This article serves as a warning for all the designers out there! Fresh in her twenties, Delise Ana, is showing the fashion world that she is one not to be ignored. “Each piece is carefully designed, created, and constructed by hand,” says Ana.

Nicole Miller’s Spring/Summer 2010 Collection was like a beautiful classical piece remixed with the edgy Heart song, “Barracuda.” The collection had a fun mix of sweet girl innocence befriends tough girl. Two thumbs up for blending bold leather leggings and miniskirts with sophisticated shift dresses and structured, yet relaxed (an oxymoron, yes, but indeed a [...]

The last show to wrap up my Friday of bliss was the ARISE Promise of Africa Collection. Based off my itinerary sheet, I did not know what to expect and was slightly confused. While sipping on a martini in the lounge, I flipped through ARISE Magazine. I asked myself: “Why have I not seen this [...]

I have adored the brilliance of Siriano since his appearance on Project Runway. The love just intensified as I watched Siriano’s Spring/Summer 2010 Collection…on the flat screen in the tents. Burn! I compare this show to unrequited love because I, the enamored fan of Siriano, was at the entrance to get my seat at the [...]

It was love at first sight. I liken this show to a long lasting marriage because usually you marry the person you would have never expected to be with. As a matter of fact you could have hated or flat out not known this person existed until…BAM! He enters your world and things have never [...]
Twinkle by Wenlan: The First Boyfriend

I equate the Twinkle Spring-Summer 2010 Collection to a first boyfriend that had an exciting beginning, but for one reason or another just didn’t work out. You had your good times, but he just didn’t hold your attention. This was my first show in the tents and my first impression of Twinkle. The best part [...]

By way of introduction to my coverage of Fashion Week, I must inform you that this was the FIRST time I have ever covered the shows in the tents. Last year I attended the off-site shows. There is nothing like being in the tents. It’s the Superbowl of fashion! I felt like such a groupie [...]
