Needles and Fashion: NYFW: My favorites and reviews of Spring 2017 RTW (Picture Heavy) Part 1

Hi Dolls!

I have been MIA lately working on rebranding and customer orders but wanted to take a moment to give you my reviews on NYFW for Spring 2017. Hopefully I can provide you with a bit of inspiration as well.

Here we go!

Pam & Gela

Pam & Gela consists of Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy. Gela is one of the co-founders of juicy couture and explains the inspiration behind the collection. Here are my favs.

First this sweat suit... I have been seeing a great deal of cut-up sweats and I am here for all of it!! The details on the jacket are exquisite and yet simple enough to be casually chic.

This T-shirt and straight leg jogger combination is tomboy chic!

Distressed sweaters! The cream as well as navy and white striped sweater and olive jogger combination is rustic and can be worn with sneakers or heels. Heavyweight sweater fabric can be difficult to locate. If you are lucky enough to locate some, you can create this sweater with a simple pattern and distress the fabric by removing several of the grain line fibers and stretching the fabric post construction.

This! Tapered joggers are my absolute favorite. The styling options are just as great as a pair of skinny jeans. The muted camouflage jacket is a great pairing for this look.

Next Up.... VFiles

Listen..... Rapper Yung Thug which is known to wear gender neutral garments, shocked many when his album cover pictured him in a gorgeous layered skirt. The designer of this look is VFiles. I am not very familiar with the brand, but was excited with inspiration. The colors, shapes and displays of protest made for a great show. The collection was obviously inspired by Japanese culture and gener amorphousness. Here are my favs.

Did I ever tell you I LOVE male jumpsuits?

This is not your ordinary flight jacket!

Public School

I have been completely obsessed with Max and Dao since they won The Fashion Fund a couple years ago. I was happy to see some pops of color as well as abstract lines in their construction. I will forever be a fan!

Something about these hats and veils are giving me life. I am also all about long layering for this upcoming autumn.

The lines on this shirt..... yes!

More bombers

I am also in love with the sneakers worn during the show. I can see myself in complete looks that were presented.

Yeezy: Season 4

I never thought I would say this but, Yeezy's line is starting to grow on me. I no longer feel a sense of a post apocalyptic world when I look at his clothes. Yet, with the limited design factor, I am not sure if I would ever actually invest in his clothes as many can be made with those quick and easy patterns. The other thing I didn't get was the clear boots. I say this because clear boots are the "it" thing amongst IG boutiques these days and the price difference between the two has to be astronomical. From what we've seen so far, they aren't the most comfortable shoes to wear on the runway. Still... I have some favs from the show.

I know, it looks like we are entering Kim K's closet.
