Olympic Style: Runway to Raceway

It’s been all Olympics, all the time at NBC. Last week I spent quite a bit of time perusing photos of Olympic athletes trying to figure out if mere civilians could acquire high tech skating suits and such. (See: Dress Like an Olympian). As I sifted through, I realized that a lot of the looks were oddly similar to looks  shown on the runways at Fashion Week. So, when I finished the Olympic gear guide, I threw together a photo gallery that’s a bit more up my alley: Runway to Raceway.” I hope you’ll click through; it’s fun.

And, since I just posted about cobalt & black looks, I made a little Olympic fashion montage just for you.


Fashion Week: Cobalt and Black

In honor of a fall/winter 2010 fashion trend, cobalt and black, I’ve changed my header. Like it? The pink was annoying me. So cloying. I really only put it up for Valentine’s Day.

Here are some cobalt & black looks off the runway. For cobalt home décor on eBay, and other runway trends that we’ll see translated into interior looks this year, have a peek at my trend articles for The Inside Source: “New York Fashion Week Goes Home” (Part 1 and Part 2).

Designers
1st Row:  Anna Sui; Burberry; Calvin Klein; Proenza Schouler
2nd Row: Marchesa; Catherine Malandrino; Diane von Furstenberg; Lela Rose

Fashion Week: Peacock Colors

Forgive me for not posting since last week. I’ve been consumed by New York Fashion Week. Unfortunately I didn’t get to actually go to the shows, but I held down the fort from my laptop. The fort being “The Thread” NBC New York’s fashion blog. I spent the week looking at every collection online, creating photo galleries, curating trend pics, and editing text. Totally fun.

One of my favorite collections was Peter Som’s. I totally adore the colors, and the mix of texture and pattern. While it’s unlikely I’ll ever dress like that, I would absolutely decorate a room in that palette. Purples, greens, blues – peacock colors for sure.

Here is a montage of peacock color looks from the fall/winter 2010 collections:
