Hey Babes!
So, yes New York Fashion Week has arrived! It started this past Thursday February 11th and will be until February 18! I have been and will be attending many of the shows and I will have your Fab Fashion Week Access here! Get ready for some great fashion!!!
I wanted to start out with the fashion and style that I saw off the runway!
My Fab Style Spottings!
At the Jenni Kayne Presentation:
1. Nicole and Bria Murphy
I ran into Nicole and Bria Murphy while at the Jenni Kayne Presentation on Friday. I couldn’t help but fall in love with their chic and sexy style! Both mother and daughter looked amazing from head to toe! Nicole looked fab in her leather tights with matching leather boots and chic black coat. Bria killed it out in a pair of ripped black jeans, ankle boots and a fab gray coat. I love how their style compliments one another. Definitely the hottest mother-daughter duo I’ve seen! Work it, ladies!!
Love it!
At the Loden Dager Show:
2. Fab Winter Hats
Jovana, a jewelry designer for Givenchy, rocked a chic fur hat!
Katherine from Marc Jacobs wore a creative brown look!
Becca, who also works at Marc Jacobs, looked cozy and fab in this furry gray hat!
Thanks for the Fab Hats, chicas!
5. Chioma
I ran into Chioma after the show and had to take a pic of her awesome ensemble! So cozy! Very stylized, love the entire look! Especially the hat! After chatting with Chioma I found out she was Nigerian (I could also tell from her name!) and we are also from the same tribe in Nigeria: the Ibo tribe. Very cool! Chioma works for Fader Magazine. Thanks for the look, sis!
4. Abdoul Diallo
Abdoul Diallo and I met when I recognized he used an African wrapper as a scarf. Being Nigerian I know that wrappers are traditionally tied around the waist of women and also men. So I was amazed to see how Abdoul utilized it as a scarf! So creative! Being an assistant stylist for Fader Magazine, this guy definitely knows his fashion! Abdoul said his wrapper scarf is his trademark. Abdoul is known to wear different cultural scarves to accentuate his outfit. When I asked him about how he got the idea, he said: “Being African, I would always see wrappers lying around so I decided to use it!” Abdoul also added, ” It’s not a style thing for me, its more of a personal thing.” Right on! Love that! I am a true believer in the importance of personal style. Thanks Abdoul for this fly look!
Love how this entire outfit is put together! Check out the baseball jacket under the blazer!
Love the shoes! Fab color!
And for more on the importance of personal style, watch my YouTube Video on the topic!
At Byant Park Tents
5. Erica Lasan
I ran into my old friend talented singer/songwriter/actress Erica Lasan while at the tents and her outfit was Amazing! I love how I saw another traditional African wrapper look with a modern twist. Like Abdoul (above) Erica wore a cultural wrapper made into a dress. Fab! And I love how she tied in the colors of her dress with her tights and shoes! Fab squared! : ) We chatted, caught up and of course, took pics : )
