Honor Spring 2013

Even though yesterday was only day one of New York Fashion Week, I can already state that Honor will be one of my favourite of the Spring 2013 season.

I was blown away by the ultra-girlie ethereal collection which featured many garden-print pieces that will be coming to red carpets this Fall, as celebs will want to wear this collection asap.

Dresses and skirts with exaggerated silhouettes, blouses with high necklines and flutter sleeves, high-waisted shorts, blouses with oversized chiffon bows, summer tweed skirts, wide-leg pants, short sets, jacquard skirts and a white jumpsuit took to the runway on a colour palette of mostly neutrals with pops of pink and neon green.

Intricate details included lattice work, open backs, micro-sparkle trims and bell-shaped sleeves.
Key accessories included Tabitha Simmons ankle-strap sandals and pumps plus chic shades with coloured frames.

Sporting a fresh dewy glow, the model’s hair was styled into French braids with crystals intertwined.

Front Row: Julia Jones, Derek Blasberg and Michelle Harper

Favourites: White Georgette blouse with tree print organza high waist shorts and white jumpsuit trimmed in macramé with chiffon microsparkle collar blouse

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Lea Michele, Cameron Diaz, Carey Mulligan, Lauren Conrad, Elizabeth Olsen, Lizzy Caplan, Hailee Steinfeld, Keirnan Shipka, Carly Rae Jepsen, Nikki Reed, Kristen Bell, Bella Thorne and Mandy Moore

Tadashi Shoji Spring 2013

Tadashi Shoji took us on a journey along the Modern Silk Road, where East meets West, for his Spring 2013 collection.

The designer, who has successfully dressed many Oscar-winning actresses, started the show with elegant day dresses in his favourite fabric: lace.

On a warm colour palette of paprika, desert, lavender with a selection of blues ranging from lagoon to china to ocean alongside classic black looks, we saw many dresses destined for the red carpet.

Cocktail dresses with Peter Pan collars, pencil dresses, trapeze dresses, long-sleeve gowns, strapless gowns, caplet gowns and tiered tulle gowns were just a few of the highlights, with the colourful piecework and ikat-print dresses requiring a second look.

Favourites: Pale iris ikat-print gazar strapless pleated dress and the floral appliqué spaghetti strap slip gown.

Front Row: Angela Simmons, June Ambrose, Daisy Fuentes

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Elizabeth Banks, Fan Bingbing, Berenice Marlohe, Mena Suvari, Octavia Spencer, Florence Welch, Kate Beckinsale, Cat Deeley, Taylor Swift and Emily Blunt

My New York Fashion Week Highs & Lows

HIGHS

Top 5 Shows: Prabal Gurung, Oscar de la Renta, The Blonds, Victoria Beckham and Diane von Furstenberg

Best Production: Donna Karan & The Blonds

David Beckham: Seeing David Beckham holding Harper as they walked into the venue for Victoria Beckham’s fashion show. I made the right decision to arrive super early.

Seeing David Beckham in the flesh for the second time in two months.

Anna Wintour: Seeing a guy with a silver plate handing Anna Wintour her Starbucks at Victoria Beckham.

Seeing a British socialite curtsey when greeting Anna Wintour at Prabal Gurung.

LOL Moment: A dude offered me and @seoulcialite cocaine after The Blonds show. We busted out laughing – in his face. He kept chanting “Co, co, co, co…”. We were like, “Chanel?”

A-Listers In The Front Row: Michael Kors’ is the one show you are guaranteed an A-list-packed front row, so I was shocked to see Matt Damon front row at Naeem Khan. Despite looking as bored as hell, it was a nice treat for his wife on Valentine’s Day. Let’s hope she was shopping for a dress for the Oscars.

Fashion Foie Gras for Coach Bag: Emily from Fashion Foie Gras gifted me her self-designed ‘Blogger Bag’ which I toted around Fashion Week. The bag was very popular as I got papped a few times carrying it in one day by WWD and Huffington Post. I was very excited to help support my friend and fellow blogger in this way.

Marchesa: After being devastated not to receive an invitation to Marchesa’s Spring 2012 presentation, I was seated behind the celebs for Fall 2012.

The Blonds Fall 2012

The Blonds’ Fall 2012 presentation was my last show this fashion week.

David and Phillipe Blond were inspired by vintage biker chick flicks and the animated film ‘Heavy Metal’. They want women to be strong characters, equalling men in strength and prowess, but still look stunning and glamorous.

We saw strong fitted silhouettes with severe colours such as blood red, ice blue and jet black.

Distressed materials like leather and denim were mixed with crystals which made for an explosive presentation of fitted dresses, jumpsuits and bedazzling panties, but it was the corsets everyone wanted to see.

The crystal-embellished corset were breathtaking and I loved the red and black leather corset which reminded me of Michael Jackson’s iconic ‘Thriller’ leather jacket.

With Lil’ Kim in the front row, I wonder if she will get first dibs on this collection.

After attending four The Blonds fashion shows, this is the first time I have seen them dabbled in menswear.

Front Row: Lil’ Kim, Cassie and Adam Lambert

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Fergie, Rihanna and Kylie Minogue

Marchesa Fall 2012

It was exciting to have Marchesa back on my fashion week schedule again just before the Oscars.

The Marchesa Fall 2012 presentation was held at the Plaza Hotel in New York City with major stylists in the front row ready to pluck Oscar-worthy gowns right off the runway.

No cat-fights were needed as there were many choices to be had.

The ethereal collection in shades of nude, cream, ivory, blue and red was inspired by William-Adolphe Bouguerau’s 1879 portrait painting, ‘A Soul Brought to Heaven’.

Models floated as if on clouds down the runway, wearing decadent fitted and flared gowns and ball gowns with floral embroidered bodices, gold bouillon embroidery and feather-like tulle skirts.

I love the hand-wrapped lame gold gown which stood out in a room of fantasy tulle ball gowns.

We also saw cocktail dresses in lace and with laser-cut leather.

Front Row: Olivia Palermo, Petra Nemcova, Bar Refaeli, Stacy Keibler, Adeperi Oduye, Jenna Dewan Tatum and Taylor Momsen

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Amber Heard, Viola Davis, Anne Hathaway, Kerry Washington, Camilla Belle, Diane Kruger, Olivia Wilde, Heidi Klum, Elle Fanning and many more

J. Mendel Fall 2012

Giles Mendel presented a truly elegant collection for J. Mendel Fall 2012.

The show opened with four all-white looks including a sleeveless coat, a cashmere fur-collared coat, a wool two-tiered jacket and a long cashmere cardigan before moving on to looks in black, maroon, gold, saffron, khaki and beige.

For a fall collection, everything felt very light.

Models walked the runway wearing lighter-than-air chiffon dresses, fur coats, tailored coats and jersey dresses.

The young and elite clientele will love his mini dress with full skirts and daring cuts, as well as the hot black panelled alligator jacket which was paired with a matching dress.

J. Mendel’s signature luxurious outerwear included fur coats and vests that came in different style and colours.

Gowns had plunging necklines, fully embroidered sequins, gold lame inserts, cut-out details, draped details and beaded embellishments which said, “Hello Taylor Swift”.

Front Row: Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen and Kelly Osbourne

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Blake Lively, Zoe Saldana, Taylor Swift, Amanda Seyfried, Gwyneth Paltrow, Solange Knowles, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kate Beckinsale, Garcelle Beauvais, Leelee Sobieski, Jaimie Alexander, Jessica Alba, Michelle Williams, Rihanna and Lara Bingle
