New York Fashion Weak At The Knees 2015

*DISCLAIMER* 

This post is going to be very New York Fashion Week heavy. If you aren't into that kind of thing, then I'm not really sure what you're doing here to be honest. Go back to whatever you were watching on Netflix. Gone? Ok good, back to #NYFW2015.


Now, because I'm not a fashion critic, what I am about to say about these looks I have selected isn't going to be particularly eloquent or articulate. But it will be full of excitement and enthusiasm. 

First up: 


Lacoste

As a huge fan of layering and draping this collection had me at the first look. There is a relaxed yet put together look about it. The mix between how sleek and tailored the pieces are and the fabrics used excite me greatly. I would wear so many of these pieces. 


Jason Wu

The greens and the reds. The leather. The shapes. Sleek. Crisp. Modern. Yes. 


Public School

I am a huge lover of coats and jackets. And Public School had a lot to chose from. And they did not disappoint. I particularly love the volume used, and the fact that they were not afraid of over layering. The looks were perfectly edited, not too much, not too little. My particular favourite is the long black coat with the string tie. 


Marchesa

Now it wouldn't be a post about Fashion Week without mentioning Marchesa. So many exquisite gowns to talk about. I found it so difficult to chose just four. From a styling perspective it's so much fun to look at a collection and be able think in your head who you could see wearing the pieces. Be prepared to see every actress/model/singer walking down the red carpet this award season in a Marchesa S/S 2015 dress. The Emmy's are just around the corner...


Rachel Zoe

I have been a fan of Rachel Zoe for many years and if there one thing she knows, it's style. This collection has the perfect balance of simplicity and perfectly intricate details. These two white pieces were by far my favourites. White has been a huge trend this season and I am more than ok with it. 

Dion Lee

And following on from the white trend. Dion Lee. A collection filled with architectural lines and perfectly muted tones. All the pieces were still chic even though many included some interesting and unusual shapes. 

  

I would also like to give a quick nod to some of my other favourites from this week. There are many many more but to include them would make this blog post into more of a dissertation and I have already been through the hell of writing one of those before so here are just a few.

Re-discovering your style

Project Runway Season 14. Yes I know I am probably the only person left who still watches this programme. Mainly because I can't get enough of Tim Gunn and don't think I ever will.

But the reason I bring it up is I have been obsessed with the newest season. In particular, with *SPOILER* the recently eliminated designer David Giampiccolo. And in particular, this coat:

Give me it. 

Buy me it. 

Burry me in it.

As soon as I saw it my mind started reeling just thinking of the possibilities of this coat, what to put it with, where to wear it, how to photograph it. 

As mentioned in my previous post I just started a course in fashion styling at The London College of Style and seeing clothes like this, or even just watching Project Runway has made me so excited about clothes again. 

Having lived in Dubai for the last 10 months I began to feel like I was loosing my sense of style, you can only do so much shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops everyday. 

It's so exciting to play with clothes again, to move to a new city and get to wear things I'd maybe not have been comfortable or confident enough to wear in other cities. I have begun to care about the way I look again and always want to make a statement or impact wherever I go. You have no idea who you will meet, or who will see you. Especially in London. 

I have decided to adopt the mantra of, 'Dress every day like you might bump into your ex' because lets face it, it could happen and you always want to look your best and show them what their missing.

New City. New College. New Blog

Welcome,

I'll keep this short (unlike me, I'm 6"2)

My name is Daniel. 

I recently moved to London to pursue a career in fashion styling. And with that have started a foundation course in Fashion and Personal Styling at The London College of Style. 

Yesterday was my first day. It was a day full of information and inspiration. I met so many new people, all of them being girls (I am the only boy in the class. good thing or bad thing?). I did meet one boy though and he goes by the name of Prince Cassius. Fashion blogger extraordinaire and hair product aficionado and all around snappy dresser. 

He came in to talk to us about the world of blogging and social media. His story and work ethic really inspired me and made me excited about blogging again.

     

I stole this from Prince's twitter. SOZ PRINCE!

I would like to think that I am pretty adept at the world of social media. Well, if constantly being glued to it means anything then I'm sure I could become a professor on the subject. But I have only dappled into the realm of blogging in the past. 

So, here it goes. My new foray into the blogosphere. Third time's a charm right?

I always love getting recommendations on new music and also introducing other into the music that I like. Every post I'll give you a song or an album that I have been listening to that day or week.
