POSHEstyle: NYFW Day4 - Grey Maxi Coat

I have an absolute fascination with anything "maxi" - dress, skirt, pants - and ultimately, coats!

This day was one of the most frigid for fashion week, and with my schedule running from Vivienne Hu at 10am to FTL MODA at 7pm, I had to prepare for what was going to be a very long and cold day. It was also the premiere weekend for the movie, "50 Shades of Grey", so with all things considered I decided to go with a long maxi coat I had designed, which coincidentally, has different shades of grey.

Grey was a major color for Fall/Winter 2014, but what was distinct about this fabric to me is the plaid print, which was also a hit trend for the season. I love how the one piece merged different "on-trend" elements together - shades of grey, plaid and a pop of green - in such a subtle and chic way.

I wanted to keep the coat the focal point and therefore styled it with monochromatic shades by pairing it with grey skinny jeans from Rag & Bone and a grey Equipment turtleneck sweater, layered with my black vintage coat for added warmth. Monika Chiang thigh high boots and a Chanel Le Boy bag elevated the look with a classic edge, and a vintage lion brooch and my American Eagle mirrored sunnies added minimal accents to the overall look.

This was one of my personal favorite looks of all the outfits I wore for NYFW because I like working trends into my wardrobe in a way that is uniquely my style, and tailored in such a way that it can remain current even after the trend has passed.

What do you guys think about this look? I'd love to hear your feedback on the coat I designed and send me an email if you are interested in owning one of your own.

POSHE Profile: Italian-Brazilian Designer Paula Cademartori

With Spring and Summer coming (yay!), my eyes and mind have been consumed with colors - vibrant, vivid, gorgeous colors - and I've found the perfect stimuli to indulge my senses.

About a year ago, I noticed Paula Cademartori bags being worn by major editors and bloggers, like Anna Dello Russo and Miroslava Duma, but it wasn't until recently that I realized the design genius of its designer and the story behind the brand.

The Brazilian-born, Milan-based designer, Paula Cademartori, designs colorful geometric patchwork purses and bags that look like little works of art. The former Versace accessories designer has a stocklist that includes Net-a-Porter and Moda Operandi. Her line is whimsical yet structured, with an intelligent and creative approach to style and functionality. She is renown for her color-blocking sensibility and each piece is finished off with a distinctive metal-and-enamel buckle instead of a branded logo. “The aim of the brand is very feminine; it’s sensual; it’s ecstatic, geometric lines,” says Paula.

Cademartori's bi-cultural life is a clear inspiration for her designs. Her merger of two worlds; the vibrant and exuberant Brazil, with the polished and quality-focused Italy, can be seen in all her creations. She was raised in Porto Alegre, Brazil, where she studied jewelry design, and moved to Italy in 2005 to earn a master’s degree in accessory design. After working for other brands, she launched her own line in 2010 at the age of 26 and her brand has been growing ever since. She is now extending into other categories and recently launched her first shoes collection during Milan Fashion Week, and they are just as stimulating as the bags. “Women who wear them,” she says, “will feel super-sexy, super-cool, super-glamorous, super-wow.”
