Tips for the Fashion Week Newbie
Hurray! It’s Vancouver Fashion Week, but what do I wear?
Going to your first fashion week can sometimes seem a little daunting.
After all, there are designers, models, artist, actors and the creme de la creme of the “beautiful people” world. Hold up! While this may be partly true, keep in mind the event is about fashion, having fun and looking good doing so.Your purpose is to check out the new collections; What are the “must haves” fashion pieces for next season and the newest and hottest designers to watch for next year. Let’s be honest; it’s also about seeing and being seen while showing off what YOUR style is. Yes, you may not be on the runway but you are attending the event and your appearance is important.
Naz, Stylist- Mandy Carnahan, Shawn Carnahan, and Janai Here are a few tips to get you through this exciting event.
1. Be yourself – You are your best self when you are comfortable in what you are wearing. By comfortable, I don’t mean wearing flats, Lulus, and a t-shirt. I mean the outfit that states “this is me, and I look stunning.” Be current, but be yourself.
2. Trend statements – trends are constantly changing, hence the word “trend.” Changing your wardrobe every season to keep up with other fashionistas doesn’t mean, dare I say… you have YOUR style, it means you are a follower. Don’t be a follower, be a trendsetter. You can get statement pieces that are “trendy”- rock the bow tie, wear polka dots with stripes. If it’s you, be BOLD and own it!
3. Shoes – Shoes make all the difference to an outfit. You could be wearing the most expensive attire and have a poorly made shoe, and it would ruin your outfit. Start your outfit out by picking your shoes than work your way up. The last thing you need is to have the perfect outfit, get to your front door and not have a pair that compliments what you are wearing.
4. Confidence – Nothing in your wardrobe is more important than confidence. If you don’t have the confidence to pull it off, it won’t matter what you wear.
Model: Siena Hutton 5. Have fun – Sure people are judging, I’m judging right now, it’s human nature and who cares? When you sit in that chair and realize you get to watch your favorite designers showcase their newest collection LIVE, nothing else will matter.
6. Remember – You can never be too overdressed. This is so true and even more true for fashion week.

NYFW: Tumbler & Tipsy by Michael Kuluva S/S 17
On Tuesday, September 13th Tumbler & Tipsy by Michael Kuluva presented their Spring/Summer 2017 collection at Kia STYLE360 during New York Fashion Week.
Presented by CreakyJoints®, the worldwide online patient community for people with all forms of arthritis, the new collection, “Creaky and Tipsy” is directly influenced by the designer’s personal experience with the disease. The new collection featured looks highlighting key arthritic focal points on the body while staying true to the Tumbler and Tipsy brand with bold colors, funky embellishments, and playful designs.
The packed show opened up with a special performance by English singer/songwriter Neon Hitchwho performed a medley of her hit songs “Fried Chicken @ Night” ( a song off the new album “Anarchy”), “Ass Back Home”, “Devil” and “F U Betta.”
After the lights went down, the first model to hit the runway to the audience’s delight was Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice’s 10-year-old daughter and star in her own right, Milania Giudice. Additional runway models included Olympic Gold Medalist Dalilah Muhammad, Olympic Silver Medalist Nia Ali, and Asaf Green from “So You Think You Can Dance” who danced and backflipped down the runway. Closing out the show was celebrity reality star and model Somaya Reece and cast member of E!’s new reality series Famously Single.
Celebrity guests included Teresa Giudice, Brittany Fogarty and Marissa from Mob Wives, Teen Disney star and pop singer Ashlee Keating, pop star Brielle, New York night club owners Kayvon and Anna Zand and more.
Says designer Michael Kuluva of the “Creaky and Tipsy” collection “For our new Spring/Summer 2017 Tumbler and Tipsy collection, I wanted to partner with an organization that was close to myself and my family’s heart. Since becoming a part of the CreakyJoints family, I have been inspired to learn more about my RA and continue to lead an active and productive life despite the diagnosis. To highlight and celebrate this, we partnered with CreakyJoints for New York Fashion Week. As someone who has been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), I wanted this collection to highlight my own personal experience, while also bringing awareness to such a debilitating disease and the goal of living successfully, despite it.”
