Fall ‘10 Shoes Preview: What Were They Thinking?

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:14:51 +0000

Balenciaga–Let’s Play Tetris.

“What was your inspiration for this collection?” A required question that the designers are asked each season. After the Fall’10 Fashion Week, I think they should be asked the same question about the footwear they put onto the models. The shoes, have been getting just as much attention as the clothes being showed on the runways. For some of the designers, the reaction from viewers would be the tilting of the head and a raised eyebrow.

This past week the Parisian designers outdid themselves. I had to wonder what they were thinking and mumbled that notorious question under my breathe. Unfortunately each of the following designers were not available to answer me and my imagination started to run wild!

Chanel–Big Foot. Givenchy–Little Red Riding Hood.

Marni– The Woman that Lived In Her Shoe John Galliano–Ax Men

Jean Paul Gaultier–Arabian Nights. Yves Saint Laurent–Last Of The Mohicans.

The Right Fashion Week Flame!

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 04:20:50 +0000

The fashion week torch which burned brightly in New York last week, has since been given to London allowing us to continue our droll fest and make our wish lists for Fall 2010 fashionable pieces even longer.

What did we take away from the city that sets the pace for the other fashion capitals around the world?

Velvet Dreams: It will come in pants, leggings, jackets and dresses. Pairing your velvet piece with the right jacket and shoes prevents you from standing out in the wrong way.

Shine Sir Lot: Putting the shine in the clothes gives us a different version of bling that we can love and afford.

Living A Longer Life: Maxi Dresses are back. But for the colder days, adding a sweater, jacket and boots makes them Fall friendly.

One Sided Focus: Try to keep on your good side will make you happier and sexier.

A new trend of watching fashion is “live Streaming.” This allows designers, especially emerging ones to show their creations to the greatest audience out there, you! The hottest one was William Rast.

Take it away London!

Fashion Week Statement Makers.

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 08:21:37 +0000

New York Fashion Week will be over soon, and we survived this first lap of the Fall 2010 collections even with all the snow and freezing tempertures. From what I’ve seen, we’ve layer it up pretty well and in our own unique way. This is something that we do well with the right coat and boots, but what about accessories? In this case ,bigger is better because you should have to stand out with what you wear around your necks along with the overcoats and hats.

All of the pieces featured on this page plus many more “statement makers” are available on CoutureCandy.com

Fashion Shows Recession Style.

Staying ahead and creating trends, isn’t that what fashion is all about? Well the latest trend that should have most people pleased is the new way to see the shows during fashion week.

The numbers have increased since last year for the amount of designers giving us immediate access by photographs online after a show and live streaming their collection(s). This works great for some fashion editors who hate rushing to several shows in one day or others waiting for hours just to see a fashion preview that lasts less than 2o minutes.

William Rast Fall 2010 Show Sign Up Page

William Rast is using the web to their advantage by “live streaming” their Fall 2010 show Wednesday 02/17/10 at 7pm. Front row seat on the couch while wearing, what you want no complaints here! Cutting cost anyway you can is smart.

For emerging fashion designers, spending money for a fashion show is a luxury they cannot afford. Designers like Barbara Tfank, Chris Benz & Kimberly Ovitz gave us photos via Style.com, saving themselves thousands of dollars, and showing their creations to the consumers and fashion lovers directly.

This form of showcasing one’s collections opens it up to a bigger audience which should help with marketing and sales.

When the creative wheels start turning, cyberspace is limitless! Why not give us a fashion show longer than 20 minutes or a mini movie?

In a recession we creative people always have to think of ways to keep the fashion innovative, exciting, ongoing and the money flowing!!

Viktor and Rolf took this recession cutting back thing literally.

Only the brave and fashion forward can pull off any of the looks from Viktor & Rolf Spring’10 collection. Doing “The Simple Thing” is not what Viktor & Rolf are known for, season after season they give us something besides safe.

The Last To Past the Finish Line.

theromeoreport — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 03:34:22 +0000

I remember when Tommy Hilfiger was the first to show his collections and kick off Fashion week. Now with years of experience and exceptional collections under his belt; millions of followers including celebrities, Tommy Man has moved from the starter to the ”Last To Show” spot, during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.

To make things better, he’s throwing a little cocktail party for his new, very big Fifth Avenue flagship store. This is the only event where been last, is a good thing.

This was tough to do, after seeing most of the Fall’09 collections how do I go about picking one accessory collection that stood out above the rest??? Yea, a tough job that I was NOT willing to do. So I found my own solution, the more I love the collection, the more pieces I feature.

The city that never sleeps, will be first up.

I Wish I May, I Wish I Might, count the Marc Jacobs I receive tonight…or any other night in the future!!!
