Tory Burch

“At Tory Burch, look 28 was by far my favorite. Not that a floor length puffer would be put to use at all in LA where I live, but I would take myself to a place just for this coat.”

TIBI

“My favorite part of Tibi was the men’s looks and the overly masculine ensembles….the XL turtlenecks with the shiny, tailored but boxy leather jackets with baggy trousers. I’m 5 foot 2 so I’ve embraced clothes that look like they’re too large for me. I love that she paired back sleek looks with flip-flops to make everything feel more casual and undone.”

SIES MARJAN

“Really on board with the concept of the Sies Marjan show being about “falling in love.” Falling in love is scary, fun, and exhilarating, all at the same time, and fashion week embodies all those emotions as well. Look 13 was my favorite. I love the rainbow and everything it stands for. Twisted silk dresses are something that appears in my wardrobe. Paired down with more masculine boots and no makeup, I would wear this dress in my everyday life in LA for sure!  Also, [I am] really inspired to have neon or pastel hair after seeing the show.”
