Latin Pop
superstar Thalia Sodi launched her sizzling fashion collaboration with Macy’s last
night at New York’s Gold Bar. It was an intimate runway show featuring
affordable outfits, jewelry and shoes that fit with the diva’s brand.
I don’t think
it would be a surprise to say there were a lot of animal prints and bright
colors. For the women who like to go dancing at night, there were plenty of tight
short dresses and skirts. Cute cropped faux leather jackets were offered in
gold, black and red. Flowing camisoles were paired with leopard print leggings.
As body
conscious as this collection was, there were certainly pieces that were
suitable for bodies of all types. A shoulder baring dress had a more relaxed
fit on top but a mini skirt length at the bottom. A bright print dress had a
twist front detail under the bust that showed off curvy hips but the shirring
and fabric pattern could obscure the belly.
Fans around
the world will love the pricing. I think the most expensive jacket or dress did
not go over $100. The same pricing applied to the party-worthy shoes. The
jewelry, piles of bangles, statement earrings and necklaces were all under $50.
The president
of Macy’s announced that this collection has been Macy’s biggest fashion launch.
Choosing a Hispanic superstar as their collaborator shows the influence of the
Latina market in both style and sales. This fashion show was live streamed on
Facebook; another first for Macy’s. The funny angle on the photos is due to me
balancing myself between the two video cameras.
Unlike most
major fashion shows, all the looks from last night’s show are available to buy
right now (instant gratification!) If you’re on a budget and want to flaunt
Thalia Sodi for Macy’s for the upcoming fashion weeks, you totally can.
