NYFW Day 3: Jill Stuart & Son Jung Wan

Sweater: Top Shop | Skirt: H&M | Boots: Vera Wang | Bag: Marc Jacobs | Coat: Zara | Belt: Thrifted

For day 3 I had a lot of cool shows! I will cover Jill Stuart and Son Jung Wan in this post. I chose this very whimsical rocker outfit for these two shows. See more photos of this outfit HERE. They are both designers who make very girly pieces but with an edgy twist.

 

 

JILL STUART

I honestly really loved the Fall 2013 Jill Stuart Collection. The black laser cut pieces were definitely a favorite as well as the appliqué textured dresses. The first half of the collection was a black out...meaning black is BACK! Yes....I've been waiting for black to make a return. Everything was very figure flattering and gorgeous. The T-Strap pumps really caught my eye as well. By the way...stripes are also back and the bigger the better! Zoe Kravitz was front row at this show and she dug the pink fury coat.

 

SON JUNG WAN

Son Jung Wan was a great show as always. I really loved the gold dress above! I would dare wear it during the day with a tailered blazer and black heels. PS...Gold is In! Not just on big bulky chains and necklaces but also for clothing. Get on the band wagon! The collection started off very pale and then faded into deep plums and violets as well as reds. It was a very well rounded collection. There is something for everyone in the Son Jung Wan Fall 2013 Collection. I also happened to be seated right across from Brooke Shields so that was pretty cool too lol.

NYFW Day 1: Nicholas K, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Tadashi Shoji & Concept Korea

 

so today was the official first day of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week here in New York...or as we like to call it New York Fashion Week. i covered the Red Dress Collection Fashion Show last night which was just amazing! Stay tuned for that post tomorrow! after covering the show my photog and my blogger bud Jen of Comme Coco and I went for dinner to Cafeteria. I soley blame us going there on my sheer hunger and a photo I happened to see on instagram of a macaroni and grilled cheese sandwich O_o. Cafeteria has the best Mac & Cheese spring rolls with gouda dipping sauce! But I digress. I was tired as all hell last night and when I woke up this morning at 7:45am I almost peed my pants. For 2 reasons...1) Its NYFW HOOOOORAY 2). My first show was at 9am. So I hauled ass and put this outfit together.

Sweater: Aiko | Skirt: Necessary Objects | Jacket: H&M | Bag: Marc Jacobs | Boots: DKNY

Necklace: Thrifted

 

NICHOLAS K.

 Check out the video HERE

Think post apocalyptic or something 10 years after I am Legend. It was very futuristic with a lot of layers. I actually really liked the huge crystal necklace...don't ask me why though. There were tons of earth tones, greens, greys and browns.

 

BCBGMAXAZRIA

 

From what I could view from the nose bleed section, it was a little out of the norm for BCBGMAXAZRIA. There was lots of layering and gorge furs too. The best part of this show was when I got to meet one of my favorite bloggers Aimee from Song of Style. She was super nice and the girl is stunning. I also bumped into Chiara of The Blonde Salad several times and she is also very sweet. She was shooting some kind of video outside Lincoln Center.

 

TADASHI SHOJI

Check out the video HERE 

The show started a little slow but it evolved quickly. I loved the dropped waist dresses, the gorgeous lace, the red velvet...it was perfect. Tadashi never disappoints for special occasion dresses. I especially loved the feathered pieces.

 

CONCEPT KOREA

Check out the video HERE

The show was a mix of designers: Choi Boko, Cres E. Dim, KYE, Lie Sang Bong and Son Jung Wan.

I have to say I loved this show...mostly because it was different and exciting. I liked seeing the contrast of all the Korean designers and their aesthetics.

Front Row NYFW

today was the most fun day of NYFW. this morning when I arrived at Lincoln Center...

the courtyard was bare...is was quietly snowing. No paps...No people... No nothing...

 but stillness and the click of my Charles Jourdan Heels on the wet pavement.

Once inside the tents though it was bursting with action, flashes and fashion!

This was definitely a day I will always remember.

I choose to be a little more daring today and rock some vintage too.

Hat: Top Shop | Skirt: Vintage from Curly Top Vintage Shop | Coat: Michael Kors

Shoes: Charles Jourdan get yours HERE | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Socks: American Apparel

The LINE-UP

Porter Grey

Jill Stuart

Son Jung Wan

Christian Siriano

Porter Grey was definitely one of my favorite lines of the Spring 2012 collections. I also really enjoyed the Fall 2012 collection as well especially the printed dresses and of course the brogues!

Check out this quick video of the presentation.

Porter Grey Fall 2012

Jill Stuart was amazing. I must say I've never really been into her..not for any particular reason but now I'm officially obsessed. What caught my eye was the full mini skirts (so vintage with a twist), the patterns, the black sheer and gold accents and the shoes.

 Not to mention this was one of the best styled shows I've seen this NYFW.

Check out the closing video!

Jill Stuart Fall 2012

Son Jung Wan went far and wide. The collection was well rounded with day-to-night wear. I liked the simplicity of it all and how the collection could be worked together. The earth tones and jewel tones also sucked me in along with the warm furs and wools.

The Spring 2012 Collection was also pretty awesome as well.

 Check out this closing video of the show.

Son Jung Wan Fall 2012

Last but certainly not least was Christian Siriano.

I can not even put into words how excited I was to view these 38 astonishing looks from Christian.

I have followed his career and he has blossomed into a designer to be reckoned with.

Front row was Mena Suvari, June Ambrose and Gabourey Sidibe.

 I was smitten with the clothing...and the shoes. I will be working some extra hours to buy me a pair for sure!

Check out this quick video along with some fun flicks...

ps..he does the cutest little dance at the end!
