New York Fashion Week Nicholas K Fall/Winter 2013

Yours truly was lucky enough to score a front row seat to the Nicholas K fashion show at Lincoln Center. Nicholas K opened up Fall/Winter 2013 MBFW with their amazing line. The sibling team Nicholas Kunz and Christopher Kunz are known for their loose fitting and multi-layered clothing. For fall they featured rich wool blends, light flowing knits, chunky plush sweaters, glacier hued plaids, angular cuts, and utilitarian closures.

The brand has grown greatly since its beginning in 2003, first with the menswear line in 2005. They now sell the Nicholas K collection in over 120 stores worldwide.  Nicholas K defines layering with their asymmetrical tailoring and full on layering with the softest of fabrics. I can't wait to rock their look come September!

Congrats to the Nicholas K team, very well done!

Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week (MBFW) 2013 Kicks Off...

Get your pout on fashionistas, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week (MBFW) has offically started in New York City. It's that time of the year again when the Fall 2013 collections strut down the runway, and the creme de la creme of the fashion world witness it.

Over 100,000 guests will walk through Lincoln Center, while millions of fashion followers tune in around the world to get a glimpse of the shows and the stars. MBFW will kick off on Wednesday, February 6th with a special ribbon ceremony at the amfAR New York Gala at Cipriani Wall Street.

It's a year of comebacks at Lincoln Center. After six years off the runway, Kenneth Cole makes his return for Fall this Thursday taking center stage on opening night of fashion week.  The second comeback is Justin Timberlake! He wanted to "bring sexy back" and he will. JT is returning to the airwaves collaborating with Tom Ford for "Suits and Tie" - Ford designed his album cover look and video ensembles.

It's going to be a busy week for fashion & mommy bloggers, 5thandJane, with every morning the looming question "What am I going to wear today?", "How am I going to rock this outfit in this weather?", and "How can I be in two places at once?". But who can complain when there are fashion shows and parties to attend. With an average of 12 shows a day, there is a lot of fashion to see.

There will be a first for fashion week with Project RunwaySeason 11 returning with a twist that throws 16 eager designers into a panic when they discover they will be participating in the series' first ever Team Edition. Kate Spade is celebrating an important milestone with her 20th year, and will throw a "Happy Birthday" bash with a fashion week party.

MBFW will include NICHOLAS K, BCBGMAXAZRIA, RICHARD CHAI LOVE and RICHARD CHAI MEN’S, TIMO WEILAND WOMEN’S, TADASHI SHOJI, SERGIO DAVILA, CONCEPT KOREA, CZAR BY CESAR GALINDO, CARMEN MARC VALVO, NOON BY NOOR, NAUTICA, REBECCA MINKOFF, NICOLE MILLER, ACADEMY OF ART UNIVERSITY, PARKCHOONMOO, RUFFIAN, LACOSTE, JILL STUART, SON JUNG WAN, MARA HOFFMAN, HERVÉ LÉGER BY MAX AZRIA, KATYA LEONOVICH, MONIQUE LHUILLIER, VENEXIANA, LELA ROSE, TRACY REESE, CUSTO BARCELONA, DIANE VON FURSTENBERG, JOANNA MASTROIANNI, VIVIENNE TAM, RALPH RUCCI, EMERSON BY JACKIE FRASER-SWAN, ICB BY PRABAL GURUNG, CAROLINA HERRERA, PAMELLA ROLAND, KAUFMANFRANCO, BETSEY JOHNSON, REEM ACRA, BADGLEY MISCHKA, VERA WANG, JENNY PACKHAM, NAEEM KHAN, DENNIS BASSO, VANTAN TOKYO, BIBHU MOHAPATRA, MICHAEL KORS, NANETTE LEPORE, RACHEL ZOE, J. MENDEL, MILLY BY MICHELLE SMITH, FALGUNI AND SHANE PEACOCK, ANNA SUI, ZANG TOI and B MICHAEL AMERICA - what a mouthful...

But there's no better way to end fashion week with Valentine's Day and two of my favorite men, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. 

Here's to an amazing week of fashion, parties, and air kisses!

'The In-Betweens'

Two friends, Clancy O'Connor and Lyndsay Becker have created a hilarious web series called "The In-Betweens" about their NYC life. Lyndsay is a struggling actress and Clancy is an out of work, trust funder, who endearingly takes care of his bestfriend.

Clancy appeared in HBO's 'John Adams,' NBC's Smash' and soon-to-be released 'Kill Your Darlings' starring Daniel Radcliffe.

Check out the Trailer: www.in-betweens.tv and Episode 1 of The In-Betweens: http://vimeo.com/47476660 .

The screening party is during Fashion Week at the Caufield in NYC (119 E 27th Street) on Monday, Feb. 11th at 7pm & you are all invited. 

I was lucky enough to get an early preview of the full series. My favorite episode is when Lyndsay decides to have a baby, Clancy suggests carrying around a bag of flour for a week to see how well she cares for the flour. It did burn me up that she used a beautiful McQueen scarf to wrap the bag of flour, but besides that it was too funny. After the week, the bag was dropped, stepped on, wet and finally no longer, so Lyndsay decided to put motherhood on hold. Good idea. Much more to see on Feb 11th! xoxo
