I just got back from my first NYFW trip and I have to admit ” what an experience it was ” ! The streets especially around Skylight Clarkson Sq was like a sea of glamour and the fashionistas were like pretty mermaids swimming around. Every girl looked prettier and chicer than the girl next to her. I was so thrilled to witness this metamorphosis and how far we have come along in this sea we called ” FASHION ” !
I did take up a lot of style notes and a few dominant trends that were sighted all around were : velvet, brocade, tweed, fur and lace. Anything feminine and luxe and it was there. Luckily I had shot this look last week before heading out to NY over the weekend and made sense for me to share this look with you coz it features two trends : velvet and tweed ! How: let’s keep reading ???
VELVET- velvet is going to be huge this fall. I had my own inhibitions about this luxe fabric. I always stereotyped this fabric to sleazy clothing, but the way designers are revolutionizing this fabric is worth acknowledging. With pastel shades, classic silhouettes and palatable designs, velvet now holds a special place in my heart. Not only am I donning velvet blouses, shoes and handbag, this powder blue velvet dress is on it’s way to my closet too. I am all over this fabric, especially after seeing it on the streets of NYC.
Coming back to tweed, a good tweed jacket is a must in every closet and I am eyeing these tweed pieces, one of which will surely walk the runway with me.
