    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!

  • Styling Tips: NYC College Student.

    Styling Tips: NYC College Student.

    It’s 7:00 AM  and your College Algebra Class starts at 8:00 AM. The commute to class is about a thirty-minute train ride, and you are meeting friends for brunch right after so you need to look bomb! Here are a few tips to achieve a great look in a simple and quick way.

    1. Accessories can make any basic look turn heads.

    In my accessories collection, my go to pieces in turning any boring lookout are my vintage Doorstopper Chanel Earrings and my YSL Drop EarringsLarger earrings frame the face well and bring attention to you as a person.

    Alternative options to achieve a similar look:

    Dancing Queen Cross Hoop Earrings: $31

    RARE 8cm Authentic 1991 CHANEL HOOP: $470

    ARCH EARRINGS: $58.90

    Irregular Shaped Hoop Earrings: $1.99

    2. Be comfortable. Don’t look comfortable.

    Living in New York you could run into anyone at any time. Your next boss, your ex-boyfriend, your new boyfriend, or Luka Sabbat and if you meet any of these people you don’t want to look like you’ve just left the gym. Comfort is a must due to all the walking you have to do in the city, but that can be achieved without wearing those same old yoga pants.

    Elevate your shoe collection, and the rest shall follow.

    Converse X MadeMe One Star Platform: $110

    SAN JUAN Mad Dog Western Boots: $159.99

    Bamboo Over The Knee Boots: $160.00

    Nike LA Cortez X Maria Sharapova: $100

    3. Tote bags are a must-have-item.

    Big bulky bookbags have to go this school season. Tote bags are hot, and add a little something to any look. They say, “I’m carrying Vogue Magazine and my Marketing Textbook!” They’re also more convenient for train rides being that they’re lighter weight and you can easily keep an eye on your bag. Furthermore, tote bags can easily transition from the classroom to a casual shopping trip at Bergdorf Goodmans.

    Get with it.

    Opening Ceremony BLACK CLASSIC LOGO TOTE: $45

    Bargain Canvas Tote: $1.34

    Mini REVERSIBLE Faux Leather Tote Bag: $44

    Vintage GOYARD: $2,203

  • HAPPYFISH IN WONDERLAND by Sami.

    HAPPYFISH IN WONDERLAND by Sami.

    HAPPYFISH’s Sunday night runway show was definitely a walk in wonderland. The designer featured whimsical elements in multiple pieces. Most notably, the spades card bubble skirt which involved 3D cards and a structured outer shell.

    Not only were the clothes a playful experience, but the furry friends came dressed to impress as well. The HAPPYFISH Runway Show included puppies and bunnies, but not just any bunny. MIFFY the New York City bunny model who was carried in by Anna-Lisa Christiane and left the stage on her bunny skateboard!

    HAPPYFISH IN WONDERLAND was a joyful experience, and we at LYMBRITH wish the brand much success.

    Jackie Cruz describes her makeup aesthetic as very soft feminine glam. The makeup artist believes everyone posses a natural beauty about themselves, but with the help of makeup, she enhances that natural beauty into something so much more.  Jackie says she sees the charm in every client she has, but what she loves is making them see it in themselves.

    All forms of makeup truly fascinate Jackie Cruz, and she’d like to learn more about the different types. From editorial makeup to special FX studio makeup. Although Jackie does prefer softer glam looks she has an appreciation for all forms of the art.

    In five years time, Jackie Cruz would have completed her artistry program in California and would like to begin hosting makeup classes. She’d like to share her gift of doing makeup with others. Jackie enjoys teaching and sharing her knowledge and special makeup techniques with many. Furthermore, Jackie would like to open up her own makeup studio.

    Dayja Billingsly is a makeup artist based out of SSU and she travels to you. What is unique to Dayja Billingsly’s makeup aesthetic is that she not only dabbles in the world of makeup, but she’s also a painter. Dayja enjoys playing more on the creative side, so she stays away from the traditional ways of doing makeup. She also says that being a painter has taught her to have an extremely steady hand which is exceptionally important in doing others makeup.

