American Apparel Afrika

so American Apparel is doing the damn thing right now. they are totally satisfying my urge for African Inspired Prints and bright pops of color.
i loved these skirts so much...I bought 3 and am on the hunt for more.
These skirts are still in test mode so they aren't even online yet!
you just have to peruse every single American Apparel to find them..and not all of them carry these  Afrika printed skirts.
I found these at American Apparel in Harlem and the flagship in Soho.
hurry and get them before they are gone. at $38 a pop...its a definite fashion STEELE!

Ahhhhhhh. im just so happy right now. now i can get my Solange Knowles vibe going.
she is fast becoming my fashion icon next to Tracee Ellis Ross. How weird is it that I have a photo of them both together from a previous fashion week! I am falling in love with Kenzo thanks to Solange. Now if only i could afford it but for now this will do!

Fashion Week Day 3

Ummm so this post is 3 days late and that's because my crazy 2 month old Toshiba computer gave me 
the blue screen of death!
The most important week ever and my comp crashes! Toshiba's are nothing less than pieces of
(insert every curse word known to man in every language here)!
But I digress. Fashion Week so far has been extraordinary. So over the next 3 posts that I will shove down your throat in a quick paced posts order..I hope you enjoy!
WARNING PHOTO HEAVY WITH LOTS OF CELEBS!
On day 3 I wore this and was featured on Refinery 29 for Shoe Stalker!
Show Schedule
Son Jung Wan
ADAM
Farah Angsana
Honor

SON JUNG WAN
This collection was very chic and modern. If I had to sum it up it would be whites and metallics. A lot of whites, off whites and metallics were used throughtout the collection. This collection was very grown up with a playful element via the metallic or fun layers and ruchings. This gold romper was the closer and I took atleast 50 photos just to get this amazing 1! hehe.
Check out my NYFW Coverage Link for a quick Video of the closing of Son Jung Wan.


ADAM
 
Adam Lippes kicked ass with his Spring 2012 collection. What I love about it is that its so well rounded. There is something for everyone and every occasion. Love his use of florals with darker blues. The beaded dress was a favorite and this lovely lace dress is perfect for a first date in the summer time.
Check out my NYFW Coverage Link or Youtube Channel for a short Vid of the ADAM.

Farah Angsana
I mean there are no words. Ms. Angsana can make the hell out of a dress whether it be a cocktail dress, evening wear or a wedding dress...she can whip it up and serve it steaming hot. Another great well rounded collection. Something from a teen prom all the way up to a 60th birthday celebration, this collection speaks to women of all ages who want to look good during a very special occasion. See more at Farah Angsana.

HONOR
Giovanna Randall, may i come live in your pile of fabrics please????
BLOWN AWAY!
Absolute Girliest of All Girls Collection. Full of lace tiny silk and zippered shoulders detailing leading to a boat neck dress. I DIE! The full skirts. Ugh. This was definitely my favorite collection of the day and did you peep those collar necklaces (i need one like now!).
Check out the Vid on my Youtube Channel and see more of HONOR HERE.
