Hernan Lander Fall/Winter 2010

I must admit, I love supporting young hispanic entrepreneurs, I do! So, I must also be honest is saying that what made me want to learn more about this young designer is the fact that he is Dominican.

With that said, I'm so glad I went to see Hernan Lander's fall/winter 2010 presentation this past Friday, February 12th (I'll keep this brief because I'm totally late for work). He did not disappoint, I absolutely love the collection. My favorite piece is a white blouse he paired with a fantastic jacket and skirt. There is a lot of black in this collection, but it's fine with me; I don't mind the black at all and it's a fall/winter collection.

I really think Hernan Lander is off to a good start and I would love to see more of the young designer in the future.

New York Fashion Week 2010

Today is the first day of New York Fashion Week. Yesterday's snow storm didn't stop the masses from beginning their fashion week endevors. Twitter was a buzz yesterday -- difficulty wearing stilletos, many wardrobe changes, OH NO! can't get to NYC - but that didn't stop many from going out and looking fab trading in stilletos for rain boots and beautiful coats for parkas.



Here are some images from Women's Mafia fashion Show on Tuesday, February 9th featuring designers Jonathan Kayne, Shauntele, and Ardistia.

On a sad note, The Daily Mail is reporting that Alexander McQueen committed suicide last night. A source at McQueen's office confirmed the suicide saying "It's a tragic loss."

And so another season starts, while a fashion icon's life ends. The show must go on............
