Open Letter to : American Fashion Leaders

Dear American Fashion Leaders,
 
As the years go by I've grown to appreciate you more and more each day!  Designers  come and go but you remain true to fashion. You all have great success stories but your story didn't make you great!  Perfecting your talents made  you great and successful! As we approach New York Fashion week in less than 30 days . I just wanted to reflect on the past , lets go back 15 years. In 2000, New York Fashion Week wasn't about stars, paparazzi, after parties bloggers and fashionista.  Fashion Week was about fashion!
 
I was new to New York back then and I had the privilege of  working across the street from Bryant Park. As a student of fashion I knew what was going on in the tents. The rest of the world was kind of clueless. There  were some  commotion in and around the city but not  like now, these days its like Fashion Super Bowl . Buyers, editors, fashion leaders in the retail world sat in the front row.  PR agencies worked their ass off to fill the rest of those  seats in those tents. "How do I know? Well, during my lunch break & after work I would walk across the street to Bryant Park and watch the shows. I looked like I belong there,  and only fashion people knew what was going on in those tents so I was in. I meet a lot of PR assistants and they got me in  a lot of shows!!!. Fast forward 2015 I'm on my way back to New York  City for Fashion Week.  Its been 9 years since my last Fashion Week in New York City. I see the pictures and I follow all  my favorite bloggers and editors for play by play coverage. But this year I will be there and I feel like I'm learning how to walk again! I know I'm going to see collections I never heard off, and the city will be full with local, national and international blogger, fashionista, Stylists, It girls, Socialites , Editors, Celebrities and Athletes. But I just  hope I get to  see some amazing Fashion! ......Please!
 
 
sincerely,
M.E.F. Style Report!

Happy Men's Wear Monday!   I hope you all had a great weekend. Now back to business "Yes, Ties again!" Not just your average solid colors, or polka dots and the traditional paisley ties. Let open our minds to Floral print Ties! "Come on guys you can wear floral print! I know we just met but I know you are man enough to wear a floral print here and there every now and then right ?   Let's just say I'm right! One because I love menswear and two because I always want you to look your best. Floral ties are a great option to add a little newness or swag to your wardrobe. I will admit floral prints are not for every man , but you are not every man .   Floral Ties are not so much a new trend, its commonly seen wore by groomsmen in a wedding party. But forget the Wedding Party. What about to work, on a date, or with jeans?  You know at any event you will probably be the only one with a Floral Tie,so try it out and see what kind of reaction you get. If I

Fashion Lion:R&B singer Monica Brown

This Fashion Lion is for all my R&B fans, you can not talk about style and fashion without the mention of  Monica . I'm a little bit older than Monica but I feel like I grew up with her. She is always dressed in the later designer fashions, but never following trends. The one thing I admire about Monica is her sense of  style and how confident she is in her own skin. She is a Fashion Lion and role model to many and this Fashion Lion take her position seriously. Monica is a mother of three beautiful children, wife, artist and businesswomen. When it comes to style she is always a Fashion Lion. We love Monica Brown at M.E.F. Style Report , we secretly want her to start her own apparel line! Why not? Check out some of our favorite looks.
