CURIOUSER NEW YORK

I just could NOT not share with you. So damn sexy. So much attitude. I love it! Reminds me of a bunch of cool girls with a bit of attitude that you would not mind...

Designer Luis Machicao was the only designer in the Couture Fashion Week New York who brought 'rock-n-roll' to the fashion week. His latest collection was a true joy to watch, because it was so damn colorful and fun - I absolutely loved his Fall 2012 Collection!

During the intermissions I took my camera on a short spin around the hallways of Waldorf-Astoria to shoot what regular people wore to the couture fashion shows. Here's a mini report behind the scenes of the Couture Fashion Week Fall 2012 - a rather diverse crowd of people. What I've noticed from a bit of shooting that I did was that the red color was the predominant color and was present in almost each one of these people's outfits. Is the IT RED color coming back? You tell me...

  Having been fascinated with The Oscar's Academy Awards show for the last 20+ years, I can definitely call myself a devoted fan of the show. I've been religiously watching The Oscar's ceremony every single year from the day I remember myself. I think it's the only late night show that I was allowed to stay up late for when I was little - [ maybe because my mom was watching too]. So, you can imagine what I felt, when I actually got intimate with The Oscar's...

This latest metal couture creations from a New York-based designer Laurel DeWitt for her LaureLuxe label were truly a piece of art. I could tell that DeWitt had something to do with New York City as I watched her runway show, because the black color is a predominant color in her Fall 2012 Collection. Turned out to be that - she is, as a matter of fact, a native New Yorker - [black color, as I've mentioned it many times before in my blog, is very much liked among the New Yorkers; It's an 'ultimate' do-it-all color, if you know what I mean...] DeWitt's collection can be described as fantastically bold. To her, metal knows no limits, and as you will see from the photos - she really pushes the boundaries of where and how the metal can be applied to an outfit, from top to toe...

Here's as promised a round-up of the shoes spotted during the fashion weeks in New York around and about the fashion shows.  As you can seen, there's a style for everyone - from stilettos, sandals and pumps to Oxfords and boots. The color variations are also pretty wide - from bight colors of (red, yellow and orange) to pastels and dark ones of browns and blacks.  Personally, I'm really looking forward to the Spring...

This is the second time I see a luxury and couture knitted collection by Janina Stankiene for her Janerations label. Last September she wowed me with her knits from her Spring 2012 Collection. While personally I find knits a rather difficult material to work with - [seriously, how much of a knit variation one can come up, right?] - it seems as if every time I see a collection by Stankiene, she pulls the creativity out of pretty much nothing, meaning - out of almost nothing, she makes something. And this something is pretty incredible. Her knitted collection, actually, makes me wanting winter...
