    37 Of My Favorite Looks From the Spring 2019 Couture Collections.

    Viktor & Rolf

    Victor & Rolf are known for their avant-garde designs. From the designer’s giant bobble heads strutting the runway in the Fall 2017 runway show to this year’s full tulle dresses featuring massive blurbs in the couture collection, Viktor & Rolf always get a conversation started.

    Balmain

    Olivier Rousteing. BRAVO! We have been watching Mr. Rousteing for nine years. Falling in love with his work more and more each season, but this collection has taken that infatuation to new heights. I am impressed by this collection more than any of his previous works because I really can see the vision. I can see the research, the time, the mind power, and the physical labor in all of it.

    Guo Pei

    “The Palace of the East isn’t only a building but also refers to women, because in Chinese culture you have different sayings about women in palaces. It also refers to the outfits and garments women are wearing in these palaces. And you’ll see it in my collection, which reflects all these outfits and garments. As for the people in the Audience.”

    – Guo Pei in an interview backstage before the show began.

    Valentino

    Valentino is a classic brand we all know and love. Paris’s haute couture season was closed out by Valentino this year which says a lot about the power of the brand as a whole. The runway show itself was about “more than just the clothes” as creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli exclaimed before the show began. It was truly a fantasy that included movement, silhouette, and one especially familiar face.

    Alexandre Vauthier

    LEG! LEG! LEG! Alexandre Vauthier uses this sort of imbalance to create these top-heavy illusions that I adore. The collection is seductive and adorable at the same time. The juxtaposition has been executed in a marvelous way.

    Iris van Herpen

    The queen of 3D printing, Iris Van Herpen, creates the quintessential wearable art. Her designs are the most innovative and advanced creations as of today in the fashion industry. She uses technology to create fashion without incorporating the actual technology and that is the point of it all in technological art. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to wear a television on my t-shirt. That is not fashion advancement, it is lazy design. I have digressed away from the original subject matter but you know where I stand. Overall, we are overly fond of Iris van Herpen’s designs in this collection.

    Schiaparelli

    Cowboy boots and feathers are right up my alley! This collection is something I relate to on a personal level. It reminds me of childhood innocence and childhood fearlessness. The quirky and eclectic collection really just puts a smile on my face!

  • The Whitney Museum of American Art

    The Whitney Museum of American Art

    The Whitney Museum of American Art currently has an Andy Warhol exhibition on display with over three hundred pieces from Warhol’s life work. The Whitney is an eight-story museum with floors one, three, and five dedicated to the Warhol exhibition.

    The first floor of the Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again exhibit is a single room flooded with portraits of what seems like everyone Andy Warhol has ever encountered. The room is painted a chocolate brown, the perfect backdrop for each distinctly unique portrait.

    Floor three of the Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again exhibit is dedicated to the artist’s career in film. Once you step off of the elevator you’re immediately presented with multiple televisions all screening short films recorded by Mr. Andy Warhol himself. These televisions are accompanied by several classic Warhol paintings. Most notably his portraits of Kim Jung Un.

    The fifth floor of the Whitney Museum of American Art is where all of the action is. This floor is huge and is where most of the Warhol exhibit is displayed. There are works from every era Warhol has impacted. You could spend an hour or two on the fifth floor alone just appreciating the vast amounts of art.

    As for the rest of The Whitney, not included in the Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again exhibit, it’s filled with work from some iconic artist past and present. One artist I learned about during my visit was Alice Neel. She is an artist most known for her oil and acrylic paintings, her work evokes emotions that feel like loneliness and satisfaction at the same time.

    To conclude, my experience at the Whitney Museum of American Art was phenomenal. The staff is well informed on the art within the museum and exceedingly helpful. Additionally, anyone eighteen or younger gets free entry to the museum and we love a company that supports the youth!

  • JEBLANC: Jeniece Blanchet.

    JEBLANC: Jeniece Blanchet.

    Jeniece Blanchet, the curator and creator of JEBLANC, is developing a brand that is relentlessly itself.

    JEBLANC currently offers two items the “FASHION IS THE FUTURE” and “HUMILITY IS THE FUTURE” sets. Neither piece can be put into a single category. They are necklaces/belts/body chains/ bag accessories/ and anything else you can think of, and that is the beauty of the brand. It has no limitations. It has no fear! Similar to that of its creator, Jeniece Blanchet.

    Her style is representative of the story being expressed by the brand. It declares “The future is now, so grab your safety pins and cowboy hat! We’re going to that party!”

    The accessories have been seen on numerous platforms thus far, such as the MATTE BRAND NYFW Runway Show (collection review viewable here) and the PrettyLittleThing starring Ashley Gram Red Carpet event.

    We wish JEBLANC much success and are highly impressed by the brand as a whole. 

    Bravo!
