House of Nassat: Yes, the booty!

The 6th annual Brooklyn Fashion Week[end] took place this past weekend. And though it’s just across the river from Manhattan, there is NO mistaking what comes out of BK for that which is shown in the whiter than white tents of Bryant Park. Basically we bring the sass and the slickness and the booty, yes the booty, in a way that no.other.borough does. Not that I’m not open to the Bronx or even Queens bringing it. That I would not mind seeing. But whatever, I have no fear that BK would remain king of all slickness.

The concept of folding fabric all over a dress could have been very unflattering . However, the genius minds of Reno Ichenko and Julie Rouzioux of  WhiteTrumpet made folded panels work  in a dress whose amount of detailing , I cannot take my eyes off of,  especially considering that buying it, still  allows you to pay the bills. The White Trumpet folded panel dress available at Pixie Market. Detailed view on the next page.

When Lois recently got a pair tan heeled sandals, I was reminded of how earthy- cool and universal tan leather sandals can be. Especially with all the bohemian looks, torn denim ,  the hue is a lot softer than black or even dark brown. The Bronx Char Heel sandals available at Heels.com .
