Are you ready for the exclusive…
This was my first time attending Michael Costello's runway show and it did not disappoint. The show was filled with drama from the bright colors, intense draping, jewel embellishments and of course the sassy sashay walks by the models.
Spring 2016 Inspiration
Inspired by feminine decadence, Costello is merging his bold shapes with a softer and sweeter color palate. “This collection has more movement, leaving more to the imagination,” according to Costello. “It evokes the sexiness of a tight dress with the draping of an elegant gown.”
Gaining recognition as both a brand and designer, Costello chose this collection to unveil brighter gem tones, using the body as contrast. “These dresses make women feel desired and unforgettable,” according to Costello.

Right in the middle of this past fashion week
season I had a wedding in Michigan, leaving me no choice but to cut down the
number of shows I'd be able to attend. Luckily GEORGINE wasn't one of them, I
always look forward to seeing their fun filled colorful clothes and accessories
collection each season. This SS16 collection kept that trend alive and going
strong. I found myself drawn to the blues, purples and yellows, not surprising
since those tend to be my favorite colors. Although this was for spring and
summer GEORGINE still kept the fur as a key style on the runway along with
leather. By keeping both elements in pastel colors they preserved and exuded
that easy breezy vibe that the warmer weather brings.
More about the collection:
For Spring/Summer 2016, GEORGINE wanted to break traditional dressing
protocols and defy the conventional approach of how people normally dress. For
instance, leathers are treated in pastels in lieu of the mainstream rugged dark
treatment, French laces are cut into sweatshirts and active wear, and spandex
is celebrated in eveningwear. The results are subtle and surprising and inline
with the Internet age where nothing is ever as it seems.

Yet another striking collection from Son Jung Wan. The collection exuded elegance and sparkle as each garment glided down the runway. The collection was inspired
by Korea’s Jeju Island, an Aquarian treasure, the designer fluently
translates the gentle beauty of nature through this classically elegant
collection. The
models looked ethereal as they floated down the runway in beautiful pastel hues
of lilac and blush interspersed with deep turquoise reminiscent of the sea,
metallic’s sequin and alabaster whites.
Other highlights from the collection included a blush geometric cutout
silk top with a gold metallic skirt, a silk blush dress with a tulip skirt and
cut out sides, a bronze boat neck sleeveless sheath dress with sheer
asymmetrical hem, a pastel multi colored sequin strapless romper and a
sleeveless metallic turquoise deep v-neck dress with collar. So many standout choices to glam up your closet!

It was about the crisp clean hue of white silhouettes featuring angled hems and cutouts at the Jay Godfrey's Spring 2016 Collection presentation. Somehow he managed to feature white clothes, with white accessories and a white backdrop without washing out the view of the clothes and making the simple collection look fresh and new. These sleek looks are perfect for next year's spring and summer season to look effortless chic any day of the week.
More about the collection:
Jay Godfrey's Spring 2016 is
inspired by the work of the late interior designer and architect David Collins. Godfrey's collection specifically
pays tribute to London-based Collins' use of simplicity, architectural lines,
and text to create sensual environments that are simultaneously Contemporary
and established. While Godfrey, who also works in the interiors milieu, was
working on designing a hotel project in Seoul, Korea, he often looked to
Collins' recently released coffee table book, ABCDCS that memorialized the late
designer's work in hotels, restaurants, bars, and private residences. Godfrey
was struck by Collins' use of different shades of white, ivory, alabaster and
cream and has created a Spring 2016 show as homage to his work.
