C: Is for finding that Clothing that is just Right!

Trying to imulate the looks that were at Fashion Week for fall, is next to impossible. The look was thigh high boots with heels that didn't look that they came out of Fredrick's of Hollywood and shoes that are reminiscent of the 30's and 40's. The later is being done by Steve Maden but it is Jeffery Campbell HQ that comes the closest. His line should be on the top of every fashionista’s shopping list. Based out of LA, his strong ties to street culture, music and vintage inspirations, has something to offer everyone. He understands the seasons hottest trends, and his updates of vintage classic looks of yesteryear are to die for. Creating shoes and looks which are innovative, fun and forward spin off his inspirations which are Mary Kate Olsen, Music, After-party, NYLON, London, Street, Brooklyn, L.A., FUN!!! and his daughters. Buying this look will not break your piggy bank or stress you out. Most of his line can be found on line by googling his name. Jeffery Campbell is about to become a girls best friend.


While at Fame. Moda and the ENK shows little inspired me until Cynthia Ashby's collection. Resonates autumn’s evolving moods and with her play on artist comfortability, I found myself loving this designers looks. Accentuating stripes and swathes of lithesome color creates a mosaic fluid of form and shape. Made from hand dyed linen, cotton and silk they swept me back to a simpler time, a romantic time. The poetry of color is a key part to what makes these garments unique. The raw look of the fabric is animated with fine detailing in design and construction. Cynthia Ashby speaks to the woman who does not subscribe to fashion trends. This woman is on a perpetual treasure hunt, collecting pieces to mix and layer, creating different combinations and infinite choices for her wardrobe. A classic elegance with an impulsive verve. Black silk velvet and black nylon mesh mingle with dyed silk tulle and silk satin. Delicate threads interlace to form a gossamer radiance. Dyed in hints of Cinnamon, Nightfall, Roux, and Patina to effect an ethereal vivacity. Though this look is not for everybody I found myself dreaming of ways to pull this off.

Fashion is individualistic and that is why finding designers you never knew makes this an exciting F.A.C.T.
