Have you fallen into a way of thinking that maybe you are getting too old for sunglasses? Those pairs of sunnies you bought twenty years ago no longer really suit you, so maybe you should just leave them in the drawer? You might just be right, or at least partially right.
Tom Ford showed his latest offerings at the beginning of NYFW that seems to have a much brighter future this year. Dark glamour has been his specialty ever since conquering the world of high fashion in the 1990s. This time it was really dark and pretty quiet. He remained quiet even after the show and decided to skip the usual interviews. Opposite of his latest collections that were full of loud prints, details, sequins, this time the designs felt more wearable. Ford is taking a different turn for Spring 2019.
Chanel’s fall 2017 ready to wear fashion show stayed in line with Karl Lagerfeld’s “never look back” motto. So it’s no shock the theme for the show which took place at the Grand Palais was very futuristic, including a spaceship that appeared to actually launch as a show finale complete with hydraulics and pyrotechnics. Models such as Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Lindsay Wixson strutted down the “ground control” runway sporting metallic threads, and glittery boots with the classic Chanel black tips that we like to think could resemble moon boots. These looks were not complete without the makeup, of course. The look features a floating eyeliner and bottom lash, reminiscent of the 60’s, which, if you haven’t figured out by now… I LOVE! This combined with the modern atmosphere and threads makes for the perfect balance that Chanel is so well known for.

Jeremy Scott never lacks creativity in any aspect, which is why he has had on-going success. This funky look from the AW16 fashion show is one of my favorites because it had so many great influences, from my favorite fashion era, the 60’s to his usual sparkle, glitz and glam, to rock and roll, and of course…stars! Being no stranger to a well composed “all over the place” style of his own, Scott’s pre-show commentary on the influence behind the collection was that he was gong for a “Dal‚ on Molly” vibe, which makes total sense.
