Luis Peralta Spring 2010 Collection

Designer Luis Peralta & I

What I wore: Dress/Jacket by Ali-Ra, Leggings by Lauren Conrad, Biker Gloves by Carolina Amato, Necklace (Worn as Bracelet) by Sogoli, Glass Ring by Unknown (Purchased at Scoop), Poland Shoes by Jeffrey Campbell, Bag by Salvatore Ferragamo

If you took advantage of the exclusive invitation to Luis Peralta's Spring 2010 Collection runway show that took place last night, then you already know just how talented Mr. Peralta is. For this collection, he was inspired by the film and musical West Side Story and each of the fifteen evening wear looks that hit the runway showcased structured lines and shapes paired with the feminine, soft curves of the woman's body. Peralta wowed me with each and every one of his designs. And it just makes it that much more impressive that he is only EIGHTEEN! You can certainly expect a lot more to come from Luis Peralta, so stay tuned!!

PARK CHOON MOO Fall/Winter 2010 Collection, Good Units at the Hudson Hotel

Korean designer Choomoon Park debuted at NY Fashion Week with her Fall/Winter 2010 Collection. I was unable to make it to the show, due to prior commitments, however...I couldn't NOT post this line! I soooo knew I was missing out when I had to turn down the invitation (which came with a preview of the line), but after seeing these pictures it was moreeeee than confirmed. This entire collection, literary everything in it and about it, is TOTALLY, TOTALLY, TOTALLY my style. Edgy, wearable, structured with a masculine/complete tomboy vibe, and allllll in monotone colors--lots of BLACK--my abbbbbsolute faveeeeoriteeeee! And isn't it fun how both the men's and women's pieces are made to perfectly compliment each other? Gahhhhhhhh...Love it allllll! No matter what, I will NOT be missing this show next season.

Thank you to my friends at Shin Advisors for the invitation, pictures, and information!

What I wore: Top by Iro, Bandage Skirt by Millau, Shoes by Dolce Vita

As Karen Sabag’s models walked down the runway at the Altman Building in Chealsea, classic and feminine were the first words that came to my mind. Almost all of the pieces were black and white (some were accented with small pops of cobalt blue or red and a very, very few were entirely blue or red) and many were embellished with jewels and feathers. Sheer pieces left little to the imagination yet still seemed soooooo classy. Her timeless gowns are versatile and perfect for women of all ages. She finished the show with what she is known best for, her bridal gowns. They were FAAAAAABULOUS and would make any bride feel like a princess on her wedding day!

After attending the 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring/Summer 2010 show this past September (which I can legitimately say, I purchased a few pieces that I saw on the runway as soon as they hit stores. Yes, Phillip Lim really is THAT good! We are frequently pictured throughout the blog wearing his clothes..ie. Meg's skirt from our New Years Eve post.), I knew I HADDDDD to get a sneak peek of his fall/winter collection. There was really no option here. So, when I was offered the opportunity to work backstage, I immediately said yes. No hesitation. I couldn't contain myself! I got there extra early just so I could take my time and check out all of the looks before the models arrived (again, sorry for the lack of personal pictures, taking pictures backstage is forbidden, like we already mentioned in our post about working backstage at Farah Angsana). The collection is AWESOME. Designed for a girl who knows what she wants, this polished meets punk themed line flaunted suspenders (some crossing in the back, some in the front--loved this twist on such a classic accessory!), asymmetrical hemlines, sequins and a ton of luxe outerwear. The rhinestone stars pasted onto the navy blue tights of the models show how Phillip Lim plans everything perfectly down to the minutest of details. The hair and make-up finished the look – smoky eyes with muted lips and full-of-volume rock and roll curls. Looks like I will definitely be swiping the credit card at the Phillip Lim Boutique again soon! CANNOT WAIT for this line to hit stores.

WATCH THE SHOW HERE

What I wore: Sweater by Feel the Piece, Sequin Tee (worn under sweater) by Millau,Leggings by Lauren Conrad, Boots by UGG Australia (And don't even START to bash UGG boots! The weather was awful and cold. You can't expect us to wear heels everywhere. We are NORMAL people you know! HA. Plus, we alllllll refused to do this!!!)

After years of working and designing for some of the best and most high-end designers, including Moschino's Cheap and Chic, John Galliano, Diane von Furstenburg, and Dior, Elisa Palomino has finalllllllly decided to start her own line. It's about time!!! I mean seriously, WHAT A RESUME! We were lucky enough to get an invite (which was by farrrr the prettiest invite we received all week and had a sweet hologram! Hey, I think that counts for something! HA!) to her debut show, which was GORGEOUS! The ultra-feminine collection flaunted velvet (Meg's favorite!), feathers, fur, fringe, lace, tulle, and bows. Let's be serious, look at that list, she basically featured EVERYTHING there is to love in a fashion line! Floral prints and flesh tones added to the elegance of the pieces yet each look still embodied a very "edgy-20s-flapper-with-a-touch-of-Asian-inspiration" vibe. LOVED IT. ALL OF IT. A live trio provided the runway music. The softness of the music, which reminded me of the soundtrack to Gone With the Wind, with lyrics sung in multiple languages, completely complemented the line! And check out how the space was decorated. Talk about PERFECT.

What we wore: Oversized Sweater by Mason, Top by Danachka, Leggings by Lauren Conrad, Boots by Joie. Cropped Sweater by Millau, Skirt by Pinky Girls, Hat by Eugeni A Kim, Boots by Manitoba, Glasses Unknown (purchased at vintage shop), Necklace (worn as sash) by ByLaShan

Lela Rose's girly designs had a sort of masculine twist that we fell in loveeee with. She had a perfect balance of the two. We are total tomboys and a suckers for short dresses and short skirts so this line was definitely for us! Pretty much already decided on a couple of dresses that we'll neeeeeeed for this year's holidays and for New Years Eve! Also total fans of the biiig wind-blown hair that the models were sporting. Four thumbs wayyyyy up for Lela Rose!!
