Announced: Alexander Wang x H&M

Published by

Last night as the clock struck 12:00 a.m., Alexander Wang released some very exciting news when he published his first-ever Instagram post. Wang will be the latest in a string of designers to collaborate with retailer H&M on an exclusive line. View the video here. It looks like the collection is set to launch on November 6th, 2014. Which seems about right. Most of the previous designer-collaborations from past years also launched around the same time. I have to say, I really love Alexander Wang’s aesthetic. Most, if not all of his designs are clean, to the point, and all about the little details which I can definitely appreciate. With this collaboration I’m hoping that the focus is on three things: shoes, outerwear, and of course – bags. Here are a few products that Wang already has on the market which I hope serve as inspiration for the collection (illustrations based on merchandise/product already being sold by the designer).   Textured-leather Biker Vest – Alexander Wang Alla Open Toe Wedge – Alexander Wang Prisma Tote – Alexander Wang  Large Chastity …

World MasterCard Fashion Week – Fall 2014 Shows

Published by

I’ve been attending World MasterCard Fashion Week for over four years now (yes, that’s me in the illustration) and have been covering it for my blog for just about the same amount of time. However, I feel that every season I am not nearly as prepared as I could be. Whether it’s needing an extra charger for my phone or remembering to pack some gum or mints (you’ll be talking to a lot of people), or even trying to remember to bring along a notebook, I always feel that there is something that I am missing! But this season I am determined! So, I have put together a little preview of my fashion week essentials. Now, there is a reason that I featured each of the following items. I always say that I carry “my life” in my bag – well now you know exactly what I mean. 1. A watch A girl can’t always rely on her smartphone to tell the time! It’s always a great little accessory to have with you and there …

Fashion Sketch – #NYFW

Published by

I love seeing the street style looks that appear at any fashion week. NYFW began last week which means we have a month or so until Toronto Fashion Week. Speaking of Toronto – it’s still cold here. Can’t wait for spring! Until then, here are some sketches of fashion show attendees battling the cold in an ever-so-chic way. Photo Credits: via Instagram

GUESS Summer 2014 Collection Presentation

Published by

You know what they say – if you want something badly enough, visualize. Luckily for me I didn’t have to do much to visualize about summer and the promise of warm weather. Why? I attended the GUESS Summer 2014 Collection Presentation last week to preview what the brand will have in stores later this year. The collection had a cool, carefree and relaxed feel to it – which isn’t a far departure from the brand’s regular collections. It had me thinking of the beach and summer (of course). And while the collection’s focus was primarily with clothing, I couldn’t help but notice a bag that was hanging off one of the mannequins…. Tell me this isn’t cute (even if you do – I still want it!) GUESS will have you summer- ready in a few months as this collection will start to roll out starting May 2014. Hopefully this was enough to keep give you warm and happy thoughts for the rest of the day! Stay warm friends!
