Be a dancing queen or solid gold Soul Train dancer this summer because the 70’s are back baby! If you have laid fashion eyes on the ad campaign for the S/S 2015 Emilio Pucci collection you no doubt observed the ad’s 70’s vibe. Not quite sure how to make the retro look work for you? Think boho-chic and a very free-spirited relaxed styling of your ensembles. Moreover, a quick look at the Emilio Pucci runway show should help get you started.

Zoe Kravitz showed some skin and swung her sweet braids for the cameras when she attended Dior’s Cruise 2016 show. Kravitz sat in the coveted front row in very good company with fashionable starlets as Dakota Fanning. The look had a quiet, chic allure that gave focus to Zoe’s amazing physique.

Fashionable Mention: Versace Men’s S/S 15 Collection

Arianne Suggs April 24, 2015April 24, 2015Leave a Comment

Toga! Toga! Toga! Versace is known for making men feel like high-ranking kings of the world through impeccable designs and tailoring. Nevertheless, what really caught our eye this season was the beach wear for men. The models coming down the runway embodied Greek Olympian strength and panache that made us want to go put a gold medal around their necks. The overall look may be a little much to translate into the streets but the opulence of the collection is still refreshing to see. Versace proves that swim wear for men can be in the words of Drake, “Fancy.”

Tinashe was a very busy lady yesterday during the MTV Movie Awards festivities for 2015. The rising pop star performed her single Drop That Kitty and did it all in style. It all started when Tinashe hit the red carpet…excuse us, we mean blue carpet in a noire gown designed by Adam Selman. If the name sounds familiar you may recall another musical fashion icon as being a muse for the designer…Miss Fenty aka Rihanna. Tinashe’s black floor-length gown is from Adam Selman’s Spring 2015 collection; talk about from the runway to the streets!

Michael Costello SS15 Runway Show

Arianne Suggs March 26, 2015March 26, 2015Leave a Comment

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

Arianne Suggs March 25, 2015March 25, 2015Leave a Comment

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.

Want to know what Dom has been up to since her big Project Runway win? Be sure to catch our full interview with Dom on our Youtube coming soon!

Daniel Esquivel and Patricia Michaels Show at El Paseo Fashion Week

Arianne Suggs March 25, 2015March 25, 2015Leave a Comment

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!

Stars of Project Runway Fashion Show!

Arianne Suggs March 25, 2015March 25, 2015Leave a Comment

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.
