Fall 2015 Style Issue

For fashion magazines, the Fall/September issues are in some ways like opening presents under the Christmas tree.         #styleintegrity Over the decades it is always one of anticipation.              Admittedly, I rarely reach for fashion magazines as I once did.   In seeking style, artistry, something exquisitely made,…

Stylish Black & White Fashion

Black & White…Day & Night…Summer & Winter… Contrast.   #styleintegrity Everyone lives with contrast.  It offers vitality, vibrancy and imagination. Everyday choices provide contrast and even surprise where the day may take you. My love for black & white came from the ascot scene in the musical production of “My Fair Lady.” Admittedly, I participated in…

Color Design Adds Distinct Style

Some mornings color is the first thing that awakens you!      #styleintegrity There are particular designers who define themselves by color use before silhouette. In my daily reviewing of designer collections across the seasons, Roksanda Ilincic, a Serbian designer based in London never disappoints!  Her garment silhouette lines offer accent to the color seam…

Style Expressed In Framed Creativity

Strolling through the WWD.com Fall 2015 Couture Fashion Designer collections, I found myself giggling at the playfulness of  Viktor & Rolf’s collection.                       #styleintegrity Each of their runway ensembles had women wearing printed garment variations of supposed framed works of art.  Imaginative, Artistic & Theatrical… Clicking through one ensemble after another…

Design Styled in Profile

We are all always coming and going….                                   #styleintegrity I watched someone sitting in wait for her name to be announced at a function.  She sat regally in anticipation of her cue to rise and greet the audience.   Something…

Style Found In Resort 2016 Floral Motif Design

Fresh Fashion…I found that in the designs of Andrew Gn’s Resort 2016 collection  #styleintegrity Today’s post is all about feel good fashion.  Something different.  Something that got my attention. I found several of the runway ensemble looks reminiscent of children tales, such as the children’s story of Heidi from Switzerland, or Hansel & Gretel, and even…

For Artistry…For Design

This incredible image of artistry is one of the most pinned images from my Pinterest Style Integrity account.              #styleintegrity Just like the many images that have inspired me, this designer’s work captured the pure passion found in true design artistry.  So, it came as quite a shock to me, when I…

Style Integrity Inspired By Nature

Style & Beauty are found everywhere.  Nature provides the riches design inspiration.                     #styleintegrity The color of leaves during the autumn.  Snow falling in a hush.  The waves lapping against the beach.  A sun rise or sunset. Fields of lavender in the South of France. The images below did…
