Dolce Vista at Dagny + Barstow

Casually elegant.

Perusing the racks at the Dagny + Barstow pop-up shop at 64 Gansevoort Street, we were lost in a sartorial reverie that transformed into a Dolce Vista when we noticed the look worn by co-owner Emily Titelman (pictured above). Emily donned an Aviu hand-beaded cardigan, a 10 Corso Colombo white t-shirt, J brand jeans, and Fiorentini and Baker boots.

Emily in the same ensemble but swapping the Aviu for a Swash bomber jacket!

Dolce Vista - Lincoln Center New York Fashion Week Gone Vintage

Simply chic.

We spotted this effortlessly stylish look outside the tents at Lincoln Center. Who would have guessed that this is a dress from the Salvation Army and a borrowed belt?

Improvd Spring 2012 Presentation at Lincoln Center New York Fashion Week

The air vibrated with anticipation as the room fell dark. Suddenly, blue light slashed violently through the obscurity and the Improvd presentation began.

Act I. An introduction to avant-garde couture.

The models emerged in expertly draped clothing constructed from high quality and beautifully hued material. 

 

Act II. Amplified avant-garde couture.

Bolder colors and basket-woven leather filled the room. Feminine allure redefined as simultaneously palpable yet imperceptible.

Act III. A new world.

Springtime bloomed with an unexpected and previously unknown beauty at the Improvd show.

Improvd can be found at Jessie James, a boutique located in NYC's West Village and in Hoboken. The boutique's knowledgeable staffers are extremely helpful and the clothing is carefully curated.

Katie Ermilio Presentation

 

Timeless design using sumptuous fabrics and candy colors. 

In fact, these designs are so alluring that men and women alike stopped in their tracks on the sidewalks to peer in and admire. We hope that Katie Ermilio, the granddaughter of Grace Kelly's personal clothier, continues to bring classic beauty with a hint of Monaco sparkle to her clothing.

 

In the crowd at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

 We admired headwear galore, bright colors, and vintage pieces paired with ombre hair and purple lipstick...

We tore at our clothes to mimic these deconstructed looks...



And we were inspired by color with this Tracy Reese top matched with purple harem pants.

Stay tuned for much more from Fashion Week to come! More photos available on StyleShifter's Facebook page.

Joy Cioci Spring/Summer 2012 - New York Fashion Week

Easy glamour was the mood at the Joy Cioci show last night, both in the crowd and on the stage. Our favorite creations were the silk chiffon blue ruffle gown and the silk crepe lilac wrap (both pictued above). Surrounded by these breezy pastels, we imagined ourselves donning these designs as the scent of flowers begins to fill the air.
