Designer Spotlight: Modernist - Abdul Koroma & Andrew Jones

Forging an alliance in the name of competition proved to be very smart idea for Sierra Leonean Adbul Koroma and Brit Andrew Jones. As a result, the two launched Modernist. This is the most appropriate name that I could think of to describe their amazing collection. I would have liked to see just a tad bit more color in their collection, their Spring/Summer '09 line does not disappoint. There is a wonderful mixture of classic lines, bows, ruffles and sheer fabrics to give any girl that perfect girly, feminine look. Their web site is not available yet but when it goes live, see it here.

Sneak Peek: Fashion Week Outing

I have been trying to pull together all of the pics that my girlfriend gave me for posting. It is going slowly. But here is a sneak peek of our Fashion Week outing at DVF. Can you believe Andre Leon Tally was inches away from us? Wow!

My Faves From Fashion Week: Zac Posen

I adore Zac Posen. He is one of my favorite designers. He has the girly, flirty, sexy thing down. I would die to wear one of his gowns. So he had to be one of my picks for faves from Fashion Week. Here are my must haves from his fall collection. See more here. His line is available at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Saks.

My Faves From Fashion Week: Mrs. Beckham

I do not envy anyone but the closest that I come to envy would be for Victoria Beckham's sexy life. Not so much for what she does, but because of course she is married to the sexiest man alive, David Beckham. Wow! Okay, moving on :-)

Mrs. B came to conquer us yanks and she has made a wonderful start. Her spring collection was okay but I love her fall collection. She is also keeping her lines very clean and her silhouettes very modern and chic. These pieces scream VB! I love the Morticia look of her gowns. You go V. I love ya. Here are my favorites:

My Faves From Fashion Week: Marchesa

You just can not go wrong with Marchesa. Marchesa was the pick over at The Bridal Wishlist, too. There just hasn't been a collection from Marchesa that I did not love. This one is no exception. Marchesa is always black-tie, red carpet ready. See more here. Marchesa is available at Neiman Marcus and Saks.

My Faves From Fashion Week: Chris Benz

Thank goodness for Chris Benz. Who said that you can't wear bold colors in the fall?? Not me. So hat's off to you Mr. Benz for showing us that there is color, beautiful bright color, even in the fall! These are my favorites from his fall '09 line:

My Faves From Fashion Week: Christian Siriano

Of course... what would Fashion Week be without Mr. Fierce, Christian Siriano? It would be pretty boring! Mr. Fierce did not disappoint. His line had the expected drama and feminine boldness that we have come to expect from Christian. I loved every piece. Since I had to pick a few, here are my favorites. See more on his web site.
