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.

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

February 20, 2016 Laura Solin-Valdina

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.
