Backstage at Charlotte Ronson Fall/Winter 2015 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

Charlotte Ronson Fall/Winter 2015 is inspired by the serenity of nature coupled against an abstract urban setting. The collection is a play on the purity of the late 60's sportswear construction mixed with ultra delicate and feminine materials. The palette features navy, burgundy, military green, granite prints and blurry florals. The collection was accessorized with jewejrly by Anndra Neen for Luxcartel, Tights by Hue and Shoes by Quipid.

Charlotte Ronson Fall/Winter 2014 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

Charlotte Ronson Fall/Winter 2014 presentation took place at the Hub venue inside the Hudson Hotel on February 7th. The collection is a modern take on Little Lord Fauntleroy, telling the story of a cryptic and cute women compelled by mystery and darkness.

The handsome, feminine collection features bouclé sweaters, laser-cut leather dresses, A-line jackets and black-on-black leather rose embroidery complimented by elaborate lace, ruffles, sheer chiffon, mesh inserts and scalloped details.

Ronson's protagonist-muse is creative, smart, a tad bit spooky and a hopeless romantic, as seen through the collection's flower prints - poppies on plush velvet and rose print on crepe. 

The presentation included hair by Stephanie Hayes for Batiste and jewelry and headpieces by Tuleste. The hair styled in low buns and black and gold headpieces added to a romantic feel. Skin care was provided by skyn ICELAND, makeup by Yadim for Maybelline New York and nails by Gina Edwards for KISS Products, Inc., featuring red scallop nails. Additional accessories included tights by HUE and shoes by Modern Vice. Music by Samantha Ronson. 

As I was leaving the Charlotte Ronson presentation, I had the pleasure of running into Cara Santana and Jesse Metcalfe. Such a beautiful and lovely couple!

Charlotte Ronson Spring / Summer 2013

Spring 2013 is by far my favorite Charlotte Ronson collection to date. The cool, girly chic looks combined with edgy details feature peplum mini dresses, shells, athletic shorts, flounce skirts and varsity jackets that are flattering for petites. My top picks include the ocean stripe peplum mini dress, calypso dot tulle draped dress with cut-out, midnight leather bralette, ivory daisy embroidered organza peplum dress with leather detail and midnight dot tulle varsity jacket.  

Accessories include floppy marine totes and duffels, herringbone stripe clutches and totes, crossbody bags and satchels, bucket bags and miaudieres.
