Fashion Week!

One of the most exciting times of the year for me as a stylist is FASHION WEEK!

I love seeing what deisgners come up with, what's next and what will be the packing the stores soon.

This year was a big return to 80's fashion. Sholder pads. BIG sholder pads. Tight pants. I even saw some neon colors thrown in there.

Another strong influence was a tough of 60's mod fashion, especially in make up. A dark heavy lid and high constasts. So visually interesting.

Strong primary and secondary colors were featured very heavily, especially as an accent to an all black outfit. I even saw the most intersting look: all black with a monocromatic hat in a orange or purple. Very much in the feeling of the 80s, but yet some how modern, re-done and new.

Another HUGE trend is shoes. I kept seeing the same sillouette: an ankle length boot with at least a 3 inch+ heel that had laces. Accessories are absolutely gigantic this season, and when you think about it, that's really clever because you can update your current wardrobe with a few key accessories. These designers are brilliant I tell you, just brilliant.
