From Milan Runways to Tempe Moxy

By 4chionlifestyle | June 23, 2018

The Moxy Hotel welcomed the community to experience this new boutique hotel. Marriott working with 27/7 Hotels has created a hotel with a modern-day experience. The evening filled with an Italian theme event from food to fashion.

The lobby filled with a warm home-style setting. Check-in is actually the bar. Take a moment to look up at the ceiling as you wait for the drink you ordered. This ceiling came from a fence found in Kansas City. Upon receiving your drink you can find many locations to enjoy your drink.

The lobby filled with comfortable areas to enjoy a quiet moment, watch the guest check in on Instagram on a large screen, enjoy the workspace, write on the giant chalkboard, enjoy Pac-Man or other video games, or play a board game or two. Each area filled with great motivational thoughts and art. The hotel set for the traveler to enjoy a more independent experience.

The rooms are keyless and their self-service food areas. The furnishing is a collaboration with Marriott and Ikea. The furnishing is simple and comfortable. There is a nice sitting area, bed, work desk, and television. This design is a more contemporary feel and set to work with the Millennial traveler. The evening provided a great opportunity to experience the elevator that is set as a photo booth for selfies, community, music, art, and fashion.

The evening feature VH1 Save the Music. An organization that provides funding for continued music education and opportunities for musicians. Chris G Band performed poolside while guest enjoyed the Italian themed food. The community enjoyed the amenities and visiting with each other during the evening.

The evening ended with a great fashion show put together by Phoenix Fashion Week. Frank James, stylist team lead, said the styling for the show was a 70 and 80s inspired with a tribute honor to Prince. Frank has worked with Phoenix Fashion Week for four years. He made the adjustment to fashion after putting together fashion shows in high school and college. He has produced, trained models, and taught the catwalk. The models were well casted and came with various backgrounds.

Ali Aungst, a model with Ford Robert Black Agency, started with Phoenix Fashion Week’s boot camp last year. She has walked in last years October show. Her one piece of advice is to be true to your personal style. Her favorite colors to wear are black and grey. She is looking forward to the upcoming year as a model.

Caylee Cottrell, an independent model, she loves to do on stage. She began dancing when two and made a natural progression. She finds the runway a place to present great art and bring emotion to the runway experience. Her runway experience has been LA Fashion Week, headshots, and more. She has always felt comfortable on stage performing and modeling is a great addition.

Justin Ford, an independent model, is taking on a reinvention. He started with Phoenix Fashion Week. He has found the organization to be support and a step into the industry. He says, “the industry has provided such great energy and positive reinforcement. His one great piece of advice is men should take the time to present their best self, even if this means concealing a few marks on your face.

The runway presented a great collection of retro 70s and 80s clothing with exceptional models. Phoenix Fashion Week provides a way for models, stylists, and designers to understand and learn the fashion business.

The Moxy in Tempe will be a great hotel addition to Tempe and Phoenix. This will give a more independent place to work, relax, and retreat. Keep an eye on our social media for continued updates and images on this hotel. What are your favorite of the hotel and the runway? Post your response below.

Szilvia Juhasz In Harmony with Nature fashion collection’s inspiration is Balázs Czakó’s Hungarian and Icelandic landscape photos. These photos bring the full inspiration and goals with this collection. The dresses bring nature to those wearing the dresses. Many can pay attention to the beautiful values of our world by seeing the dress each model has on the runway.

Each dress is one of Czakó’s photos from the landscape. The model is welcome to express the feelings, mood and the love of nature. Femininity has a strong emphasize by the perfect harmony of the unique silhouette and the design. The harmony between this wonderful planet we live on and the need for preservation is found in each unique design.

The best fabrics for photography printing include satin, terry silk, and duchess satin. The other fabrics to compliment this collection include embroidered tulle lace for a sleeve, stretch velvet for top, muslin, crystal tulle for skirt. The colors, accessories, and styling continue to mirror the inspiration for this collection. A richness and elegance extend from the photos to the dresses. The harmony continues to flow through the entire collection. The collection presented at Fashion Designers and Craft maker’s Collections Presentation in aid of Angelman Syndrome. Each design brings the photos to harmony the designs are:

Mirror-Mirror: the blue shade of the River Danube and the waves continue in the ruffled skirt.

Swans Sunset: the photo was taken in the sunset in Hungary. The shades of rust, orange and grey are pictures by the top of the dress covered in crystal tulle.

Celestial War: the colors of the Lake Balaton (the largest lake in Hungary and in Central Europe) and the sky before rain are fascinating. The shade of blue flows over to the breast and the perfect green of the lake continues in the color of the skirt. The several layers of the skirt symbolize the soft waves of the water.

Golden Hour: this photo also at the Lake Balaton which is sparkling gold in the sunset. The glittering golden crystal tulle skirt emphasizes the colors of the lake.

Flash: the black slinky dress (ruffled stretch) symbolizes the darkness of the storm, and the long, loose sleeves wear the photo itself where the lightning makes the photo dark violet.

Skyfall: a stormy sunset captured in the photo of the skirt. The black velvet top symbolizes the dark sky and the lacy sleeves are the patches of clouds.

On The Move: The photo seen around the waist of the dress made in Iceland. The upper part ends in a crystal white tulle neck strap. The skirt is also crystal white tulle that is the symbol of the dazzling white of the snow and ice.

Ice Cave: The photo was also made in Iceland with a special shade of the ice blue. The sparkling blue crystal tulle veil is embracing the dress and its wearer.

Juhasz Szilvia Young Designers Awards 4Chion Lifestyle a — Juhász Szilvia Fashion

Zimmermann ~ Victorian Wild West Earth Tones Hit NYFW Runway

By 4chionlifestyle | February 13, 2018

Zimmermann hits the New York Fashion Week (NYFW) autumn-winter 2018 runway with a dedication to the earth, Victorian, and strong women. This fashion collection takes a step to Westworld with the tones, colors, unbridled beauty, and western styling.

Zimmermann NYFW 4Chion Lifestyle FW18 c — Zimmermann NYFW FW18

The collection brings a strong sense of powerful women during the Victorian period. The fabrics include wool, sartorial, and buttery leather. These fabrics brought a masculinity feel while keeping it feminine the strong presence.

The styling is very earthly taking a woman to the strength she possesses and the power to embrace the freedoms a woman should enjoy. Hats tie over the shoulder, bomber jackets, riding pants, shearling coats, over the knee boots, and the glamorous boots show her soft feminine side while being tough for what the wilderness hold.

The designs are strong Victorian with a hint of the 1980s. The earth tones draw in the southwestern US and soft colors bring a romance to the fashion. This collection brings a strong modern edge to the old. Nicky Zimmermann takes a little step from her traditional bohemian fashion, but there are hints if you look real close to some of the pieces you will see the ruffles and crocheting. Simple and pure really add to the earthy look.

This collection will bring ready-to-wear and simplicity to your fall-winter fashion.
