Arizona Muse: NY Fashion Week Fall 2011 Model of The Moment!!

Arizona Madness!

Arizona Muse, YSL Campaign

As I was perusing all the NY Fashion Week fall 2011 Collections--via photos and runway videos--I couldn't help but notice that Model Arizona Muse opened just about EVERY OTHER SHOW!!! I know she was THE model of the moment--or just about, but also seems to be the "IT" runway girl! She opened for:

Derek Lam

Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti

Carolina Herrera

And J. Mendel...among others

Girl was making her money this past week walking for all them shows! And the best part about it is that she can actually walk! Sometimes, those FABULOUS editorial girls "ain't so fabulous" when they step out onto the runway.

Arizona Muse, UK Vogue, February 2011

This used to be the norm back in the 90's and early 21st century but now, these models do Double Duty (editorial & catwalk) and do both well! Congrats to Miss Arizona--I, for one, am a big fan! Maybe one of these days she can model for my NIKOLAKI Collections...Now, get on that transatlantic flight and head over to Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks darling!

Carolina Herrera Fall 2011:

For her latest Fall 2011 Collection, Venezuelan-born, American Designer Carolina Herrera--a favorite of Barbara Walters, the Kennedy's, well-heeled old-money East Coast set and Renee Zellweger to boot--sent out what looked like "Real Ladies Clothes"; sellable, well-tailored, elegant clothes. No trickery. Clothes that one might actually see in her boutiques--as well as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, etc. Colors ranged from gray, pumpkin orange to ocean blues. Lots of fur. And some iridescence for evening. Two standout details: The Funnel Neck covered-shoulder "Capelet" and...wait for it...SENSIBLE shoes! These Ladies Do Late Lunches sans their 5" Louboutin Platform Pumps! See for yourself:

Polka Accessories: Marc Jacobs Fall 2011

Latex, Lace, Polka Dots and Boxy-Fitted: These are words to describe the prints, fabrications and silhouettes at Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 Collection, debuted this week at New York Fashion Week. As always, with Marc Jacobs, there were LOTS of fun details and great individual pieces. For example: Love that blue-violet over-sized paillette skirt below and those Booties and trust me, we'll see plenty of Glam Girls pre-ordering that Polka Dot Bag as well!
