fashion week: a look in vancouver

My fellow b5er Arieanna Schweber went to Vancouver Fashion Week and snagged a ton of photos. I’ll stray from my usual editorial jabbering, mostly because I know so little about these designers.
If anyone has info on any one of them, let me know. I’ll try to do some research and get you more about […]

farah angsana: indonesian couture

Farah’s multi-cultural background totally shows in her collection. I see a little bit of West Coast, some Indonesia and other Asian influences.

This dress is possibly my favorite. It’s a gorgeous white gown with lots of layered effects.

The draping effect used here is seen throughout her collection. I think it looks really good here, but there’s […]

fashion week: thuy 08

Who is Thuy? Thuy is a designer who is the daughter of two tailors. She’s Vietnamese, which I think is great, since I’m Viet as well. And she’s work with United Bamboo, who is fantastic.

A lot of Thuy for spring 08 has this sheer look to it. It’s breezy, and to use this word again, […]

fashion week: nanette lepore

Some other blogger I fail to remember at this second says they like Elle.com’s runway coverage better, so I’m going to use them for a bit and see what I think.
One of my favorite stores here, Ambiance, has Nanette Lepore all over the place. It’s usually very sweet and feminine.

I dig those wide leg pants. […]

fashion week: staerk 08 RTW

It’s kind of like a modern country club with girly touches. I really like this Staerk collection, which is prim and proper, but definitely modern.

This simple u-neck dress is pretty cute and has a boyish air, like a tomboy’s version of getting gussied up. I adore the shoes that the model is wearing, baby blue […]

fashion? it never stops

I don’t usually post on the weekends. It’s kind of my rule, to save my sanity. Otherwise I’d be posting, you know, all the time.
But quick-like a couple things I found today:
Refinery29, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite sites the more I delve into indie fashion, has a great roundup of shows so […]

about my fashion week coverage

Sparse as it is, I wanted to say something about Fashion Week coverage in general. I love Fashion Week, it makes me all giddy inside. And as I said, I’ve never covered it before. In the past for All That & A, I’ve pulled images a couple few times, but never sat down and tried […]

fashion week: Preen 08 RTW

I debated whether Preen should be considered indie or not. The label has been around for ten years, but this is the stateside debut. It might make it indie here, but our friends across the pond might laugh at me.
In the end, I liked the collection too much to not show it to you.

Grey, grey […]
