NY Fashion Week Review #1

For my first fashion week review I chose Marc Jacob’s fall 2020 show that happened on 12 February.

When I think about NY fashion week I imagine the models or some celebrities walking on the stage to show the audience their outfits. However, Marc Jacob’s show changed my idea of how the showcase should look. He made art from the runway. Models were not only walking, but they were also dancing, singing, and even acting on the podium. The audience could not only observe trends of clothes but also enjoy the overall performance.

Some people would argue with me and say that the show was too chaotic, models were walking fast on different sides and it was even hard to distinguish the theme of the show. Probably this chaos on the stage was an effort to demonstrate the New York city’s chaos in the city where everyone in a rush but still look good to fit in New York’s style.

However, despite the elegant subtext in Marc Jacob’s style, I believe that the designer’s overall theme was romantic tone because it seems that Jacobs was assuming the less is more.

The calm color palette of clothes, romantic shoes, which are mostly pumps, simple dresses, and baggy jackets that reminds the 1950’s style, demonstrate the overall look of this collection.

There were not a lot of accessories on models, and it also might be the part of the chosen theme ‘the less is more’ that makes this collection looks more romantic.

Most of the outfits on this show look standard without any decor or drawing but at the same time, it looks elegant and accordingly, it would be easy to find this collection similar to some other designer’s collections at this point. Moreover, some looks on Jacob’s runway might remind of Stephen Sprouse’s design (the picture below).

Marc Jacobs is more renewed for his “grunge” collection that got him fired but made his name recognizable. He shook the fashion world with his grunge collection that was already in the past. However, today it’s hard to still see this grunge style in his new collections.

Overall, I guess the designer’s question for this show is “can we live our lives in the clothes we buy?”. Everyone will answer this question differently because every person will have different opinions and experiences about both, the overall fashion show and the style that Marc Jacobs demonstrated.

2020 Oskars Red Carpet Fashion

The Academy Awards ceremony is the important event for many celebrities because on this ceremony they have an opportunity to get the Oscar for they hard work or just impress other people and celebrities with their unique outfits and styles. For the people who are interested in fashion the Oscar ceremony is big event too because there are many examples of different styles and ways of wearing some type of clothes that might help some people to be more advanced in fashion.

Let’s take a look at the most memorable Oscars red carpet arrivals. I want to talk about Billie Eilish outfit because I think her overall look was catchy since it consisted of the small details that made her fit so complete. Billie Eilish decided to wear an oversized white tweed Chanel jacket and pants. She stayed to her true personality because most of the time you can see Billie in some oversized outfits and for the Oscar ceremony she decided to wear something casual for her but memorable because of some other details that definitely approached her look.

First of all, oversized clothes are comfortable and casual but this jacket and pants look even more cozy because of the soft material. This outfit could look completely informal but for instance the Chanel logo and the big chain on her neck look balanced together. Another big and very long detail that seems flashy are the nails of the young celebrity. Basically, some other details such as dyed neon green and black hair color, gloves, and big rings fit her own style and her memorable personality.

For me it seemed that every other outfit on Academy Awards ceremony were similar with elegant long dress for women and traditional black suit for men. However, I highlighted some stunning looks that celebrities decided to wear for after-party Oscars.

Hailey Bieber attended the red-carpet event in stunning Versace sheer gown made with patterned lace. The criss-cross design and the skirt was covered in speckled squares. Swarowski crystals also made her look gracefully. She completed the look with platform sandals and jewels from Tiffany & Co.

My First Blog Post

Pay Attention to Detail

Hello everyone, this is the first post on my new blog. On my blog I want to focus more on small details that eventually create a whole image of the person’s style. There was a time when people had a small closet with small choice of additional things and because of that it was harder for people to shoe their own style that could differ from others. Time has change, but sometimes people don’t know how apply some detail in their outfits or add them too much. My blog might be helpful for some people to understand better how to create their own looks just by adding some small stuff. These details might be clothing, accessories, hairstyle and even makeup. Since I am international student, I also would like to include in my blogs some comparisons of an American and Russian styles and trends. If you are interested in small details that make overall look and would find fascinating to learn more about other cultures styles, this blog is for you!

Every person has a desire to look good and feel accepted in society. Through the time people took to fashion in a big way. We started experiment different looks and textures. The word fashion might bring completely different thoughts for different individuals. I find fashion increasingly important part of our lives because through fashion people can express themselves. I personally pay a lot of attention to garments and accessories that persons wear because it says a lot about people’s personalities. Moreover, you can identify their lifestyle, religion, and profession.

It is interesting for me to learn and write about my observations on some famous people as an example of how details might change whole look. I hope some people will find it interesting too and will subscribe and follow my blogs!
