New York Fashion Week is in full swing, with the best of the best designers
showcasing their Spring/Summer 2016 collections.
From bold design patterns to chic classic cuts, the world’s top fashionistas
are lighting up the runways.
“For me, the fashion [this season] is right on my target. It’s a lot of the
hippie-chic style, the 70s all the way,” celebrity stylist Irma Martinez told
Fox News Latino recently. “High-waisted pants, bell bottoms, a lot of fringes,
clear transparent clothes, a lot of flowing material. Very hippie.”
“(It’s) something that you can go from day to night and look amazing,” she
added. “A lot of layers. I love dressing with layers.”
The Colombian-born stylist said she is noticing that a lot of the collections
on display are offering a very feminine and romantic feel to the clothes.
“This year, more than anything I’ve seen (designs) going back to that era
where we were free, the hippie-free era from the 60s and 70s when women would
say ‘I want to wear whatever I want’,” Martinez said. “I like that.”
Martinez, who resides in Miami, has been working as a celebrity stylist for
nearly 21 years. She has dressed the likes of Gloria Estefan, Ricky Martin, and
Thalia, making them red carpet-fabulous every time.
“Since I was little I knew I wanted to be in fashion,” she told FNL. “My mom
used to sew and I just sat next to her taking the things she would throw and
start making things of my own. So it was something that came natural (to
me.)”
As a teenager she moved to Miami – first to learn English and then to attend
fashion design school – not knowing that her path would lead her to working with
some of the biggest names in the business.
“I always say it’s a two-way street, a team effort. I cannot take all the
credit for myself. At the end of the day, the celebrity has the final word,”
said Martinez about styling different celebrities.
She said it all starts with the DNA of the celebrity – their personal style –
and from there Martinez builds an outfit.
“I don’t want to change it, I just want to make it better,” Martinez said. “I
think that’s part of my success. I don’t impose any trends or anything on any of
my clients. I like them to feel comfortable in their skin, not like they are
wearing a costume.”Read more at:short formal

Local Art Institute student makes New York Fashion Week debut
Deron Shields knew the only way for him to make it in the fashion industry
was to move from Baltimore to New York City.
Since he graduated from Baltimore Community College in 2006 with a degree in apparel technology, he's exceeded his expectations, landing internships and sewing jobs with household names such as Vera Wang, Zac Posen, Rachel Roy and Cynthia Rowley. On Tuesday, the 30-year-old will premiere his collection for the first time in New York Fashion Week as a designer.
Shields, who is pursuing a degree in fashion design at the Art Institute in New York City, is one of 12 designers chosen to showcase their designs during the annual Art Institute runway show.

The show highlights the work of the school's top students. With professional models and hair and makeup artists among the backdrop of New York Fashion Week, this is a full-on production.
"To work with models that are industry standard is amazing," he said. "I would love to do this every day. It's a dream come true."
Shields immediately caught the attention of the faculty at the Art Institute.
"Deron was an easy choice for our Spring 2016 show," said Mai Vu, interim director of the department of fashion design. "His work ethic, enthusiasm and attention to detail, in addition to his talent, made him not only a perfect candidate for inclusion in the show, but one to watch in seasons to come."
This isn't Shields' first brush with the spotlight.
In 2012, he was cast as a sewing expert on Lifetime Television's "24 Hour Catwalk." During the reality show, he showed off his skills before industry leaders such as Alexa Chung, James LaForce, Derek Blasberg and Rowley. That experience led him to stints with top designers.
"It was a great experience," he said. "These are all people I aspire to be like."
Shields said his sewing technique has evolved leaps and bounds with his New York City work experience. That craftsmanship is reflected in his collection.
"I have one piece with over 200 hand-sewn ruffles," he said. "Another dress has over 400 hand-sewn ruffles. Those pieces are pretty amazing. I've really impressed myself."
Shields has come a long way from his Baltimore roots, raised by his grandmother in the city's Highlandtown neighborhood.
"I was bullied as a child," he said. "As an adult, to see people gravitate to my style and energy is a great feeling."
He remembers having to steal expensive fashion magazines from the supermarket as a youngster because his grandmother wouldn't purchase them.
"I was 11, and I picked up my first copy of Harper's Bazaar. I saw my first Valentino ball gown," Shields said. "He has been one of my favorite designers ever since."
Now Shields hopes that everyone will appreciate the strides he's made in the fashion industry.
"I want to shed some positive light on Baltimore," he said. "Not everything and everyone from Baltimore is negative."
