Nanette Lepore's Fall/Winter fashion show 2014 exuded femininity and romance, an overall theme this season. Even the vibrant pink backdrop emanated girly vibes. Major trends in the collection included asymmetrical hems, leather accents, fur pieces, plunging v-necklines, longer lengths, and turtlenecks...
One word: embellished. Alon Livne, for lack of a better word, decorated his models in jewels. An Israeli born designer, his middle eastern influence was easily seen through his extravagant headpieces...
This is probably bad news for the animal lovers out there, but fur has been all over the runway this season, Nellie Partow's show included. She had an incredible oversized wraparound fur collar around one of the model's necks, which was a definite collection highlight to me...
The pros of going to so many fashion shows are just that, but one of the major cons is that fashion shows no longer hold that magical appeal and sense of exclusiveness.
Some of the magic came back tonight at the Karolyn Pho fashion show. One, I ran into Crystal from the fashion blog The Ablazed who happens to be the one who contacted me about being featured in Embodied Magazine. Two, I was wearing one of the jackets that went down the runway in my magazine feature. If there is a way to feel connected to a piece of clothing, I've found it...
The show began promptly at 9AM and I cannot help but wish every morning started with a dose of Bibhu. Known for his spectacular evening wear, I had the incredible experience witnessing Bibhu Mohapatra's gowns walk down the runway. I could not take my eyes off the geometric fractured fabrics and structured floral details...

The Naeem Khan spring 2014 fashion show was by far my favorite. Naeem Khan brought drama, elegance, and sheer beauty to the runway. He was inspired by Latin culture and I specifically loved the way he incorporated the Spanish rose into his collection. I attended the show as KIS Group's fashion correspondent and I can now truly appreciate when people say, "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."
Many of the looks in this collection had a business casual feel with collared tops and slouchy trousers, and I can see a lot of women wanting these outfits for work. Michael Kors brought an interesting touch to the runway with the reinvention of the collared shirt which he did by elongating and rounding the collar's tips. Other key trends I saw were the trench coat and fur pieces...
