Yes Yes, you read it right; Curacao International Fashion Week!!
When I first read about this event on Facebook I was a little skeptical about it since it was plain Curacao Fashion Week. I started to wonder how many local designers existed and if they could pull off a fashion week. But as more information about this event emerged I went from skeptical to excited. It happens to be that the event is Curacao International Fashion Week and it is exactly this international nature of the event that really changed my perspective.
"Curaçao International Fashion Week has as goal to be the leading event in the Caribbean for fashion designers to showcase their collections to a global audience of press, retailers, stylists, industry influencers and establish itself as a platform of discovery promoting innovative fashion designers through runway shows and exhibitions, without excluding the most important part of this event which is promote internationally what makes Curaçao special among Caribbean Islands."
After receiving a couple of request for a post on colors for Spring & Summer I decided to do a 2-in-1 post. I was already working on a post about what colors and prints are wardrobe essentials right now. But since Spring is approaching and Summer is not that far, an integration of these two seemed to be the best approach.
When it comes down to colors and prints, everything really depends on your style, what you feel comfortable wearing or your dare level. Meaning that style and taste are really personal, but that doesn't mean you can't take inspiration from something or someone and make it your own. So consider this post a guide for your Spring & Summer wardrobe.
The wardrobe essentials (must haves) according to me are:
- Lace
- Aztec/Tribal Print
- Pastel & Bright Colors
- Khaki-ish
- White
- Stripes
Forgive me for discovering this website until now! I still can not remember how or why I stumbled upon this major website, but whatever the reasons might be I am glad & thankful.
"My Fashion Database is the fashion industry’s go-to resource; we celebrate the credits that move fashion forward! We organize fashion credits of all the latest covers, campaigns, and editorials from publications and brands around the world."
That description could not have been more precise. On MyFBD.com you can find magazine covers, editorials, campaigns, people(ranging from photographers to models) and companies. So just like the name already says it is this huge fashion database. What I liked from things I've seen so far on the website was that some of the magazine covers and campaigns date back from the 90's so you can clearly see how things have changed the past decades.
