You can never go wrong with a classic pair of 511 Levi slims, an American heritage staple, but what about changing it up a little? This year denim has become a fashion frenzy, with frayed edges, patches, stitches, and fur. Denim has officially been accepted into the fashion family.

Word of the week: Youthful

April 1, 2016 Laura Solin-Valdina

youthful:

adjective youth·ful \ˈyüth-fəl\

having or showing the freshness or energy of someone who is young

It is officially the start of "Wardrobe Grammar Month" at NYCSTYLIST, a month filled with adjectives, nouns and verbs that are relevant and important to the fashion industry!

Age is but a number, a mere symbol that represents how many years you've experienced the thrills and chills of life. Recently, the fashion industry has strayed away from the 'fresh face' crowd, celebrating the 'old is gold' motto through the richness of mature and worldly models. We must pay a tribute to these inspiring 'Bright Old Things' rocking the 2016 RTW runways.
