Get Out of Your Box to Explore Fashion

Posted on October 10, 2012 by Clothing Industry Guide

As I have experienced today, it is important to get out of your box to explore fashion.  If you are wondering what I mean by this, just be patient.  I am about to explain… Often, I find myself typing away in my office.  I write about fashion and other topics of interest.  However, as I sit in my box of an office, I am not out exploring.  I realize that it is often better to physically explore then to simply let my mind (and the internet) explore for me.

Today I decided to be a bit like Forest (Forest Gump).  I went for a walk.  And I walked, and I walked, and I walked.  Fortunately, for me, I am actually in New York City today.  I was not walking down a dirt road in the middle of nowhere (which I would not mind doing tomorrow).  Anyway, because I was in NYC, every block provided a new fashion scene.  I saw a women struggling as she tried to walk in high heels that were apparently too high for her to handle.  I saw tourists with a multitude of fashion looks.  Obviously, I also viewed many native New Yorkers, sporting a variety of styles.  All in all, my walk was very enlightening.  I learned more about fashion today then I have in several months of reading fashion blog posts and fashion news articles.

It was a wonderful time to get out of my box.  If you have not recently went exploring, I strongly suggest you do so.  Hey, you never know.  Maybe we will bump into one another on our adventures.

If you want to know all that you can about fashion, you should most definitely get out of your box to explore fashion.  Tell us about your adventures and the style that you witness.

Christopher Collins Collection 2012

Posted on October 10, 2012 by Clothing Industry Guide

Known for his premium line of women’s sportswear, Project Runway’s Season 8 finalist, Christopher Collins is a perfect blend of raw talent, sincere charisma and ambitious detail, which is found in every one of his pieces of his self-named line, Christopher Collins™. Prior to national recognition as a Season 8 Project Runway contestant, Christopher Collins was already recognized as an emerging designer- noted as someone to watch.

Launched in 2008 with best friend and Chief Managing Director, Erica Tanamachi, the collection of fine silks, and tailored Elizabethan collars has gained immediate exposure. Made of the upmost quality, Christopher Collins™ breathes luxury, high fashion and femininity. The line consists of office to evening attire with fall staples including a lambswool Storm Long Cloud Coat that fits luxuriously like a sweater and ties in the front. The French knit Patchwork Vest Tunic and Buffalo Vest are inviting with comfort and convey a Bohemian look with intricate detail, and the Italian wool Slotted Sleeve Cape & Rouched Sleeve Blazer suavely finish off an ensemble for the business girl on the run. The core pieces perfectly complete every woman’s wardrobe with a go-to Wrap Dress made of Ponte, an Italian knitted Tie Top to accompany the denim Trouser, and an essential LBD that every fashionista needs. The silhouettes are painted in dramatic fall shades of Sienna, Autumn, Brown, Navy, Grey and Black with a common theme of suede, silk, chiffon, and jersey accents seen throughout. The brand incorporates its entire palette of colors and textures amongst the collection and has even leaped one step ahead stretching its leverage to design one-of-a kind exclusive pieces for high profile clients.

“Christopher Collins is redefining American Sportswear,” Project Runway’s Tim Gunn once said, and Collins continues on to fulfill this legacy as he designs fashion forward pieces crafted from fine fabrics from Italy, France and Japan with a fit that rivals the greatest in the industry. With over ten years of fashion experience under his belt, Collins is confident “everything played out exactly the way it should have.” After his elimination on the show in 2010, Collins says, “I came home to a business, a collection, and everything I’ve already got going for me. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Not even down to going one more challenge.”

Christopher Collins™ is sold at Neiman Marcus as well as hundreds of boutiques throughout the United States and Canada and there are plans to launch an e-commerce site in January 2013 ($165-$640).

Baltimore Fashion Week Reducing Carbon Footprint

Posted on October 8, 2012 by Clothing Industry Guide

In 2008 and 2009, the runway schedule for Baltimore Fashion Week (BFW) included eco-inspired fashions. The 2013 runway schedule will re-introduce eco-friendly/recyclable designer inspired looks to BFW. BFW is returning to its former production phases eco-friendly fashion inspired collections.

In preparation for Second Star Designs‘  runway participation dual collection, Second Star Designs will receive sponsorship from artisans to help bring its ideas to life. Harmony Art Organics is the primary sponsor of the certified organic cotton fabrics to be used in Second Star Designs’ eco-art-wear collection for adults. Returning for BFW2013 will be Riley Blake Designs, providing organic materials for the introduction of its line called “B.F.F. [Biologically Friendly Forever]” clothing for kids.

“Here, at Second Star Designs, eco-fashion is equally important to us, and also for the planet. We work hard to integrate our personal beliefs into our company’s mission. When it’s time to leave, make sure that what you leave behind is better than what you originally found. To that end, our 2013 children and adult clothing lines will be hand-crafted using only refashioned or certified organic materials. We are proud to have these two textile manufacturers as an integral part of the Second Star family. Being ecologically friendly is not simply a catch phrase or a passing fad, it’s a fashion initiative trending its way into the hearts of our planet’s people and way of life … an initiative of which Second Star is proud to be a part,” stated Caryn Dougherty, Creative Person In-charge of Second Star Designs.

Second Star Designs is the first eco-inspired designer to register for BFW2013.

“The eco-friendly fashions worked for us in 2008 and 2009. I have spent the last few weeks reviewing what has worked and what did not work for this event. Moving into our 6th year, I learned that in order for an event of this caliber to move to the next level, I had to revisit and examine what truly got us to this point. I truly do not see anything wrong in looking back in the past as long as you learn from it and it moves you forward,” stated Nixon.

BFW2013 will be held in the Preakness Ballroom at the Hilton Baltimore North/Pikesville, 1726 Reisterstown Road, Pikesville, Maryland 21208 – August 8 – 11, 2013. For more information about BFW visit the website: www.baltimore-fashionweek.com.
