musings and observations from the nycstylist team
The dresses worn on the red carpet at the Golden Globes made a loud statement. The men and women of Hollywood all wore black to show their support of the #MeToo movement. Here are some looks from past Golden Globes that resemble those worn this year.
These modern Spring/Summer 2018 looks show how designers have maintained their integrity throughout the years. In the past two decades, trends and styles have transformed, yet these collections show how they remain true to their aesthetic while adopting new design elements.
Paris Fashion week has come to an end and we've collected all of the common trends that ruled the runway. Here are the looks from Paris that incorporated similar components.
LEATHER- Many designers used leather to create sleek looks and unique statement pieces such as a pencil skirt, jumpsuit, trench coat, lace up pants, and high-waisted shorts.
LONG & FLOWY- These looks flowed down the runway. Designers used romantic silks and chiffons to create effortless fluid movement.
RUFFLED TEXTURES- While tulle has been a prominent element during Fashion Week 2017, designers also used ruffles and textures to add voluminous dimension to their creations.
EXAGGERATED PANT SUITS- Here we see how designers transformed pant suits with exaggerated elements. Akris used oversized appliqués, Alexander McQueen executed oversized shoulders, Givenchy showcased a cinched waist, Balmain incorporated bold and contrasting prints and John Galliano applied many different design aspects including pleats, ruffles, and a longline blazer.
Taylor Hill rocked the runway during the 2017 Anna Sui NYFW Fall/Winter Fashion Show in a sheer black dress. When it hit the stores, production had added lining and shortened the sleeves to better suit the consumer market.
Dolce & Gabbana gave their runway a different twist by having up and coming celebrities walk their show instead of typical “It girls.” Like Anna Sui, D&G added lining to the sheer dress making it more practical for consumers.
Prada never disappoints, however, when researching e-commerce sites, we were unable to find any of the printed skirts from the runway show. Nonetheless, the printed top can be found at Bergdorf’s.
The Olsen twins showcased their simple yet elegant ensembles during The Row’s runway show in February. This Neyton Long Leather Trenchcoat in Sand appears to have not gone under any production changes and can be purchased in the same cut and color.
Issey Miyake’s designs turn heads on the runway and in the streets. A knee-length version of this burgundy jacket was paired with a matching belt during NYFW while a shorter version was released for purchase to the public.
Black and gold together always has a certain richness. In contrast with many sheer pieces, this rockstar dress from Alexander McQueen dodged any production alterations.
Paco Rabanne combined geometry and fluidity to the utmost perfection in this timeless piece. The runway dress is currently available for purchase on their website.
Many times a complete runway look does not become available for purchase. Lucky for us, both the ribbed turtleneck sweater and floral skirt can be found on the Balenciaga website in multiple colors.
This coat wooed on the runway during Marc Jacobs’ show and highlighted the latest fall 2017 trend of bright plaids. It can be found in stores in the same cut and color.
With the arrival of Spring, we celebrate our favorite floral-inspired looks from the Spring 2017 collections of Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Marchesa, Fendi and Adam Selman.
Designer, Demna Gvasalia, brought bold patterns and fabrics to the Balenciaga runway. Models walked in oversized silhouette jackets and brightly colored spandex heels that transformed into full coverage pants.
Designer, Sarah Burton flew with her studio team to Shetland Isles, Scotland with the hope to gain inspiration for the Spring 2017 Alexander McQueen collection. Scotish scenery, wild flowers and deserted beaches carried through to floral embroidered jeans, flounce covered skirts and wool knitted dresses.
Inspired by the changing stages of the sky, the Marchesa 2017 Spring runway was a palette of lilac, light blue and blush hues. These evening gowns fell into a realm of feminine fantasy with the use of layered organza, intricate beading and floral-printed embroidery.
Utilitarian stripes, athletic sock-like boots and silk lingerie-inspired pieces filled the Fendi Spring 2017 runway. Designers Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi mixed elements of sporty and floral to produce a unique novelty collection.
Adam Selman's collection is a combination of looks inspired by the disco era and illustrations from American Denim: A New Folk Art by Peter S. Beagle. The overlaying 70's themes resonate through the collection's full denim jumpsuits, wide-leg trousers and use of funky floral prints and D-ring belts.
On Sunday evening, Hollywood’s biggest stars hit the red carpet for the 23rd annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Floral was a noticeable trend on this year's red carpet. These six women transformed the traditional delicacy of the floral print to create bold and edgy looks.
Emma Stone walked the red carpet in a stunning lingerie-inspired Alexander McQueen gown adorned in ornate floral printed lace and embroidery. The actress received the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her role in La La Land.
Hidden Figures actress Taraji P Henson arrived in a beautifully embellished Reem Acra gown accessorized with diamond Nirav Modi rings and earrings. The elements of lace, intricate beading, and choice of blush color create a romantic feel to Henson's look.
Julia Louis Dreyfus accepted her second SAG award for Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her role in the HBO series Veep. Dreyfus arrived wearing a black strapless Lela Rose gown printed with gold embroidered leaves, complementing gold earrings and a coiled necklace.
Sophia Bush wore a bold strapless Marchesa dress featuring heavy draped paneling revealing a three dimensional floral design within. Bush added drama to her look with a matching fuchsia eyeshadow.
Claire Foy accepted her award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series, in a deep-v blush Valentino piece adorned in a green and white floral printed tulle. The black tulle adds edge to the contrasting conservative feel of the light pink and orange collared neckline.
Kaley Cuoco, nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series, wore an ultra feminine Marchesa gown designed with pastel blush and baby blue tulle to create a true sense of delicacy.
