Runway Report: Marchesa Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

The opening look of the Marchesa Spring/Summer 2016 RTW collection graced the Emmy Awards red carpet last night on the back of Julianne Hough (who was seated front row at this presentation) and she looked fantastic. I gotta say that I have been getting quite bored with Marchesa and just when I was ready to write off the brand Georgina Chapman & Karen Craig produced an absolutely amazing collection that left me breathless. Birds were definitely on the mind of the Marchesa duo as they created this collection and it translated quite well. With the rest of film festival season still ahead of us and awards season forever encroaching I am extremely hopeful that we will be seeing a whole lot more of this collection on the red carpet. The look that I am most looking forward to seeing on the red carpet is an orange ombre feathered and ruffled creation that will take someone with a lot of presence to be able to pull off (I'm really feeling it for Elizabeth Banks.)

Runway Report: Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

I really don't know how the boys over at Proenza Schouler consistently out do themselves. The Fall/Winter 2015 collection was one that I loved like no other but Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez continue to wow. What was the inspiration for the Spring/Summer 2016 RTW collection? A banana. Yes you read that right. A banana. They toyed around with the idea of things that peel away from a woman's body and they succeeded in translating their inspiration in a way that is in no way kitschy or tacky. What we got was a killer collection of chic separates, casual and cocktail dresses. I picked my favorite look by watching how beautifully the white button down eyelet dress with black straps that came second in the line up movie. This dress made me wish I was a woman so that I could rock the hell out of it on the sidewalk runway during New York Fashion Week.

Runway Report: Naeem Khan Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

Ellie Kemper was the first woman to snag a look from the Naeem Khan Spring 2016 RTW collection for the 2015 Emmy Awards which happened last night. The multicolored striped sequin gown was not what I expected was going to be the first look that we saw from this collection but Ellie looked stunning. If you really had to guess about what the inspiration behind the Naeem Khan Spring/Summer 2016 RTW was, it was Italian women and women of glamorous power. Grace Kelly (the glamorous power) and Sophia Loren (the Italian bombshell) were the two names that were brought up explicitly, as well as his wife, as the inspirations. The looks in this collection ranged in decade inspiration from the 50s to the 60s to the 70s. Each look that came down the runway was more glamorous than the last finishing with the most beautiful ball gowns (a la Giambattista Valli Couture.) The lilac bateau neckline ballgown a la Grace Kelly was my favorite look from the collection and I believe that it will make for an amazing red carpet moment. Ellie gave us our first glamorous red carpet look from this collection and I am sure that we will be seeing many many more.

Runway Repot: BOSS Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

Jason Wu has been at the helm of BOSS for many seasons now and has brought the brand back from the brink of extinction. We have been seeing all of the red carpet cool girls (like Diane Kruger, Julianne Moore,& Jamie King) rocking the BOSS brand on the red carpet. None of the glam gowns that we see on the red carpet were featured in this collection just chic sportswear and some flirty cocktail dresses. I loved all of the fringe that accented pants, jackets, and dresses throughout the collection. When it came down to my favorite look in the collection I picked the second look in the collection which was a white cocktail dress with a plunging neckline featuring the collections signature fringe trim. Lupita Nyong'o was seated front row. Scoping out looks for her upcoming promo tour for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens?" I hope so.

Runway Report: Michael Kors Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

Georgia O’Keeffe and a young Elsa Peretti were the muses that Michael Kors looked to as the inspiration for his Spring/Summer 2016 RTW collection. I loved that this collection mixed feminine florals with chic utilitarian separates. I was surprised that there were so many glamorous looks in this collection that there was not a single gown in sight. I would love to see someone like Emily Blunt wearing a custom gown with the O'Keeffe inspired floral print. I gotta say that this collection does go down as one of the best of NYFW. This collection perfectly mixed high glamour and cool girl ease. My favorite look? The red floral chiffon maxi dress with its amazing billowing sleeves. I love a high glamour moment that meshes subtle wearability. I would kill for Olivia Wilde to wear that dress on the red carpet.

Runway Report: Coach Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

Coach presented its first ever runway show during New York Fashion Week and I love this collection. I have loved what Stuart Vevers is doing to reinvent and bring Coach back from a long period where the brand was not regarded as a luxury brand. I am happy that Coach is back to creating not just accessories that cool girls want to own but clothing that they want to wear. I love each of the easy going bohemian looks that walked down the runway a NYFW. Each season we are seeing the brand get better and better and I am excited to see what Stuart will bring for Fall 2016.

Runway Report: Delpozo Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

I honestly don't know what to write about the Delpozo Spring 2016 RTW collection. Creative director Josep Font was inspired by Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca and muse to Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, Emilie Floge. Josep wanted to create a sense of high fashion meets folklore, and I think that he succeeded quite well. There was plenty of avant garde volume, much loved by celebrity fans like Kiernan Shipka and Hilary Swank. I pray that the likes of Julianne Moore, Elizabeth Banks, Jena Malone, Kiernan Shipka, Cate Blanchett, & Keira Knightley all get their hands on the looks from these collections. Maybe we'll get our first look at the collection on the red carpet on the back of Kiernan Shipka at the Emmys, I would die if she wore the blue, black, & white tea length gown.
