Previewing Neiman Marcus’ fall fashions
(from FrolicHawaii.com 8/10/15 – Amanda Stevens)
With fall just around the corner, I got an up-close look at some of Neiman Marcus’ hottest fall trends from Giorgio Armani, Armani Collezioni and Eileen Fisher. A trunk show and a runway show last Saturday previewed looks for when the weather finally begins to cool off.
As the daughter of a designer/art buff, I grew up hearing all about art history. So I was thrilled to have a girls day out with Mom to check out the Giorgio Armani and Armani Collezioni trunk show because some of the pieces were inspired by brushstrokes in Marc Chagall paintings.

Next, Eileen Fisher’s 2015 fall collection was showcased at a Neiman Marcus runway show. I absolutely love the designer’s use of sustainable fibers, certified dying practices and recycling in its fashions. I’m also a big fan of this collection’s simplicity, versatility and light fabrics that layer with ease — minimalist fashion done right. Here’s a look at some of my fave pieces:

Tweed long jacket, organic cotton and cashmere jewel neck top and organic cotton boyfriend jean.

Terry funnel neck crop top, organic cotton long tank and slouchy slim ankle pant.

Merino stripe bateau neck long top and silk Georgette crepe wide leg ankle pant.

Undyed cashmere turtleneck short sleeve tunic and calf length pencil skirt.

Cashmere box top, silk Georgette crepe scoop neck tank and organic cotton stretch denim leggings.

Viscose jersey v-neck racerback dress and sandwashed silk habutai full-length dress.

Fabulous finale walk.
