    NY Fashion Week @Planete_Chic Part 2: Espen Salberg

    Following the Shauntele presentation at last week’s Planete Chic show, we were treated to designer Espen Salberg’s Fall 2012 collection.

    Love, love, love, is all I have to say! The looks were feminine, sexy and daring. Lace over nude or bare skin was a theme throughout the collection. As I looked on, I contemplated the fancy soirees I might wear some of the more formal pieces to.

    NY Fashion Week @Planete_Chic Part 1: @ShaunteleNY

    New York has been completely abuzz with Fashion Week–and of course, I partook in the madness! Last week, my first stop to kick off Fashion Week was Planete Chic’s pre Fashion Week show, which began with the Shauntele Fall/Winter 2012 presentation.

    The collection was ultra feminine, sexy and elegant, with curve-accentuating lines.

    ABOUT SHAUNTELE: Shauntele is a New York native with the ability to fuse her worldly experiences into refined creative expression. Even her younger days at the exclusive boarding school, Choate Rosemary Hall, found her pushing the fashion boundaries of prep to develop an ever-evolving, ever-eye catching style all her own.

    All grown up Shauntele’s contrasting industry experiences, of having once overseen factories in India, to consulting designer brands on luxury European textiles, have created her palpable desire to see New York once again become the center for fashion innovation. Shauntele embodies the Made in Midtown movement with a collection manufactured 100% in the heart of the Garment Center.
