New York City is action packed at the moment. We all thought the craziness would be leaving the Big Apple now that the Super Bowl is came and went, but that could not be any further from the case because....IT'S FASHION WEEK. It's time for all of the world's celebrities, media, bloggers, and genuine fashion enthusiasts to convene in the greatest city on earth, all in the name of fashion.
I had the opportunity to attend Launch NYC Fashion Week by Manufacture New York Demi Couture/Couture show, which featured three independent designers who are apart of the Manufacture New York incubator. The show took place in a loft like space in the Chelsea area of Manhattan. The venue was swarming with photographers and excited guests. At 6:30 pm the show began, starting with design house Minnoji, then segueing into Modu, and finally Mimi New York. The three presentations had very different feels but I enjoyed each equally.
Minnoji went for a very modern feel with leather head piece and leg accents. There was a strong military presence accentuated with blunt asymmetrical cuts. Black and white monochrome is trending for Fall 2014 and Minnoji showed this with a predominately B&W collection. Modu had my complete attention with beautiful wool coats. These coats would complement any Fall wardrobe. Modu offered a more laid back, everyday look but the construction and fabric quality is definitely what made it demi couture. Mimi New York brought a strong sex appeal to the runway with a collection of body fitting gowns. The use of flowing sheer fabrics, lace, and beading gave the line a 1920's flapper feel. The avant garde teased faux bobs were also a nice touch. This one ivory colored gown with sheer cutouts and train was my favorite look for the night.
The Launch NYC event was phenomenal and I would love to attend the Fall showing. Special thank you to MontagePR and Amp3 PR. More event recaps are coming soon.
