Lela Rose Fall 2019 Bridal Run of Show

Represented by Karla Otto.

Fall 2019 takes the traditional uniform for a modern-day spin. This collection juxtaposes a classic romantic feel with the modern touches that lela rose is known for. Filigree embroidered bodices, floral fil coupes, and off the shoulder flounces in both crepe and organza add an element of whimsy to these contemporary styles.

There is something for every bride in this versatile collection with a variety of fabrics and silhouettes. These gowns will take you from your bridal luncheon, to Your ceremony, and beyond.

Internationally Renowned Cellist Josh Roman In Concert

The critically-acclaimed revolutionary concert experience, GatherNYC, today announced a dazzling lineup of artists for its upcoming Fall 2018 season, marking their second season as a New York City musical institution. Earlier this year, the progressive organization – which evokes the community and spiritual nourishment of a religious service (but the religion is music), launched its inaugural season, which featured an enviable roster of world-class musicians (Dover Quartet, New York Philharmonic principal clarinetist Anthony McGill, 2018 Grammy Nominee Sara Caswell), to sold-out audiences.

Founded by cellist Laura Metcalf and guitarist Rupert Boyd, GatherNYC has been steadily gaining notoriety for their diverse, inclusive, and multifaceted approach to the classical music concertgoing experience by providing a weekly Sunday morning musical reprieve from the uncertainty of our current times.

To complement its musical performances, GatherNYC’s one-hour weekly concerts also feature a unique spoken word performance by winners of the international Moth StorySLAM, which promotes the art of storytelling and honors the diversity and commonality of human experience; as well as a brief celebration of silence – a practice that informs community, togetherness, and empathy. Guests are also served artisanal coffee and pastries before the concert, for a nominal $20 per person.

[portfolio_slideshow id=68507 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]
 

Beginning Sunday, September 30th, GatherNYC’s Fall 2018 weekly “mindful musical mornings” – in residency at SubCulture at 45 Bleecker Street – will launch with a performance by the Attacca Quartet. Hailed by The Washington Post as a quartet that “epitomizes the string quartet ideal,” Attacca Quartet will present a morning concert of their signature repertoire, which deftly blends beloved classical string quartet works with electrifying new compositions.

The season continues in October with performances from artists including dynamic cellist and senior TED fellow Joshua Roman with pianist Conor Hanick, Russian Renaissance (2017 winners of the M-Prize, America’s most significant honor for chamber music), the virtuosic, genre-crossing super group Founders, and acclaimed classical guitarist and GatherNYC co-founder Rupert Boyd and Friends.

November sees performances from Magda Giannikou (the vibrant vocalist and accordionist performing music from around the world), harpist Bridget Kibbey, who has been hailed by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as “The Yo-Yo Ma of the harp,” and notable woodwind quintet Imani Winds (“What triumph sounds like”- Philadelphia Inquirer).

The season draws to a close at the end of the year with performances from the internationally renowned violin virtuoso Rachel Barton Pine on December 2nd, followed by the final December 9th performance from one of the leading piano trios of its generation, Claremont Trio.

GatherNYC is also proud to partner with Airbnb, and is sponsored by Goodie Girl Cookies and Caffe Vita for the Fall 2018 season.

A veteran to NYFW, VIVI ZUBEDI presented its ready-to-wear work themed Marrakech this season. Inspired by the beauty of the city of Marrakech, Vivi poured her idea into cross-cultural dressing, which combines the elements of the beauty of the city of Marrakech with the uniqueness of wayang silhouettes originating from Indonesia into print through floral touches and summer colors. "It is our mission to become a worldwide affordable luxury brand in modest fashion and lifestyle collection in order to fulfill our customer needs with passion and commitment," said Vivi Zubedi, CEO and designer of VIVI ZUBEDI.

Suedeson wanted to showcase divergence into the world of couture with the SS19 collection, “Nucleus”. Designer Kimberly Tandra chose this name of the collection because her inspiration for each piece she creates comes from her personal, core experiences. Nucleus showed a diversion of cultures and races with a mixture of leather details, delicate yet bold headpieces, batik, oversized bell sleeves, and also intricate hand sewn details. Leather garment like jackets showed harmony through the combination of materials with silk, cotton, and organza in black, red, and beige hues.

Coreta Louise

Coreta Louise’s SS19 collection, “Tropical Haven”, showcased how beautiful Indonesian batik can be translated into edgy, wearable style. Hand painted silk can be worn in metropolitan life and influence modern women with the natural color range and traditional pattern while looking gorgeous on everyday and comfort fashion pieces. Stunning hand-woven silk, taffeta, and organza went down the runway in glam gold, maroon, terracotta, and midnight blue tones and innovative silhouettes with mock necklines, wrapped kimonos, and off the shoulder gowns.

With her collection, the designer hoped that the American fashion industry would recognize Indonesia for its traditional, beautiful batik patters but also for the country’s ability to modernize their heritage and culture in a unique way through fashion.

Notable attendees of the Indonesian Diversity runway show included Derek Warburton (Celebrity Stylist), Rydel Lynch (Singer, R5), Rocky Lynch (Member of R5), and Allison Holker (ABC’s Dancing with the Stars).
