Marissa Webb sent her spring/summer 2017 collection down the New York Fashion Week runway on Thursday, September 8, 2016 at the Skylight Clarkson in New York. The collection stayed true to Marissa Webb’s well-loved aesthetic, while staying ahead of the trends with fresh, new takes on everything we need in our closets. Love that!

There were beautiful handbags on Marissa Webb’s spring 2017 runway which featured fringe, golden chains, and vintage binocular case silhouettes. The bags were shown mainly in black and pink. Love! I am definitely eyeing the black, vintage-inspired bag!

Spring 2017 is featuring pinks, military green, and a lot of black/white combos. Marissa Webb has given us her take on the current trends for spring, and they are fabulous!

Day one of New York Fashion Week was an extremely busy day for me. I had back to back shows throughout the day starting at 9am, and ending at 9pm. I saw Nicholas K, Concept Korea, Supima, Fashion Palette, Michael Costello, Desigual, Marissa Webb, Cynthia Rowley, and The Art Institutes. Whew!

Since I knew ahead of time how busy my schedule would be, I planned on wearing this comfortable jumpsuit. It is a fall item, yet it is cool enough to wear in ninety degree weather with humidity. An oh, the humidity! It was brutal, very, very, brutal.

Normally for New York Fashion Week in September, I wear cute high heels. With all the standing in line at fashion week, walking to and from shows, and rushing from show to show, my feet get beat up. I decided to go a different route this season and wear comfortable booties with socks for extra padding. This was a great plan! These booties are super comfortable, and they allowed me to get though the day without killing my feet. Happy feet = happy me. Love that!

If you are looking for a go-to outfit this fall which is comfortable and perfect for busy days, this jumpsuit and booties is it! You can find the jumpsuit online here, and these super comfortable booties are online here. It is easy to add color to this outfit, or play up the black with white stitching like I did by pairing similar accessories.

Stay tuned! I have tons of coverage from New York Fashion Week coming up on my social media channels, and here on the blog. Spring 2017 is looking fabulous, and I hope you will love it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Supima Design Challenge New York Fashion Week spring 2017

supima designer nyfw spring 2017 supima jeffrey taylor supima jacqueline chen supima jacob blau supima kara michelle kroeger supima jiyeon lee supima duston jasso supima judges supima nyfw ss17 winner jeffrey taylor

Supima held their spring 2017 design challenge at New York Fashion Week on September 8, 2016 at the Skylight Clarkson in New York. Supima’s contest featured six emerging designers from around the United States who created their designs from raw, Supima cotton materials. It was incredible!

The emerging designers were Duston Jasso, Jiyeon Lee, Kara Michelle Kroeger, Jacob Blau, Jaqueline Zeyi Chen, and Jeffrey Taylor. The celebrity judges included Kyle Anderson, Moti Ankari, Ann Caruso, Malina Gilchrist, Avril Graham, Carmen Lilly, Julia Loomis, Federica Marchionni, Alicia Quarles, Cameron Silver, Mary Alice Stephenson, Lilliana Vasquez, and Katherine Zarella. The designer mentor was none other than the fabulous Bibhu Mohapatra. Love him!

I loved everything on the runway. It was amazing how the designers took raw Supima materials, and transformed them into stunning evening attire. The prints, texture, and silhouettes were beyond amazing. My favorite designs were from Jeffrey Taylor, and Jacob Blau. Jeffrey Taylor’s dresses were wearable, timeless, and simply perfect. Jacob Blau pushed the envelope and showed edgy designs which questioned what one wears for evening events. I am obsessed with his plaid coat featured in the photos above. Love!

Jeffrey Taylor from the Savannah College of Art and Design won the competition. Every single one of his pieces were perfect. I hope we can see his designs in stores such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue someday! I would buy them in a heartbeat!
