THE 2020 MET GALA BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

Versión en Español al final

As an emerging fashion designer and someone who really loves fashion in general, my favorite event of all time have to be the MET GALA. This fantastic event is the perfect time for designers and celebrities to have the creative freedom to use their imagination and find the best look that can possibly fit the theme of each year. 

I usually visit each Costume Institute exhibition at least 3 times while the collection is being displayed. It is an opportunity to see and analyze designs from highly-recognized fashion designers from all times and try to get into their mindset of how they had constructed their work and how the designs are related to the selected theme every year. I genuinely love the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, and it has been a second home for me since I moved to NY.

THE BEAUTY OF A NEW RING FOR THE HOLIDAYS

The holidays are coming and everyone starts thinking about what to gift to their special ones, family, kids, friends, and co-workers. I recently received a beautiful ring from L'ATELIER EMMA &CHLOÉ and I realized that I should tell you more about my ring since many of you can get a nice high-quality piece of jewelry to gift for this coming holiday season.

THE COW PRINT TREND

The leopard print fever has faded a little, and there's a new print ruling the scene in the fashion world, I am talking about the cow print. This year the pretty black and white or white and brownish cow print had taken over, and everyone is using it and wearing it. Big brands like Burberry to online retailers like Asos are delivering the popular print that became the official "print trend" of 2019. In my opinion, I think it is adorable, pretty and I really like it.

NYC INSTAGRAM TOURIST GUIDE: Dumbo Manhattan Bridge

Dumbo, an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.

This young and very popular area with Belgian-block paved streets, waterfront parks, and artsy boutiques. Dumbo has so many great places to take photos that I think I would have to write about each one of them in different posts.

FERRAGAMO SS20 Brush Stroke Makeup Trend

Let's talk about the makeup trend that is gaining popularity in the beauty world, the brushstroke trend.

I have seen this makeup style popping on and off the fashion shows for at least four seasons, and now influencers and more makeup artists have been using it and creating fascinating and bold eye-looks around this trend.

At Salvatore Ferragamo, makeup artist Fara Homidi created this multicolored eyelook, which included colorful brushstrokes of bright red, electric teal blue, grass green, canary yellow, and a white pigment for a color-blocked effect. She got inspired by Venetian glass, and I wanted to recreate this look for all of you and explain how I achieve a similar graphic eye look with the brushstroke trend.
I hope you like it, and please tag Fara and me when you create your Ferragamo Eye-look.
Thank you.

NYC INSTAGRAM PHOTO GUIDE: The Oculus

Today I want to show another excellent location in New York for everyone looking to take amazing photos for Instagram. Let's talk a little about THE OCULUS, this building is huge, really beautiful and a perfect place to play with the perspective in your photographs. The ceiling steals all the attention due to its unique shape and how it allows the light to illuminate the interior of the building spectacularly.

Can you believe that this impressive place is a shopping mall, a train station with many train lines, and an award-winning architectural structure?

NYFW TREND FORECASTING SS20

New York Fashion Week is always an exciting time for designers, models, fashion lovers, press, and clients. To be able to be part of fashion week is an excellent experience for anyone!. This year I was able to watch some shows and even though when I didn't present an official new collection for my brand this season, I have been analyzing the market and every silhouette from acclaimed designers' looks.

Today I want to bring you 5 of the trends that I believe would be very important for the months ahead. I wanted to focus first on NYFW, but I have seen these trends during London, Milan, and Paris as well. This assures me that I am correct, and we need to pay attention to these trends.

La Semana de la Moda de Nueva York siempre es un momento emocionante para diseñadores, modelos, amantes de la moda, la prensa y los clientes. ¡Ser parte de la semana de la moda es una experiencia excelente para todos!
