Runway Report: Erin Fetherston Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

I have noticed that a lot of the collections that have been presented thus far, mind you we are only on Day 1, during New York Fashion Week have been very fall like for the Spring/Summer 2016 season. I was very pleased to see that Erin Fetherston stuck to the right season when creating her Spring/Summer 2016 RTW collection. Erin built on one of Fall 2015's biggest trends, the 70s, but instead of the heavy disco glamour we saw a lighter airy side. I dub this collection Romantic Hippie because all of the soft flowing frocks and chic simple florals that were presented. Prints inspired by needlepoint embroidery evoke scrolling roses and scattered blossoms. Can't you just picture some of these looks on Coachella guests wearing flower crowns and dancing around in the wind. My favorite look in this collection was the tierd white maxi dress with the plunging neckline. I am really hoping that young Hollywood takes notice of this collection as well as street style mavens like Olivia Palermo and Reese Witherspoon because these looks deserve a spotlight be in on a red carpet or on the sidewalk runway.

'The Smurfs 2' LA Premiere Wish List

 The 'Smurfs 2' will undoubtedly have a star studded blue carpet at the Regency Village Theater in Hollywood, California on July 28th and I am sure that we will see quite a few blue looks on the red carpet. This wish list will consist of blue looks for all of the stars though I do believe that not everyone will show up in blue. For this premiere I would love to see Christina Ricci, who plays Vexy one of the blue smurfs, wear this amazing just presented Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture cocktail dress. I think that this is a fun flirty look even though it is a couture creation. I believe that this dress would fit in perfectly at the animated/live action red carpet premiere. I would just pair this dress with the blue satin runway shoes and maybe some simple diamond earrings and Christina will rock the red carpet at her big Hollywood premiere.

 'Glee' actress Jayma Mays has been, sadly, missing from the red carpet this year. I love to see her take to the red carpet as she has a cute sense of red carpet dressing that varies from appearance to appearance, she can go from sexy vampiress in Alberta Ferretti one week to peachy goddess in Jenny Packham in another. For this premiere I have chosen to put Jayma in this classic shaped Erin Fetherson Fall 2013 RTW silk jacquard dress. I think that for a 'Smurfs' animated feature (even though Jayma's character Grace is one of the live action characters) that this dress is appropriate for Jayma without going too over the top. A simple blur Edie Parker clutch and a pair of gunmetal grey Jimmy Choo sandals will have Jayma back on the worlds Best Dressed lists.

And finally we have a wish for Katy Perry. The quirky star has already been busy promoting this film when the film held events during the 5th Annual Summer of Sony event held in Cancun, Mexico wearing brands like Monique Lhuillier, Dolce & Gabbana, and Zimmerman. Katy plays 'Smurfette' and when the first film premiered Katy took to the red carpet in a custom bustier mini dress by The Blonds with her characters face bedazzled onto the bodice. While I think that Katy will not play to the gimmicks this year I still think that there will be a quirky blue factor which is why I have chosen to put Katy in this blue and white Giambattista Valli Fall 2013 Couture cocktail mini dress. I think that it has been way to long since Katy has really brought a major quirky red carpet moment, lately opting for much more demure gown up looks, but this is the place for this cute youthful cocktail dress. Pair this dress with a pair of Christian Louboutin blue sandals and Katy will look absolutely amazing while taking to the red carpet at this July 28th Hollywood grand premiere.
