AS by DF Fall 2013 Fashion Presentation

So, last week I attended AS by DF Fashion Presentation featuring some new Fall 2013 designs from Denise Focil who is doing a relaunch. She’s done work for J. Lo and others and is mostly based out of Los Angeles but is trying to get her stuff out here to New York. Leather is her thing and I liked some of the leather pieces that she had.

Denise wore a dress from her new collection with some great leather striped detail featuring see through fabric. I’ve noticed this seems to definitely be a trend this year.

Her ASTARS Line, a lower price point collection, evidently might be at Intermix stores this Fall. There was a dress that I absolutely adored with very soft fabric and stretchy vegan leather sleeves that will be retailing for about $90. I was impressed.

Tyson Beckford and Melyssa Ford came by to view the collection as well. Good stuff Denise, looking forward to seeing your stuff in New York.

Yours,

My favorite piece from Malandrino’s Spring 2013 Collection

I just love this leather vest from Catherine Malandrino’s Spring 2013 Collection. The details are beautiful and I just love the candy-colored, Spring pastel green color. Comes in ivory too. Looks like they’ll be in stores, especially at Bergdorf Goodman this Spring.

Yours,

Me and Leather this Fall 2012

So, leather has always been around but this season I’ve particularly taken notice. I’m absolutely loving the trend and even the colorful leather designs!

The other day I wore this Theory Feria Danish Leather fall 2012 dress to Saks Furla Event. The top consists of 100% white lambskin and the bottom is black leather.
