If
there's any one designer I absolutely LOVE... it's the most
Beautiful and and Classic
Carolina Herrera
Carolina Herrera and Carolina Adriana Herrera by Alexi Lubomirski -
Before her show, Mrs. Herrera shares what she's watching, reading and loving at the moment (could there be a trend towards the 20s and Cafe Society?)
A Book: "I'm reading several books right now, including The Paris Wife by Paul McLain. The book tells the story of Hadley Richardson, Ernest Hemingway's first wife and is based in the 20s, which is a fascinating era. I am also reading Heart of the Night and The Coffee House.
A Movie: "The last movie I saw I loved was Midnight in Paris. Woody Allen did a fantastic job".
A Cafe: "At the moment, I love The Lambs Club in New York for lunch". I don't have a favorite cafe in the world because I seem ti have one in every country I visit.
When
asked to described the aesthetic of her very first collection, in 1981,
Carolina Herrera replied, “It’s my own style.” Decades later, that description
still holds true. So what is Herrera's own personal look? Refined and
international. it is perhaps best described as "ladylike" although
tailoring plays a large role too. "I prefer clothes that are simple, well
cut, but with one major extravagance", she told Vogue in 1987.
"Something with sleeves with a skirt, but not too fussy or too
flashy". Her signature is a crisp white shirt, often turned back at the
cuffs; she is also likely to turn up to an evening gala in a white le
smoking as in
a floor-sweeping ball gown. "I have always loved trouser suits", she
has said. "It's something I absolutely believe in for women..

Last night of
Editor-N-Chief attended the "FLAT OUT - Step Into Comfort" Launch
Event hosted by CEO and "Woman In Business" Dawn Dickson -
This event started out like the founder herself - CLASSY. We were escorted to a
Luxury Penthouse located in mid-town Miami - over looking the Miami Waterway
Skyline and treated to VIP delights like; Massages, Manicures - (with the
hottest nail colors Miami is known for), a variety of Houderves from a staff of
chefs and custom made drinks.. The vibe was exciting, friendly and supportive
in Dawn's brand as attendees flocked to see her latest styles..
I WAS TOTALLY IMPRESSED!
I WAS TOTALLY IMPRESSED!
PERSONAL
REVIEW:
Within the brief
conversation with Dawn, I sensed she is a business woman who knows her stuff..
Beautiful woman - she gracefully introduced me to her product and gifted me
with an exclusive pair of RED BOTTOM - Leopard print Flats.. which
are a girls best friend.. After a night of mingling and networking my feet were
tired and exhausted -- I opened my flats, put them on and that was all she
wrote.. They're stylish, very comfortable and the answer to the next best thing
On-The-Go.. In my option.. Dawn hit home!
CONGRATULATIONS..
