Michael Kors NYFW Review

In one word: comfort. Michael Kors for fall is a relaxed state of elegance, where looking good is synonymous with feeling good. Call it wintertime chic for a fast description, but the cozy mountain lodge feel from the first pair of looks set the tone for the collection (shockingly, not a single dab of bronzer was used backstage). Melded with showgirl qualities, the lineup of terrific separates—never once fussy or overdone—made these fabulously approachable wares. Among the standouts were large belted furs, red-and-black blanket-plaid coats and skirts, cable-knit sweaters (the chunkier the better), long and lean skirts and après ski pieces that made for the complete woman when complemented by the bias-cut satin and beaded gowns. As for the accessories? They were beautiful. Framed doctor bags, furry hats and Mary Janes stacked on metallic chunky heels required no extra effort.

Runway Review: Bottega Veneta -

Jewelry Collection

by Americana Guest Blogger, Jim Shi

Tomas Maier delivered a terrific spring collection that emphasized fashion ease. In contrast to the nonchalance of the clothes, the Bottega Veneta fine jewelry collection is more exquisite and involved—each piece, continuing a benchmark since its launch, an example of the masterful merge of technique and tradition. Obvious elements juxtaposed against the simple lines of the garments are the dramatic elements of the filigree and cameos hand-carved in lava stone by craftsmen from the vicinity of Naples, where the art of cameo-carving was first practiced by the ancient Romans. The cameos, which are darker in shade and much rarer than those made from shell, are set in an exquisitely beautiful blackened sterling silver.
