Sample Sale Report: Elie Tahari April 2012
When I stopped by the Elie Tahari Sample Sale it was fairly busy as professional women sifted through racks upon racks of feminine and business appropriate merchandise. Looking for a suit jacket or a pencil skirt? You’ll find plenty of options. A blouse with a smattering of metallic beading or a sheath dress, you’ll find it here. The vast majority of samples available at the sale are a size 6 unless otherwise indicated – otherwise from the stock pieces available I spotted sizes XS-M.
The sale requires you to check all coats and handbags so be prepared to shop with just your wallet and cell phone in hand.

Sample Sale Report: Elie Tahari


A few pieces stood out - including this woven plaid shirt. It had a cobalt blue hue woven into the check which popped. The fabric choice was a bit stiff for my liking so I decided to pass on it even though I thought the color combo was amazing.
It was nice to see some actual samples at this sale. In addition to the blue plaid shirt above, I saw another shirt with detailed collar work which had some pencil markings on the front pocket. I also spotted a couple items (not very many) with tears in the seams - so just make sure you check out the merch thoroughly before you buy.

Elie Tahari Menswear Fall 2011
Earlier this week, I wasn't feeling too hot - so Erin stopped by the Elie Tahari Menswear Fall/11 presentation and snapped up some pics. Anyways, here's my take on the upcoming collection:
Like most of the fall lines I saw this year for menswear, the color pallate was neutral and featured greys, black, and earth tones. Lines were kept simple and clean with subtle detailing which is what Tahari's menswear is all about.
There were some brown/taupe colored pieces including the above sweater paired with a great pair of gray slacks and a leather jacked with piped trim detailing.
As with most of Tahari's pieces, there's a softness to his garments aesthetically speaking and the above military themed jacket is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Military inspired clothing for the most part is often accompanied by a roughness or edge usually acheived through the detailing, hardware, cut or more rugged fabric choices. Tahari's piece incorporates the stylistic elements of a military jacket (including the collar and shoulder flap details) but is paired with a more delicate fabric choice and method of detailing which keeps the bulk of the jacket down and streamlines the look to embody a relaxed yet polished feel.
Overall - I appreciate the wearability factor of Tahari's pieces including this wool camel coat with black collar trim.

Pre-Fall 2011 Trends: Cherry Bomb
I’ve previously wrote in Pre-Spring 2010 that red shoes were a definite trend to keep your eye on, but now the designers have taken it from the feet and moved on up, many creating bold head to toe color outfits in all shades of red. From Cherry to Pimento, Apple to Beet the reds are all here to stay and making a statement.
Pre-Fall 2011 was an explosion of red all over the runways, regardless of occasion or fabrication. Deep red tones from Adam, Armani Collezioni and Elie Tahari look great for eveningwear, while classic reds at Jason Wu, Carolina Herrera and Vera Wang look great for cocktails and making a statement. My personal favorite use of red is the top and bottom combos that have a slight menswear feel by DKNY, Jenni Kayne and Thakoon. If you are feeling lady like though Oscar De La Renta, Nina Ricci and Reed Krakoff looks might fit the bill. If all that red makes you nervous though, just try on a red jacket ala Preen, Stella McCartney or Michael Kors.
Would you wear head to toe red or is it a look for runways only?
Adam, Armani Collezioni, Elie Tahari
Jason Wu, Carolina Herrera, Vera Wang
DKNY, Jenni Kayne, Thakoon

Preview Designs from Fall 2010
It was September of 2006 and it was a beautiful week! At that time I had just started my job search in a city that I would call my home and through some random luck and some of the very first friends I made in this city I was able to attend and even crash a couple shows. It woke up something inside of me that screamed, this is the reason you are here! This is New York!!! Fortunately, this season we'll have the chance to attend some shows and it will serve as a reminder why I work in the fashion industry. I have yet to pin down my fashion week schedule but I have high hopes and the promise to keep you all up too date!
For now here are some inspirations and sketches by some of our favorite designers. Hope you enjoy!

“For my fall collection, the artsy, chic girls of Paris’ Left Bank are my inspiration, in a combination of luxe fabrics, clever techniques and cool attitude.” – Michelle Smith, Designer

The fall 2010 collection was inspired by a mixture of 70’s Parisian attitude and an urban New York City girl. With a renewed love for classic sportswear, silhouettes have been re-worked with a twist to give subtle edge on signature feminine designs. The palette includes dusty hues and new neutrals contrasted with military olives and hints of old gold. Fabrics are washed to provide a worn, overly-loved appeal and are combined with cashmere wool suits, leopard faux furs and down quilted coats, together giving this collection an affordable luxe quality.
“An eclectic mix of urban and rural style makes for a very modern yet infinitely wearable fall 2010 collection. Rustic Prince of Wales checks, distressed faux fur and stretch suede styles are softened by cosmetic toned lingerie and made cozy by soft alpaca sweaters.” –Tracy Reese, Designer
Elie Tahari
"My fall 2010 collection is homage to the great women who traveled the globe in style." – Elie Tahari, Designer
