<p><span style="color: #000000;">In previous years the W Hotel has hosted VIP events at the tents in Bryant Park. This year fashionistas will be able to purchase some of the designer duds directly from the hotel. This collaboration between a luxury hotel and designers could be beneficial to both parties involved especially since the W brand has been no stranger to the fashion industry over the years.</span></p>
<div><span style="font-size: x-small; color: #000080;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em>Each designer has agreed to a season-long partnership with W that will include trunk shows at hotels around the world, creating hotel-inspired items for W&#8217;s Global Glam spring fashion label ($50 to $650) and designing uniforms for new hotels, Women&#8217;s Wear Daily reports.</em></span></span></div>

<p>Two brothers from Spain, Custo and David Dalmau created Custo Barcelona in the early 1980s. While traveling around the world and eventually finding their way to California they were inspired by the landscape and with the surf style. The Dalmau brothers were fascinated by the colorful, psychedelic prints and contrasting styles between Northern and Southern California surfers. The trip was the beginning of their fashion journey and they launched the &#8220;Custo Line” that was inspired by the California lifestyle. Today Custo still delivers their bold prints, bright colors and silk-screened pieces for women and men. With New York Fashion Week coming up quickly everyone is anxious to see the new collections. Let&#8217;s take a sneak peak at the <a href="http://www.custo-barcelona.com/" target="_blank">Custo Barcelona</a> sketches from the Spring-Summer 2011 ready-to-wear collection:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<div id="attachment_1492" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://lipstickandluxury.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Custo-Barcelona-SS-11-Sketches-Hi-Res1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1492  " title="Custo Barcelona SS 11  Sketches " src="http://lipstickandluxury.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Custo-Barcelona-SS-11-Sketches-Hi-Res1-300x281.jpg" alt="Custo Barcelona SS 11  Sketches " width="400" height="375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Custo Barcelona SS 11 Sketches </p></div>
<p><!--StartFragment--><em><strong>CUSTO SUMMER FESTIVAL</strong> is the most appropriate name for the new proposals in the spring-summer collection 2011 from Custo. Positive energy, freshness and free-spiritedness pervades both the daywear collection, Custo Everyday, and the eveningwear collection, Custo Let’s Party.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>CUSTO EVERYDAY</strong> includes comfortable easywear, with lots of personality and colours, to create whole looks loaded with Custo DNA. Denim is the star of this collection, to wear with slouchy, baggy boho silhouettes. Without forgetting the brightest and most typically Custo colours, the palette this season includes pale, dusty and nude shades and military colour ranges, combined with embroidery, appliqué and patchwork. Innovation in the fabric department with linen, jersey for a cool, natural country look: tricot waistcoats, sweaters and scarves with very open weave to look like holes and macro crochet; dresses and loose shirts in guipure and pieces in viscose. The graphics take two forms: arty geometry and colourful, more figurative microprints.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>CUSTO LET’S PARTY</strong> features sexy looks, shoulder pads, generous necklines, knee-length pieces, and asymmetrical, slightly oversized pieces. Dark colours are the stars of the eveningwear collection, mixed with metallic shades: gold, bronze, copper, mercury and rusts, combined with electric and vibrant tones. The silks are sand washed or overdyed to give a vintage effect, less sophisticated than those in the Lowxury collection. Graphic colourful velour mixed with eco leather or paillettes along with multicoloured digital prints and pixel effects flood the garments in the eveningwear collection.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>LOWXURY</strong> (LOW + LUXURY) is a collection for evening and special occasions at competitive prices in flattering, sensual shapes that skim over the body. Of particular note are the colourful mini-dresses and the tops with fringes and lots of movement, worn with skirts and shorts. Jackets and waistcoats complete an outfit that&#8217;s perfect for every occasion. The brightest colours in the Custo palette are mixed with earth tones, khaki, sand and black and with bright appliqués in passementerie and guipure lace. Fuchsia, jade, aquamarine and mauve sparkles enhance these original creations. And the fabrics? These are fluid chiffons and silk satin with wild, natural-coloured prints. An ode to perforations that allow a glimpse of other prints and materials, even naked skin.</em></p>
<p>It looks like we&#8217;ll be seeing a lot of interesting print combinations in this collection. Personally I am a fan of Custo jackets and I think their use of multiple patterns is as beautiful and spirited as pop art. I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing what they will show at New York Fashion Week. What are your thoughts on this upcoming collection?<em><br />

