WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN?: fashion

Yesterday I posted my chat with Honor designer, Giovanna Randall. Today I’m revisiting New York Fashion Week, with my chat with Perry Ellis designer and creative director, John Crocco. He was really nice, chill, and I totally understood his vision for the collection, I think he had 36 looks or something crazy-high for a runway show.

The best part of the show was the beautiful models, and more importantly they took their shirts off for the finale; umm…yes please! =)

If you missed my pictures from the Perry Ellis show, you can check them out here.

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN?: fashion

15 Sep

I left the Perry Ellis show saying yummy, although my favorite model of the show only walked at the end….i wish i knew his name,! Anyway, Creative Director and designer, John Crocco did a nice job with 2012 Spring collection, and who ever did the casting did a spectacular job. Over the seasons, we’ve seen Crocco infuse more color into the Perry Ellis brand, and this spring he opted for a more muted color palete. I got a chance to speak with the designer, and he said he was inspired by the Arizona deserts, and that can be clearly scene. With heavy use of khaki and creams, accented with corals, cyans, purples, yellows and blues, I could see the desert sky at sunset.

Although i would love a man with a little more edgy style than the Perry Ellis man, everyone once and a while, or on vacation, I’d enjoy this pumped up preppy look.

The best part of the show, was of course the boys, but more importantly at the finale, when all the models came out shirtless. OOOh Wee! All of the ladies, and most of the men, were quite happy, let me tell you!

Yelawolf I’ve decided to add a new category to What Gets You Movin, and that would be ‘Hotness’! Since I was about 14, I’ve had these mini crushes on people, a new person almost every other week. Nothing serious, just someone or sometimes a subject/entity that heightens my radar for the moment. I’m always sharing […]
