NYFW: Jason Wu, Kate Spade, Jenni Kayne, Nonoo, Rebecca Minkoff, Mara Hoffmann, Lacoste

For those not in the know, each NYFW I do a run down of all the shows featuring modest-style clothing that you or I would [theoretically] wear, while still highlighting the fashion trends for the upcoming season. This coming spring is proving to be a bit tricky in that modesty is not nearly as prevalent as it was in past shows. Understandable since Spring does tend to be the more revealing of the two main season shows. I have ot say that I am in L-O-V-E with Nonoo, whoever they are. Notice their use of color, also embraced by Mara Hoffmann and Kate Spade

NYFW Spring 2014: Not Your Grandma's Fashion Week...OK, Well Maybe A Little

NYFW happened to coincide with the holiest of holidays for the Hebrews this year so my posts had to be postponed until now. My apologies, OAKies. I did however spend this holiday with my grandfather, which is kind of the perfect segue into the apparent theme of some the shows for Spring 2014-- Grandma. Viewers take note, shiny pastels were abundant, as were severely oversized moo-moo looking things; much of Prabal Gurungs show made me nostalgic for my Grandma down in Florida by the pool, but in a good way. Fear not younger generation, there were graphic geometric prints aplenty as well as a plethora of clean lines and colorful youthful looks. More so than last year, this Spring will bring a lot more revealing clothing so we modest ladies will just have to make it work.
