Talking With Your Money: How to Support Equal Rights While You Shop

0

International Woman’s Day

Whether you’re joining in the International Women’s Day strikes today, for the Day Without A Woman, or you’re at work head-to-toe in red, it’s a good day to shop from women, minority- or female-minority owned businesses.

If you’re looking for somewhere to start, here’s a starter list of where you can shop in solidarity to equal rights. (Plus you can ANY day!)

Your clothes are as influential and vocal as your words. Shop online at these stores and support their mission and work.

Your clothes are as vocal as your words.

 
The Wing / the-wing.com

The owners of this New York co-working space created by women and for women, Audrey Gelman and Lauren Kassan were tired of the lack of “chill space” to work in, so they created one for women.

The space is decorated with art by female artists and a bookshelf specially-curated to feature all-female written books!

Shop their empowering shirts, totes, socks, and more. (And maybe apply to join if you’re in the area.)

 
Otherwild / otherwild.com

Operating as a studio, store, event space, and more in both NYC and LA, Rachel Berks opened Otherwild to have a space for her graphic design and also extra revenue from a retail store.

They grew exponentially fast and, due to her passion and respect for the artists who provide her retail items, has even had to deny some artists that request space to sell.

Shop many things here, including: “the future is female” t-shirts, jewelry, other clothing, accessories, undergarments, home items, apothecary items, and more!

 
Zady / zady.com

Soraya Dorabi and Maxine Bédat founded Zady to fill a niche in the fashion industry, that of sustainable fashion. They’re interested in transparency and creating timeless pieces that are made from raw and sustainable materials.

Emma Watson, well-known for her dedication to sustainable garments, even designed a line with them (that I must say is chic beyond belief, plus your conscience can rest.)

Shop online for an excellent array of classic pieces.

Of course, you can choose to dress without applying makeup (and it makes you no lesser but just as equal!) or you can choose to wear as much as you like (and it makes you no lesser but just as equal!)

 
Bahi Cosmetics / bahicosmetics.com

bahi

Besides having excellent handmade cosmetics (the highlighters here aren’t messing around) and succulent skincare, Bahi is black-owned by Danielle Bahi. On top of all of that, it’s cruelty-free and vegan.

Check out their products and order quickly! It all goes very, very quickly.

 
The Lip Bar / thelipbar.com

lip bar merlot

Melissa Butler quit her job on Wall Street to follow her dream of creating a vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free lip line. This minority-owned business has reasonably priced lip colors in a myriad of gorgeous shades.

(Personally, the gold lip is one of the better ones I’ve seen on the market.)

 
Glossier / glossier.com

After her successful foray with “Into the Gloss”, Emily Weiss started her own beauty bland titled Glossier. It started with a mere collection of skincare products, but its widely-praised Boy Brow and emphasis on the millennia love for “fresh-faced” looks made it iconic.

Add Glossier’s fresh and classic products to your makeup bag and shop online.

Love Me Digital: FTL Moda Goes VR with Samsung at NYFW

0


(By Irene Cacciarini; art directed by Pablo Patanè)

The Shows

Virtual reality may still be in its infancy, but FTL Moda was quick to make history with NYFW’s first-ever all-virtual show, in conjunction with FWO and Samsung.

After a successful series of shows during New York Fashion Week in September 2016, Samsung continued their collaboration with Fashion Week Online, RNWY, and multipurpose platform FTL Moda, founded by Ilaria Niccolini.

On February 14th, the 6th day of Fashion Week — and the official day of love — New York’s fashion elite gathered at Samsung’s Space 837 in Chelsea to present the Future of Fashion: fashion shows in pure virtual reality.

New York’s fashion elite gathered at Samsung’s Space 837.

The VR experiences were produced in Milan by the FTL Moda team, creating five stunning shows featuring international designers Limor Ben Yosef, Premal Badiani, Fllumaé, Sonja Tafelmeier, and Invicta, one of FTL Moda’s showroom brands.

The VR experiences were produced in Milan by the FTL Moda team.

At noon, Space 837 opened their doors to fashionistas, trend watchers, and celebrities. It was divided into a showcase, a museum, red carpet, and a VIP room.

Huge Samsung displays and virtual reality glasses brought FTL Moda’s vision to life, and left some guests almost speechless.

Faces

A huge video installation (page top) created by Irene Cacciarini and directed by Pablo Patanè was created for the makeup room, featuring Make Up Pro. According to Ilaria:

“We created a makeup room experience with a long conference table and an extra long white canvas, and we included 100 lipsticks to be used to leave all sort of messages. The backdrop utilized three huge LED screens by Samsung, in a video made up of interchangeable faces. The faces were generated by combining different identities: we like to think of our platform’s vision as an ‘inclusive’ one, that gives voice, stage, and opportunity to all identities that share the common good.”

