This post is a continuation of Brooklyn Fashion Weekend Spring/Summer 212 – Part I ( October 1st shows). Das Komitee German-based designer Nina Athansiou presented the Spring/Summer collection from her fashion label, Das Komitee.

On Wednesday, September 14th I attended a fashion show by designer Gail Travis of N:F:P Studio, who unveiled her Spring 2012 collection in creative fashion presentation at Wix Lounge.

In the center of the runway, they paused and … Continue reading S/S 2012 N:F:P Collection Runway

I absolutely adore this season’s latest trend fixation – leopard print. It’s become the new black, or neutral, that you can wear just about anything with. It’s hard to walk into any fashion store and not find pieces with solid black spots peppered against a golden hue, mimicking the look of a leopard’s coat. Leopard print does have a sexy allure to it, and you … Continue reading End of Summer Hottest Trend – Leopard Print
So I have to admit it, I have been eagerly awaiting the launch of the Kardashian sisters new clothing line for Sears. Honestly, with the success of running their own clothing store, I was surprised that they would design a line to be featured in the stores of a major retailer, but I’m happy they did. The fashion line is exactly what I would except … Continue reading New Obsession: The Kardashian Kollection
