Collection: KTZ Spring 2016- LFW

Designer: Marjan Pejoski

Models Who Walked the Show: Lily Fofana, Tamirys Melo, Leomie Anderson, Sienna King, Hannah Shakespeare, Mari Agory

On The Runway: Hmmm. Y’all out there talking about Kanye West collection and how bizarre that was but I think KTZ is giving him a run for his money. Not quite sure how to explain the direction or the concept of this show. So to quote KTZ the show was held to the phrase “The World to Come.” Heaven help us if this is how it will all end. Looks like we all are going to be punk rock ravers in the future with I guess Kanye West as President.

Collection: Burberry Spring 2016 London Fashion Week

Designer: Christopher Bailey

Models Who Walked the Show: Ysaunny Brito, Lameka Fox, Lineisy Montero, Aamito Lagum, Binx Walton and Imaan Hammam

On The Runway: If it’s not “Baroque Don’t Fix It”. Christopher Bailey delivered again this year for ss16. He doesn’t miss a beat. It’s an art how he is able to have a young “it” girl vibe to his collection yet the girls still look posh and refined. The runway was choke full of lace, sheer garments, plenty of intricate cut-out appliques and of course the Burberry trench which is the only type of trench you should ever have in your closet.

Collection: Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Felder Felder LFW

Designer: Daniela Felder, Annette Felder

Models Who Walked the Show: Hannah Shakespeare and Muna Mahamed

On The Runway: I know New York Fashion week just ended but now we are on to London. So to ease you in enjoy the looks of Felder Felder. There was no way to miss these models coming down the runway. They all were adorned in some sort of metallic material. What really caught my eye was the liquid metallic blue and gold looks. It’s so trippy and in your face that it really gives forms to the collection. Bravo.

Collection: Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear The Blonds

Designer: The Blonds

Models Who Walked the Show: Katy Carola, Djenice Duarte Silva, Kad Diallo

On The Runway: Powder puff girls gone wild was the scene of this show. You can’t help but join in the fun at the Blonds runway show. It’s over the top, outlandish, bold and borderline bonkers but we love it. The Blonds don’t care, they go to the beat of their own drum. So if you like a lot of metallic, glitter and bustiers you’ve come to the right show.

Collection: Sophie Theallet S/S 2016 – NYFW

Designer: Sophie Theallet

Models Who Walked the Show: Veronica Webb, Lula Kenfe, Mari Agory, Leomie Anderson and Sessilee Lopez

On The Runway: It was a “dream of Africa,” as Theallet references her collection. There were textures of burlap, lace and a heck of a lot of snakeskin. This collection is literally my favorite right now from the S/S16 season. Theallet doesn’t miss a beat. From head to toe, from stitching to the hem line is just perfection. The color palette is divine and the styling is superb. Forever in love with Theallet.

Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Thom Browne

Collection: Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Thom Browne

Designer: Thom Browne

Models Who Walked the Show: Adau Mornyang, Lula Kenfe, Milan Dixon and Shamone Edwards.

On The Runway: Soooo. This collection was over the top, kooky and eccentric but in a strange way you just have to love it. To be able to put all these extremes together from the makeup to the two braids sticking straight in the air and yet still have the clothes do the talking is a true art-form. I could really see many people flocking to grab these pieces off the runway, you may dial it down a bit but the core designs are really solid in craftsmanship.

Collection: Tommy Hilfiger S/S 2016

Designer: Tommy Hilfiger

Models Who Walked the Show: Tami Williams, Lineisy Montero, Alecia Morais, Leomie Anderson, Jasmine Tookes, Aaya Jones, Imaan Hammam, Kai Newman, Karly Loyce andAmilna estevão

On The Runway: I’m not sure if Tommy Hilfiger is still trying to get on our good side with the black community, but I will say that this collection is a good step in the right direction. I have never seen him use so many models of color that it’s quite shocking. The collection was great and a bit different from what we usually see from Mr. Hilfiger. The vibe was quite Jamaican, safari islander girl. The crochet pieces with the use of ethnic prints and colors were spectacular yet still had the refinement of a true Hilfiger collection. Bravo!!

Designer: Diane von Furstenberg

Models Who Walked the Show: Lineisy Montero, Binx Walton, Imaan Hammam, Amilna Estevão, Anais Mali, Tami Williams, Maria Borges, Aya jones, Karly Loyce, Jourdan Dunn

On The Runway: Diane von Furstenberg called her show Fortvna, after the Roman goddess of luck and the subject of the first painting Von Furstenberg ever bought. The verdict, we love it! Diane is on fire right now, her hit TV show is back on and her Spring/Summer 2016 collection shows why this woman is so successful. She understands woman, what we feel comfortable in and how to show off our best assets. Plus with the 40th anniversary of her iconic wrap dress we should all look to Diane since she knows about longevity, hard-work and perseverance.
