MB Fashion Week: Day 4: Tulle & Clothe Logic- Row 4

Fashion history always repeats itself in some way, shape, or form. Most designers do not need to reinvent the wheel to sell a product. Such is true for the two independent labels Tulle and Cloth Logic who combined their pieces for a colorful runway show. The first look showed a modern version of a pink fifties skirt, complete with a beehive with a yellow bow sticking in it. The menswear grasped firmly onto the nerdy chic that is in right now, rolled up jeans, sweaters, argyle, thick specs, loafers, and unwashed hair. Socks were paired with the pumps... I love it and young Hollywood is very into it right now.. very preppy, sexy librarian from Pleasantville. There was a bit of a cross over into a London style too with all the flats and mix matching. The stylist for the show did an amazing job with taking simpler pieces and pairing them with different colors or patterns or accessories to make an interesting look. All in all, a very fun, youthful, and playful!
Bag bonus: WINNER OF THE GROUP, the swag bag included a mustard cami, a g-pa sweater (good quality too), china glaze nail polish in Revolution, a Smashbox lip pencil, Think! food products, and a small container of moisturizer all in a eco-friendly tote perfect for grocery shopping!

MB Fashion Week: Day 4: Leila Hafzi- Row 3

The Leila Hafzi collection for Spring/Summer 2009 combines an elegant safari look with a fresh color palette. Soft, flowing materials are very in for the next season but the silhouettes in this collection are forgiving to the less than perfect bodies. Her mustard yellow fabric is vivacious and perfect for her overall theme, it is what the fashion forward would wear on their trip through Africa. A salmon colored tunic with a cartoon ape on the front is an interesting new take on playful but sophisticated. Although some of the dresses were a little simplistic for my taste and some of the colors did not blend well, the collection was admirable. A gorgeous peacock tunic at the finale of the show was the perfect close.
Bag Bonus: peacock sacks that mimic the final dress of the evening, Nounou shampoo and conditioner in luscious scents, and a hint water- not a bad bag for a smaller show!