You can see some of the virtual reality presentations from the event here. Meanwhile, enjoy some of the 2D shows and pictures of the event and featured designers below.

Land of Hope: A Closer Look at the Valentino Pre-Fall 2017 Collection

0

Coming to America

Pierpaolo Piccioli presented a stunning Pre-Fall 2017 show at the newly-renovated Beekman Hotel in New York City last week, and we were blown away by this enchanting collection.

This collection is romantic, hopeful and breathtaking, with beading for days, delicately embroidered fabrics and the prettiest lace. Flowers, which Piccioli calls “a symbol of optimism … delicacy that withstands even when it starts to dwindle,” came to life in a major way on his shirtdresses and outerwear, and had us wanting to romp our way into brighter days donning the most gorgeous shades of lavender and pink.

Inspired by hope, Valentino feels very timely in this tumultuous political terrain. “For me, America is still the land of hope, of equal opportunities for everybody, the place where dreams can come true,” Piccioli said during a preview. “I like this idea of integration, of resilience. It’s still the America I want to dream about.”

For me, America is still the land of hope.

Fashion and the (Potentially) Evil Empire

0

When the “New Normal” is Anything But

Fashion icon André Leon Talley recently had the courage to say he would be opting out of Trumpland. By which we assume we means he will not be writing about or collaborating with any of the more fashion-forward Trumps.

Whether that implied promise — which will perhaps put him at odds with some powerful people in his circle — will be kept remains to be seen.

The first question that must lead any examination of whether a boycott of Donald, Melania, and Ivanka is appropriate is logically simple: Is Donald Trump evil?

From the answer to that question, all else must flow. If Donald Trump is truly evil, he cannot be supported. And if he is truly evil, people who support him cannot be supported.

But what is evil? Let’s not stick to a textbook definition here. Let’s consider the root idea behind the concept of evil.

Evil is a type of harm to others.

We all harm others, of course, intentionally or unintentionally. That’s an unfortunate fact of life. So you might say evil is defined in part by degree, and in part by intent.

Evil is a degree of harm to others caused by a systematic lack of caring, at best; a direct desire to hurt others, at worst. And evil can be the product of omission as well as commission. A failure to help; a failure to act, when we have the power to help: this, too, is evil.

Evil can be the product of omission as well as commission.

Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Turning a blind eye to evil — failure to accept the beautiful privilege of exercising our ability to help others, one of the sterling gifts of consciousness itself — makes us as culpable as any actor who directly harms another.

Evil, at root, is selfishness run amok. We see it in the behavior of Kanye West, in bad-behaving celebrities we make more successful with clicks (we vote with clicks, whether we like to think so or not), and in our current president-elect.

Why do we support evil people?

And what can we do about them?

Evil is never destroyed by evil; so we should never seek to humiliate or harm. But we do need to fight.

And the first step is to recognize where we are complicit. And to call out those, from Tommy Hilfiger to Carolina Herrera, who may be willing to overlook evil. (Jury still out; see below.) Because when we overlook the overlookers, we join the ranks of those who have failed.

Now the most salient question: Is Donald Trump evil?

We don’t have all the answers yet.

So far, our president-elect hasn’t had the power to do much beyond talk. But the pattern we’ve seen so far — distorting not just the truth, but the concept of truth; using emotionalism, particularly fear and hatred, to manipulate people to his own ends; failure to decry evil in the form of white supremacism (even while finding ample time to humiliate those who criticize him) — paints a worrisome picture, at best.

All of this means one thing: we have to keep our eyes more open than ever.

Because, after all, if early signs are any indicator, the “new normal” will be anything but.

FWO Special Recognition: Elisabetta Franchi Spring ’17

Panic at the Italian Disco

D
on’t tell the PR people, but a great show isn’t about how many “celebrities” you can pack into the front row (“John Lozenge was in the front row? THE John Lozenge of the soon-to-be-released Space Dogs, according to IMDB? What did he think of the collection? He LOVED it???”); how many “it” girls you can pay to walk the runway; or how many self-obsessed bloggers you can whip into a selfie frenzy (who may or may not bring any attention to the actual show: if a tree falls in front of 700,000 Instagram followers — but isn’t actually recorded — does it make a sound?).

No. (Or at least, that’s our opinion, for what it’s worth.) A great show is about creating a spell: mainly — oddly enough — with the style and clothes.

Power Glamour

[portfolio_slideshow id=20436 align=center width=600 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]

(more pictures)

A great show is about creating a spell.

There’s no question that celebrity culture is good for fashion: like it or hate it. But ultimately, it’s about what you see on the models that counts.

