NYFW A/W 2014
On February 8, 2014, Venexiana showcased her Fall 2014 looks during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York that mixed a little bit of punk with old-time movie glamor. In a backstage interview with SJ Chronicle's Michelle O. Dente, Hungarian-born designer Kati Stern said that "punk rock tapes are running continously" in the background when she designs. But she added that after working some long hours,
"when I get home, it's so late already that all I do is turn on cable with the old films. ... Whatever is running there is what I watch." Coming across "Top Hat" with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing cheek to cheek "started a whole chain reaction." Many of Stern’s sleeker looks played with proportions, juxtaposing bulkier faux fur shrugs in varying shades of blues, browns, and blacks with shimmering gowns.
