Within this issue you’ll discover the best of summer fashion, including plenty of white on white as well as a refreshing explosion of creativity. Polished and fun, layers, color blocked leather with studded heels are the highlights of the latest Fendi footwear; a true expression of art and a covetable masterpiece. Run off the runway and hit the streets with these bolder than bold beauties to make the ultimate va-va-voom statement. All of the texture and graphics in this season’s runway is dear to my heart and I have my eyes set on anything-white faux leather. It’s hard to believe, but the fashion world is already thinking about fall. I can’t wait to see what my favorite designers have planned for next season at this year’s New York shows. In July, Miamians get a taste of summer fashion when top swim designers take over Miami for Mercedes-Benz Swim week. Obviously, there’s a lot to enjoy during these hottest months. Hope to see you all around . . .
