Alice & Olivia Fashion Week

Can we honestly just take a moment of silence for the Alice & Olivia Collection? *Literal Pause* I am freaking gagging over every piece that I have seen! I honestly will be investing in this collection with the help of sweet baby Jesus. A+O designer, Stacey put on a themed theater production show that told a enchanted story.

The clothes were tied into a Victorian element with almost every look incorporating a black ribbon studded with crystal and gold flowers worn as either a choker or belt. It was the seventies feel with flared jeans, and long coats.

Words can't even really describe the sophistication, goth, Victorian, sexy , sassy collection!! Whew!!!!

What are your thoughts? What's the best collection you have viewed thus far?? Leave your comments below.

#NYFW Continues: Tracy Reese

Tracy Reese shown above is the designer for the collection. She is one of the few black female designers. Tracey stated that "runway diversity is only part of the problem with fashion, but it is also behind the scenes as well". She is known for having a diverse runway. Statistics state that only 6% of Fashion Week Models are black.

It is a very uncomfortable thing to think of when you hardly see faces of color gracing the runways for such designer brands, but you always see young black women and men spending their cash on high priced fashion accessories, clothing, and shoes in every picture posted on social sites. It is frustrating to know that women of color have so much talent when it comes to all aspects of fashion such as designing, styling, and more but can't break out into those fields because of their skin type. Models have spoken out on this situation, and some designers have tried to add more brown girls to their lineups.

Do you think this stereotype will ever be broken?? Do you believe that the designers really embrace us or just put us in their shows just so they will not get a bad rep??

On to a more positive note... Check out some of her pieces on the runway!



What do you think about diversity, Are you loving these unique pieces ??

Style: Rachel Roy Fashion Week, NYC

Fashion Week has began in the Big Apple. NYC, who has regained their top title as The Fashion Capital began Fashion Week, and Rachel Roy previewed her line February 5th. She stated that the Fall 2014 line was feminine but cool and simple pieces. The dresses were made to look as if they were multiple pieces but really one. Rachel line is for the chic but edgy woman, and can be worn out on the town, to business meetings, and more. The (long) leather gloves, lace, and prints really make these outfits a statement piece. Rachel's clothing line is found in stores such as Macy's. You can also shop her Rachel Roy collection in Saks, Nordstrom's, and Neiman Marcus. The Red is really daring, it is a ensemble that fits my personal style.

Do you like what you see so far in her collection??
