Maja Atalita May 23rd Fashion Show

Dear Purettes, as promised in the previous post, here are a few photographs taken during the Fashion Week by Marius Suiker photography of the collections created by designer Maja Atalita from Curacao. These are surely much more professional looking than my humble pics I've taken with my personal cam. Thanks to Marius. Please enjoy!

House of Byfield, Maja Atalita and Andrew Harris @ CIFW Day 3

This is exactly how men can wear print on print! Carmichael Byfield showed his collection especially made for the CIFW yesterday night where we could see a lot of patterned materials from top to bottom...very nicely put together without overdoing any piece. Not only are skinny jeans flattering to a women's curves but these are now in demand for men as well. Male models were rocking skinny pants and printed blazer jackets that are really in style. These are perfect for special occasions where one desires to stand out from the crowd. His collection included printed shirts and pants, belted trench coats, vests, ponchos and colorblock tux jackets. Carmichael started off his show with an Asian-inspired theme which later turned into a full collection of black and white combined with a pop of color printed outfits to later finalize it with a nude see through flower printed button down shirt. You may not be able to see from the pictures taken but some of the white pants had details at the pocket area to give them even more style. To break off the neutral colors, the designer made use of yellow, red, pink and orange. I could see how the crowd appreciated his daring sense of fashion. I only hope this opens doors to embrace men fashion in Curacao even more..! Just take a look at a few pictures I've taken.

Designers' Introduction Night at St.Tropez

Two more days until Curacao Fashion Week - *Day 1* and as an introductory of this special event, CFW will be in the house tonight at St.Tropez (Pietermaai) starting from 9.30 PM to introduce participating designers and photographers. You will have the opportunity to take photographs with them and have them sign you an autograph. Don't miss out because as added-value they will hold a raffle for those who buy their tickets during the intro night with a chance to win a whole day experience with the designers this Saturday, the 19th . The winner will enjoy an island tour and a private dinner with the designers :) The anticipation towards this event is building up and I'm sure you can't get better than this one! 

Have a great weekend y'all and see you soon!

Xoxo,

Boyfriend Jackets

They're In and Hot. Used as business attire and/or paired with jeans and daring high heels,..it all works! Maybe to you this look may be a little too conservative and it is as it hides curves but a tight fitted blazer can do the complete opposite. Make sure the jacket is cropped to your waist for a fine silhouette. Are you a more daring type? Go for the power shoulder or puffy sleeve jackets which gives anyone a stronger look and build. We have a few left from our latest collection still not shown online as we sold many pieces on Queen's day to date.  Each available at FL. 50,- simply send us your orders to orders@pure-runwaylook.com !

Bright Lights, Big City

Bright Lights, Big City.. was the theme that centered the Soho boutique Fashion show on Wednesday night. NYC was brought closer to us with a fabulous busy streets, hunking caps and hundreds of pedestrians backdrop. Times Square was the heart of Pietermaai Mall for the day and we sure noticed the fashion reflect in the models who were wearing big hair bows, colorful scarves and elegant gloves. It was very nice seeing Erika again doing what she does best! A runway show hard to forget! You know that Pure. supports your impeccable sense of style. I always and will be a fan of her eye for fashion. Soho is an exclusive women and men's wear boutique situated at the Pietermaai Mall unit 9 in Punda and they carry remarkable brands such as True Religion, Betsey Johnson, Beach Bunny, and Frankie b to name a few...
