Top New Fashion Brand for 2010

1 Comment

American Apothecary

I simply love, love, love how American Apothecary’s fuses American pharmaceutical iconography to create a visual statement about the choices we make. I also love, love, love the quality of their merchandise.  Besides creating an eco-friendly line of T-shirts that are a guaranteed conversation piece, they also give 10% of their profits to drug outreach programs.  Someone call Dr. Drew Pinsky and VH1, because I’m addicted.  To view more of F.A.M.E NYC’s article about this bold new brand, check out https://famenycmagazine.com/2010/12/09/american-apothecary-adds-a-new-voice-to-fashion/.

Top Designer for 2010

Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren is not only a fashion deity; he is also a New York treasure.  This Bronx native has created legions of devoted customers and provided a staple brand that represents the best of American fashion.  For Fall 2010, Ralph Lauren provided Edwardian-inspired romance mixed in with a little boho chic.   For Spring 2011, he went back to the range and sent Bonanza sexy down the runway at New York Fashion Week.  The west is a familiar place for Ralph Lauren and no one interprets American style better than him.  To view Ralph Lauren’s Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 shows, check out the following F.A.M.E NYC links, https://famenycmagazine.com/2010/02/20/ralph-lauren-fall-2010/

Top Moment in Times Square for 2010

1 Comment

Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs

 

I spend a lot of my time walking the streets of Times Square, navigating through the cavalcade of tourists and spectators.  I have had quite a few special moments in Times Square this year, but my top moment was going to visit Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibit at the Discovery Times Square Exposition.  Walking into the theatres of Times Square, transported one can be anywhere or to any period of time, but to actually be able to view artifacts that have survived for centuries had a profound effect on me.  It was humbling and extraordinary; a day I will never forget. 

Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs will be leaving The Big Apple soon, returning to the land of the Nile permanently.  If you don’t get a chance to see it, you can always read F.A.M.E NYC’S review of this magnificent display of antiquity,  http:/famenycmagazine.com/?s=King+Tut&searchbutton=go%21/ .

F.A.M.E NYC wishes you a New Year that is full of abundance and prosperity.  2010 is in the record books and as I reflect on the year that was, I feel it is my duty to chime in and share my thoughts on what I feel was the best fashion, art, music and entertainment New York City had to offer.  Hope you will enjoy walking down memory lane as I review F.A.M.E NYC  TOP 2010.
