Honor Fall 2015 Collection

2/24/2015

On February 12th, I attended the Honor show held at the ArtBeam venue in Chelsea. Usually, I would miss seeing Honor during NYFW because it will compete with a show at the Lincoln Center (Fall 2015 Season is the last season for MBFW at the venue!) -- both shows held at the same time = double booking is the worse during NYFW. This year, I decided to skipped a show at the Lincoln in favor of Honor. Glad I did -- The fall 2015, like spring 2015 collection was whimsically beautiful.

Giovanna Randall is known for her ultra-feminine frocks, that I expected no less with her Fairytale-inspired collection for Fall 2015. 39 looks merged from a tree covered with multicolored mushrooms. That mushroom theme continued on a few dresses on the runway . Scalloped details were the main trend of Honor's Fall 2015 show. Look 5 which was one of my favorites from this collection showcased a tomato silk blouse with aforementioned scallop detail and A-line skirt.

The fall 2015 collection was a great follow-up to their past favorable spring 2015 collection. My top looks are below:

Giovanni Cattleya presented his Fall 2015 presentation on February 12th, 2015 to media and buyers. After checking in, we were escorted upstairs to a room full of snacks and on-the-go drinks . A nice touch on the PR's part for providing nutrition --- On a long day ahead for us, press folk. Feb, 12th was the official start of NYFW. Giovanni Cattleya was my first presentation of the day. We made our way from the snack room to the room next door, showcasing nine looks --- including his twist on the classic tux with a chained vest to a coat with the Matelassé fabric . Which was a reminiscent of the Gucci Wool Equestrian Coat , but with added buttons on both sides.

I chatted with Giovanni briefly on the collection and this being his second collection, he was ecstatic about the press approval of the line. I happily mentioned the printed pants -- which is one of my favorite looks of the collection. He told me the pants are unisex, worn by both men and women. I would of course style the pants differently!

My conclusion? A modified Wild West meets the Old School British (Men) Style.