    For Dayja the power of makeup is what truly fascinates her. She says makeup can enhance your natural features or make you look like an entirely different person. Both are great, and Dayja plays on both ends of that makeup spectrum.

    In five years time, Dayja would like to own her own makeup studio. She would also like to have her own makeup line that would include a vast range of shades. Available for all skin types. Dayja most importantly sees herself being happy.

    MJR Sneaks is a sneaker resell business ran solely by Myles Ramos. The entrepreneur began his business in the summer of 2017 after a life-changing week spent in New York City, New York. During that week he met several business-minded individuals all young and fairing well financially. So the original intent of MJR Sneaks was simply a way to make money, but soon Myles found a real love for the sneaker culture and the streetwear influence on high-end fashion.

    In five years time, Myles Ramos is not certain he will still be in the sneaker resell business however he’d still like to have a heavy hand in the world of streetwear. Possibly even starting his own collection. Nonetheless, the most important thing that Myles Ramos has learned from it all is “If you believe you’re right, don’t let anyone tell you differently”.

    In five years time, Juliana and Savior will have the name Ma3ic be internationally known. The two would like for Ma3ic to be a culturally inclusive site. A place where you would know what was trending in Hong Kong, China even if you were located in Rome, Italy.

    Here kitty kitty!

    Are kitten heels back?

    The sources are saying yes! Teen Vogue Volume VI has recently released a four page spread on the political and fashionable importance of the kitten heel. Women more so now are reaching towards comfort over style but a kitten heel is is an excellent way to do both.

    We purchased these golden kitten heels from Barney’s and added a touch of fur for that wow factor!

    Shop.

    Affordable.

    Monica Pointed Kitten Heel Boots available at TOPSHOP.

    SHANGHAI Kitten Heelgives a more edgy look to the classic kitten heel available at ASOS.

    Sling Back Kitten Heelis great for the office and could be styled for a night out with the girlsavailable at ZARA.

    High End.

    Slash Heel Pumps this Balenciaga Heel is timeless and a worthwhile investment!

    Spice every girl needs a Manolo Blahnik in her life and that’s fact!

    Sling-Back in Red Patent Leather I couldn’t create this list without incorporating a Dior! They always kill it in the Kitten Heel game!

  • Sneaker Culture VS High Heels

    Sneaker Culture VS High Heels

    Are women over the the high heel, the uncomfortable, yet elegant and beautiful shoe?

    I’m saying no, but the stats are saying yes. Heels 3 inches and higher have decreased in sales by 22% since 2015.

    We see women substituting opportunities to wear a graceful heel with a cozy sneaker.

    Photographed above we have Rihanna in a Molly Goddard Gown, and what? Not a heel. She’s wearing a tennis shoe. YAY or NAY?

    But, we still have other fashion icons staying true to the effortless heel look. Such as Tracee Ellis Ross. Who whenever presented the opportunity to slip on a 6IN pump she takes it!

    High Heels VS Sneaker Culture intertwined into Haute Couture.

  • RAGTRADE ATLANTA 2017 Runway Show.

    RAGTRADE ATLANTA 2017 Runway Show.

    Shop Newde.

    The New Newde opened the RAGTRADE ATLANTA Runway Show. This seasons designs were sexy and elegant. Marsha Chin-Glover says she got her inspiration from various cultures. Her pieces showcase women’s bodies as art, love, and sex appeal.

    Tracy Nicole.

    Tracy Nicole was the second collection to show, and she surely impressed. The designer stayed true to her simplistic and classic design aesthetic. The side ponytail with wire wrapped detail was an excellent touch.

    V I Z U V L G V D Š

    VIZUVLGVDŠ is a minimalistic designer who really has no gender boundaries. His pieces are industrial and structured, but still add a feminine touch in the women’s pieces. The designer tailors each look to perfection. Bravo.

    Natt Taylor

    Natt Taylor is an Atlanta based fashion designer whose collections captivate every season! This years collection really showed off her attention to detail. The gowns were incredibly embellished and the draping was sublime.

    Sylvia Mollie

    Sylvia Mollie’s collection this season was entitled STORM. A few of the looks had raindrop detailing which was a great touch. Beautiful construction overall, and I was incredibly impressed.
