For S/S 2015, Charlotte Ronson presented an excitingly feminine dream to the MBFW crowd at The Hudson Hotel. The fashionable crowd first found quotes from classic style icons, such as Elizabeth Taylor, while taking in tunes spun by esteemed DJ Samantha Ronson, renditions of Purple Rain. This collection was all about the fun and flirty empowered female. And with inspired fashion icons to help lead the way, it’s no surprise this presentation showcased looks any woman would be proud and happy to don!

The clothes were of course frequented by Ronson’s signature feminine prints. This season, she opted for groundbreaking floral prints of a wide variety, such as a girly ruffled frock in a fresh, watercolor floral pattern.

“The first thing to do my love, is to arrange to be born in Paris, after that, everything follows quite naturally.” Diana Vreeland (noted columnist and editor in the field of fashion — Harper’s Bazaar & Vogue).

This collection hit a stride on finding a delicate balance between opposite ends of the fashionable spectrum. The looks were soft and easy-going, yet still screamed “I am a strong, empowered, very feminine woman.” The looks were fun and flirty, yet still have the capability of showing off a little sexiness. Also, there was a clear mod, 60s inspiration, but the looks were still updated and very modern with trends such as sheer overlay, lace detailing, and trendy silhouettes.

This collection presented so many looks to instantly fall in love with. I, like many other women, truly want to dress comfortably, yet still be chic, look casual/easy-going, but still feel confident and sexy. Charlotte Ronson has done just this for S/S 2015, a job well done!

Charlotte Ronson Presents “A Good Girl Gone Bad!”

index                                                                    Charlotte Ronson Fall / Winter 2014 Presentation

Okay so I don’t mean “bad” like going on a crime spree, more like “bad” with an edgier & risk-taking vibe! There are some killer looks in this collection for a girl who is not afraid to dress daringly, who can throw caution to the wind. This is a girl who for Fall/Winter 2014 is letting her guard down and looking hot & high-fashion while doing it!

This was my 1st opportunity to attend the Charlotte Ronson presentation and it was 100% worth it! Of course as you can see from the amazing fashion-side, but there is also just the awesome feeling of being in such great company.
