Recap: Tribeza Style Week Fashion Show

Tribeza Style Week may have kicked off with an all men's fashion show, but the pinnacle of the week was the main Fashion Show which featured mostly female looks from Saks Fifth Avenue, The Garden Room, Underwear, Adelante, Peyton's Place, Missbehave, Service Menswear, c.jane, Valentine's Too,  Julian Gold, and Estilo.

There were several pieces that came down the runway that I thought were really beautiful, and there were 2 main trends that I noticed at this show:

1) Fur vests
2) Shiny metallic and sparkles

Recap: Rock + Runway Show

It may have been the first day of Fall, but the night was still balmy when Austinites gathered at ND at 501 Studios to celebrate men’s fashion.  Tribeza Style Week kicked off last Wednesday with the the Rock + Runway Men’s Show which presented the newest looks from three local stores - Service MenswearEstilo,  and Stag.

While images of Austin street-scapes flicked on a wall, models walked the runway showing off modern Ivy League looks mixed with sleek hipster-wear. Sweaters of all shapes and weights were featured along with jackets, sneakers, and midi-boots.


Cords and denim were popular pant choices. Many of the models wore a necktie or scarf. Plaids and 80s inspired prints were popular for shirts and some sport coats. Earth-tones were very prominent. Dain Higdon, owner of the Texas Clothier, commented that the look was a throw back to the traditional styles of the 1920s and 1930s, reinterpreted with a slimmer cut and modern details.

JR Salon Walk Off

This Saturday the second annual Walk Off hosted by JR Salon took place.  Boutiques and designers were paired up with salons to create some unique looks.  Here's a behind the scenes and up close and personal look at one of the models from the show:

Doesn't she look like some sort of sexy version of a fairytale character from a Disney movie?
Thank you Anslee for the video!

An Urban Menagerie

I'ts been really dreary in Austin lately.  But I've been day dreaming of colorful prints and patterns.  I've really gotten into the idea of mixing and matching prints, patterns and colors that you might not normally think of matching together.  Sometimes it's nice to keep your outfit as unexpected as the rain.
All the clothes and accessories seen here are available for purchase in your local boutiques.
