Asia Fashion Collection showed their top designers at New York Fashion Week on February 14, 2016. The show was held at Pier 59 Studios in New York.

I always love watching the Asia Fashion Collection show at New York Fashion Week. It is amazing to see what students from Asia are creating for the future of fashion. I loved all the street style influences, athleisure styles, timeless luxury, and artistic touches the designers infused into their collections.

The two navy coats pictured above are my favorite looks from the Asia Fashion Collection runway. Which looks are your favorite?

“If you feel good, you get good. Call it sartorial Karma.” -Nicky Zimmermann

The Zimmermann fall 2016 collection show at New York Fashion Week was beyond fabulous. The collection entitled “Mirror Mirror,” explored the connection between how we dress, and how we feel. Loved it!

The entire collection was uplifting, optimistic, and inspiring. The mix of prints, mixed metal jewelry, and texture offered a feeling of relaxed opulence which would make anyone feel sophisticated, fashion-forward, fabulous, and ready to take on the world.

Inspiration in the collection came from rich colors, prints, and textures found in India’s culture, and their architecture. Nicky Zimmerman translated the traditional use of reflective surfaces, and its playful effect with light, into upbeat designs which brought these elements together into a wearable, fresh collection which was luxurious, extraordinary, and downright incredible!

I fell in love with the thick, chain-linked chokers, luxe loungewear, wide leg trousers, flowing jumpsuits, amazing trench coats, bracelets, playful clutches, and her signature, voluminous dresses. Did you see those booties, and patterned clutches?! A-MA-ZING!

Do you see the pale blue, voluminous blouse with mirror detail pictured above? It is number one on my wish list for fall 2016! Talk about fabulous! Which pieces are your favorite from the collection?

Pamella Roland showed her fall/winter 2016 collection at New York Fashion Week on February 12, 2016 at Pier 59 Studios. I had the opportunity to go backstage before the show and check out the fabulous hairstyles being created by Ted Gibson using L’Oreal Professionnel hair care products. The hairstyles were sleek, sophisticated, and modern. Loved them!

The hairstyles were designed in line with Pamella Roland’s inspiration for her fall 2016 runway collection. In order to achieve this, Ted Gibson, Celebrity Stylist and Owner of Ted Gibson Salon stated: “This season we were inspired by modern architecture and the city of Tokyo. We wanted the models to look as if they had just traveled through Japan.”

I am in love with this timeless yet modern hairstyle; and it looked amazing with Pamella Roland’s fall 2016 collection! I loved being able to see the process from start to finish when I was backstage with L’Oreal Professionnel at Pamella Roland. This is an easy hairstyle to replicate in five easy steps using L’Oreal products.

Here is how you can get the Pamella Roland runway hairstyle at home! All you need to do is buy a fabulous headband, such as this one online here.

STEP 1: Before styling, slip headband on model (or yourself) and let it rest around the neck until use.

STEP 2: Use L’Oreal Professionnel Volume Envy extra mousse to dampen hair and begin to brush hair back into ponytail. Ponytail should sit on the occipital. Use bungee to secure.

STEP 3: Please headband on the head.

STEP 4: Apply L’Oreal Professionnel Volume Envy extra mousse to the tail of the ponytail and wrap hair into a bun. Secure with pins.

STEP 5: Complete style using L’Oreal Professionnel Lumi Controle wax and L’Oreal Professional Infinium 3 hairspray to control and polish hair.
