RIP NYFW - Saint Laurent just killed the game
Last night at the Los Angeles Palladium Theatre, Hedi Slimane showcased his Fall 2016 Men's RTW and Pre-Fall Women's collections for Saint Laurent... A chronicle of jaw-dropping and stunningly lavish 1970s David Bowie inspired designs. Lanky models graced the runway decked out in glitter makeup, blunt-bangs and rocker-chic hairdos.
Slimane kicked off Fashion Week with this year's trends of plaids, animal prints, velvets, shearlings and power suiting. Autumn/Fall 2016 Fashion Week just began, and ended, with this beautiful collection!
Rock is Dead? #LongLiveRock John Varvatos RTW 2016 collection NYFW
Provocative, individualistic and rebellious are just some adjectives that describe John Varvatos's RTW 2016 Fall show. The designer dismantled his Bowery CBCG's store, creating a labyrinth of rooms with models interspersed throughout, including in the dressing rooms and amidst mannequins, the first of which were in coffins. Rock n' Roll classics played in each room, the last being an angelic white room dedicated to the iconic David Bowie.
Although the theatrics were monumental, Varvatos's collection was direct and true. His diverse textures, fabrics, and ornamentation suits customers of different ages and professions (pun intended). Double-breasted suits, elongated cardigans, and tuxedo jackets in abstract prints, shearlings, calfskins, and jacquards blended classics with the exotic. Varvatos deserves a round of applause for his contemporary take on a tangled and refreshing New York fashion show.

New Year, New Generation!
The 2016 season has reevaluated, revolutionized and revamped the status of "Bright Old Things", by focusing on and catering to the Baby Boomer market with high disposable incomes and minds of their own. The past decade was ruled by Millennials with hashtags, fast fashion, and impatience, but this season age is irrelevant. It is finally time to pay homage to the powerful and elegantly mature older generation! The word youth is but a euphemism for relevant and adaptable, the excitement behind experiencing something new and is simply a state of mind.
Given the average model age of 17, Designer Alexis Mabille admiringly played with age, creating a Top Model reunion with legends such as Carmen Kass, (age 37) Estelle Lefébure, (age 49) and Debra Shaw (age 39). Mabille described his decision as a "tribute to timeless beauty" and delivered a refreshing and relatable catwalk, redefining the obsession with youthfulness.
Other designers such as Céline and Kate Spade have also caught wind of the "silver revolution", incorporating legends such as Iris Apfel and Joan Didion into their editorial and advertising campaigns. Speaking of Iris Apfel, I was lucky enough to style the lovely and quirky Iris when I was Fashion Director at Avenue magazine. Her wisdom and personality were infectious... Iris is leading the #silverrevolution by storm.
Fashion Icon, Rock Legend
A bigger than life star and one incredibly talented soul, David Bowie was far more than a fashion icon and rock legend. Challenger, trendsetter, industry leader, Bowie has left his mark on this world in the shape of a lightening bolt and has stolen the hearts of millions. I am so thankful for having assisted on his Thursday's Child music video way back when -- he is a legend who will forever hold a special part of my heart.

No. 6 The Tuxedo
Tuxedo pieces are quickly becoming the new wardrobe staple! From jumpsuits to dresses, these pieces mimic the menswear aesthetic with a super fem flare. Tuxedos as a 'men's only' is a thing of the past.
The Trend Street Style Get the look
From Left to Right: Akris, Tom Ford Suit, Stuart Weitzman Heels, Anndra Neen Clutch, Cutler and Gross Sunglasses, Vitaliano Bow Tie, Valentino Pumps
With altered silhouettes, classic menswear elements transform to flatter and accentuate glamorous womenswear. A large bowtie, patent leather stilettos, and angular sunnies are all the tuxedo needs.
From Left to Right: Balmain, Tuxedo Dress, Equipment Sweater, BCBG Coat, YSL Lipstick
The tuxedo dress not only shows off some leg, but allows stylish versatility too! Worn with a dramatic neckline to let the peak lapel pop, and layered with contrasting colors, the tuxedo dress is a chic standout.
From Left to Right: Milly, Tuxedo Vest, M2Malletier Purse, Stella McCartney Platform Sneakers, Isabel Marant Pant
Worn with a pair of matching skinnies and exaggerated platform sneakers or oxfords, tuxedo vests go rogue by creating a daring vibe.
From Left to Right: Milly, Tuxedo Style Jumpsuit, Roberto Coin Bangles, Aquazzura Pumps, Abhaas Earrings
The tuxedo styled jumpsuit basks in simplicity. A pair of dainty stilettos is just enough to elevate the look to Red Carpet ready.

From Left to Right: New Balance, Training Sneaker
Colorful New Balance sneakers have been dominating the street style scene! Worn with denim and sweaters or a patterned jumpsuit, the sneakers pull the outfit together in a way stilettos never could!

High top sneakers have a place well beyond the basketball court! Paired with super fem pieces like a mini skirt and soft scarf is the equivalent of a three-pointer in street style do’s!

TRENDY TIPS FROM NYCSTYLIST
No. 4 the puffer coat
A versatile coat is a winter must! Worn casually for a workout in the park, with a trendy flare for a day out in the city, or even styled for the office, the puffer jacket is a closet essential. With so many options, you’re sure to find one that is simply irresistible!
The Trend Street Style
From Left to Right: Moncler, Long Puffer
The long puffer, furnished with fur trim, is classic. Worn with a graphic tee and beanie, this luxe coat also works casually.
From Left to Right: Moncler, Patterned Puffer
The patterned puffer downplays the puff factor and ups the style factor. Best worn with a pop of color and a little something that shines!
From Left to Right: Sacai Luck, Sport Puffer
The sport puffer is one of our favorites! Paired with something delicate and poppy, this puffer is the real MVP!
From Left to Right: Burberry, Belted Puffer
The oversized puffer not only combats the cold, it is also one shapely piece! With a sleek and fitted ensemble, the belted puffer creates the perfect silhouette with balanced proportions!

No. 3 70's Flare
The best of the seventies has made its return, but this is not how your mother wore it! Classics have been revived and redefined, combining twenty-first century chic with the fluidity of decades past.
The Trend Street Style
From Left to Right: Alice & Olivia, Bell Bottom Pant
We love the fit and flare aesthetic of the classic bell bottom, but you must show it off properly! Pairing with a bloussant blouse, platforms, and a sleek cross-body bag is just the way to go!
From Left to Right: Etro, Maxi Dress
The free-flowing maxi dress brings the fun-loving vibes of the seventies into 2015! With peasant or bishop sleeves, patterned or solid, this dress stuns every time.
From Left to Right: Saint Laurent, Platforms
The only thing higher than seventies fashions are platforms. A pair of iconic Saint Laurent Classic Tribute sandals paired with round sunnies and a thick headscarf add seventies sensations to a simplistic look of black and leather.
