M.E.F. Style Report

Pioneer American designer at Pitti Uomo AW20/21 Telfar Clemens founded his eponymous brand in 2005. Born in Queens, New York, he spent part of his childhood in Liberia, before moving to the US with his parents. He began designing and making his own clothes while still in high school because he couldn’t find what he was looking for in stores. In 2003, the designer began creating his own collection of deconstructed and reconstructed garments which he sold in New York City at the Lower East Side and Soho boutiques, before launching his own 100 percent unisex fashion label, Telfar, in 2005, showing in downtown galleries and clubs. In 2017, he won the CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund award, and his clothes are now sold internationally at stores like Galleries Lafayette in Paris and Dover Street Market in London. Telfar’s AW20 collection shown in Florence was presented with creative director Babak Radboy and was in partnership with Slam Jam.  Checkout my Favorites off course ! ...

As you all know I attended NYFW Sept 5th -9th. My goals is always to offer my clients a true Fashion week experience and report on my favorite fashion shows. But London, Paris Milan Fashion Week has put me in fashion overload. I've been following my favorite fashion bloggers and binge-watching fashion shows on YouTube for 3 full weeks now. I'm exhausted! So, I took this weekend off to gather my thoughts and here we go. On September 7 th  , SON JUNG WAN debuted her luxurious Spring/Summer 2020 collection by telling the story of splendor meets retro with color, the collection highlighted the glamour of vintage wear in a modern twist. The collection featured embroidered dresses full of different layers of iridescent fabrics; a rose gold gown entwined with floral print, array of electric blue gowns, and a neon mint dress that screamed splendor. The fashion show was absolutely beautiful!

My journey to NYFW17 started on Thursday morning with a canceled flight  from Fort Lauderdale to Newark Airport because of the snow storm.  But as you know New York Fashion Week never stops.  "NO SNOW CAN STOP THE SHOWS! I knew that's so I waited until Friday and I was on another flight to NYFW17.  The schedule I created with my PR partner remain the same no  cancelation or changes.  So upon my arrival  I was off to my hotel to drop my bags off and I headed straight to the fashion shows. This year my company M.E.F. Produtions LLC had the honor of hosting seven students and two teachers from Norfolk State University  to NYFW17. The first show started at the Stewart Hotel and the rest is history. I will like to thank Poste Haste for all of our travel arrangements and Alphonso Reed PR for providing  an amazing fashion experience at the fashion shows.

    So I didn't go to the Couture shows in Paris, but I do have internet, Instagram , Twitter and access to some of the best stylists and bloggers in the world. And the one Couture house that screamed" I AM FASHION" in my opinion  has to be Dior Couture. I was blown away and love struck with all the different textures. I love textures and Dior give  me as much as I could handle.  The shapes were smart, chic and feminine.    See some of my favorite looks!
