Hello darlings, Welcome Back to Cognac's Corner Magazine for our Very Special Mercedes Benz and New York Fashion Week Edition.
Shauntele’s
Fall 2012 Collection Shauntele’s
Fall 2012 Collection was a slightly edgier take on Shauntele’s
trademark feminine silhouettes. Shauntele’s collection presents a
multidimensional femininity by combining tailored, body conscious
constructions with details of soft draping. As Nana Brew Hammond of
BlueFly says: “Staying true to her commitment to working woman chic,
designer Shauntele presented a collection punctuated by cubicle ready
separates complete with colorblock skinny pants and pencil skirts,
printed dresses and killer coats.” Her approach ushers in a new respect
and understanding of modern woman’s duality. Both femininity and
function meet to create versatile classics to be treasured as mainstays
in any wardrobe. Launched in 2008, Shauntele’s clientele includes some
of the most influential women on the Manhattan social scene, such as
Ivanka Trump and actress Judy Reyes. FIRMATO
Espen Salberg Fall 2012 After presenting at Hong Kong Fashion Week this past season, FIRMATO
Espen Salberg made its New York debut with its Autumn/Winter 2012
Collection titled “The Scent of A Woman.” The silhouette is that of body
enhancing shapes that will emphasize a woman’s curves and femininity.
Draping and ruching play equally important parts, as do exceptional
fitting and pleating. Espen’s FIRMATO Woman, is a strong woman,
sophisticated and
elegant, at times inspired by the images of a “Femme Fatale.” She is
proud of her femininity, sensuous and always elegant. The collection
consists of Evening and Cocktail dresses as well as Mix & Match
pieces and jackets.
Born in Norway and living many years in Italy and now Bali, designer
Espen Salberg discovered his creative flair for design during his career
in the international dance sport world as a former World Professional
Dance Champion, teacher and coach. Known as the originator of “Stretch
Couture,” Espen has worked with celebrities & artists of many
calibers all over the world. Espen had the pleasure of designing and
making the lilac dress that Jennifer Lopez wore in the famous Tango
dance-scene with Richard Gere in the film ‘Shall We Dance.” He has been a
Judge on the popular reality show” Dancing With The Stars” in Italy and
recently in Indonesia. His experience as a dancer and choreographer
influence his creative fashion work, being familiar with the movements
of the body and the way to let the beauty of dance movements transfer
into sensuous lines and shapes that enhance a woman’s presence.
