, I had the privilege of attending the Pronovias Atelier 2014 Fashion Show hosted by Petra Nemcova. The collection was not only incredibly modern, but also incredibly epic with hints of ancient Grecian and cyborg influences. To put it simply, this Pronovias collection was Greek Goddess meets Grace Kelly. The ornate headpieces were especially incredible and the background of St. James’ Church mirrored that of an authentic wedding.
In preparation for the HUGE world record Express will be setting tomorrow Saturday July 23rd for the biggest runway show in history, I was invited to a VIP Cocktail Party where I dressed up in some fab Express accessories and posed for pictures in the beautiful penthouse of the Cooper Square Hotel. Not to mention sipped pink champagne with some of NYC’s finest bloggers, magazine, and marketing people. Express’ summer accessories totally have me looking ready for Bridgehampton Polo or the Kentucky Derby, especially with that adorable floppy straw hat. Socialites are never too old to play dress up and I have the pictures to prove it.
You too can RSVP on Facebook to Rock the Sidewalk tomorrow in Times Square. Not only will you get a chance to be part of fashion history like Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn, all eligible participants will receive a special t-shirt to remember the occasion and be entered for a chance to win a $250 Express Gift Card.
