FFFWEEK-Hal Rubenstein and Marla Wynne collection preview

Day 5 of Full Figured Fashion Week was really day one for me, and wow it was an amazing first day! I went to The Nation Designs studio, who manufactures both Hal Rubenstein’s and Marla Wynne’s collections. Oh and of course I met the designers as well.

Marla’s collection can be described as comfortable chic. One of my favorite pieces was this structured jacket with waffle like fabric. It felt tailored, but totally wearable. Modeled by Sue of Suestyle.com you can see the details and the gorgeous texture.20150618_165251

Hal Rubenstein’s collection is on the edgier side with angled cuts seen in his peplum, waist length blazers. Living in Florida I gravitate towards floral and bright prints, so I ran straight to this palm tree print dress, which still has a modern flare styled with the quilted jacket.

The event was also an opportunity to meet other bloggers and I totally had several fan girl moments.
