Hey folkes, last week we attended the Katya Leonovich Fall 2012 Presentation at Lincoln Center in Manhattan. In our Fashion Shows chapter you can get some more information about her newest collection in case you missed this post.
We had the chance to get a quick video interview with Katya Leonovich where she is talking about her inspiration of her new Fall/ Winter 2012 collection. Here we go:
The Edwardian Style comes from the olden days and is a certain style to describe a certain fashion periode. But what exactly does it mean?
Must known fashion term #17: Edwardian Style
The Edwardian era or period which corresponds to the French Belle Epoqueperiod, covers the reign of King Edward VII, 1901 to 1910. The fashion style that was named after him, only worn by men in that Edwardian time, was influenced by the art and fashions of continental Europe perhaps because of the King’s fondness for travel. It featured tapered trousers, long jackets and fancy waist coats.
It is also safe to say that the certain Edwardian style which was wasteful of material and only affordable by the upper class was recognized by its cuffs on jacket sleeves and extra length on the jackets. The very tight corset was modified, and later its everyday wearing was gradually abandoned.

Last night we attended the Nomia Fall 2012 presentation which took place at “The Box” at Lincoln Center in New York.
The focus of Nomia’s collection was to show the chic, sophisticated and empowered woman. Yara Flinn, Nomia’s head designer therefore was showing a lot of classy dresses – long sleeved, without sleeves and sometimes with a finishing on the top that looked like a blouse. There were just a few leather jackets, two very sexy, seethrough leggings and even a slouchy, trendy pants in her collection. I would have loved to see more of these egdy designs which in my opinion would have made the collection much more outstanding.
The color palette was actually great – she used a lot of different colors like beige, red, olive green, blue and even pink which coddled up the too classy designs.
The flamboyant jewelry designer Heidi Gardner celebrated her first collection Creature Couture in New York City. The whimsical, dark, dangerous and sexy debut collection is inspried by both life and death. The designer believes that jewelry isn’t just an accessory but more an expression of everyone’s own personality. In fact it’s the idea that every human being has an inner creature fighting to cut loose from the standard, boring society.
Let me be completely honest with you – when I first got the invite I didn’t know what to expect but wanted to give it a shot anyway. I have to admit Heidi Gardner’s jewelry event at the Hotel Americano in Manhattan was the most memorable and interesting presentation I’ve ever seen.
It all started with an elevator ride to a hotel room for an intimate tour of the “Chop Shop”. I was literally flabbergasted when I saw the ongoing projection of the jewelry designs styled on organs, such as a heart, liver and tongue. The hotel room looked almost like a murder scene, blood covered walls and spattered floors, masked models who were wearing Heidi’s fearless jewelry designs resting on various organs spilling out of them.
It was amazing and I think you couldn’t have done a better job in transforming her inspiration in that presentation. Really well done Heidi!
On the second day of New York’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, Katya Leonovich showcased her Fall 2012 collection at Lincoln Center. The Box, where the presentation took place was set up as a stationary display, showcasing the models on pedestals throughout the space with Leonovich’s colorful paintings (she’s also a painter, hence all the splashes of colors in her collections) hanging as their backdrop.
Katya Leonovich’s pieces were all wearable. The combination of leather and python patterns was just perfect to create an edgy and feminine look for the stylish woman. Not only was the designer playing with metallic, colorful prints and patterns but she also focused on a black, violet, olive, copper and white color palette in her current Fall/Winter 2012 collection. Since I’m a huge fan of the shoe designer Michael Antonio, I immediately recognized that Leonovich finished off all of her looks with his shoes.
Great job Katya. Keep it up! And for all of you who couldn’t attend her fall 2012 presentation here are some pictures of her beautiful designs.

Tibi’s fashion designer Amy Smilovic sent her Fall 2012 collection down the runway last Saturday, February 11th at Lincoln Center in New York. Effortless was her message for this season since minimalism and menswear played a central role – delivered through oversized wool coats, cropped sloutchy pants and structured crew-neck tops. Also, the colors black and cream/beige dominated her Fall collection.
Overall it was a great show, the clothes were absolutly wearable and therefore Tibi’s designer is on the right road. Two thumbs up for her!
