musings and observations from the nycstylist team
The dresses worn on the red carpet at the Golden Globes made a loud statement. The men and women of Hollywood all wore black to show their support of the #MeToo movement. Here are some looks from past Golden Globes that resemble those worn this year.
Many celebrities have a very distinct style. Here we have taken looks from the New York Pre-Fall 2018 shows and paired them with the perfect celebrity.
The 1990's were known for trends such as denim on denim, slip dresses, and grunge. Here are some Spring/Summer 18 looks that definitely used inspiration from the 90's.
The 1980's were bold and bright. Fishnets, shoulder pads and vibrant patterns were some of the iconic trends of the decade. Here are some Spring/Summer 18 looks that give off an 80's vibe.
These Spring/Summer 2018 runway looks drew inspiration from works of art. Classic paintings from famous artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Jackson Pollock have been transformed into garments worn today.
Milan Fashion Week turned political as designers used the runway to spread a message of equality and inclusion. Prada, Missoni, Versace and Stella Jean were a noticeable few sharing their voice through empowering collections.
Designer, Miuccia Prada explains, “I don’t want to be political. Not officially political." She laughs, “I have to sneak it in". The ready-to-wear Prada collection expressed inspiration from the powerful styles of women in past eras with hints of 50's sweaters, 60's flared skirts and 70s patchwork.
Designer, Angela Missoni provided guests with a cat-earred beanie in support of the Women's March. Among the Missoni brand's signature graphic patterns were sweaters showing messages of inclusion for organizations and campaigns such as ACT UP, AIDS Coalition, and free-the-nipple associated with women's rights.
Donatella Versace made her stance on women's rights unignorable. Under the strong pantsuits and pencil skirts, models wore sheer black slips with the words equality, love and loyalty embroidered in. Versace left no confusion in her message with the addition of beanie hats and scarves that read in bold lettering UNIFIED, COURAGE, and POWER.
The Stella Jean collection channeled the unambiguous relationship between the United States and Russia during the Cold War. Stella Jean's attitude towards the current political state is expressed through the combination of signature styles of both Russian and American cultures. The collection plays on babushkas, victorian-style laced boots and the clashing of mixed prints.
Outwear is not just for the cooler months, it is a fashion essential for upgrading your wardrobe during all seasons - so I loved seeing Milan Fashion Week runways covered in classic outerwear pieces, but with an edge added! For example Versace took the classic leather jacket silhouette and twisted it into a color block leather jacket that amps up any outfit. Taking a classic item and adding a little something extra to it can really personalize your style. Here are some of my favorite looks:
