Sofia Says! New York New York!

Dear Gentlemen,

I am very happy and honored to be given the opportunity by Mens Memoir to be involved in this blog . As the Boys mentioned, I usually have a lot to say, and I would like to start with a little report from this Spring Summer New York fashion week. As much as I admire the works of some great designers like Tom ford, Hedi Slimane and Adam Kimmel, today I will talk about the men who made my fashion week so special: Ralph, Rad, Alexander, & Brad.

THE ONE THAT TOOK MY BREATH AWAY:

Alexander Wang: As usual, his collection was flawless with an all white, casual yet very elaborate collection with splashes of gold and discrete prints. The Alexander Wang man is very confident yet graceful, stylish and comfortable . Alexander also knows how to entertain, he hosted one of the greatest parties of the week: a fun fair installed on a parking lot complete with carousel, cotton candy and inflatable jumping castle, a dream! And judging by what i witnessed everyone was enchanted from model Agyness Deyn to M.I.A.

THE ONE THAT I LIKE TO STALK:

Brad Goreski: Don't ask me why, but I am obsessed with celebrity stylist assistant Brad Goreski that I discovered on the Rachel Zoe Project reality show. One of the many reasons why I adore him (isn't he adorable?) is for his impeccable preppy style with a twist. This man knows how to work a bow tie and a green cardigan like no one else, always adding a bit of edge to his looks with a pair of well tailored denim jeans for example.

THE ONE I AM PROUD OF:

Rad: I met Rad Hourani a few years ago at a dinner party and I knew right away this Jordanian young man would take over the industry and be the talked about talent he is today. His show was very clean, his unisex collection drew once again the coolest crowd to the NYC Milk Studio including model Birdie Bell, and an array of people wearing black and wedges (for the untrained eye, the underground arty hipster's uniform). This season he featured two new collaborations, one with Mykita for a pair of sunglasses and another one with Aldo shoes

THE CLASSIEST:

Ralph Lauren: Everything this man does is impeccable. From his beautiful boutiques to his all-american shirts and pants. Ralph is the essence of chic à la sauce USA. Shopping new designers is really rewarding, it helps elaborate a personal style and send a statement, which fashion is all about. But there's nothing better than collecting from established names like Ralph Lauren, you can never go wrong.

Now I am back to Paris, where I am writing you from my bed completely Jet Lag. This fashion week was exhausting yet very entertaining and I am getting to drop by Dubai and then back to Paris for more fashion week excitement! So Stay tuned!
