Pamela’s Posh Picks: Jason Wu Fashion Show, Spring 2013

Sep 14 2012 ·0

I thought I’d wrap up this week of posts on the Brizo Fashion Week event by featuring some of my favorite looks from the Jason Wu Fashion Show showcasing his Spring 2013 collection.

Recap: Brizo Fashion Week & Jason Wu, Part One

Sep 11 2012 ·1

Most other designers follow trends, Jason Wu creates them.

This sentiment was expressed at the post-runway show cocktail party with Jason Wu last Friday during Brizo Fashion Week ~ and I couldn’t agree more! I am so proud and fortunate to count myself among the “Blogger 19” for Fall 2012, what an incredible trip!

Pamela’s Posh Picks: Jason Wu for Brizo and an exciting announcement!

Aug 18 2012 ·0

This week’s Posh Picks are all about designer Jason Wu.

Not only is Jason Wu a phenomenal fashion designer, bursting on the scene as the designer behind First Lady Michelle Obama’s gown at the Inaugural Ball in 2009, he has also entered into the world of interiors with his exclusive Jason Wu for Brizo bath collection.

No where do these two worlds overlap more beautifully than at Brizo Fashion Week in New York City. Brizo Fashion Week is a multi day, invitation-only event where designers and bloggers are invited to participate in interactive sessions with the Brizo design team and product developers. Along with several other parties and activities, there’s also a trip to see the Jason Wu Spring 2013 collection at his show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week!! I am beyond thrilled to share that I have been invited to attend this event in September ~ three exciting days in New York City and meeting Jason Wu ~ pinch me now!

{Disclaimer: As a guest of the Brizo brand, my airfare and travel expenses will be comped}

I’ve got Jason Wu on my mind, so of course this week’s Posh Picks feature Jason Wu for Brizo 😉

The Jason Wu for Brizo collection features timeless style that is both fresh and innovative. The distinctive matte black finish exudes an air of luxury and elegance, making the pieces in this collection a perfect fit for a variety of design sensibilities.

My first pick is the Single Handle Lavatory faucet:

Simple and elegant, this faucet is not only beautiful, it’s also smart ~ as in SmartTouchPlus technology that allows for water activation with just a touch or even hands free.

The elegance continues with the Tissue Holder:

Jason Wu often talks about combining form and function when creating his designs for the home and no where is that more practically applied than in a simple tissue holder. I love not only the ease of use but also the touch of reflectiveness from the metal finish.

There are several other accessories in the collection, but my favorite has to be the Trash Can:

I love the distinctive shape and the softness of the curves. It reminds me of an inverted flowing skirt on a certain Jason Wu designed ball gown…

Positively swoon worthy!

Last but not least, even this week’s petite oil painting is Jason Wu themed, take a peek ~

I can’t wait to see what’s in store from Jason Wu at Brizo Fashion Week, and of course sharing the excitement with you!

Pamela's Posh Picks: Royal Ascot Hats 2012

Jun 22 2012 ·0

The United States may have the Kentucky Derby, but our Derby headpieces are no match for the outrageous hats seen at this week’s Royal Ascot races in England!

What is the Royal Ascot?

“Royal Ascot is one of the pinnacle events of the summer social season and the racecourse will be playing its part, in this historic year, in celebration of Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The Royal Meeting will certainly be one of the must-attend events of the year to enjoy all of the pageantry and history of a quintessentially British day out.”

This week’s Posh Picks are all about the wonderfully imaginative, must-be-seen-to-be-believed hats of the Royal Ascot…

I love this spirited, bedazzled tribute to the Queen’s Jubilee

These gray beaded flowers are a-mazing

And then things go a bit over-the-top…

A proper English breakfast…on your head??

Did someone say Royal Ascot was a BYOB event??

Can you imagine sitting behind (or beside) this spectacularly bizarre birdcage hat??

And of course, this week’s petite oil painting:

Have an outrageously enjoyable weekend!

Pamela

Pamela's Posh Picks: Kelly Wearstler Fabric for Lee Jofa

Jun 08 2012 ·0

In keeping with the Kravet family theme, this week’s Posh Picks are from Kelly Wearstler’s Groundworks fabric collection for Lee Jofa. I’ve seen this collection in person at both the Boston and New York Kravet showrooms and I can tell you that it absolutely swoon-worthy!

My first pick is Water Stripe in the Juniper/Lake colorway

This embroidered fabric is the result of Kelly being challenged to create a contemporary fabric based on an older fabric. The embroidered threads are stitched on a bias which is not an easy task. This fabric is magnificent, particularly in person when you can truly appreciate the color and texture.

My next Posh Pick from this line is Mineral in Indigo/Slate

I love how this fabric is reminiscent of a batik print with a contemporary kick.

Posh Pick No. 3 is Feline in Graphite/Rose

No matter how you read this pattern, perhaps as an animal print or even falling rose petals, it adds lots of interest when draped. I particularly adore this gorgeous colorway, it speaks to me with its uniqueness.

Next up: Tempest in Linen

This fabric is wonderfully “noticeable in neutral”. The zig zag pattern would work wonderfully as either a complement to another fabric or as a stand alone statement.

Finally, Barcelo in AlabasterI love the organic pattern of this fabric. It looks both like a geode and a beautiful marbleized motif. Lovely, dynamic and soothing all at once!
