I Went To A Vogue Event And It Was Fabulous!
Vogue has to be one, if not, the most recognized name in the fashion industry. The publication has several different divisions in different countries, including: Spain, France, China and much more. The magazine has reported on fashion, beauty, culture, current events and much more for 130 years. They have worked with some of the top-named brands in the world and they continue to push the envelope time after time. I went to a screening of Vogue’s first ever runway show, which also doubled as a cocktail party. This event was to also celebrate their 130 year anniversary. I’ve been working in the fashion industry for over a decade and have…

Have I Outgrown New York Fashion Week?
When Fashion Week comes around it’s always a treat – the glitz, glamour, and lights for sure put the cherry on the proverbial cake. The famous week was actually the first of its kind, and soon other regions followed. Each year, I am consumed by endless shows, constantly being spread thin, and the pressure that comes with having my own publication. I adore fashion and from the young age of 10 years-old I knew I was destined to be in that industry, but do I still like the hustle and bustle of New York Fashion Week (NYFW)? I started in the fashion industry at the ripe age of 18 –…

This Hoodie Took 5 Years To Make
Nike has never ceased to amaze us with their unique and innovative creations. They have always gone above and beyond what is required of an athletic brand, and this is no exception. Nike wanted to reduce their carbon footprint by making a sustainable fabric hoodie. The fashion powerhouse did five years of extensive research and development to create the material – it is compose of 70% recycled content. It is also not woven nor knitted together, but instead a unique needle punching technique – using this special method means that Nike can make the hoodie in less steps, which in turn reduces carbon emission. The hoodie itself has no zippers,…

Paris Fashion Week: Calvin Luo SS21
Calvin Luo is an amazing designer, known best for his love of color and unique collections – Luo recently showed at Paris Fashion Week and it was a magnificent display! Calvin was inspired by “Elegies to the Spanish Republic,” a series of paintings with a contrast of harsh black strokes on a white canvas. Robert Motherwell, a New York painter who painted the series about the Spanish Civil War, intended the Elegies as his “private insistence that a terrible death happened that should not be forgotten”. Luo incorporated that into his collection of blacks and whites -with colors shining through. The hues give a glimmer of hope in a rather…

Paris Fashion Week: Rick Owens SS21
Rick Owens presented his collection on October 1st without any guest via live-stream on his website. Because of the Pandemic many shows at Paris Fashion Week suffered due to the travel restrictions and strict safety guidelines that were put in place. Rick Owens’ collection played on the ideals of the pandemic perfectly – the models all wore stylish masks that matched their outfits as they graced the runway. The nude tones of some pieces mixed well with the edgy and dark tones for a flawless contrast. The structure of the garments were very architectural. Check out the show below!

Dior x Air Jordan
It’s pretty obvious that Dior is definitely high fashion, however their newest collaboration with Air Jordan comes as a huge surprise to us! But we’re highly intrigued. The Air Dior shoe, the official name is Air Jordan 1 High OG Dior, is definitely eye catching and unique.

The Fate of Fashion Week
Paris and Milan are the biggest fashion weeks in the world, although I adore New York Fashion Week, the city has seen a major decline in designers showcasing their collections. New York is famous for fashion week, however, the amount of high-end designers that show in Paris and Milan are unrivaled. I have been invited a countless number of times to PFW and I so desperately wanted to go next season, but unfortunately I will not be in attendance for any fashion weeks. Candidly speaking, I don’t think there are going to be any fashion weeks or fashion events until 2021. Last season, the Coronavirus outbreak happened in the middle…
