FINALLY FENDI!

FENDI SPRING 2013 BY KARL LAGERFELDThe FENDISpring 2013 campaign is beautiful!  It's great to see one of Rome's premiere houses (now part of LVMH) shining bright this season.   So many times the collection sits in the shadow of that other project of designer Karl Lagerfeld.. you know.. a little company called CHANEL!   The French house of all things Couture is a global phenomenon, and Karl's creative process clearly starts onRue Cambon and eventually trickles over to Rome. 

FENDI SPRING 2013 BY KARL LAGERFELD1973 Lagerfeld started his design collaboration with the FENDI sisters.  Forty years later (Amazing!!), Karl maintains the collaboration with this Roman house of Luxury fashion.   Too many times though, FENDI can feel like CHANEL lite.  If CHANEL has wide belts, then FENDI has wide belts.   Bag in a bag this year at CHANEL?  Then it's bag in a bag next year at FENDI.  To be fair, designers all over the world copy Karl's designs at CHANEL.  I guess it makes sense Karl does it himself!FENDI - 2JOUR MEDIUM SATCHEL - $2,890.00

It's not a mystery, Karl Lagerfeld's rebirth of CHANEL in 1983 would ultimately change the face of the fashion world.  Karl's vision of COCO CHANEL's legacy achieved a level of success that surprised everyone in the industry.   It also was not an overnight game changer.   In the nineties, CHANEL had started it's own stable of brands a la LVMH or PPR (Soon to be Kering).   CHANEL financially backed the NY based designer Isaac Mizrahi, bought the legendary British game-hunting gunmaker  Holland & Holland,  acquired designer bathing suit company ERES, and FENDI BAGUETTE - SPRING 2013 - $2,190.00even planned a launch of a lower priced collection for CHANEL-aptly named BEIGE.  It did not come to fruition.   Then came the birth of the handbag obsession.  Luxury brands across the world quickly realized the growing potential for millions of new clients that could aspire to be clients of the most exclusive brands in the world via a handbag.   The bags served a dual purpose, 1) spreading the brands fame and 2) garnering huge profits at the same time.   All the other projects fell by the way side and CHANEL became the worlds ultimate luxury fashion brand.  Eres remains a star in the CHANEL universe.

FENDI spring 2013 is graphic, modern, and colorful.  While I'm often critical of Karl's shoulders at CHANEL (round and challenging) - at Fendi they are crisp and flattering.  The use of feathers and fur and color is exotic and just beautiful.   The colorful FENDI TIMEPIECES are unique - at a time when watches are all blending in.CHANEL SPRING 2013 BY KARL LAGERFELD - FASHION THERAPY SESSION? FILL IN THE BLANK - "WHY DID I ...."

The CHANEL campaign is always beautiful.  This season it seems the CHANEL girl is in Japan.  One shot even looks as if we are in on a Japanese therapy session.   Think Tatami mats instead of a Chesterfield Sofa!     Well.. in keeping with a therapy session - I want you to think about what we discussed and how it makes you feel - that's all the time we have for today!

FERRAGAMO FALL FASHION EXPLOSION!

SALVATORE FERRAGAMO FALL 2009Just in time for the Fall Fashion harvest, the Ferragamo Boutique near you is bursting with rich color in hot stilettos, luxurious leather bags, and warm and cozy knits!

Deep dark burgundy, plum, and chocolate brown set the stage for this cornucopia of fall colors.   You have undoubtedly seen images from the ad campaign, as it is one of the strongest in the industry this season. FERRAGAMO STILETTOS - FALL 2009

Fashion magazines have also been chock full of editorial picks from the red hot accessories!  The drop dead gorgeous stilettos are creating a sensation in the boutiques all over the world.   Many styles have sold out, but more continue to arrive in stores through October.

I'm thrilled to be hosting special events at Ferragamo boutiques around the country this season.  Please join me at one of our Fall celebrations.   SALVATORE FERRAGAMO FALL 2009 I'll be in the boutiques meeting with customers and giving direction to plan your fall wardrobe.    We will also have a special selection of the Resort collection on hand to preview.    This is a great way to pick up the hottest looks for now,  and also see what will be coming this holiday season.

Our first event coincided with 'Fashion's Night Out" at the Americana Manhasset- luxury retail collection.   The Americana branded their own "Style On The Go", and really made the night into a luxury event.   The effect of the decor and setting was comparable to the tents at Fashion Week in Bryant Park.   The Americana invited their best customers to an exclusive preview of the top picks of the biggest names in Fashion.      A very select crowd previewed designs from Ferragamo, Fendi, Hermes, etc! JASON JOBSON & PAM POLESTINO IN FERRAGAMO

The crowd really dressed for the occasion!   One beauty who turned heads all night in her Ferragamo jersey dress was Pam Polestino.   Ms. Polestino rocked this dress with over the knee black leather boots and her short and sculpted hair!  Of course you don't look like that without hard work.    Pam is a personal trainer based in Roselyn, New York.    If you are in the tri-state area, she is worth the trip.   Click on Equinox to get information on the club and to contact Pam. SF DOLMAN SLEEVE WOOL DRESS & RUCHED LEATHER BAG

The house of Salvatore Ferragamo has been a leader in luxury fashion for decades, having celebrated it's 80th anniversary last year.    Mr. Ferragamo invented the concept of designer shoes, and his legacy is closely guarded by his surviving wife, children, and grandchildren.   The family has grown the company into a luxury fashion destination.   Unlike many other fashion companies today, Ferragamo has stayed true to it's roots and still produces every product in Italy.    The quality speaks for itself and a legion of loyal Ferragamo customers the world over are a testament to the product.   With over 550 boutiques globally, the staggering size of this house trumps the production capabilities of many designer brands.EQUESTRIAN DETAILS IN RICH, SUPPLE LEATHER
