Fall 2014 is all about making bold statements. Leave the reticence and vacillating behind. Be bold in choice of color, bold in your attitude, and bold in your decision making. Luxuriate in color palettes of orchid, hot pink, vivid red, and heather. Embrace silhouettes that encompass restrained volume with a variety of texture combinations.

Allow all these myriad points of view to enhance your personal style and bring out your inner and outer fierceness. Remember, this is not the season to be a shrinking violet. Let this bold season be your breakout season!!

Scenes D’Atelier

AltShoot (546)-featuredimage-1With Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week less than a week away, there are those seasoned industry professionals that yearn for the golden days of fashion when collections were seen by a few select editors, buyers and rich patrons. Lithe creatures would swirl and saunter in rich fabrications, evoking moods of glamour, sophistication and elegance.

That golden era is gone, but the fantasy and delicious reverie continues.  Though fashion is more global in its scope, and not the domain of a chosen few, creativity and innovation still reign supreme. And though the private spectacle of gilded ateliers may be just a memory, generations have reaped the benefit of the magic!! Viva Scenes D’Atelier!!

Who says going natural is the end all, be all look for summer beauty? Deep blues, vivid greens, and scintillating gold makes a bold statement this season. And combining those bold colors with a castaway, sea siren aesthetic gives a hint of mystery and allure. Remember, you want to always keep them guessing and vivid color this summer will give you that air of mystery that grabs attention and keeps them wanting more.

Ode to a Jersey Boy Band

JerseyBoyz (313)11The Temptations and The Beatles of the 1960s, Earth, Wind, and Fire in the 70s, Devo of the Punk Rock 80s, New Kids on the Block in the 90s, and  more recently, The Jonas Brothers and One Direction; all these boy bands/groups had their own particular sound and fashion perspective. From Earth, Wind, and Fire’s theatrical hieroglyphic-inspired, on-stage costumes to Devo’s art rock conceptual attire to New Kids on the Block’s mainstreamed hip hop gear, fashion and music have always been compatible bedfellows.

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons represented that time in pop music culture when musical acts dressed sharply, and a catchy beat, and four-part harmony reigned supreme. In this fashion editorial, Fashion Reverie references the elegance and sophistication of 60s boy bands while staying in step with what is fresh and trending.

Russo’s Charm

JoeRusso (034)It is often quoted that it takes charm to open the door, and charm to keep the doors open. And one of the many things that Joe Russo has in his well-crafted arsenal of attributes is CHARM!! Acting craft is an essential component to working on stage or in film, but charm will make the bigwigs want to keep you around. And since Joe Russo is in this for the long haul, his charming disposition will serve him well for many years to come.

A Jersey boy himself, Joe Russo’s performance as Joe Pesci in Clint Eastwood’s soon-to-be released “Jersey Boys,” based on the Broadway musical mega hit, is authentic, nuanced, and well-thought out. With roles in in “Shut Up and Kiss Me” (2010), “Jersey Shore Shark Attack” (2012), and “It’s You Not Me” (2013), this breakout role in “Jersey Boys” may just be Russo’s ticket to the big time.

Fashion Reverie was fortunate enough to sit and chat with Joe Russo about his character Joe Pesci, his preparation for the role, working with Clint Eastwood, and of course the great music of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

Galitzine: Classically Superior

Galitzine_Web (1 of 6)title_NO CREDITSFashion is all about  now and the next. Still, iconic classic brands tend to outlive trends and the mercurial tastebuds of consumers. Galitzine is one of those brands luxury that has stood the test of time. Founded by Princess Irene Galitzine in Rome in 1946, the brand set itself a part from outer Italian luxury brands by establishing itself as a company that created  clothing for women who wanted chic, sophisticate clothes that allowed them to have ease of movement, and that they could wear at every jointure of their day.

Now under the direction of Sergio Zambon, Galitzine continues to explore the needs of contemporary women, adapting their perspective on luxury clothes as it relates to the modern woman.  Fashion Reverie was given the unique opportunity of being one of the few online publications to photograph the Galitzine 2014 fall/winter collection.
