The avant garde label threeASFOUR collaborated with Yoko Ono on their spring 2010 collection. Yoko Ono contributed  her dot drawings printed on cotton and silk, which were then used in this collection. The designers of threeASFOUR also paid tribute to Yoko Ono by reanacting a scene from Ono’s famous Cut Piece performance, as part of the runway show. The evening  also included a preview of Ono’s new album, “Between My Head and the Sky,” which came out on 09/22/09.  To read more click here.

1. Lauren Santo Domingo
Vogue contributing editor Lauren Santo Domingo wore a very fashion forward, fall favorite, a long sleeved mini dress by Altuzarra, with Proenza Schouler’s high heel, suede, lace up booties. One of my favorites for its elegant ease through the shoulder, sleeve and waistline, not to mention  the luxe pale color. Santo Domingo owned it in this dress!

2. Rachel Bilson.
My absolute favorite among the three. Rachel Bilson, is wearing  a rainbow-colored Diane von Furstenberg print dress from the designer’s 2010 Resort collection. Simple black booties, and leather shoulder bag. Why is this my favorite you might ask? Bilson looked chic, yet she still remained to play it cool in her classic pair of Wafarers. Not too many people can pull off a frock like that and she is the perfect example of being fashionable and effortless all at once.

3. Julia Restoin Roitfeld
Tom Ford model, freelance creative director, and daughter of Carine, Julia Restoin Roitfeld is all Fall fashion in her Long-sleeve mini dress and thigh high boots, two of my favorite Fall trends.  Too many people try to wear all the the hottest trends at once and fail. They look like they have tried way too hard but not Roitfield! The luxurious sheen of her dress is just the right contrast against her black suede boots and I’m in love with her choice of simple accessories.


Icon Etiquette: Michael Jackson

Friday, June 26th, 2009

The king of pop and man of style, Michael Jackson, August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009. Michael Jackson while bizarre and questionable at times, is the ultimate performer and iconic figure. As my friend Sarah put it this morning “Every person in the world knows who Michael Jackson is, he’s like John Lennon and Elvis Presley “, and he is, so today Streetfancy wants to recognize him for his musical journey and amazing accomplishments, his astounding performances, his style and the songs we all still dance to!

A New Lightness

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Emporio Armani Fall 2009 Fashion Show, Milan: RunwayThursday, Feb. 26, Emporio Armani impressed everyone with the Fall 2009 collection “A New Lightness” in Milan.

Dresses and skirts ended half way up the thigh, and  were mostly  paired with knee high socks  and a wedge shoe (LOVE IT!). The wedges were very structured with lots of zips, a big trend for Fall 2009.

The collection had a very feminine approach with ruffles that ran from shoulder to knee or all the way around the neck. Armani also uses tailored cuts very carefully with subdued tones of black, navy blue, cream and gray.

With  our economic decline, Armani has encapsulated the mood of the country. The cuts seem slightly derivative of “dressing for success” and the colors are a definite statement of that. The name “A New Lightness” is  palpable, sending an  optimistic message. To see the full collection click here.

“First of all, how good-looking is my wife?” -President Barack Obama

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

I awoke bright and early for Inauguration day, ready to hear President Obama’s history making speech and of coarse… to see (in the words of the President himself) how good-looking his wife was, and good-looking she was.

ra2645957945Our fashionable First lady Michelle Obama wore a sparkling yellow-gold sheath dress with matching coat, designed by Isabel Toledo and paired nicely with green gloves (from J. Crew) and green shoes.

She later looked stunning in a white chiffon one-shoulder gown by Jason Wu, which she wore to the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball. The dress will be donated to the Smithsonian, as is tradition.
