The Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall/Fall 2021 collection is Gurung's continued love letter to New York City. It is the story of his rekindled love affair with the city, set against the backdrop of a powerful summer where a revolution of self-expression and a hopeful resistance took place.

The 60s have been creeping up on us for the past several seasons, but coming up for Spring 2016, prepare yourself for a virtual Woodstock. Boho, fringe and tie dies were splashed all over the runways, along with that wonderful color orange (which has been back for awhile). So dig back through last seasons Goodwill bag and hang on to that orange jumpsuit that you HAD to have, yet never wore.
Oh orange, how we love thee...but the love is not always returned. Sometimes it's best saved for Tennessee fans or those who had too much fun Saturday night and get to engage in "community beautification." Heavy hitters like Prabal Gurung and Jeremy Scott disagree, so like a good fashionista, I will happily don my head-to-orangeiness, pallor be damned!
Festival Chic couture style has a made a comeback largely in part of the coolness factor of all these big music festivals like Coachella, and the 40-year-old wanna be raver who can afford a $600 designer dress to stand behind the VIP ropes at TomorrowWorld next weekend and sip her rosé. (Which, if all goes well, will be me.)
I watched the Mara Hoffman SS16 RTW show from the second row. Yes, I said SECOND, which would normally be a horror story too tragic to live to tell, but I got to sit directly behind Jenna Lyons, aka "the woman who dresses America." So I embraced my second tier status and the opportunity to chat with the quirky J.Crew goddess, who is just as funny and approachable as you would want her to be. She was intrigued with the concept of Underground Runway. I mean, obviously, why wouldn't she jump at the opportunity to get last season's J.Crew at a fraction of the price? Duh!
So I sat delightfully in the NYFW equivalent of the Titanic's "steerage", hoping to absorb even 1/100th of her quirky mismatched style through osmosis. IT worked! Suddenly I have an urge to wear a full length sequin maxi paired with a flannel button up and topped off with a fur vest. Who cares that it's 92° outside? Apparently the osmosis was so strong it wafted all the way to Atlanta and transferred to my preschool age daughter. You know, come to think of it, that's eerily similar to what she tried to convince me to let her wear last week to soccer practice!
For FW 2024/25 Malan Breton, the brand, presents a collection designed and inspired by the Glam Rock Era of the 70's. Crafted in leather, metal, and silk, sculpted with patterns with details rarely seen in leather work.
La Koradior presented its FW24 collection during Paris Fashion Week titled A Fusion of Eastern and Western Elegance.
The runway event during PFW marked a mesmerizing encounter between the exquisite beauty of La Koradior and introduced designs that seamlessly blend dimensional Phalaenopsis orchids with classic capes adorned with bellflowers.
The Florentina Leitner Fall/Winter 2024 collection, "L’Autrichienne" is inspired by one of the most iconic Austrian women in history. The Austrian fashion designer, based in Antwerp, debuted her latest Fall/Winter 2024 Collection on February 27, 2024, once again at Paris Fashion Week.
Fashion model Olivia Arben has risen her way to “super” status having appeared on the covers of Vogue Magazine and on the runways of New York, London, Paris and Berlin Fashion Week.
Snow Xue Gao proudly presented its highly anticipated Fall/Winter 2024 NYFW Collection, infused with the vibrant energy of New York City. The collection seamlessly blends classic motifs with avant-garde silhouettes and eco-conscious materials, celebrating the city's diverse culture and fashion-forward attitude.
Bishme Cromartie references the fusion of streetwear with the avant garde for his FW24 NYFW collection. We see it but also add the delivery comes with massive amounts of glam.
One of the most exciting NYFW runways every season comes from the Asia Fashion Collection - an incubation project featuring talented emerging designers. The purpose of the Asia Fashion Collection is to discover and nurture young designers who are from Asia.
Melke's NYFW autumn / winter 2024 collection, entitled The Heist, takes a look into the beloved claymation series Wallace and Gromit. Leaning into Melke's carefree joy and childlike wonder, The Heist is inspired by the mischievous adventures that Wallace and Gromit often find themselves in.
If the “great city of New York” was his inspiration then the modern, chic woman was his muse. Dennis Basso always a delivers a refined and polished collection and this season was no exception.

Jeffrey Atlanta hosted designer Prabal Gurung last night with a champagne reception at the end of day one of his trunk show. Today is day two, so hurry!
And get a peek of Gurung's amazing Spring 2014 collection. Inspired by the elegant woman, the collection offers an effortless balance between the classic silhouette and modernity. It's gorgeous, edgy yet very feminine. I especially loved the use of bold graphic prints.
I told Prabal Gurung how much I enjoy his artistic and conceptual approach to runway and (with a big grin) he acknowledged that it's a designer's "12 minutes of indulgence" for their hard work. I replied with a "feel free to over-indulge!"
Prabal's a big fan of Jeffrey Fashion Cares NYC and I (as you know) Atlanta, so we compared notes and agreed he needs to get down here and I up there! [Let's] make it happen.
