NYFW. The Freshman and The Graduate.
Delpozo, the Madrid based brand, debuted in New York for AW’13. A collection of well sculpted dresses and separates, rounded shoulders, roomy hips and waisted. Couture married with RTW, something about it smacked of Roksanda Illincic, but make no mistake Delpozo is a brand that will quickly attain cult status. The collection was refreshing, firm,…

NYFW. Diffusion-Infusion
Nothing is more bankable than a woman’s love for handbags and shoes but the diffusion range, when aimed right, is attaining that level of bankability alongside. There are a plethora of diffusion ranges out there, some don’t quite meet the mark; quality for one, style for another but most importantly the confusion about who their…

NYFW; And the Colours!
Normally we expect black to be the overarching colour theme for the Autumn Winter Season but designers are having a love affair with colours, colours of the brightest kinds.

The cuts were more body embracing than we’ve seen in several seasons. There was sexy…

NYFW. Look to Love; Volume Control
I always love a designer’s take on volume. Every season without fail, designers give us some sort of volume in clothes and it either works or it doesn’t. Much of the collections for AW13 was fraught with volume, boxy silhouettes that only look good on the bodies of the models strutting down the runways in…

NYFW. Look to Love; Uptown Girl, Uptown Attitude.
She lives in her uptown world, as the song says. Twin sets are a bore and she pawned the family pearls for some rapper chunky gold chains… sorry grandma. There’s nothing cliché about her, maybe the attitude but you know, she matches to the beat of her own crazy sounding bongo drum, funky heels and…

NYFW. Look to Love; The Power-Players
This is the look of the power player, day or night she’s on her game. She is not here to cater to your idle chat and ordinary ways, she’s on a mission, possibly to rule the world. Basically, she is not on your level, all you little people… Its the whipped slick everything look during…
