Out with the minimal, and in with the maximal- so goes the ever-revolving door of fashion trends. For Fall 2017, we are revisiting the powerful, exaggerated silhouettes and over-the-top embellishments of the 1980’s. From New York all the way to Paris, runways were lit up by each designers’ newfound flair for extravagance. It is finally time to open your minds and your closets to daring, yet infinitely chic possibilities. Shop on…
Power Shoulders: One of the most memorable fashion moments of the 1980’s (aside from the larger-than-life hair) were the larger-than-life shoulder pads. Think cropped couture jackets and little party frocks all with a dramatic shoulder line that creates the illusion of a smaller waist.
Fun Furs: When the temperature starts to drop, nothing says decadence quite like swathing yourself in fur. This season, don’t let your exceptionally soft selection of outerwear be merely utilitarian; instead, choose one that is just as unique and cheerful as it is cozy.
Rare Birds: Feathers are no doubt the biggest story in embellishment this season. Bright, bold, beautiful plumes could be spotted flouncing down the catwalk of practically every major designer.
Give Them the Slip: Who says silken slip dresses must be confined to the bedroom? If you are afraid of being mistaken for a sleepwalker, layer an asymmetrical, lace-trimmed slip over a t-shirt or sweater for a decidedly modern look.
Flower Power: As Miranda Priestly famously taught us in The Devil Wears Prada, florals are by no means groundbreaking for spring. They are, however, an unexpected delight for fall and winter. This season, designer’s showcased moody, yet bold versions of the print that would feel right at home in an 18th century painting.
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.

Paris Fashion Week, Milan and New York jet-set their way to Atlanta every year. The last Monday in August has become one of the most anticipated dates of the year because of Jeffrey Fashion Cares. Many view the high-end runway show, live auction and philanthropic event as the kick-off to the Fall fashion season in the city. With designer labels such as Gucci, Celine, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Valentino, Dries van Noten, Saint Laurent Paris, Balenciaga, Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik, Jeffrey Fashion Cares is most definitely the hottest ticket in town.
Jeffrey Kalinsky
The visionary behind Jeffrey Fashion Cares is its founder, fashion icon and philanthropist, Jeffrey Kalinsky. He has two namesake boutiques, one in New York’s meatpacking district and the other in Atlanta at Phipps Plaza. Jeffrey Fashion Cares, which showcases the latest looks of the season, occurs twice a year - in NYC at the US Intrepid as a menswear show and the other runway is in Atlanta and is celebrating twenty-five stylish years. While the NYC event brings out the likes of Vogue's Anna Wintour and celebrities such as Chloe Sevingy and Zachary Quinto, it is the Atlanta event that got everything started. Jeffrey Kalinsky spoke with us about the early years, when Jeffrey Fashion Cares was called “Shoe Cares.” Kalinsky got his start in the shoe business so his charity fundraiser was naturally all about shoes - fabulous shoes, of course. He pointed out that one of the greatest challenges in those early years was figuring out how to create an entertaining and engaging fashion show with shoes. Well, anyone who knows Jeffrey knows he’s always one step ahead - no pun intended - and he figured “it” out.
I once asked Jeffrey how he keeps the show fresh year after year and he humbly turned it back to his amazing team and their hard work, but modesty aside, it’s Jeffrey Kalinsky’s vision, aesthetic and drive that keep him and his endeavors on the forefront of fashion. “Our job is to travel the world and be shoppers for our shoppers,” says Jeffrey. “We try every single season to buy the most beautiful things in the world,” he added. [And] on that last Monday in August, you can see all those “beautiful things” parade onto a 140ft+ runway. One of my favorite moments of the show, besides all the to-die-for looks, bags and shoes, comes at the finale walk where Jeffrey makes a runway stop to kiss his mother while she hands him a bouquet of roses.

Jeffrey acknowledges that breast cancer and AIDS have affected so many lives and that by coming to Jeffrey Fashion Cares, you are participating in something good. In its history, Jeffrey Fashion Cares has become the largest combined AIDS and breast cancer benefit in the country. Lila Hertz, who has chaired the event for fifteen of its twenty-five years, shared an optimistic and inspiring message, "We are so proud of the contribution we have made to the breast cancer and AIDS charities over the years. However, our work is not done—there is still much to do for these two diseases. So, we want everyone to join us to celebrate our silver anniversary and contribute to help us reach our goal of one million dollars. Together we can do it!!”
