M.E.F. Style Report

 On February 11th, Romeo Hunte New York presented the Fall/Winter 18' collection during a runway show at The Standard, High Line. The lines were long  to get in the show and its was raining, but so worth it. I was so impressed  with as  many as 29 models of African American ethnicity or decent strutted down the runway in shearling, fox furs, mixed fur with patchwork, PVC, and reversible raincoats, cropped jackets. The space was intimate but for a reason not one detail went unnoticed. The guests  300 editors, influencers , bloggers and fashionista watched this amazing parade. Romeo Hunte was one of my favorite show this season, j ob well done definitely a brand to watch.

Dapper Dan was high fashion in the 80's every rapper, fl y girl and guy had a custom jacket, short set or suit from t he king of Urban Fashion. Dapper Dan  born Daniel Day opened his original Harlem boutique in 1982. He sold custom-made designer clothing to celebrities such as Mike Tyson, LL Cool J and Eric B. and Rakim and p retty much every rapper for over a decade. The new Gucci store will offer made-to-order pieces designed by Dapper Dan in custom measurements. The is everything for Urban fashion, he stand a long as a designer to compete with one of the largest luxury brand and win in the end. I'm so proud of Mr. Dapper Dan, I never met him or was able to wear his custom clothing but I've always been a fan. You are truly a FASHION LION!  You make us PROUD! Pictures courtesy of Google

Let me give you some reason, 1. you show just enough leg ( upper thigh is a bit to much leg) 2. Its both causal or dressy 3.A classic style 4. Every brand has a walking short 5.You can carry your wallet and keys with ease 6. I just love them! Off course I like what I like, but you know what's best for you just please, NO Short Shorts !

Rebecca Minkoff is one of those designer that's been around for years , but your just didn't know.  In 2001 Rebecca designed a version of the “I Love New York” t-shirt as part of a five-piece capsule collection, that appeared on The Tonight Show and became an overnight success. Today, Rebecca Minkoff has developed into a global lifestyle brand with a wide range of accessories, footwear, apparel, handbags and jewelry as well as men’s leather goods under the label Ben Minkoff.   Fall 2015 is looking sexy and playful. I love the color palette for this collection blues, brown, orange ,burgundy and off course the greys black and white. Fall 2015 is about making a statement, this collection is subtle but impactful . Take a look at my favorites.           You and find Rebecca Minkoff in Sak's Fifth Ave, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales &Neiman Marcus

Happy Men' Wear Monday!   The Three Piece Suit has been trending for a few years now. I love this shift of more men getting dress up in suits. Suits are no longer for funerals, weddings and interviews it can be your everyday look casual or formal. Guys you have more options now , so can get dress up and still look and feel like themselves. The Three Piece Suit is for a men that can wear the suit not the suit wearing him. I say this because you have three major items the blazer, vest and slacks. This look can easily swallow you up. So you have to be confident and find the right suit to fit your style. Always stay true to yourself try colors can textures you may find your inner " Fashion Lion".             Photos courtesy of  Pinterest and GQ Magazine.
