Collection: Michael Kors Spring 2016 Collection
Designer: Michael Kors
Models Who Walked the Show: Aya jones, Karly Loyce and Anais Mali
On The Runway: Nothing completely new at the Michael Kors Spring 2016 Collection. You have the staple dresses, everyday yacht wear and cocktail attire. Nevertheless still great clothes that will last you a life time.
This collection made its debut earlier in the year and we were curious as to how it would be received. Personally, we thought the collection was in a word… cool. Being lovers of art and fashion it seemed to be a match made in style heaven. Converse coming together with the genius that was Andy Warhol.
Who just was Andy Warhol you ask? Warhol was an American artist who revolutionized what we now call pop art. Andy enjoyed seeing the artistic marriage between pop as well as celebrity culture and 1960’s advertisement.
One shoe from the Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars Andy Warhol collection that we still get a kick out of and that is still retailing strong is the Campbell’s Soup rendition. Maybe its because it gives us flashbacks to childhood or that it is simply epic to see a famous painting come to fashion life. It also makes us think of an old dance video…

Collection: Sophie Theallet S/S 2016 – NYFW
Designer: Sophie Theallet
Models Who Walked the Show: Veronica Webb, Lula Kenfe, Mari Agory, Leomie Anderson and Sessilee Lopez
On The Runway: It was a “dream of Africa,” as Theallet references her collection. There were textures of burlap, lace and a heck of a lot of snakeskin. This collection is literally my favorite right now from the S/S16 season. Theallet doesn’t miss a beat. From head to toe, from stitching to the hem line is just perfection. The color palette is divine and the styling is superb. Forever in love with Theallet.
Collection: Serena Williams Signature Statement by HSN S/S 2016 – NYFW
Designer: Serena Williams
Models Who Walked the Show: Amantha Archibald and Symone Challenger
On The Runway: Serena Williams can’t be stopped, beat or held down. She has her hands in so many different avenues and is a pro at them all. We just love her Signature Statement by HSN S/S 2016 collection. It has a very fun, relaxed feel to it that of course any athlete could wear and feel comfortable in and your everyday woman.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane… no it is just the coolest fragrance design you have ever seen! We love when designers step outside the box and create a full on masterpiece. Of course half the reason fragrances sale so well is due to their captivating and alluring notes. However, for some of us a perfume’s overall packaging can also sway us to have the register ringing.
We are loving Marc Jacobs newest fragrance Decadence which comes packaged as a chic purse-shaped bottle. Jacobs says he wanted his fragrance to truly be indulgent. Indulgence means the act or practice of gratifying a desire or passion. Decadence includes sensuous notes of Bulgarian rose, papyrus woods as well as Italian plum. So then, give in to your desire to have one decadent fragrance.
Collection: Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Jeremy Scott
Designer: Jeremy Scott
Models Who Walked the Show: Riley Montana, Kai Newman, Leomie Anderson and Cindy Bruna
On The Runway: Ok is it just us or is this Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Jeremy Scott collection giving you vibes of the movie “Mars Attack”. Jeremy Scott delivers once again with his outlandish attires down the runway that leaves you in somewhat of bewilderment. Yet I did love the sort of 70s vibe we were getting through this collection and the of plenty midriff tops. So at least we know Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus will have plenty of things to choose from for there next shows. Other than that who would wear this. Would you wear any of the pieces? Let us know.
Collection: Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Thom Browne
Designer: Thom Browne
Models Who Walked the Show: Adau Mornyang, Lula Kenfe, Milan Dixon and Shamone Edwards.
On The Runway: Soooo. This collection was over the top, kooky and eccentric but in a strange way you just have to love it. To be able to put all these extremes together from the makeup to the two braids sticking straight in the air and yet still have the clothes do the talking is a true art-form. I could really see many people flocking to grab these pieces off the runway, you may dial it down a bit but the core designs are really solid in craftsmanship.
Collection: Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Vera Wang
Designer: Vera Wang
Models Who Walked the Show: Binx Walton, Ineisy Montero, Aya Jones and Imaan Hammam
On The Runway: Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Vera Wang has some bite to it. The looks were very sporty this season with a sort of dark mysterious classiness to it. It was truly a great combination. Paired with the strong fringe bang Vera was able to put a together a complete look that is young, now and hip.
Collection: Tommy Hilfiger S/S 2016
Designer: Tommy Hilfiger
Models Who Walked the Show: Tami Williams, Lineisy Montero, Alecia Morais, Leomie Anderson, Jasmine Tookes, Aaya Jones, Imaan Hammam, Kai Newman, Karly Loyce andAmilna estevão
On The Runway: I’m not sure if Tommy Hilfiger is still trying to get on our good side with the black community, but I will say that this collection is a good step in the right direction. I have never seen him use so many models of color that it’s quite shocking. The collection was great and a bit different from what we usually see from Mr. Hilfiger. The vibe was quite Jamaican, safari islander girl. The crochet pieces with the use of ethnic prints and colors were spectacular yet still had the refinement of a true Hilfiger collection. Bravo!!
