Adeam – Brand New Brand at the New York Fashion Week Showing Remarkable Nature Inspired Jewelry Collection

It is so refreshing to see a brand new designer embarking on her first show at the New York Fashion Week. The Japanese born Hanako launched her brand Adeam in 2011. It’s so inspiring to see that she’s already had her first fashion presentation at one of the world most respected places – Lincoln Center during the New York Fashion Week. Hanako’s inspiration was forest, when creating she had a city girl wandering in the woods in mind. I loved that the designer paid a great attention to the jewelry collection as well. It’s so fabulous to see someone showing the entire look carefully tied together. I think it’s only achievable if it’s created by the same person. How can you split or delegate a vision?

 

The theme continues through these interesting branch looking bracelets.

Bracelets worn on both hands, noticed this fall trend at other shows as well. I love it, I think it ads more polish.

Check out these structural earrings. Little sculptures in your ears. Delightful.

Nature jewelry is so intriguing. The branch necklace by Lucid New York was one of my best sellers this past Holiday season.

Zac Posen Spring 2013 Jewelry – David Webb Jewelry Collection

 

Gorgeous David Webb jewelry collection presented at the Zac Posen runway show at the New York Fashion Week last Sunday.

I’m so happy I was able to take these shots – taking closeups and getting them in focus can be difficult especially with limited lighting. I wasn’t able to catch Coco Rocha ending the show in the white gown. And she did end the show splendidly – running back after her runway walk, her fans screaming. She looked like a happy bride. Lovely, lovely.

Enjoy this amazing jewelry collection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Runway Jewelry – Diane von Furstenberg NYFW Spring 2013

I spotted these teardrop earrings at the Diane von Furstenberg show Sunday afternoon. Check out the size of these! They reflected like a mirror, I’m sorry if the photo I took is not the best quality.

 

Most models on the DVF runway were wearing chains – on wrists, on shoes, as handbag straps. The larger the links, the better.

 

Interesting collar. No jewelry is needed in this case.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall Handbags and My Favorite Deer Handbag

How awesome. My favorite Marc by Marc deer bag.

It even has a matching deer dress! What a fun collection.

Vera Wang Fall 2011

Grace, romance and effortless style were on Vera Wang‘s mind when she was creating her Fall 2011 collection. Short leather and suede jackets with fur trims, gorgeous nude dresses toughened up with leather gloves and shoes. The show was full of well chosen contrasts. The set was full of mysteries – starting with the music by Javier Peral to large metal doors where the models were coming out of. It’s as if they were coming out from an ancient jail, or maybe a huge castle. I almost didn’t want to go backstage to preserve the mystery. I wanted to keep my jail/castle image fresh.

Jill Stuart Fall 2011, Fanny Packs on Runways, Runway Jewelry and Accessories

Jill Stuart Fall 2011 collection was very diverse  – colorful with bright. Only after the show while looking at the photos did I notice that many outfits had actually hidden stories – animals, sunsets, trees, all this hidden in between the perfect fall hues.

 

 

 

 

Interesting leather and suede juxtaposition

 

One of my favorite dresses from the show, I love how perfectly it looks on the model.

 

 

 

I found it hard to believe when I read the article by Rachel Dodes at the www.wsj.com With Fanny Packs on the Runway, Can Mom Jeans Be Far Behind? that we will actually see fanny packs on runways for Fall 2011. And here they were at the Jill Stuart show… Approve, disapprove?

Betsey Johnson Meeting

What a surprise. This morning at the New York Fashion Week Betsey Johnson was hanging out at the Diet Pepsi booth. I got to meet her, briefly chat with her and wish her good luck at her show on Monday.

 

 

 

New York Fashion Week Jewelry

I have been waiting to check out this Tadashi Shoji Kara Ross jewelry collaboration. I’ve been waiting to see if the pieces will be complementing, adding to or overpowering the outfits. Sadly, in my opinion, the collaboration didn’t quite work as a collaboration. It seemed to me that both Tadashi Shoji and Kara Ross created their collections separately and it was as if they met the morning of the show to dress the models together.

The fall 2011 Tadashi Shoji collection was airy, textural but delicate. The Kara Ross jewelry was heavy and metallic. In many cases the texture of the dresses was just too busy to add a necklace. Because of most cuts of the dresses, I had the impression the necklaces were not in harmony with the collection. It’s as if the outfits were "asking for" earrings – gorgeous, delicate, intricate, waterfall like earrings, which would sparkle to the rhythm of the walk of the models.

I loved Tadashi Shoji Fall 2011, I liked the Kara Ross necklaces as well. I just would not pair the two designers together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is my favorite dress from the show. I love the romantic color and the randomness of the flowers. Beautiful texture. Thankfully no necklace was added to this dress…

 

All the photos were taken by me, please link back to the site should you want to use them. Thank you.

*** Correction: due to the last minute change, the jewelry for the Tadashi Shoji runway show was provided by Dannijo, and not by Kara Ross. I’m sorry for this mistake.

Christian Siriano Fall 2011 Finale

Check out the finale video for now, I have some amazing closeups of Christian Siriano for Payless new shoes collection as well that I’ll be sharing soon.

 

Fashion Internships – the Way to Know your Fashion Dreams

For some, the New York Fashion Week may be a reminder about how much you would love to be involved in the fashion business. Sometimes it’s even hard to specify what your fashion dream is. Would you like to be a magazine writer, editor? Cover fashion on TV? How about being involved in the fashion shows production? If all this sounds wonderful to you and you don’t have a specific goal in mind, the easiest way to find yourself and your dreams in the fashion world is to apply for fashion internships. Being involved in the temporary position could make you discover what it is that you would want to work towards. Having a specific goal in mind helps attaining it.

First, let’s look into where to find an internship.

I’d recommend starting with sites such as internships.com, fashionjobs.com or just craigslist.com. After every trade show I get emails from students asking if we need an intern. So leafing through the trade show catalogs including the info of all the exhibitors can be a good idea.

Now how do you select an internship?

I’m sure most of you reading this, who would like to find an internship are going to answer they the ideal solution would be landing it at Vogue. Every year hundreds of thousands want to work at Vogue. Does this super woman, her assistants, and the assistants of assistants need that much help?

I bet the Vogue office could not even fit a fraction of those applying. I’m not writing it to discourage you from applying for an internship at Vogue. By all means, go ahead. However, you probably should not just limit yourself and wait for the answer from Vogue. Try to broaden your options, apply to different companies, consider applying for different positions. You may be surprised to find out that positions you have always thought of as your dream jobs are not really that interesting and you may find your fashion dream job is not at all what you thought it was going to be before starting your summer internship.

Even though most fashion internships are unpaid, getting one can still be a challenge. Yuli Ziv, editor of an online magazine MyItThings and co-founder of a blogger network Style Coalition offers some fashion interview tips. The tip that got my attention is "don’t be a fashionista, be an expert." Be familiar with the key players – brands, designers in the industry. "The love for shopping and putting together outfits isn’t enough to make it in this industry" says Ziv.

Also make sure you are very familiar with the company you’re applying to – know the topics they cover, things that are important to them. And lastly, make sure you’re memorable – whether it is by showing your presence all over social media networks, your blog (highly recommended) or by preparing a custom made application. Sending an unusual handwritten thank you note is always a good idea. One of the most memorable thank you notes I have heard of was the one written by a friend of mine, who applied for a position at the New Yorker. After her interview, she managed to find a postcard with the New Yorker office building on. And she did get a job.
