F: Is for Fashion

New York Fashion week is almost here. This German based designer won't be among those yearning for the coveted designer to wear award. Her combination of the finest merino wool and delicate silks have me infatuated with her creativity. The nature of wool and silk are the guiding ways to the creations of Tiara Mana. Through the act of felting a unique form takes shape. Each single piece shows whether it wants to be worn as a skirt, a scarf or a top. When women wear these creations, their inner blossom unfolds, beauty shines from within. The Queen Within. The whole collection is manufactured in her atelier in Stuttgart Germany. Material and colour combinations are individually chosen, silk dyed with special pigments. Each design evolves like a picture of wearable art. Fashion as individual as the woman wearing it. All of her designs are one of a kind and unique. I have only seen here wares shown at the gift show but this is a name to keep your eyes on.
I can not wait for Nanette Lepore's show. I am already coveting her two piece suit in the window of a local store. This adorable jacket comes with a fitted mini skirt sure to show your best assets while keeping you business chic. Nanette Lepore is one of those designers who flies slightly under the radar, creating smashing designs season after season while never garnering too much press attention. Most recently, her designs have been seen on every starlet in Hollywood-- Nanette is a favorite of Eva Longoria, Reese Witherspoon, Vanessa Minnillo, and more. Her designs are the perfect mix of girly and functional, and are always a hit and that is a F.A.C.T.
