The @evan_hirsch #NYFW show “Found Opulence” w The @evan_hirsch #NYFW show “Found Opulence” was made for all my #sustainablefashion babes: Every item started off as a piece from Goodwill and was transformed by the designer through reworking and couture finishing (like the STUNNING draped beading on my favorite look, the emerald green gown). Shown on a range of sizes and body types, this runway presented a unique alternative to constantly producing new clothing; instead giving old pieces new life. Congrats to @evan_hirsch and @verynewyork for a great show! P.S. The exact runway dresses will be available for sale on @shopgoodwill_com to raise money for their nonprofit organization! #evanhirsch #upcycledfashion
Got so many compliments and saw SO many faves in t Got so many compliments and saw SO many faves in this excellent @reneecafaroatelier runway set yesterday! Swipe for some moments from the day, including some photos I swiped from @plusjones and @laurenhopekrass’ Stories today! ❤️ More to come from this runway too - it was so good! #NYFW #reneecafaroatelier
Another PHENOMENAL presentation from @alexisbittar Another PHENOMENAL presentation from @alexisbittar today - like at this point he’s going to have to start saying designer/visual artist because this was BEYOND. The commentary, the jewelry, the energy, the casting, all of it. Just ART.  Like this is what I want to see from #NYFW, especially in times like these. Bravo!

For @newyorkmensday and the official Day 1 of #NYF For @newyorkmensday and the official Day 1 of #NYFW, I decided to style a look around this unisex mesh piece from @telfarglobal, because style has no gender limits, as the #NYMD designers always show beautifully. Swipe for some of my favorite looks from the designers at this @agentrypr classic, as well as my midday trip downtown to the @normakamali presentation, filled with at LEAST 100 mannequins styled in her classic draped jersey designs - and one coffee shop work time selfie for good measure 😁 #telfar #plussizefashion
With adoptable pups, fantastic fashion, and a stun With adoptable pups, fantastic fashion, and a stunning and diverse runway filled with faves like Christina Hendricks, Nicole Byer, Minnie Mills, Edie Falco, and more, the @rachelantonoff and @susan_alexandra show really set the bar high for #NYFW 😍 I love that the agow opened with a plus model too (@palomaidaliasandoval looking amazing in the bunny dress!), and that Rachel Antonoff actually carries plus sizes up to 26W! Combining adoptable dogs, runway inclusion, and cool clothes is a sure fire way to my heart, and they did it once again with Best In Show 😍 Oh and shout out to @chrisflemingfleming for being the most hilarious dog show judge of all time! #rachelantonoff #susanalexandra
A moment for this PERFECT @eloquii denim corset dr A moment for this PERFECT @eloquii denim corset dress I wore to their #NYFW show last night! The fit was phenomenal and the bust support *is from the dress* (!!!!!!!!) I never can go braless in a halter like this, but this one kept me lifted and contained all night. A++ highly recommend! Linking in my Stories and on LTK now 💕 Pro tip: Go up one size if you are similarly busty.
It really is the @joseph_mcrae show! @projectrunwa It really is the @joseph_mcrae show! @projectrunway alum Joseph McRae showed at @agentrypr’s @newyorkmensday today and had a beautifully diverse cast, including my long time fave plus supermodel @lirisc, looking AMAZING, as always. More to come from the show, but I loved hearing a designer’s perspective on casting more than one shape and size ❤️

My first #NYFW runway this season wasn’t a catwa My first #NYFW runway this season wasn’t a catwalk; it was even better: The @rachelantonoff and @susan_alexandra Dog Show, with all the dogs being adoptable bbs from @animalhaven (and all the adoption fees are waived for all of these cuties too!) The runway was star studded, with babes like @nicolebyer @actuallychristinahendricks and @ediefalco showing off the sweet pups looking for homes in new designs from Rachel and Susan 😍 I got to see so many faves in attendance too, including the one and only @stacylondonreal ❤️

I wore this floaty Rachel Antonoff bleeding hearts mini, styled with a @baacalofficial harness, platform @stuartweitzman boots from @dsw, and this @maisonmargiela clutch from @designerrevival that got me approximately 8 million compliments 🥰 

Congrats to @susan_alexandra @rachelantonoff @wearesavi for another fantastic show!
