There is continued trouble at New York Fashion Week: The Shows (NYFWS). After a rather lackluster spring 2016 with many complaints by editors, designers and photographers over the change of venue and the draconian elimination of many seasoned industry professionals from the approved media list, NYFWS is still having experiencing the backlash from its spring 2016 season.
On Tuesday Black Diesel Gold announced that it would switch venues for its fall 2016 season and opt to show in Milan instead of New York City in February. Black Diesel Gold has shown consistently in NYC for several seasons and is one of the sought after fashion shows during the fall/winter season in NYC.
Creative director, Andreas Melbostad, stated that the move from NYC to Milan “signals a homecoming for the Italian company, and will also align it with the menswear collection—which already shows in Milan—creatively and geographically.” Hmm, the NYFWS deluge begins!!
Hilary Rhoda’s new job
Supermodel Hilary Rhoda has another gig. Rhoda has partnered with Via Spiga to create a limited edition holiday collection of footwear.
To celebrate the brand’s 30th anniversary, Rhoda pulled inspiration from Via Spiga’s archives. Classic silhouettes served as the foundation for the collection, and she added a modern touch with mirrored, metallic leathers. The brand tapped Hilary for her poise, beauty and refined sense of style that is evident in the details throughout the collection.
“I was looking for a go-to shoe for a special occasion. With so many events, especially around the holiday season, I wanted to design a collection of essential styles that are festive and timeless,” said Rhoda.
The collection includes three styles, in three colorways—black, gold, and silver. Each unique style caters to a sparkly, festive look, just in time for the holiday season.
Jeremy’s Empire
Jeremy Scott may be the anointed, go-to designer for pop art fashion for a lot of young fashionistas. However, he has been on the fashion scene for two decades. And Jeremy Scott’s 10-year collaboration with Longchamp demonstrates that Scott has deep roots in the fashion industry.
“It’s like I’m part of the family! From the second I started working on that project, falling in love with the Le Pliage bag and being asked to design a special edition for my collection, I just fell head over heels for the brand and the people who created it. Longchamp is a family business,” said Scott.
This limited edition Le Pilage bag is a result of a great collaboration since 2005. May Jeremy Scott’s fashion market proliferation continue!!