By that metric, of so many amazing shows this season (although Paris hasn’t yet wrapped), it’s Elisabetta Franchi that’s gotten our pulses pounding the loudest.

The ’70s exploration that began in February 2015 (Fall 2015 collections) is still in pretty high gear, if the collections we’ve seen on the runway are any indicator (even Elie Saab got in on the act this season). But why the 1970s, anyway? It’s worth plumbing some of the (possible) reasons.

The 1970s posed a peculiar duality: the earthiness of the hippy movement, recast as boho (think suede fringe vests), and Studio 54 glitz as personified by Halston (bias cut evening dresses with shimmer). It’s not hard to see how this translates into larger modern cravings: on one hand, the desire to reconnect with something without a touchscreen — a “remember the earth!” aesthetic shouted from the racks of Free People; and on the other, a desire for bling that doesn’t require Swarovski crystals.

People want to be seen as never before. We could invoke the old Warhol quotation about “15 minutes of fame,” but the Sly Stone song “Everybody is a Star” seems more appropriate. And in a sense, it’s true: every one of us is pretty important, in that peculiar way that life is both “cheap” (the miracle of life is being cranked out, price-free, daily) and infinitely precious: even those beautiful human and non-human creatures not on IG.

People want to be seen as never before.

But no matter your interpretation, the dual 1970s aesthetics — from riding on the back of a palomino to an entrance on the disco floor — are still very much in vogue.

This season, no one captured the era, while bringing in bold swashes of ’60s and even ’80s, like Elisabetta Franchi. Most importantly, this was no mere pastiche: this was wearable couture that worked.

This was wearable couture that worked.

Here was pulse-pounding elegance; Dior “New Look”-worthy Y-line silhouettes that would look great even as shadows; chunky belts and necklaces; complex shimmer; and power-suits that channeled ’60s, ’70s, and even Dynasty-era ’80s with aplomb.

To wear one of these outfits to an event would mean making the rest of the room dim upon entering. And that’s where the show — and collection — succeeded best: in the magic of its spell.

Fashion Future: Powered by Samsung | Part 1

0

Excerpt from an interview with Samsung VP Ron Gazzola and FTL Moda Founder Ilaria Niccolini

T
he future of fashion retail is a lot closer than you may think.

Let’s imagine a scenario.

A shopper finds an outfit she likes, from a website viewed on her Samsung Galaxy tablet. She clicks it, and it says “VIP Parking Space Reserved.” She drives to a retailer, where Samsung GPS directs her to a custom parking space — reserved just for her — at a retail location. She enters the store, and sees a Samsung display where she can try on outfits in virtual reality. She orders directly from the display, since only some outfits are in stock at the location. It tells her the items will be delivered to her home in 24 hours, then prints a coupon for her to get a free coffee at a coffee chain, as a small reward.

Sound farfetched? It’s a future that may not be far off, thanks to Samsung’s emergence in the fashion and retail industries. Some of the first — and most exciting — forays into this new world are Samsung’s new mirrored displays, which allow users to “try on” outfits.

Some of the most exciting forays into this new world are Samsung’s new mirrored displays …

The technology may seem futuristic, but it’s already here. Samsung’s new mirrors are 55″ tall, and can be placed in walls, for a true Jetsons / Star Trek-worthy experience.

To get an insight into the displays — and where Samsung plans to expand next — we spoke with Samsung Vice President Ron Gazzola, responsible for directing the marketing, sales, and product development strategies of the company’s Display and Memory categories.

We also spoke with FTL Moda Founder Ilaria Niccolini.

They recently collaborated with Next Artists and Fashion Week Online to bring a one-of-a-kind NYFW experience to the September runways.

next_x_fwo-212

Ronald Gazzola, VP, Samsung display:
The idea of developing a mirror display for the fashion industry is all about how to create a digital, dynamic, and engaging experience for the fashion industry … for retailers using a mirror display, and creating that one-on-one interactivity between the customer and consumer.

Ilaria Niccolini, Producer FTL Moda:
What we want to do is improve the world a little bit, one step at a time. When we partner with a brand like Samsung and a partner like Fashion Week Online — where we have the opportunity to provide service, content, and the right communication tool to an extended audience like the world — this is really fantastic.

Full interview — and more information about Samsung’s plans for the marketplace — to come.

Rhumba with a View: Vivienne Pash Goes Cuban Bright for SS17

Cubanismo Chic

vivienne-pash-ss17-nyfwSince Cuba has become open to American travelers once again, the fashion world has been highly interested in the aesthetic of its culture and lifestyle. On colorful Spanish colonial streets dotted with old cars, Havana feels frozen in time.

