Fashion Junkies: A Podcast

Gustavo & Martina took a quick break from what seemed an intense week for fashion and the culinary world. The passing of both icons brings them together to discuss a mental illness that seems to be claiming lives more than automobile accidents. On a lighter note, the podcasters discuss the CFDA Awards and the red carpet.

As always, below are the visuals that go along with our podcast.

Loved Hamish Bowles look! The fit on this suit was top notch! The lines created a stripe that made him look much thinner! These stripes created an optical illusion that drew my eye in that made me move from section to section with my eyes. They kept my attention while looking at it.

Kourtney Khardashian in Christian Siriano. Loved this look as it kept in line with our current state of empowering women to be forces of nature. This look is slick and flattering but still feminine and delicate. The detailing of the stones on this pantsuit makes the statement considering it is a very simple look that she had on. Thought the accessorizing was done tastefully as well as hair and make-up.

Emiily Rataikowski in Brock Collection. I personally enjoyed the structure of this garment. I felt like it collaborated the structure of a masculine garment but yet was feminine with the silhouette of a dress and the floral applique. I also think that Midi length gowns are extremely difficult to execute and she has a tall slender frame that this completely works for her. The fact that the top half and bottom half are two different looks makes them look like a separates which is also great because it is a look that can be dressed up or dressed down.

Martha Hunt in Thome Browne. Loved this look in particular because it marries the structured tailored looks that Thom Browne is known for but yet looks delicate and feminine. To me this is also very artistic and that is what fashion is about; art that we wear. The boning in the gown creates the structure and visual interest. The train she is holding in her hand that is attached to the dress also adds to the drama in the gown and gives the eye another thing to look at. I will say it is very visually appealing because there is a natural progression that the eye goes through meaning that it starts at the top and works its’ way down and you stop to look at every detail.

Linda Fargo in Oscar de la Renta. Linda Fargo is probably my favorite look of all the looks I personally saw at the CFDA awards. The womenswear director of BG wore a traditional polka dot that most people think is a juvenile print but was worn in an elegant way. This print is one that I believe most people tend to shy away from because it makes you stand out in a crowd. But Fargo does this in a way that is tastefully done. It’s a fairly simple silhouette with the fabric being the star of this show. Bravo to her in not taking fashion so seriously.

Tracee Ellis Ross in Carolina Herrera. Gustavo loves this dress for the pure fact that is ultra feminine. From the cascading silk layes of different shades of pink to the bold black strap. It stood our more than others.

Naomi Campbell in Calvin Klien. What is there to say about the most Iconic model infringe? Absolutely nothing. There is nothing Naomi cannot wear and not make it work. I love the bold red and the fact that is modern but it reminds me of a 20's flapper dress. Amazing.

Cate Blanchette in Monse was the cool chic at the party. The one that goes against the dress code but knows she looks cool. I love this black ensemble with the pop of glittered silver. Upon more research, I discovered that an apron type skirt is layered over the silver skirt as given it an illusion of a topsy-turvy layer. I think this worked great for an event that salutes designer creativity.
