Kos' NYFW S14 Entry # 3: Patricia Field & St.Wobil

Hey guys

So the last day of NY fashion week, I did a slight detour. My friend Kimanie invited Vicky and I to St. Wobil's Spring 14 collection, a show he was modeling in. I've  never seen Kimanie model in a show before so I decided to skip Patricia Field this year and give moral support. BUT, thank goodness for Shanna and Rachel for taking pictures for me to share with all of you, thanks gals!

Everything out-of-the-ordinary at the Bowery as the most eccentric New Yorkers closed out fashion week at Patricia Field Boutique. Patricia Field who always does things a little differently, held an event that was in celebration of the boutique’s California designers. What a nice way to mix it up for NYFW!

St. Wobil was refreshing, the collection was split with men's first and then women's closing the show. The highlight for me was the sequin African prints, I have been raised on African prints, it was great to see a modern twist on it!

The highlight of the men's portion for me was the outerwear

Here's Kimanie, so proud of you man!

NYFW September 13 was a blast, see you in February!

Portrait of a Lady : Dessu Collection

I was very happy to see pictures of Dessu's Spring 13 collection up on my facebook wall! Dessu is, designed by Angie Suh who freelanced at my full time gig at Qi earlier this year. I have been in love with her designs since I met her 3 years ago. Angie has previously designed for Alice + Olivia and Kenneth Cole. 

Angie describes the Dessu line "for the girl who likes to be a little bit dressed up, but in an effortless, natural way" (so me!).  

A few favorites from Dessu's Fall 2012 debut collection:

Inspiration for the spring 2013 collection looks toward a softened modernism influenced by the work of Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.  The colors are warm, feminine and more importantly: wearable! 

 

Follow Dessu on facebook here. Congrats Angie on a beautiful collection!

Kos' NYFW Diary #1: PARKCHOONMOO SS13

Sleek & Chic are the two words to describe the Parkchoonmoo's Spring 13 collection.  Oversized silhouettes, netting, and the color white were highlighted throughout the show. 

This look was my favorite!

 After the show Akua and I took a snapshot at Lincoln Center our first fashion show was at our day care center over 20 year's ago lol.

I will be doing a post on Edun tomorrow, can't wait to share. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