 
Rhumba with a View
 
[portfolio_slideshow id=18978 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]

Inspired by the high-energy and joyful nightlife of the Havana of the 1960s, Vivienne Pash brings simplicity and bold color to her SS17 collection. Her garments could easily transition from day to night, their blend of texture and print fun yet tasteful.

Her garments could easily transition from day to night.

Jumpsuits, long dresses, and shift dresses make up the bulk of her collection — perfect for those coming from the office, or on their way to the next party. Pash plays with asymmetrical structure, and adds unexpected texture on her otherwise simple pieces.

Ruffles, common on the runway this season, are added to a patterned strapless jumpsuit. Entire pieces are made of mesh or sequin, with some mesh paneling as well. A particularly mod piece oozes the ‘60s flair and fun, made entirely of sequin in a vibrant red with a swishing black piece … all the better to strut in.

Vivienne Pash SS17 is an ode to the past and, paradoxically, the future. With a nod to the stylish, simple, and joyful clothes of fifty years before — and to a country seemingly stuck in decades before — she unearths the old in anticipation of the new.

7 Beauty Looks You’ll Definitely Be Wearing This Fall: NYFW and Beyond

Skin-credible Beauty Looks for Fall NYFW

fall-beauty-nyfwAre you ready to find out the hottest trends you should be putting on your face and locks this fall? If you’re excited, hold your horses, Dearie, cause there are tons of look-books that are going to give you very different takes on what’s hot and what’s not.

The first thing you need to know is that all of the Top 7 looks to get this fall are relying on healthy, blemish-free skin. So, make sure you have your skin lightening cream ready to keep your skin prepped for these 7 trendiest looks this season:

1. Metallic eyes. From silver mini dresses to gold pants to glitter pumps — and shimmery eyes? Yes! Metallics are this fall’s hottest must-have. If you want to get trendy, simply top off your eye makeup in nude with a glitter powder and perhaps even color your tear glands with a highlighter. You don’t have to be wearing clothes in gold or silver to pull of this metallic look, any streetwear casual ensemble or evening dress will look instantly trendy with your eyes shining bright!

2. Dark, smoky eyes. Smoky eyes will be hanging on this season, dark, smoky eyes to be exact. Onyx and deep purple in large color blocks and gradients over your eyelids will be a familiar daily wear as the season makes way for the Holidays. Whether it is a bright top and bottom pairing, metallic clothes or bright, floral brocades you are wearing, dark smoky eyes are going to be a top favorite to pair with this season’s newest picks this season.

3. Black, eye-lined eyes. If large blocks of onyx powder feels too much for you, you’ll be happy to know that lining your eyes with ash or charcoal eyeliner pencil will be just as trendy. Line your top and bottom water lines loosely — no need for perfectly flawless straight lines. Let the color hang loosely on your eye lines. No need to draw your cat eyes but, you can very well go for it if you choose to. Complete your makeup with large, open, full, thick and curled up eyelashes. Add a lip color in nude matte to complement your very black eyeliner.

4. Deep purple lips. This is a trend that can easily make you look old and worn, if you’re not careful what colors to wear it with. Complement your deep plum lips with nude colors in browns and light peaches, full eyebrows and unlined eye lines. Make sure your clothes are printed or sewn in happy colors to cancel out the darkness of your pout. Top with a gloss to pack an added shine or, highlight with silver glitter powder to catch more attention.

5. Messy buns, loose braids, head bands and tiaras. Princesses and courtesans continue to inspire the no makeup, no fuss looks this fall. Wear this look with your very feminine dress pieces like velvets, florals and laces to channel the inner royalty in you. Put on a light blush and a hint of glitter or highlighter on your eyes or tear glands. Complete the look with metallic, shimmery or bejeweled head bands and tiaras.

6. Pinks and peaches. Certified no makeup shades, pinks and peaches, will continue to dominate fall. If you need a go-to makeup this season, these two shades are “it”! Time to set aside your mauves and browns or, jazz up your nudes with pinks and peaches, and you’ll be absolutely fine, posh and feminine. Wear this makeup with equally subtle lip color in light pink or peach metallic and you will be glowing like never before! To perfect this look, don’t forget to prep your skin nicely with sheer, light moisturizers and a skin lightening cream to give yourself a natural glow without leaving the surface greasy.

7. Bright eyeliners and lips. Bright colors in pinks, greens and blues are a hit in fall. Start your makeup routine by treating your skin with a nourishing product. Choose your products wisely and accordingly with your needs. Simply take an eye pencil in any of these shades. Line your top and bottom waterlines loosely and really bring it out of the corner of your eyes.

Conclusion:

Blaze your way into these 7 hottest looks of fall and everybody in school or where you work will remember that you were the one who started the trend (wink! wink!).
