Josie Natori FW20 RTW

Last Thursday, Josie Natori presented Fall/Winter 2020 Ready To Wear. Unlike previous seasons, my mother in law decided to do a show/ presentation at her home versus renting out a space. The most fun and chaotic part about it is that the models were housed in our apartment to get dressed, hair and make up done. From 10 in the morning until 7 pm at night, our house transformed into a backstage of a photo shoot and runway show. In addition to the show itself, the highlight was having my son and his friends come over in the afternoon to get ready for their dancing school amidst a flood of models, hair and make-up artists, and show staff.

It looks calm at this very moment, but there were 40+ people there. Hair, make up, people who ironed, photographers, etc…

Josie Natori RTW Fall 2015 Fashion Show

On a freezing (think 20 degrees and windy) but beautiful day, the Josie Natori Fall 2015 Ready-to-Wear show took place at the DiMenna Center in Midtown Manhattan yesterday.  And as always, the collection was incredible — details, embroidery, intricacy, the works. A well put together collection of looks inspired by Istanbul; where East meets West. Once again, huge congratulations to the whole Natori team, and my creative Mother-In-Law!

Yes, my 2.5 year old daughter got her own personal invitation to a fashion show. However, this time around, she did not join us, as in September, she stood on one leg, while my son sat on the other (not that fun for me).

Josie Natori RTW Fall 14 Fashion Show

Not snow, not rain, not freezing rain, not 8 inch deep puddles of slush could keep people away from attending the Josie Natori RTW Fall 2014 show! Despite being smack dab in the middle of a snow storm (thank you, Mother Nature), the show went on. And what a great success it was! Such luxurious glamour, warmth, attitude, and chicness. I can’t wait to get a hand on these items! Congratulations, MIL! Here are some photos from the show.

UPDATE:  Mom made the cover of WWD!  Unbelievable.  Click here to see the review and see the COVER below!:

Josie Natori Fall/Winter 2013 Show

Josie Natori presented her Fall/Winter 2013 Ready-to-Wear collection yesterday during NY Fashion Week. And what a great way to celebrate a Wednesday afternoon! The clothes were elegant, chic, slick, intricate, and wearable! Yet again, the show was a success. Similar to previous years, the show was more of a presentation than a runway show, which enabled viewers to really examine the details of all the clothing, as they were truly pieces of art.

Invitiation.

The looks of the models were pulled from the 1920’s era with marcel wave hair and pursed red lips. The models were more fragile china dolls than mannequins. A very unique and deliberate look, the whole model ensemble nicely displayed the drama and complex look of the clothes. The clothes were made of the finest materials — merino wool, fur, silk, cotton, Dehair Angora, lace. And of course, there was lots of very intricate and beautiful embroidery splattered throughout the collection.

Blue and magenta pieces were the start of the collection.
