Karen Kane Fashion Show @ Dillards in Scottsdale Fashion Square
Yesterday, I had the wonderful opportunity of attending the Karen Kane fashion show at Dillards located in Scottsdale Fashion Square. I've heard about this amazing line through the lovely Scottsdale Fashionista and wanted to learn more about the collection and Karen Kane herself.
Here's a little info about Karen and how she started the collection before I explain the photos below. Karen Kane grew up in Santa Barbara, California but moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming a fashion designer. She enrolled into FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising) and graduated with a degree in Fashion Design. Karen Kane and her husband launched and shipped their first collection in December 1979. At that time, Karen and Lonnie did all of the sewing and manufacturing before finally finding contractors who would support their growing business. Now the company has grown into a 130,00 square foot state-of-the-art facility in Vernon, California and have two corporate showrooms in LA and New York. Another interesting fact about the collection, 80% of Karen Kane is made in the USA!
Karen Kane also launched a new line named after her two son's birth dates: Fifteen-Twenty. The collection is sold exclusively to fashion-forward boutiques around the U.S, including Neiman Marcus in Scottsdale. It's been worn by some of the biggest celebrities: Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross, Katherine Heigl, Jessica Biel, Miley Cyrus, Audrina Patridge, Hilary Duff, and Lo Bosworth.
Below are some photos of the 2011 Holiday Collection from the Karen Kane line. I actually had the honor of meeting the director of marketing and eldest son of Karen Kane, Michael Kane that same day.
Also, FYI, Karen Kane will launch a third line named Red 23 during Fall 2011. The new collection will consist of casual knits designed to complement Fifteen-Twenty's contemporary customer.
Thanks to Karen Kane and Michael Kane for having me. For more information you can follow @Karen_Kane on Twitter or "like" their page on Facebook.

The Art of Fashion: A View from the Front Row and Beyond with Ken Downing
Last night I had an amazing opportunity to meet the Senior Vice President and Fashion Director of Neiman Marcus, Ken Downing, at the Phoenix Art Musuem for "The Art of Fashion: A View from the Front Row and Beyond with Ken Downing". Ken Downing has been in the luxury chain for almost 21 years!! If you think he looks familiar, he does. You may have seen him in an episode of The Rachel Zoe Project (Season 4: Episode 2) on Bravo TV. I was definitely looking forward (as well as other Fashionistas within the valley) to hear his stylish insights about the Spring 2012 Collections and the biggest trends that he has seen on the runway shows. Below, I posted the top 8 trends that Ken Downing talked about during the presentation which were: Color, Shimmer & Shine, Prints Prints & More Prints, Tribal, Spectator Sport, Allure Couture, Go With The Flow, and Pajama Party! Which of these trends will you be trying for the Fall?
