TADASHI SHOJI
Sitting front-row in Tadashi Shoji's f/w17 show was an astounding experience. The designer left the crowed in an awe-inspiring state of mind. Models walked down the runway in forest chiffon, lace, velvet, long bell sleeves and much more. The V-neck velvet dresses consisted of draping around the shoulder and open neck-lines. Even though I am not someone who is open to wearing a dress with a long V-neck but I am definitly open to chaneling my Tadashi Shoji by wearing a long gown that will consist of long V-Neck for the next proper event that I will attend. Some of my favorite looks were the pewter electric stripe velvet long sleeve jumpsuit with plunging neck and set-in scarf. I also really loved the persian rose devore velvet long sleeve floor length gown with rose lace insets.
NOON BY NOOR
If I could walk out the runway show with one piece of clothing from each model, I would have been a very adrenalized and happy person.. The looks from Noon By Noor fit in with my sense of style impeccably. Fabrics were double-faced, sumptuous and by the looks of it very soft to touch. The delicate colors (such as caramel, ink, black, white and grey) were paired together within one tone for each outfit, which implicates that people could wear an outfit that will consist of semi-the same color or hint of the same color. These looks could be worn during work-hours, weekend, casual meetings, bolder, running errands as well as going to school. Some of my favorite looks were the caramel faux shearling croppsed jacket and caramel velvet cropped pants, as well as the black mannish blazer, black hooded top and black cropped pants, lastly the black velvet and organza asymmetrical dress.
TAORAY WANG
This is my 2nd season attending the Taoray Wang show and I must say that after the first time I knew that I would highly be anticipating her F/W17 show and there I was watching it again, live and front row. Tao wanted to elevate and inspire people by emphasizing contemporary Chinese drama depicting Qing Dynasty character going over from ancient times in today's world. In the past women had to stay limited toward their wearings within the context of delicate and feminine lace negligees. On the other hand, the suit was known for men to wear in order to the male figure to be presented as the symbol of power, business and prestige. Wang decided to combine the opposite elements by creating the clothing that will consist of deconstruction, masculine with feminine, East and West, heritage and power. Now, how inspiring is that? I could not choose a favorite look but I loved the belted long blazers layered over sexy lace dresses and trousers, the sharp blazers with a zipper shoulder, and a fitted double-breasted jacket tucked into wide-leg trousers, can we take it back to 60's now or what?
GEORGINE
Georgine, the bold wigs that reminded me of when I had black hair while I was in High School were extravagant and spectacular. The inspiration behind this collection was for women that have fashion, are courageous with edgy looks could be living in "Georgine Suite". The extra textured wigs were enhanced by a wide rage of Moroccanaoil products. The models walked down the runway in metallic fabrics, short dresses, warm-fur highlighted coats, contrasting skirts with different patterns where any girl in today's world could wear and feel sophisticated.
