Son Jung Wan fall 2018 New York Fashion Week

It is always a disco party at Son Jung Wan! I had to keep myself from getting up from my seat and dancing to the beat. There was definitely a party vibe as Son Jung Wan sent a fabulous fall/winter 2018/2019 collection down the New York Fashion Week runway at Spring Studios.

With a dash of classic chic, a sprinkle of avant-garde, and a teaspoon of disco, the fall 2018 collection from Son Jung Wan offered bold color, structure, luxury, glamour, and more. There were bell bottoms with contrasting pleated insets, texture on top of texture, exaggerated peplum, and silver sparkle; oh the sparkle!

Together, the individual pieces created fashion-forward statement looks, if separated, each piece could be integrated into one’s wardrobe to create fabulous updated outfits. This is a beautiful collection to invest in!

Can I just tell you? I am a huge Real Housewives fan, and I was standing in line before the show behind Margaret from Real Housewives of New Jersey. It was so much fun seeing her attending the show and sitting front row. I have been on her side this season during Soggy-Flicker-Gate. Although I don’t condone name-calling, she was forced to apologize way too many times, and never had any ill-intent. I truly felt like she was the one being bullied. Love her! So fun!!

But I digress. . . Son Jung Wan’s fall 2018 was outstanding. I am in love with the yellow look pictured above as well as the bold blue one. I dream of them both appearing in my closet. The whole collection is fabulous! Love it!

You can learn more about Son Jung Wan at her website, SonJungWan.com.

Which look from the runway is your favorite?

New York Fashion Week is underway, and this means the hottest new trends for the fall/winter 2018/2019 season are being shown to us! Of course, my favorite trend to know about ahead of time are the trends in colors.

Pantone has released their seasonal color report today, showing us the top ten colors for the fall 2018 season, as well as the top five neutral or “classic” hues we need to be wearing in the fall 2018 season, and in winter 2019!

Of course, we knew we would see the color of 2018 in the color palette for the next cold weather season; Ultra Violet. In addition to lavender, and ultra violet, designers are showing both a fall yellow hue, and a bright, cherry yellow shade. Yellow has been emerging over the past couple of seasons as an important color in fashion; this means it is time to start adding this happy hue to our wardrobes! If you don’t like to wear yellow, try a handbag or a pair of shoes!

My favorite colors from the palette are Ultra Violet, Nebulas Blue, and Quetzal Green. Which colors are you drawn towards?

Is anyone else glad to see that blush has finally dropped off the color palette? It’s a pretty color, but seemed to stick around too long; in my opinion.

Stay tuned! I am in New York attending fashion week, and will bring you runway coverage as the week progresses.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Detacher is one of my favorite shows to see at New York Fashion Week. The collections are always fresh yet wearable; reflecting an unique style unmatched by other New York designers.

The A Detacher spring 2018 collection did not disappoint as it was filled with the designer’s signature style, infused with modern trends. I loved the use of denim, shades of blue, vintage inspirations, knits, and play on volume. There was even a fabulous, casual tote bag on the runway. Love!

I can’t wait to see this collection hit store shelves!

You can find previously loved A Detacher online here, and new pieces by A Detacher online here.

My favorite look from the A Detacher spring 2018 collection is the blue dress in the second photo from the top. Which look is your favorite?
