Bomber Jackets: A Fierce Fall Favorite
Bomber jackets are huge this fall and celebrities have been all over it. From leather to graphic, there is one to fit any taste. The varsity-feel, retro-jacket is a great option for outerwear when you want to look casual but chic. Emma Roberts sported an edgy varsity-style jacket by Lovers + Friends and looked too cool for school.
Ralph Lauren Spring 2014 Collection: Hero Worship
Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2014 show kicked off with a sporty mood and a stark palette. Flirty skirt suits and adorable peplum dresses came only in perfectly coordinated combinations of bright white and black-as-can-be black. It made for a fresh, fun take on boy-meets-girl uniform, from the super-crisp collars with dagger-sharp points to the buttery leathers and slick patents, the scaled-down ties to the mod-inspired caps.
New York Fashion Week Roundup 3: Rachel Zoe, Tory Burch, Elie Tahari, and Kaufmanfranco
Leave it to Rachel Zoe to make sequined sweatpants look sophisticated. Her casual California cool never comes without an air of elegance. We saw the usual suspects (jumpsuits and maxi dresses) as well as some welcome newcomers (long denim skirts and polished laser cut jackets).
Michael Kors Spring 2014 Collection: The American Dream
Nobody does glamorous all-American ease like Michael Kors. Not that looking as good as the glowy models who poured down his Spring 2014 runway (for a hefty 56 looks in total) is easy, but Kors sure makes it look impossibly effortless. And isn’t that what glamour is all about? This year, he had me at the first burst of light and airy fur. Yes, fur.
New York Fashion Week Roundup 2: Vera Wang, Naeem Khan, Dennis Basso, Timo Weiland, and Mathieu Mirano
For Spring 2014, Vera Wang tackled active wear, and considering she’s Vera Wang, wedding dress designer extraordinaire, it’s less active and more silk gauze. The show started off with a lot of black, and even though it was sheer and soft, the opening numbers felt too somber. Fortunately the tide quickly turned back to the light, airy romanticism we associate with Vera.
Jenny Packham Spring 2014 Collection: Victory, Victoriana
You can always count on eveningwear-maven Jenny Packham to go for romance over modernism, yesterday over tomorrow, and her Spring 2014 collection was barely a departure from her gorgeously feminine norm. But while staying true to her distinct aesthetic, she did manage to mix it up!
