Why? When you combine over-the-top, outrageous styling and a touch of humor and whimsy with simply elegant, beautifully crafted pieces, it’s an event that can’t be missed. One thing we’ve noticed after several seasons is that it never gets old and dare we forget to mention, the hair! There is always big hair involved and the styling at this Fall/Winter 2019 runway was no exception.

For this New York Fashion Week collection, Thailand was the starting point after the dynamic duo’s recent trip and so what unfolded down the runway was Thai culture and cuisine serving as inspiration. The result — traditional Thai silhouettes reinterpreted with bold colors, intricate beading and embroidery. Exaggerated volume, beautiful textural embellishments and richly colored, seasonal fabrics and prints were woven into the collection. Once you strip away the big hair (and exaggerated makeup) and dive deeper into the individual pieces and looks, one discovers a detailed collection full of elegant style that knows how to take itself not so seriously in a very serious world.[/x_text][/x_column][/x_row][/x_section][x_section style=”margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 45px 0px; “][x_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” bg_color=”” style=”margin: 0px auto 0px auto; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_column bg_color=”” type=”1/4″ style=”padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “] [/x_column][x_column bg_color=”” type=”3/4″ style=”padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_tab_nav type=”two-up” float=”top”][x_tab_nav_item title=”Runway ” active=”true”][x_tab_nav_item title=”Backstage and Runway (Closeups)” active=”false”][/x_tab_nav][x_tabs][x_tab active=”true”][/x_tab][x_tab active=”false”][/x_tab][/x_tabs][/x_column][/x_row][/x_section]
