NYFW – TamaraLoves

It’s New York Fashion Week and all of New York City (I exaggerate, not all of New York City) is enjoying the scenes, the festivities and the shows. I am not a fashionista and not invited to most shows and I rely on the recap done by the New York Times for my season looks from my favorite designers. Watching for my couch may very well be better than waiting to watch shows from seats that are not front row. I kid, it’s always better to see and hear and feel the entire aesthetic but the constant run to shows can be hectic and should be left to the professionals who does this. I did manage to watch a show put on by Style Fashion Week held at NYC’s famed restaurant, Cipriani. The energy was great and the people were all fantastic. The designers were varied and the looks were both funky and pretty.

The hat is from Forever 21, the fur scarf is from Zara, the jacket is vintage from L Train Vintage.

Fashion week was in full swing in NYC and the designers did not disappoint. The looks for Winter/Autumn 2016/17 were rich with deep plums, velvet and always the staple, black. Speaking of “Black”, there was a cry for more diversity on the runways recently and Bethann Hardison worked alongside Zac Posen in order to deliver what the people asked for. His models ranged in all hues of Black and were gracefully dressed in shades of plums and wines. The show was amazing. When we speak of diversity, don’t just look at Black and White but also think of body types and age. There were plus sized models (well just regular size in the world that we live in) and models who were over 30 in some shows this year as well. I think the direction that many designers are going in is just fantastic and all women should be celebrated. We are strong and resilient and all different and that is what makes us all so fabulous.
