The Spring 2013 collection acknowledges the prophetic symbolism of the luna moth to celebrate the evolution and transformation of an ever-intiuitive Bibhu woman.
This is what Bibhu Mohapatra described as his inspiration for Spring ’13, included on the handouts at the show Wednesday morning. The first thing I did when I got home…Google luna moth.
Ever since Full House I have been a huge Olsen fan (and I owned just about every single one of their videos…on VHS). To look back at where they were and what they’re doing now just blows me away. Not many people know how to make a $34,000 backpack and design wearable, affordable clothes at the same time. That’s why I consider Mary-Kate and Ashley the design geniuses of our generation. And it was an honor to attend the Elizabeth and James presentation Wednesday afternoon.
So instead of me reminiscing about the 90s and how much I love the Olsens, let’s talk about Elizabeth and James Spring 2013.
This was my first time attending the Diesel Black Gold show at fashion week, and it just so happened to be Sophia Kokosalaki’s last collection for the brand (Andreas Melbostad will take over next season). Sitting in the industrial space of Pier 57 with a half pipe at the beginning of the runway, I knew the collection would have some skater influence but I wasn’t expecting actual skateboarders to show off some tricks before the models walked the runway.
When I saw the invitation for Chris Benz Spring ’13, I knew this was one NYFW event I could not miss….
Ever since discovering Illesteva on Net-a-Porter some months ago, I’ve been hooked. So I was especially excited to attend their presentation Sunday afternoon at Milk Studios. I had never been to an eyewear presentation before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but it definitely wasn’t this…
