Harlem Style Redefined/ Candy Furs & Sexy

I have lived in many places on this earth during my career as a fashion designer. From the finding inspiration in the countrysides of Japan, to roaming aimlessly in the mysterious back alleys of China Town in NYC, looking for exotic fashion finds and 'knick-knacks' that most people never discover. When I travel to a city, I always ask around to find the more 'fashionable' sections of that city. From San Francisco to Los Angeles, I am always drawn to parts of these cities that inspire me as a designer. I have lived in NYC for over 23 years, seen much of what this city has to offer and find so much of her inspiring. One district of Manhattan inspires me the most, and that is Harlem. In these looks, I wanted to explore candy colored faux furs (animal friendly ofcourse), beautiful,textured boucle' jackets reminiscent of the iconic Chanel boucle' jackets, and supremely cut suits. All would be accessorized with modern pocket books, clutches and shoes that were vivid in color and textures. The end look would be imaginative, statuesque, and stylish, fit for a daring woman that desires to make and entrance, uttering one word.
