Jonathan Cohen S/S2015 WINS!

In a recent tweet Bill Cunningham made a reference between fashion and horse racing, and I could not agree more. Those who know me can only attest to my passion for the sport! I was born into the sport of kings.

I discovered Jonathan Cohen some 4-5 years ago at the Gansevort hotel in a cramped room with a WWD photographer , we both shot the entire collection (the rust) collection. Mr. Cohen has been on my radar ever since, like watching a race horse, and for Spring S/S2015 this collection demonstrates his desire to move forward! Seasons before his ladies loved to party, but time marches forward and they have all grown up! The black gold splash dress stands out and his red carpet killer and he's pushing himself into a more sophisticated evening wear via the floor length gowns. His daywear still embodies the artistic side with his black circle pants; but his blue solo geometric splash dress and black cropped coat indicate a more focused direction.

Now granted this is a much different collection from what I have been used to in the past, and the past is just as good, of note "florals on fire". He's in form and he's moving his way through the pack, but for S/S 2015 it's a gate to wire win!

VOZ S/S 2014

Voz a relative new comer to fashion week showed a small focused collection for Spring, their first as a matter of fact. The inspiration draws upon a earth and a sand colored color palette which creative director Jasmine Aarons found via Mapuche.

Showing roughly 20+ pieces Ms. Aarons did not overwhelm the crowd and kept things focused, a benefit is the restrictive color choice and willfully deciding to show only a few prints. One that stood out was a dark brown organic style print, as well their sweater dress.

Voz might not be out to set the world on fire; but we all have to wear clothing and want to look nice, this line fills that need.
