Ninh Nguyen Presents Ninh Collection SS ’12

ABOUT

NINH NGUYEN was born and raised in Paris, France, grew up in Texas where he studied medicine and psychology, and now resides in New York City making his mark on men’s fashion. His philosophy on creating clothes starts with precise proportions, continues with the drape of select fabric, and ends with a touch of art. Your personal style is what makes you different from everyone else. You choose how to portray yourself to the world by deciding what looks good on you and how you combine fabrics while mixing colorways. The clothes make the person which evokes a silent expression. It raises your self-esteem, makes you confident and builds character, while in all modesty enhances the individual. But aside from knowing what looks good, you have to feel comfortable in the clothes you wear. It's not what you wear, it's how you wear it.

The NINH label is for the modest, confident man, the intellectual and cultured, the passionate and open-minded – a modern-day Renaissance man.

Dress without taste and they will remember the clothes. Dress with taste and they will remember the man.

Shecky's Girls Night Out on October 6, 2010 in NYC

Shecky's Girls Night Out on October 6, 2010 in NYC

Once again this event did not disappoint....it had lots of great people, music and new vendors. I especially liked the on-site tooth Whitening System which is convenient for those of us working folks who have no time to do something nice for ourselves. Here you could have experienced everything under one roof from tasting new and delicious drinks and then drink and food pairings to pampering yourself with teeth whitening http://whitescience.com or clean fresh breath system - eatwhatever – amazing breath freshener --- EatWhatever

after consuming samples of Lindt Chocolate which was absolutely delicious while finishing the meal with the Skinny Water to keep your figure nice and lean. You could also walk out with a brand new Chic outfit at a very reasonable price and if your feet were hurting you from walking so much you could pick up a pair of really awesome and fashionable yet comfortable flats from Funk-tional-Footwear booth where the inventors and co-owners of the brand were there to demonstrate how their footwear will better your everyday life especially in a big city like New York. Katie Shea is a co-founder of Funk-tional-footwear and Susie Levitt in the video interview below will let us in on their new secret discovery of ending women suffering of wearing high heeled stiletto's in NYC and /or other large cities. They call them the "CitySlips".

So, who are the CitySlip-mates behind these funk-tional flats? We’re glad you asked… the CitySlips “story” is one of our favorites!!! Having lived in the city for three years as NYU students, Susie Levitt and Katie Shea were oh-so-familiar with the pain caused by pointy pumps and strappy stilettos. Their love/hate relationship with these fashion icons wasn’t helped by the fact that these petite powerhouses both stand no taller than 5’2”.

Susie Levitt and Katie Shea

Despite their suffering, they simply were unwilling to (totally) give up on these beloved wardrobe staples. And yet, corporate internships, subway dashes, dinner dates, the NYC social scene… all of the above led to too many moments of hobbling, near tears, back to their Union Square apartments. The front door never seemed to come soon enough.
One too many encounters with shoeless socialites and barefooted babes led to their AH HA moment... CitySlips was born. These entrepreneurial sole-sisters came up with a concept and design that allowed women to carry back-up ballet flats comfortably, compactly, and conveniently. Juggling classroom term papers and corporate term sheets throughout their senior year of college, Susie and Katie enlisted the opinions of friends, the help of NYU professors, and the time of many NYC professionals and mentors. Nine months later (their baby, literally!), they now have a product that is funk-tional, fashionable and affordable! They’re confident that all of you well-heeded women on-the-go will enjoy these fabulous sole savers.

Once you get into your comfortable flats, tastes some chocolate and had yourself some booze go over to the comfort body booth and treat yourself to a relaxing massage:

Now doesn't that make your evening of girlfriend experience complete? One would think so but do not forget that you won't leave Shecky's girls night out empty handed, everyone walks out with an amazing Goody Bag filled with fabulous products.

So here you go your experience is complete. Just now make sure to get yourself home safely. Do not drink and drive.

Kimberly Taylor Launches T-Shirt Collection with Models International on April 22nd. 2010

The Models International & Kimberly Taylor Private T-Shirt Launch Event on April 22nd. 2010

It happened at the Kimberly Taylor boutique at 400 West 14th street, NYC. You can visit the store which is located right across the street from the Apple Store on 14th street and 9th Ave. in Manhattan or get more information and even go shopping through her website: http://kimberlytaylor.com

If you are in market of picking up some very excellent and super comfortable yet stylish T-Shirts then check out what the Kimberly Taylor Flagship Boutique has to offer. Designed by a twenty-five-year-old New York based designer who debuted her eponymous contemporary line in Spring 2009, gathering instant recognition for her signature staple silk basics. Her collection since then is sold by over 100 retailers nationally and worldwide.
With this collection Kimberly Taylor is branching out into knitwear market with a nine-piece line of luxurious tees, tanks and dresses, ranging from $85 - $145.
The boutique was flowing with fabulously dressed people and few models who were there to display the new line of these wonderful T-shirts. The girls were tall and so were their hair and the look resembled a rock-punk girl from a tear sheet magazine. People were coming in and out of the boutique entire evening and many of them have made purchases to add those essential summer tees into their very important closet. The night was a blast, people were happily mingling with one another and thus the night was a success.

Here is how the evening went:
First the collection is revealed and pictures are taken of the models with the designer with the Make-Up Artist and Hair Stylist and other relevant individuals who contributed to the evening and made it spectacular. THE MODELS
