I was invited by Kit and Ace at The Shops Buckhead Atlanta to come in for what they refer to as a "design session." What does that mean? Well, in my case, the design session turned into an impromptu photo shoot, but, the real purpose of a design session is to provide feedback to Kit and Ace on wear, style and functionality. They got an A+ from me on all counts!
The Canadian clothier has experienced acclaim for their "technical cashmere" - a proprietary fabric blend that is low maintenance, machine-washable and the softest textile you will ever touch. Their technical silks are just as soft. Beyond soft actually.
Another huge, standout quality about Kit and Ace is that they pay as much attention to form as they do to function. I was blown away with the details and special touches in their design. Kit and Ace will take you from office to night in great style (and comfort). They are on trend with every look but also offer classic styles that will carry you from season to season.
Tom Ford is a trendsetter in every way and last night he flexed his NYFW creds by embracing the much talked about, much debated show-now-shop-now concept. However, it's not a concept anymore because we- the consumer- can walk into the Tom Ford showroom on Madison Ave and SHOP the looks! And speaking of the looks, it was classic Tom Ford. Sexy, sequined, plunging necklines, pencil skirts and to-die-for blazers for men - all with his signature retro-vibe.

We all know that Jeffrey Kalinsky sends down the Jeffrey Fashion Cares runway some of the most exclusive fashion labels in the world such as Givenchy, Balenciaga and Saint Laurent Paris. But with fifty-six looks in this year's show, even the most knowledgeable fashionista or fashionado can't keep up with all the designers. Ever wonder who wore what? "Love that dress..." and then you wonder who made it! Looks like Gucci but it could be McQueen... YOU get it! So, let's break it down. Below is a list to every look featured at Jeffrey Fashion Cares 2016 and corresponds with the photo above:
