Out with the minimal, and in with the maximal- so goes the ever-revolving door of fashion trends. For Fall 2017, we are revisiting the powerful, exaggerated silhouettes and over-the-top embellishments of the 1980’s. From New York all the way to Paris, runways were lit up by each designers’ newfound flair for extravagance. It is finally time to open your minds and your closets to daring, yet infinitely chic possibilities. Shop on…
Power Shoulders: One of the most memorable fashion moments of the 1980’s (aside from the larger-than-life hair) were the larger-than-life shoulder pads. Think cropped couture jackets and little party frocks all with a dramatic shoulder line that creates the illusion of a smaller waist.
Fun Furs: When the temperature starts to drop, nothing says decadence quite like swathing yourself in fur. This season, don’t let your exceptionally soft selection of outerwear be merely utilitarian; instead, choose one that is just as unique and cheerful as it is cozy.
Rare Birds: Feathers are no doubt the biggest story in embellishment this season. Bright, bold, beautiful plumes could be spotted flouncing down the catwalk of practically every major designer.
Give Them the Slip: Who says silken slip dresses must be confined to the bedroom? If you are afraid of being mistaken for a sleepwalker, layer an asymmetrical, lace-trimmed slip over a t-shirt or sweater for a decidedly modern look.
Flower Power: As Miranda Priestly famously taught us in The Devil Wears Prada, florals are by no means groundbreaking for spring. They are, however, an unexpected delight for fall and winter. This season, designer’s showcased moody, yet bold versions of the print that would feel right at home in an 18th century painting.
H&M celebrated the reopening of its iconic Times Square flagship, located at 1472 Broadway, with a special appearance and ribbon cutting ceremony with global pop superstar Christina Aguilera.

Style Fashion Week will be making the move to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum to host its Fashion Week Events this season in New York City, September 7th, 8th and 9th.

The highly produced shows of Style Fashion Week have been touted as the ‘Must Attend’ events at Fashion Week.

Designers are also enabled to sell their products to industry and consumers directly off the runway through an app that Style Fashion week has developed. The roster of designers showing this season is truly inspired and speaks to the current attitudes and trends that are prevalent in the womens, mens, and kids fashion industries.

DIOR. 25th annual Jeffrey Fashion Cares August, 28, 2017
There will be fireworks at Jeffrey Fashion Cares this season through an explosive runway of designer sequins, sparkle and shine! Givenchy, Balenciaga, Dior, Louboutin, YSL, Dries van Noten and Michael Halpern were just some of the labels I was fortunate to get a peek at this week. It's a thrill (for me) to sit in on the fittings and as the only invited media to do so, it's also an honor. For the most part, I sit quietly and simply observe, having conversation with Jeffrey Kalinsky only between fittings.
It's absolutely mesmerizing watching Jeffrey at work: "Is there another bag? Let's try the sheer stockings. Did we like the hat? We should go with the drama..." He has such a defined vision of glamour and elegance that is as timeless as it is modern.
Accompanying the runway bling, expect to see velvets, plaids, structured blazers and suits. Lots of color and lots of volume too. And let's not forget the gowns! There will be 60 looks gracing the Jeffrey Fashion Cares runway and I can attest that you'll lose count of how many showstoppers are in the show. Good luck choosing faves. Grab your sneak peek with the slideshow above - photos by Tomas Espinoza.
The 25th annual Jeffrey Fashion Cares is Monday, August 28th at Phipps Plaza. *Purchase your tickets below.

There is no Throw Back Thursday #TBT more appropriate today than flashing back to last year's Jeffrey Fashion Cares. We are just days away from the 25th Anniversary of this epic event and it is accurate to say that Jeffrey Fashion Cares is the buzz of the town. In this video, Jeffrey Kalinsky talks fashion (and towards the end) he can't almost contain his excitement over this milestone year! The runway portion of the video concludes with the finale walk in its entirety...
Celebs have it all, from the top fashions to the best accessories, their closets and wardrobes are certainly enviable. This Mother’s Day get your mom a gift that’s inspired by celebrity fashion:
Jennifer Lopez is known for her bold style. She’s been photographed by the paparazzi in many different pieces by the jewelry designer Lana, but her favorite pieces, by far, are the Eclipse hoops. If the mother in your life is known for making bold fashion statements, get her a pair of earrings that really stand out. The Lana Large Eclipse earrings give the hoop style new life. The ultra-modern, ultra-chic standout style really wows. Each pair is made with 14-karat gold and the Eclipse hoops comes in two sizes, so you can pick a pair that best fits the size of your mother’s personality.
If your mom can’t get enough of “Sex and the City” and she takes after Sarah Jessica Parker’s chic, quirky, feminine style, surprise her with a pair of sexy and sophisticated Manolo Blahnik-inspired heels. Parker’s collection SJP rolled out exclusively in Nordstrom stores in January 2014 in a partnership with George Malkemus, the president of Manolo Blahnik USA. Her designs are both ladylike and playful, from workday pumps and sexy strappy sandals to summertime wedges and comfy flats, so there’s no doubt you can find a shoe that fits your mom’s unique style.
TV host Bethenny Frankel’s watch collection is nothing short of stunning. Fashion mags have reported that her closet is stocked full of designer watches —that includes a few Michele Watches, too. In a world where technology has taken over and we all check out phones for the time, Michele Watches has endured this era by crafting time-tested timepieces that are both traditional and modern. Each Michele Watch is customizable from the watch case to the watch strap. Choose from stainless steel, rose gold or gold styles in sizes from 16mm to 20mm. The Serein, for example, features 134 hand-set diamonds in the case and on the dial. Other, less-extravagant pieces, like the Deco are great for mom’s who prefer a timepiece that is more subtle.
Plus, since the straps are interchangeable, each Mother’s Day you could give your mom a new leather or crocodile strap to match the hottest trend of the spring or summer season alongside a bouquet of beautiful flowers. The online flower delivery service, FTD, offers stunning bouquets of fresh flowers from spring tulips to elegant roses.
Since her marriage to George, Amal Clooney has been making headlines for her polished style and amazing accessories. There’s no exception that she’s one of the best dressed women in Hollywood right now. The human rights attorney perfectly mixes professional with modern by wearing accessories like the vintage-inspired Balenciaga De Lix handbag. When translated “De Lix” means “The Ten,” so there’s no doubt that this calfskin leather handbag is a standout. The De Lix features two carrying options, by hand or by shoulder, so it’s perfect for women on the go. Balenciaga is known for its unique hardware, but you won’t find any over-the-top hardware on this bag. The two-tone palladium and brushed gold features compliment the sleek, architectural style of the bag without distraction. If your mother is perfectly polished 24/7 and has a high-profile career, give her the gift of a well-designed, Italian made handbag this Mother’s Day.
