Concept Fashion Week Day 2 - Jen Awad Show

 The Jen Awad show was definitely more my speed.  I can see almost every one of her pieces living in my closet.  Her line consisted of wool, metallic fabric, satin, fur and extreme hardware.  I was definitely feeling the rocker, boho chic vibe her show gave off.  A few of my favorite pieces in her collection were the tailored cropped biker jackets with zipper details, both in black and hot pink, the high-waisted bloomer shorts(I'm bloomer obsessed) and her pants suit.  I was also very happy she decided to use color in her collection.  After a weekend full of colorless collections, a little splash was refreshing to see.

I also spotted a new trend at this show, wearing sheer thigh highs as an accessory.  I jumped on the thigh high trend a couple years ago and have always loved it thanks to one of my all time favorite movies, Clueless, however I never saw sheer thigh highs being worn until tonight and I'm all about it! I also noticed Blogger's Teresa Marino and Emily Kolberg wearing this trend to the show.  

The statement lipstick the models were wearing was also an A in my book.  You can't ever go wrong with a pop of color!

You've got to love bow ties for women! I absolutely love Teresa's look.

The Nami show included garments of various textures and fabrications.  She used fabrics such as lace, silk and wool.  One of my favorite things about the Nami collection was the creative cut outs in the backs of a number of the garments.  I also enjoyed the various ways she incorporated lace by using it as panels in a maxi dress as well as for the bodice and neckline of certain pieces.  Another favorite of mine were the over-sized, draped, dolman sleeve cardigans and sweaters, which would be perfect for these last few cold months of Spring.  

However, I wish she incorporated more use of vibrant color in her collection.  I am currently obsessed with the color nude but I felt like a few of these pieces would have stood out more if she had included a little more color in the collection.
