Fashion Week

FGI Emerging Designers Competition

November 22, 2010

Natallia Pilipenka

This was my favorite designer out of all the shows at the Bass Museum for the competition. She of course won the competition. So deserved.  I loved her aesthetic. I would love that chunky sweater with the cutouts on the arms & the cagey tunic dress from the 4th picture below. I took really crappy pictures on this day for some reason as you can see above. I know exactly what I did wrong too and I’d never do that now. Oh the growth. Luckily for me I had photographer Simon Soong to fall back on so I still get to share with you guys some of the looks from the show and the other designers. I colored the photos to match my style.

Bambina by NV

I didn’t think this collection wasn’t cohesive enough for me. I only want to talk about what I liked though so below you can see the 3 looks I liked. They were my standouts and were completely different from anything else she showed. If there’s more like the below 3 then I’m down. Can you tell I love harnesses and cutouts, toss in a little leather and it’s love.

I didn’t include Scarabello or Alfonso Couture. Both are not really my style and though there were 3 dresses from Scarbello that I liked only 1 photo is useable. 1 there’s nipple slip so no, the other in every frame the model is doing something unacceptable with her face (this is a constant with her) or her eyes are closed. She really lacks runway energy and it’s upsetting. Scarbello has a Fall Winter lookbook featuring the dresses I liked but it’s unavailable on their website, it’s only on their facebook and the quality is awful so I won’t post it here.  It’s so important to keep your sites as updated as possible, you never know who wants to use your images or talk about your brand. Alfonso Couture is simply not my style at all but I should say that they were last year’s winner.

YAY!

    “the model is doing something unacceptable with her face ”
    LMAO!

    True about the websites thing. They should already know that facebook greatly decreases picture quality.

    I’m glad she won :). I’m loving that dress on the far left in the 1st photo. I generally don’t like fringe-y shoulder embellishments, but I’m loving the sheerness and the straps.

One Day for Jackson might just be the easiest way to give back. Just by shopping your favorite spots (like Chick-fil-a, Glow Pilates, Elia and more) on April 16th and you’re supporting South Florida’s largest public healthcare system at the same time. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. 

And if you’ve been seeing me pop up with @JacksonHealthFoundation lately, that’s because I’ll be partnering with them through October so you’re going to be hearing a lot more about the incredible work they do for our community. 

Visit OneDayForJackson.org to find all the partners near you or just text JACKSON to 41444. Be the ONE to make an impact 🫶🏾

I had such a beautiful night at the Golden Angels Gala ✨ Getting involved in my community through the @JacksonHealthFoundation and getting to see first hand the commitment to supporting patient care for thousands across our city.
