Sequins, Sport jackets, and slip dresses take on Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week was off to a rough start, but we still found a few diamonds in the rough. By no coincidence our favorite looks from the past week encompassed similar styles, silhouettes, and hues.  Sequins, slips dresses and sport jackets are abound in Europe, especially in nudes, black, and jewel tones.  Here are some of our favorite looks from Paris FW so far:

Our Favorite looks from the 2016 NAACP Image Awards: Red Carpet Style

Due to the pandemonium of New York Fashion Week, our schedule got jumbled around, but we didn't want anymore time to pass without giving shoutout to our favorite looks from the NAACP Awards. On Friday February 5th, members of the American National Association for the Advancement of Colored People honored exceptional people of color in music, film, books and television shows at the 47th Annual NAACP Image Awards.  We tuned in to watch the talent, speeches, and of course the fashion.  Without further ado, here are our favorite red carpet ensembles.

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

“Rock will never Die. Rock is a spirit. A way of living. A point of view in a world about Freedom. About Rebellion. Achieving greatness in your own way. It’s a spirit that runs through you. It’s alive and well and happening across the globe. kicking a**, taking names, & F***** sh** up! ”

— John Varvatos

John Varvatos via Instagram johnvarvatos: FALL RTW 2016 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.
