KOP Styling Featured on THESUNK.COM

  

Late last year I shared some behind the scenes photos of a menswear editorial I did featuring blogger Steven Hall, also known as The Sunk. We've finally released the project and he has featured it on his blog The Sh*t You Need to Know. Make sure you check out his site because it's filled with interesting material from dating, food to music and pop culture but WARNING it's definitely not for the sexually shy. The link to the photo story on The Sunk's blog can be found here. More of my styling work is coming ladies and gents. I promise. But for now enjoy what I entitiled "The Lone Wolf".

King of Posh Interviews For The Vocal Vixen

First I would like to start off with a HAPPY APRIL LOVES!!! I hope no one was horribly  tricked this past April Fool's Day. In New York we have already been staying true to the old saying "April Showers", with slightly warmer yet rainy days. But nothing can rain on my parade today because a great interview  I did for celebrity news and fashion blog, The Vocal Vixen, went live today. I am so humbled when others take the time to notice what I am working so hard to accomplish.  It was great to be able to express who I am and what my brand stands for. You can find the complete article  here. Thank you all for your support and hopefully there will be more press to come!

A bright and sunny day after snow fall turns out to be perfect scenery for a quick look of the day shoot so I decided to pose for a few flicks before heading out to a fashion benefit at The High school of Fashion Industries in midtown. While staying true to my black and white I couldn't help but add this pop of red when I FINALLY saw an opportunity to wear these insane shoes received from Posh Flame Boutique. 

We're getting warmer days here and there but I cannot wait for the weather to break. 

As always, thank you guys for stopping by.

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Presents David Tlale Fall 2014

Happy belated Valentines Day! I hope everyone felt loved in someway on that day just as I hope you feel loved everyday. In the spirit of my love for fashion I bring to you another runway recap from this past season's fashion week!!!!

David Tlale provided a mind blowing presentation at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2014. Everything from the music, to the models, to the progression of the line from beginning to end was perfect. I had the pleasure of sitting front row and the craftsmanship and detail of the garments was amazing. There was an extra touch of sparkle on some pieces that made them een more special. Although I have used a number of words to describe Tlale's collection, the word I feel describes it the most accurately is dynamic. This was the most dynamic collection I saw all week. Tlale started with a light taupe color and very polished casual to business casual looks. Then, he moved us into a more edgier feel with midnight blues,black,and leather accents. Finally, he ended with these amazing gowns in the taupe, midnight blue, and black colors. The finale gown was a black sheer garment made with sheer black fabric and over the top flower details. I was in love. I dare to say EVERY type of woman could find a piece she would love in this collection. This is rare with designers, as many tend to point their vision in one direction, with one person in mind. The collection was elegant, chic, fashion forward, sexy,.....and so much more. Throughout the show all you could hear was the gasps of of the audience and cameras clicking as each and every garment hit the runway. It was a grand experience and I am more than happy I was able to witness that type of artistic expression and passion.

New York Fashion Week F/W 2014 | Launch Nyc x Manufacture New York Fashion Show

New York City is action packed at the moment. We all thought the craziness would be leaving the Big Apple now that the Super Bowl is came and went, but that could not be any further from the case because....IT'S FASHION WEEK. It's time for all of the world's celebrities, media, bloggers, and genuine fashion enthusiasts to convene in the greatest city on earth, all in the name of fashion.

I had the opportunity to attend Launch NYC Fashion Week by Manufacture New York Demi Couture/Couture show, which featured three independent designers who are apart of the Manufacture New York incubator. The show took place in a loft like space in the Chelsea area of Manhattan. The venue was swarming with photographers and excited guests. At 6:30 pm the show began, starting with design house Minnoji, then segueing into Modu, and finally Mimi New York. The three presentations had very different feels but I enjoyed each equally.

Minnoji went for a very modern feel with leather head piece and leg accents. There was a strong military presence accentuated with blunt asymmetrical cuts. Black and white monochrome is trending for Fall 2014 and Minnoji showed this with a predominately B&W collection. Modu had my complete attention with beautiful wool coats. These coats would complement any Fall wardrobe. Modu offered a more laid back, everyday look but the construction and fabric quality is definitely what made it demi couture. Mimi New York brought a strong sex appeal to the runway with a collection of body fitting gowns. The use of flowing sheer fabrics, lace, and beading gave the line a 1920's flapper feel. The avant garde teased faux bobs were also a nice touch. This one ivory colored gown with sheer cutouts and train was my favorite look for the night.

The Launch NYC event was phenomenal and I would love to attend the Fall showing. Special thank you to MontagePR and Amp3 PR. More event recaps are coming soon.

Old To You, New to Them

 

Hat: Perry Ellis

Sunglasses: Forever 21

Coat: Goodwill

Dress: Urban Outfitters

 Belt: H&M

Bag: Zara

Shoes: 630

This look is especially special to me because it's comprised of garments from my parents. My hat is an old Perry Ellis fedora given to me by my dad and the no name wool coat was taken from my mother's closet. BOTH items have been on this earth longer then I have. I found this pleated hounds tooth dress on a sale rack in Urban Outfitters my sophomore year of college.

Despite how "dated" all these pieces are they still happened to coordinate in a way that is very current. Moral to the story is just because something is seasons old doesn't mean it can't be transformed into a look of the times. If it is well made piece and flattering to you, you can find ways to update it. NO ONE KNOWS IT'S OLD BUT YOU. Re-invent. Re-create.

I was inspired by Kim K's over sized coat trend. I couldn't afford to run out and by an expensive coat that I might not even want to wear next season, so I found this coat in our coat closet and paired it with this short dress and strappy cheetah pumps to add a feminine touch. 

Now you try. Did I hear someone say style challenge?
