Atelier Versace Couture Fall/Winter 2015-2016 Collection

Atelier Versace Couture Fall Winter 2015-2016 Collection2

Versace’s collection for fall/winter 2015-2016 made us want to march ourselves right back to Coachella! The couture essence of the runway show reminded us of fashions often worn during the music festival season. Flowing, revealing with an ethereal delicacy capturing the beauty of true femininity.

Each gown was effortlessly beautiful making each model seem to dance down the runway in an almost dreamlike state. The color palette of the collection ranged from light and airy tints and drifted into noire masterpieces. If Disney wanted to gift the prize of being dressed as a princess they would no doubt have the lucky young lady choose from the Versace collection!

Michael Costello SS15 Runway Show

Michael Costello SS15 Runway Show

Michael Costello’s runway show for El Paseo Fashion Week was brimming with so many show-stopping pieces we don’t even know where to begin! We gushed over his all noire designs that consisted of long gowns, jumpsuits and short flirtatious dresses with cut-outs. Backstage Michael shared with us that the collection was inspired by samurai warriors and each ensemble we saw fit the bill because they were fierce, sassy and extremely sexy. You can always tell when even the models are enjoying the fashions, their walk becomes harder, stronger and they simply stomp to the death. Every last model served it like their rent, electric and Iphone bills were due!

Costello’s femme fatale show gave us style shivers also thanks to lovely embellishments that included: fur, low V-cuts, sparkle, pockets, high splits, sheer fabrics and bold silver shades. Michael’s breathtaking show also included menswear, but for more on that be sure to lookout for our exclusive interview with Michael in our April issue!

Dom Streater Puts the “Queen” in Fashion Week

Dom Streater Puts the Queen in Fashion Week3

Now here is a show that we can really sink our trendy teeth into with gusto! Dom Streater’s designs were inspired by three powerful queens that changed the face of the kingdoms they ruled over and now Dom’s creations will forever change the face of fashion. We immediately noticed the Victorian collars and graphic logos on various tops proclaiming fabulous Queen-dom (no pun intended we swear, for those who noticed what we did there).

Moreover, the prints held our attention without becoming a repetitive bore, each piece was unique and well executed. Nevertheless, our campaign and quest in regards to comfortable fashions for women was put at ease when we noticed a printed dress with pockets. We women haul all sorts of necessities on a daily basis, it is always refreshing to purchase clothing that we can simply slip our car keys or Iphone into for easy access. It is clear that Dom understands the female physique as well as our needs and makes beautiful garments in the process.

Daniel Esquivel and Patricia Michaels Show at El Paseo Fashion Week

Daniel Esquivel and Patricia Michaels Show at El Paseo Fashion Week

We are such fashion suckers when it comes to great tailoring or originality. Daniel Esquivel and Patricia Michaels showcased their immense skill-set in each of these areas. First up, let’s talk about Daniel’s beautiful collection that included a black and red color palette with fringe as well as glitzy and twinkling embellishments. One look we wanted to get our stylish paws on was an all white suit that showed off the model’s gorgeous gams. We didn’t know whether to be more jealous of how the wonderful model looked in said white couture or that we did not possess that very ensemble in our closet!

We digress, so moving on, Patricia Michaels was another favorite of the night. Patricia’s show started off with a big splash and carried the momentum all the way through. The models strutted down the catwalk carrying gigantic umbrellas that complemented the trendy Pmwaterlily garb. Some of the pieces that we fell in love incorporated high splits (skirt was made for a goddess), sheer fabrics and 3-d petals. The ovations heard and seen during Michael’s show say it all…one fantastic show!

Michelle Lesniak Shows During Stars of Project Runway

Michelle Lesniak Shows During Stars of Project Runway

We just can’t get enough of this talented chick! We got to catch up with the ingenious designer after the Stars of Project Runway Fashion Show who with her infectious personality and demeanor filled us in on the deets regarding her amazing collection. Michelle said her designs were inspired by hot air balloons which was a sort of symbolism of her life and falling back. We loved the details of ropes and tassels that brought Michelle’s vision to life.

Moreover, the swim-wear had us at hello and love at first sight due to the high-waisted bottoms that are simply perfection when hiding problem areas. The retro yet modern vibe of the swimsuits had us dreaming of a Dorthy Dandridge/Marilyn Monroe summer with a contempo twist. From start to finish Michelle Lesniak’s show had us crying tears of fashion joy.

Stars of Project Runway Fashion Show!

Stars of Project Runway Fashion Show

Last night no designers were told “Auf Wiedersehen” which when translated means “goodbye” in German. The popular Heidi Klum send off to contestants eliminated from the fashion design competition show was replaced by oohs, ahs and much applause from the packed out house of stylish onlookers. The show included Project Runway alums: Dom Streater, Daniel Esquivel, Michelle Lesniak and Patricia Michaels. Although the show began with a video from Michael Costello stating that he would not be in attendance, Costello surprised one and all by showing his collection and walking the runway with the other designers in a celebratory finale extravaganza.

Kevan Hall Goes Sporty for El Paseo Fashion Show

Kevan Hall El Paseo Fashion Week

Sportswear is tough to not only design, but make it look chic from every angle.

When worn a designer would need to think of how it would work as well as look with movement. Kevan Hall seemed to fully understand what women are looking for when purchasing sportswear.

His collection included many often over looked details especially from a style viewpoint. We especially took note of the vivid colors, which Hall told us he felt made the designs pop and encapsulated the season perfectly. We would have to agree one hundred fold that Hall’s designs were fresh and unpretentious.

These forward looking silhouettes would keep any lady from blending in with the rest of the crowd at the local country club.

Candice Held Shows at El Paseo Fashion Week

Candice Held El Paseo Fashion Week

Designer Candice Held proved that all a woman really needs is the right dress.

Her collection included beautiful prints and gowns of various lengths that accentuated the model’s shapes effortlessly. The collection would be excellent for summer holidays or jet-setting around the world thanks to their resort-like feel. It is oh, so easy to literally envision ourselves in these fabulous designs while in the Caribbean or on a Hawaiian escapade.

We studied the looks and fell in love with the bow ties that held the gowns together in the back. Little details such as these made the collection a true delight to engage ones stylish senses.

Editor’s Diary: El Paseo Fashion Week 2015

Editor's Diary El Paseo Fashion Week 2015-2

El Paseo Fashion Week is in full effect and we are flexing our own fashion muscle. So then, how did we decide how to style ourselves for this stylish night out?

Editors Diary El Paseo Fashion Week 2015

Alicia: I love the color red so it was a simple choice to go with a sassy red dress. I accessorized my look with a gold necklace and black/gold heels. I always believe that great fashion should accentuate your best assets.

Editor's Diary El Paseo Fashion Week 2015-3

Arianne: I wanted to go bold without being the loudest lady in the room! You can never go wrong with a nice print, and with stripes being a huge trend for spring, I felt it was the perfect choice for the night. As many women always fear, I dread being caught in the exact same ensemble as someone else. For this reason, knowing that most attendees [women] would opt for a dress or pant suit, I decided to go with shorts.
