Runway Looks To Die For! Reem Acra

(Imaxtree)

Oh.  Em.  Gee.  It's not everyday that I'm completely blown away by every piece a designer sends down the runway, but this collection by Reem Acra, is everything.

While taking in the lovely sights of glamazons parading down the catwalk this season for New York Fashion Week, I've been impressed by many of the collections, which have stayed true to form from the designer's signature style.  But this one in particular jumped out at me, slapped me in the face, and said "Hey!  I've Arrived!"

The runway presented stunning metallics, gorgeous draping floor length gowns, geometric patterns, and ultra feminine/sexy cutouts, all against a dramatic red backdrop that made it seem as though the models were walking on liquid fire.

Reem Acra's spring collection is much darker and daring than the usual designer, but that's why I love it.  It stands out in the midnight crowd with slinky hemlines, ready-to-party-all-night attitude, and oozing sexiness.  This collection is not for the faint of heart... actually, Acra summed it up best with the final look in which the designer said "Boom!"

What do you think of the collection?

On the Runway: Carolina Herrera!

Oh Carolina Herrera stop!  Just, stop!  With your gorgeous skimming silhouettes, classic feminine hemline lengths, soft textures, and timeless chic.  We can't take it!  

Carolina Herrara sent models gliding down the runway for New York Fashion Week 2013 showcasing her Spring/Summer 2014 collection, and it was breathtaking.  While we, of course, expected to see evening gowns and soft draping lines, we were even more swooned by the upbeat geo prints that dominated the collection.

Glittering squares, circles, and angles of all kinds layered one on top of the other formulated a truly unique collection creating some 3D-like optical illusions of trippy-esque grander.  It was in the shapes and prints, that Miss Herrera's collection transcended the norm and stood apart with a new cutting edge, still very much wearable to the average fashion girl.

New York Fashion Week - Watch It Live!



Oh my goodness!  I can't believe it's time again!  New York Fashion Week has arrived in a flurry of awesomeness!  Marking the end of summer, NYFW ushers in the feel of the approaching fall season, by of course showing us what we'll be wearing in the Spring of next year!

So the only problem, if you're not in NY taking in the gams, hemlines, and show stoppers, you may think you're missing out.... well fret not my little diva darlings!  You can watch practically EVERY show this season streaming live, and we've got the schedule.

Many designers have opted to stream their shows live from Facebook, like DKNY, Diane von Furstenberg, and Oscar de la Renta.  But mega sites like Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week have the entire collection of shows available to watch live, as well as rebroadcasts for those you might miss.  

So take a look at the schedule, throw on some couture, and take a seat in front of your computer/mobile device, coz you officially have the best, well, 2nd best, seat in the house!  You're welcome.
