Alice + Olivia's "Wonderland" Spring 2019 NYFW

Globe-trotting trend-setters were treated to a jet-setting fashion show around the world at this season’s Alice + Olivia Spring 2019 NYFW presentation. The label’s creative director and founder, Stacey Bendet partnered with Booking.com and gave way to your international passport of the glamorous kind. Paris, Provence, Marrakech, Positano, Careyes, Tokyo and a make-believe utopian called “Wonderland” were all featured destinations presented as elaborately patterned vignettes.

Alice + Olivia signature patterns, sequins and overall glam prevailed. A ball skirt with an image of the Eiffel Tower reigned supreme - it was exquisite. The collection is vibrant in every sense of the word and is comprised of must-have separates - from palazzo pants, bomber jackets, blazers and full skirts - there is something for everyone. There (as usual) was an abundance of florals and intricate pattern, on almost everything, to keep the A+O girl happy.

OZLANA SS19 NYFW

Australian brand Ozlana presented their much-anticipated new collection DREAM STILL____ at New York Fashion Week. An edgy yet romantic take on street couture, the new collection highlighted their experimental textiles, quality fabrics, and sustainable artisan techniques.

The mood at the runway was serene, with a naturalistic set design featuring dried wildflowers and pampas grass, soft fur overlays, and lightweight cloud props hanging from the air, illuminated in soft hues. The sound of chirping birds and projected moving scenes of waves and stars created an immersive experience, as if within nature, in the heart of midtown New York.

DREAM STILL____ translates a tale of nostalgia as a woman builds her life in the city, recalling her beautiful countryside youth, and lapsing into a sweet recollection of what has been. Presenting an All Seasons collection, and subverting the traditional fashion calendar, OZLANA brings a new moment to their audience, combining highly wearable, practical fashion with an idealistic, dreamy mood.

KIM TIZIANA ROTTMULLER SS19 NYFW

German designer Kim Tiziana Rottmüller leads us through a spiritual story for collection ‘Oblivion’, taking inspiration from a seductive witch, a symbol for our transcendental self and inner magical power. Lilac, the color for spirituality brings light into the collection whereas black is used to submit the unknown, mysterious darkness. Experiments with volume are revealed through oversized hoods and layers of ruffles.

A stand out look - a candy pink oversized woolen jumper embellished with mysterious tarot cards that weave in and out of the knit.

Kim Tiziana Rottmüller delivered a dramatic and theatrical collection to rival all NYFW runways this season.

YAJUN SS19 NYFW

Strange loop: Humans habitually live in a well-defined world, and everything they do has reasons and meaning.

YAJUN

For Spring Summer 2019, Yajun examined the "isomorphic" relationships of men, women and clothing. Inspired by the art of M.C. Esher where everything seems to loop with no beginnings or endings, this collection attempted to push the conformity of design and practicality to greater heights. Presenting menswear and womenswear on the runway this season, Yajun invited the audience to rethink how garments are worn and viewed, offering endless possibilities of interpretation. Jackets, shirts, pants and pockets were wrapped in "strange loops" leaving you to decide its placement, form and function. Yajun SS19 is a collection for the modern thinker with an open mind and a great sense of style.

THE BLONDS X DISNEY VILLIANS SS19 NYFW

Designer Phillipe Blond Spring 2019 NYFW

“Often misunderstood, Disney Villains are flawed, imposing and mysterious, and we loved the idea of taking these characteristics and translating them in a glamorous way, making them the heroes of our story.” David Blond

The Blonds put FASHION back in Fashion Week with their Spring Summer 2019 collection. The show-stopping runway was dynamic, theatrical and wickedly fabulous. Their collaboration with Disney included NYFW glammed out interpretations of the most infamous kind: Maleficent, Evil Queen, Ursula and Cruella.

Paris Hilton portrayed a sequined, bedazzled Cruella De Vil with dog in hand and Loubs on feet.

The Blonds SS19 shined, shimmered and sparkled with a series of catsuits, jackets and feathered coats. The rock-glam vibe of the collection will translate quite well with chic night-lifers and edgy socialites.
