Benetton inunda Nueva York de color y arte pop

La firma italiana United Colors of Benetton no atraviesa su mejor momento económico. Por ello, ante la crisis, han apostado por la creatividad.
     El Soho neoyorkino acoge desde este mes de septiembre hasta el próximo diciembre The Art of Knit, un nuevo concepto de espacios pop-up en los que Benetton desafía a la idea de tienda de ropa convencional, sustituyéndola por un lugar donde confluyen las ideas, los tejidos, las riqueza crómatica y el concepto de galería en este taller del tejido liderado por You Nguyen y FABRICA, responsables del proyecto.

Christine Alcalay A/W 2012 NYFW Presentation

CHRISTINE ALCALAY A/W 2012 [Ph. My Own]

In the Spring, Alcalay was all about bold prints and geometric shapes with splashes of strong color blocking. For Autumn, Alcalay sprinkled in periwinkle, shimmering velvets, and deep cranberry. Structured coats and red lips finish the look. Every piece elegant, luxurious and feminine. A classic collection I can't wait to sample for myself.

I'm really excited about the S/S 2012 Christine Alcalay Dress I was gifted after the Show. I can't wait to wear it (and share it) with you on the blog ...soon. I'm just waiting for things to warm up a bit more before I dare to bare my legs.. ;)

My 4 Days at Trump Soho

Visiting New York, no matter how extended the time, never seems to last long enough. Known as the city that never sleeps; my bones thrive on the energy. Hours of sightseeing on foot, while fun, is equally exhaustive. In between scheduled appointments and spontaneous rendezvous a resting spot is key.

A colossal thank you to Trump Soho (and Coach!) for cordially hosting me. I will miss my plush hotel bed, mind-boggling sights and room service tremendously.


However, I did manage to bring home my slippers and intoxicatingly delicious bath soaps. Trump Soho was truly my home away from home in between go-sees and meetings.

I had the most delightful encounter on my second afternoon, while sitting in the lobby waiting for a friend, I was offered a chilled glass of champagne. Soon after, someone casually took a seat on the couch near me. When I turned to look, I think my eyes bugged out a little. It was Carson Daly. I used to run home from school to watch TRL not so many years ago. He's just as pleasant in person.


The room was sumptuously stocked with Vanity Fair and Ivanka Trump's wares. This picture book encompassed New York City's sights dating back as early as the 1900's.

On my last night, I spotted Rihanna walking in. Later when I ran out for Starbucks across the street, paparazzi were all lined up in front and snapped my photograph --it was a frightening yet equally exhilarating experience. Apparently they were waiting for Rihanna, it still made me smile.
