The iconic brand, Custo Barcelona stayed true to its trademark mixed media high quality print in the recently revealed FW24 collection during NYFW. The stylish sporty and youthful tailored ensemble detailed piping and lace trims with some featuring vivid prints, flowing exaggerated silk/satin bell sleeves, giving the overall collection an uplifting ambiance, as supposed to the usual dark tones and heavy fabrics associated with fall winter styles.

It’s safe to say, some of the pieces echos the upcoming holiday season party trends in the fall, with fringes, sparkling sequin numbers coupled with knee high boots. If this is anything to go by, we’re definitely in for a treat during this upcoming fall winter season!

Western themed fashion seems to be all the rave now, thanks to the recent menswear collection by Pharrell Williams for Louis Vuitton, which debuted a few days ago in Paris. Private Policy just seconded the motion today with the unveiling of their FW 24 collection in NYC. Obviously, most of these collections are planned months in advance. The possibility of two different designers, having like minded concepts in a given season is not uncommon. Arguably two different styles and esthetics, it’s safe to say we’re definitely in the cowboy garb era.

The models strutted down the hay covered barn like runway in stylish tailored western cuts accompanied by bejeweled cowboy hats, western boots and edgy futuristic eyewears with strong AI influence. A very well updated western style that’ll have even the most jaded fashion mavens coveting an ensemble or two from the presentation, which also included edgy street wears, seductive silhouettes in shorts, skirts and bias cut dresses. Some of which are genderless options and for all ages.

An undeniable fun was had by all… including our editor Tinu, who just happened to turn up wearing the iconic suit also spotted on the models!

Top tier stylist and fashion mavens alike need to look no further than Kevan Hall’s SS24 collection for red carpet and entrance making numbers! The critically acclaimed celebrity designer’s show, presentation style yesterday hackened back to the glorious days of haute couture fashion shows, to a time when presentations were intimate and visibly close to the seated clients. To a point where you could literally see the intricate stitching and detailing upclose as the graceful and elegant models walked by. Think Parisienne fashion salons, stately rooms, soft background music, et.al.

Kevan Hall had the full support of other world renowned designers in attendance, such as the Byron Lars and Aaron Potts, and the legendary actor and his beloved brother Vondie Curtis-Hall.

The collection, featuring luxurious brocade, delicate French lace, Dutch satin, free flowing silks and chiffon, was elegant, chic and stupendous! Exceptionally and effortlessly delivered by very graceful and poised fashion swan lake like models, which makes it all the more appealing and alluring.
