Georgine sent her fall/winter 2014/2015 collection down the New York Fashion Week runway on Sunday, February 9, 2014 and took my breath away. The stunning collection was filled with beautiful shades of blue, purple, berry, classic black and sparkling silver sequins. The prints, patterns and textures offered a taste of fresh luxury unmatched on the New York runways.

There was a classic, elegant vintage vibe in Georgine’s collection which took onlookers back to an era when women dressed to impress. The ladylike silhouettes, cheerful fall color palettes and sophisticated designs showed a return to effortless chic for fall. 

I was blown away by the beautiful blue print dress in the top photo and the blue print pants in the third photo. Must-have’s on my fall wish list! There is a press video from IMG Fashion below, which looks on the Georgine fall/winter 2014/2015 runway were your favorite’s?

Custo Barcelona showed his fall/winter 2014/2015 collection at New York Fashion Week on Sunday, February 9, 2014 and offered the fashion world luxurious prints, rich colors, sheer fabrics and metallic prints. Custo Barcelona took his inspiration from a bygone era transforming high-waist flowing skirts, classic long-sleeved turtlenecks and crocheted A-line dresses into fashion-forward designs for the modern woman.

I fell in love with the brown printed, a-line dress shown first in the final walk photo above. I also adored Custo Barcelona’s use of blue/purple prints! (psst! Blue and purple prints are a huge fall 2014 trend from the NYFW catwalks!) What are your favorite looks from Custo Barcelona’s runway for fall/winter 2014/2015?

Asia Fashion Collection, which is a global incubation project, showed the fall/winter 2014/2015 collections from their designers at New York Fashion Week on Saturday, February 8, 2014. The designers showed a vast array of artistic collections which offered a mixture of commercial appeal, avant-garde looks and a fusion of both.

Three of the designers were from Vantan Tokyo and three were hand selected by PARCO. The emerging designers who showed their fall/winter 2014/2015 collection during Asia Fashion Collection’s show at New York Fashion Week included: 

VIANAD ViVi joanne Anais dorsbien by Suzuki Mark (Vantan Design Institute)
ViVijoanne and Anais.  Elegant and sweet fictional sisters are based on an imaginary scene from a romance movie.  The feeling of dreaming a story translates to the feeling of wearing a story; a brand in which garments transform women dramatically.

AUSTIN. W by Tzu-Yun Wu (Taiwan)
Calm, cool, and neutral tones with a touch of futuristic gray marks the image of this brand. I create infinite possibilities through digital prints that appear every season, combining sophisticated silhouettes with simplicity.

HANG by Mim Mak (Hong Kong)
Founded in 2012, Hang presents a collection of stark blacks and winter whites focused on shapes.  Raw edges and sheen are paired with graceful hemlines that articulate movement.

is by Kishimoto Akiko (Vantan Design Institute)
Designs reminiscent of dancing under the moonlight.  Luxury clothes in leathers, wools and silks, shine in the dark. Rock is the root of the brand that emulates hard elegance.

R-SHEMISTE by Won Ji Yeun (Korea)
Modern, innovative combinations of fabric and textile, accentuate the unique quality of materials.

SEi by Sei Yumiko (Vantan Design Institute)
Haute couture knitwear.  “Fascinate the you in yourself. I will give you the one and only seam – the seam that links you to yourself.”  Remember more; imagine more. If you have what it takes to throw it all away, dare to be wilder.
