Boston Fashion Week

Inside the Tent

I had the opportunity to volunteer for Boston Fashion Week.  my job was backstage, dressing the models before they walked the runway. talk about an exciting yet stressful job. the energy inside the tent was amazing. not only did it give the inspiration and motivation to start my own collection to show next time but the information and first had experience was irreplaceable. these designers had the most amazing designs to walk the runway. i was not able to talk pictures backstage, but i had the opportunity to sneak into the last show of the night.  I saw the designer Marie Galvin whose collection was called Galvin-ized Headwear.  Her entire collection was the most amazing hats, and headbands, complete with fur, feathers and tulle. The garments were styled and provided by Neiman Marcus.  i was able to take photos of the show, next post will include a brief bio of the designer and her designs.

Fall 2011 Ready to Wear Collection

Marc Jacobs take on seventies-gone-forties fashion was to die for this season.  Menswear inspired suiting from plaid, and solid velvet, capes, fur and long skirts are the trends for the season.  This collection is just hitting stores now, which is right in time for the crisp weather and fall feeling that has already started.  Details from this collection include, giant fur collars, panthers everywhere, plaids, stripes in bold navy, orange and green, metallics, chevron printed dresses and skirts, leopards, and velvet suiting. This collection literally has it all, but I wouldn't expect anything less from Marc Jacobs.  This man is a true artist and a master of mixing colors and prints.

Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear

 could light pink neutrals look more amazing?  her take on flirty suiting, feminine dresses, draping and tailoring is beyond. the best part of her collection is the price tags, this is her lower-price line, which makes me love her even more.