<p>Emerging independent designers get to showcase their collections at <a href="www.nolchafashionweek.com " target="_blank">Nolcha Fashion Week: New York</a> thanks to the mastermind behind this event, Kerry Bannigan. There was a need to fill a void during Fashion Week where globally minded designers could come together to exhibit their collections. Nolcha Fashion Week: New York takes place simultaneously during New York Fashion Week and brings apparel and accessory designers from all over the world including Brazil, Dominican Republic, Sweden, Russia and many other countries. I was able to interview Kerry Bannigan and asked her to share a few behind the scenes details about this amazing event and it&#8217;s benefits to the fashion world.</p>
<p><strong>What was your inspiration behind Nolcha Fashion Week: New York?</strong></p>
<p>Listening to fashion designers discuss the need for a cost effective platform to showcase their collections to trade. We wanted to provide this but ensure a professional environment and ability to strengthen a designers brand.</p>
<p>In September 2006 we did runway shows for 6 designers in New York and London. Several seasons on and we have worked with over 160 brands and have introduced the Accessory Exhibition, Ethical Fashion Preview and Beyond the Runway Award.</p>
<p><strong>How has Nolcha Fashion Week changed over the years?</strong><br />
<strong> </strong><br />
Each season we expand the Nolcha Fashion Week: New York platform including additional opportunities for designers and our sponsors. We have introduced the Accessory Exhibition and the Ethical Fashion Preview; as well as launched the Beyond the Runway Award this season thanks to LooseButton, MSLK, Ernst &amp; Young, Orrick and Studio Light.</p>
<p>Our support from sponsors grows each year and it is thanks to these companies, such as NY Post, DonQ Rum, Riazul Tequila, Gibellieri Shoes and Marcel at the Gramercy Hotel, that we can offer affordable options for the independent fashion market.</p>
<p><strong>What do you know now that you didn&#8217;t know the first season?</strong><br />
<strong> </strong><br />
That no matter how precisely you plan or how organized you think you are something will always happen last minute, especially when dealing with so many creative personalities. You learn to find a fast solution then laugh.</p>
<p><strong>How can this event benefit the fashion world?</strong><br />
<strong> </strong><br />
Nolcha Fashion Week: New York provides a select showcase of independent fashion designers who are seeking to grow their brand in the USA market. The event supports the fashion designer with a turn-key solution; while providing a convenient destination for media, retailers, stylists, show rooms and other industry executives to attend and connect with relevant contacts to conduct business. We introduce a lot of brands to New York and therefore give our guests the advantage of working with cutting edge brands.</p>
<p><strong> </strong><br />
<strong>What was the greatest compliment that you received about this event?</strong><br />
<strong> </strong><br />
We receive many compliments about the event but for me the biggest compliments are in the actions of our returning sponsors, designers and industry support.</p>
<p><strong>What can viewers look forward to at this years show?</strong></p>
<p>This season we have introduced the Ethical Collective runway show in association with Bel Esprit showcasing sustainable brands Elena Garcia, Tammam, Miksani and Nicole Bridger among others.</p>
<p>We will be debut an interesting selection of designers including Hepsen Uzcan, N Kwon, Stella Simona and Narciss.</p>
<p><strong>Which designer would you say is the &#8220;one to watch&#8221;?</strong><br />
<strong> </strong><br />
Dora Abodi continues to intrigue me and I think the industry will be impressed, once again, by her latest collection.</p>
<p><strong>Is there anything else that you would like to share with my readers?</strong></p>
<p>There is the chance to work with our Style Director, Gabrielle Teare, backstage for a runway show. Visit <a href="http://www.facebook.com/nolcha">www.facebook.com/nolcha</a></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">HBO and designer Lydia Bravo have teamed up to bring us the Sex and the City bra strap collection. There is a different color bra strap for each Sex and the City star and each one is adorned with Swarovski crystal. It&#8217;s no surprise that Swarovski crystals were used since Swarovski had partnered with &#8220;Sex and the City 2&#8243; on jewelry and accessories for the film. The bra straps colors for the Sex and the City ladies are:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Samantha ~ Crystal</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Charlotte ~ Pink</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Carrie ~ Gold</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Miranda ~ Iridescent</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Personally I don&#8217;t know that I would wear them as bra straps since I&#8217;m not a fan of strapless bras in the first place. I would however wear them with something like a tube top for an evening out. These straps are just adorable and attention grabbing, I can just see myself sparkling the night away with pink Swarovski crystals gracing my shoulders and light bouncing off of them at my every turn. These are absolutely fabulous!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><!--StartFragment--></p>
<p>The collection will be available this Fall at the HBO Shop in NYC and <a href="http://www.HBO.com/store " target="_blank">www.HBO.com/store </a>- $142 per set</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">I must say that the Neo Reflectors are my favorite by far. These are lashes that I would expect to see Lady Gaga rockin&#8217; out with at one of her concerts. The lashes are fresh, modern and fun which I why I adore them.</p>
