Erin Barr AW 2013

Last season Erin Barr absolutely blew me away with her SS 2013 presentation (see here).

It was her first show at New York Fashion Week... as well as mine.

This past Thursday I attended her first runway show at NYFW (my first of the week) and was equally amazed at her AW 2013 collection.

    

While keeping true with the seductive, Femme Fatale look of her last collection, 

this season she has created a standout collection with more of a masculine/tomboy edge.

   

Here are my favorite looks from the show:

Cutouts, leather, and sexy thigh-high slits abound, this collection was created for the strong, confidant woman.  A woman who doesn't need a lot of glitz and glamour.  Models walked down the runway with slicked back hair, minimal makeup and no jewelry whatsoever.  Making the outfit they were wearing stand alone to speak for itself. 

Calm Before The Storm...

 

Zara coat, Uniqlo by Pantone cashmere sweater, H&M shorts, H&M tights, Crown Vintage boots, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Forever 21 scarf, thrifted earrings, Michael Kors earmuffs, Fownes leather gloves

...the storm that is New York Fashion week anyway.

Today was the last normal, fairly calm day before a crazy, hectic (yet, fun filled) week that lies ahead for me.

Tomorrow I'm starting my 2nd NYFW experience (couldn't get off from work to do so today).  And the next few days will be filled with runway shows, presentations, and to top it all off apartment hunting.  So I'll probably be looking a lot like I do in that last picture if you happen to see me.

Wish me luck!

Erin Bar SS2013

Late 50's, femme fatale was the vibe of Erin Barr's spring/summer 2013 presentation at New York Fashion Week.  The black, white, & red theme keeps each look classic while cut-outs, leather, & thigh high slits provided a modern edge.

Cateye glasses, clean angles, unexpected details, side-swept updos, & pops of red...

it's no wonder Erin Barr's collection was one of my favorites so far.
