F&C's Fall '13 Essentials from Obakki

After previewing Obakki's Fall 2013 Collection last week, it is easy to say we are really excited for September! As usual, Obakki has designed many wardrobe items that you are going to want to wear daily. Below are some of our dress essentials we think you will need in your cold weather wardrobe.

1. Love the pop of colour - which is key in fall/winter when majority of darker shades take over your wardrobe. Also the fit of this dress is flattering. Wear on its own with fabulous accessories to a formal event, or wear it with a blazer, opaque tights and ankle boots to the office.

2. This dress has the right amount of sexy and sophistication. The perfect dress to wear to any destination. 

3. The grey shift dress is key, especially if you are starting off in your career - and are looking for some great foundations pieces to start building your wardrobe.

4. There are multiple ways to wear this dress, for example wear it with a leather jacket, black opaque tights, tall flat boots and a print scarf. 

How to Rock Rebecca Minkoff

Fisher & Company's always super stylish customer, Cathy couldn't resist trying on Rebecca Minkoff's high-low blouse yesterday at our MODERN MIX EVENT. An all year long essential, looks extra chic worn with super skinny HUDSON JEANS. We love how Cathy buttoned up the blouse all the way, a look that suits women with a shorter hair style.

Cathy's style advice? Buy what you absolutely love, and enjoy wearing it.

SUMMER ESSENTIAL: HUDSON JEANS

Tomorrow is our MODERN MIX EVENT and we have tons happening in the store! Treating the store like a runway, Fisher & Company will have models wearing summer's hottest trends, plus a rep from HUDSON JEANS will show you what jeans fit your body best. The fashion fun doesn't stop there - Joeffer Caoc will be in-store all day showing customers his Fall 2013 Collection, plus a rep from Obakki will be in-store showing Fall 2013 as well. Did you get all that!? 

Hudson Jeans CEO Peter Kim's goal is to make the brand a sought-after item, and he's won over a number of celebrities, including Angelina Jolie, Kate Hudson, and Naomi Watts. He employs an in-house marketing team and uses a public relations company to create buzz on the Web. Launched in 2002, the company now has 90 employees and is headquartered in downtown Los Angeles. The secret behind Kim's success? "To create a brand, it has to start within. The whole company has to believe in this brand and want to do it with all their heart...For me, the best decision I made was not giving up on the family business. That sparked everything to come. Make that effort. Don't be afraid to fail. Every successful person has failed at some time."

Never attended a trunk show before? Trunk Shows are set up to allow the customer to be their own buyer. As a store, we are not able to buy the entire collection, so there may be pieces that you love that we won't get for the store. This gives you a chance to order what you want, and you will receive the items in season. Trunk Shows are also great to preview what's to come for the next season.

Getting to Know: Rebecca Taylor

Fisher & Company's MODERN MIX EVENT is happening May 23rd - 26th, so we thought it would only be fitting to highlight one of our top contemporary designers in the store - REBECCA TAYLOR! 

Rebecca Taylor dresses A-list celebrities, puts on shows at New York Fashion Week, and owns boutiques in Manhattan's trendy Meatpacking District and on upscale Madison Avenue. But somehow, the New Zealand-born designer, who lives in Brooklyn with her artist husband and three kids, still finds time to be a doting mom.

Who is a celebrity mom you've dressed that you find especially stylish and why?

This might be cheating since she's not a mom quite yet, but Catherine Middleton. Her maternity style is so put-together and classic, and I can't wait to see how her style evolves once she becomes a mother.

How has being a mother inspired your designs? 

I think you value versatility in designs more...it helps to have pieces in your wardrobe that can carry you from dropping your kids off at school, to the workplace, to dinner, etc.

REBECCA TAYLOR SPRING 2013 COLLECTION IS 

AVAILABLE AT FISHER & COMPANY, IN LONDON, ON

Rag & Bone's Mothers Day Memories

Rag & Bone's Marcus Wainwright

How does your mother inspire you? 

She inspires me with her effortless sense of style and grace. And she's an amazing mother. 

What’s your first or favorite memory of your mother’s style? 

Probably my mother in a fur coat, circa 1985. 

How did you mother encourage you on your path to being a designer? 

Both of my parents have always encouraged me to do whatever I wanted to do, as long as I was happy doing it. I think my mother was very responsible for encouraging me to be creative in general. Having said that, I think they are both still quite surprised I ended up doing what I do!  

What did your mother think of your childhood style? 

Did you ever get in trouble for an outfit?My mother bought my clothes for years! Probably until I was about 14. After that, she never challenged anything I wanted to buy, the only stipulation was that what I wore had to be clean!

F&C Celebrates MOM!

Give your mom or the woman in your life who inspires you, a gift that she can use all year long. Our top pick is Love Quotes NYC Scarves!
