  Greetings fellow fashion lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and had an amazing weekend. I promise it feels like the weekend flies by so fast, or maybe it's the fact that I'm getting old, Lol.  I remember reading a Vogue Magazine a few years back and I saw a Sandy Liang dress, I thought to myself, "This dress looks like something my grandmother would wear." and I instantly fell in love with it. New York City-based label Sandy Liang crafts avant-garde womenswear steeped in cultural nostalgia. A Parsons graduate, the namesake designer, Sandy Liang, views clothing as deeply personal, using design as a zeitgeist-capturing record of her past. References to a series of childhood muses, such as Margot Tenenbaum and Ponyo, inform the brand’s emotive and relatable garments. Playing with contrasts and proportions, its luxurious collections are characterized by feminine silhouettes juxtaposed with androgynous grunge. Since 2014, the house has been elevating eclectic ...

AAPI Fashion Designer That You Need To Know About: Prabal Gurung

Image
Hello fashion lovers, I'm so glad to be with you all this Tuesday and I hope that all of had a great weekend. I've been a huge fan of Prabal Gurung's world since I saw one of his designs in a fashion magazine that I was reading a few years ago. The way that he uses colors and the tailoring in his designs are so beautiful. Prabal Gurung was born in Singapore to Nepalese parents and raised by a single mother in Kathmandu. He studied fashion design at the National Institute of Fashion Technology in New Delhi, India, and apprenticed with the Indian designer Manish Arora. Gurung decided to move to the United States after watching The Oprah Winfrey Show. Gurung relocated to New York City in 1999 to attend the Parsons School of Design, interning with Donna Karan during his studies. He went on to work with Cynthia Rowley and served as the design director at Bill Blass for five years. In 2009 he launched his own collection, known for its formal evening wear, structured pieces, vibra...

Commuter Core, But Make It Fashionable.

Image
  Another fashion blog post on a Saturday, YES, please. Happy Saturday my loves, I hope that all of you are doing well this Saturday. I'm truly inspired by so many fashion trends, so it's fair for me to tell you about them.  Commutercore is huge right now on the Spring/Summer 2024 runways, I remember seeing women in the '80s wearing suits and sneakers walking to work. Claire McCardell originated American Sportswear in the 1940s while Anne Klein came on three decades later and many others after that. I really do love this trend because it's practical, it's something that we all can wear and everyone has an old suit that they have from the '80s, a bag that holds the kitchen sink, that they had from the '80s, a beautiful coat, and a pair of stylish sneakers in their closets.  The Spring/Summer 2024 runways for Luar, Prada, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Mark Gong, Bottega Veneta, Dries Van Noten, and Rachel Comey have done this trend so well, that were are not too much, simp...

I Just LOVE Your Cinched Waist

Image
 Happy Friday fellow fashion lovers, I hope that all of you survived this week and are ready to enjoy the weekend.  I hope that this blog post will help you enjoy your fashionable weekend.  Word on the street is that Cinch Waists is back on trend and my question to that is "Has Cinch Waists ever really left Fashion." As many of you guys know, the fashion world is a revolving door, a lot of trends always come in and out of fashion. Cinch waists give you a perfect hourglass shape that I think we all wish we were born with. This trend also reminds me so much of the '50s as well.  The Maison Margiela Spring/Summer 2024 Haute Couture Collection has gotten a lot of praise, and I can see why. The tailoring and makeup were just beautiful to see.  Countless other designers have done their own version of this trend such as Bally, Wiederhoeft, Jacquemus, and Schiaparelli.  Fashion friends, I hope that all of you have enjoyed this blog post, I love you all so much, and...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Cocokind Resurrection Polypeptide Cream

Image
  Hello my loves, I hope that all of you are doing well this Thursday/Friday eve. The weekend could not come at a better time so that I can catch my breath momentarily. I've been seeing the AAPI-owned beauty brand all over Ulta's website, so I had to do a blog post about them. I love the message behind the brand as well, All of the formulas in their line gently deliver the function they promise as well as hydration, skin barrier support, or both, which they believe are the requirements for glowy, happy skin. Where a beauty product’s price comes from can often be unclear, and they want us to know what you’re paying for. they can keep their superior formulas at approachable prices because their expertise and resources go inside the bottle. Their sustainability efforts are rooted in substance. They hold themselves accountable for measuring their carbon footprint annually and getting better at this process every year. They dedicate time and resources to measurement, create tangible...

AAPI Fashion Designer That You Need To Know About: PH5

Image
 Happy Tuesday fellow fashion lovers, I'm so grateful to be here with you guys again. I hope that all of you are doing well and had a great weekend.  I remember seeing a dress in Comsopoliatin Magazine by PH5 a few years ago, and I thought to myself, "Why are they not well known in the fashion world. Their designs are so unique and will definitely be a conversation starter. PH5 was established in New York in 2014, PH5 is an advanced contemporary women’s knitwear brand founded by Wei Lin, the daughter of a knitwear manufacturer, and designed by a Parsons-trained, award-winning designer, Zoe Champion. The label challenges the conventional vision of knitwear by marrying whimsical designs with architectural dimensions of knitting techniques. PH5’s moniker is based on the numeric pH scale, which ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 as neutral. If 7 represented androgynous unisex labels and 1 represented the extreme feminine or sexy brands, PH5 would be a brand that's leaning more toward...
