Wearing Black Never Goes Out of Style

This spring's hottest fashion trends is about showing off your most vibrant and colorful self. Electrifying neon accessories can be found everywhere. And as much as I love all the new trends and translating them into my personal sense of style, you just can't beat the impact of black.

Kimberly Ovitz Fall/Winter Presentation

Kimberly Ovitz Fall/Winter Presentation
Bold new designer Kimberly Ovitz at only 26, proves that talent is not wasted on the youth. With her new collection, presented against a stunningly colorful background at Pace Gallery, this gifted lady is turning major heads in the fashion world.

If you haven't yet seen Tron, the 3-D film with a dubitable storyline but with epic impact on modern fashion and music, you're missing out. It was the first thing we thought upon entering the gallery. Finally these sharp cuts, powerful colors and easy-wearing fabrics seen on the silver screen are coming to life. Ovitz admits that her collection was not influenced by the film, but they do share a common interest in looking ahead to the future.

While Tron's futurism lays within the deep recesses of a video game, Ovitz draws her futurism from the works of Oscar Niemayer, a man credited with bringing modernism to South America. Niemayer is an architect who was never interested in lines or angles, but rather in curves found in the landscape of his own country or of the body of a woman, and representing those curves in his buildings. In her collection, "The setting is Brasilia," Ovitz tells Luxist. "A friend of mine passed away in Brazil, so I was very preoccupied with the country."

Camilla Skovgaard Tassel Knot Mules

Even though the Camilla Skovgaard's Tassel Knot Mules ($728) remind me of a man's fuzzy mustache (I think I've been watching too many cartoons lately), I actually do like them. Made from nubuck leather and featuring in-your-face knotted tassels dangling about under a knotted bow, these super skinny heeled mules are a standout. At just under 5 inches, the stiletto heels have the potential to wreak havoc on your feet, but with a rubber platform and zip zag sole, I appreciate the effort in adding some comfort and ensuring that who ever is wearing them will not be slipping and falling all over the place. I'd love to see Skovgaard's Tassel Knot Mules paired with rolled up boyfriend jeans or even a pair of matchstick jeans, a flowing yet tapered v-neck t-shirt, a vibrant colored cardigan and a light spring scarf to finish it off.

Saw Plateau Leather Pumps Elevate Neutral to Naughty

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

Nude-colored pumps are usually among the most conservative of dressy shoe options, but this pair of Saw Plateau leather heels is anything but, being the opposite of understated and demure. Designed by Camilla Skovgaard, they feature an eye-catching 5" stiletto heel opposite a set of teeth in the form of a signature serrated rubber platform.

I like them except for the fact that the rubber teeth squish to almost flat when worn, due to the extra weight of the person's body. I'm sure they're dreamy to walk in though. $500
