Anya Ponorovskaya, Designs Befitting…You

“I have so many different sides, I can never see being just one thing.” That quote is a great starting point in understanding Anya Ponorovskaya one of New York’s fastest rising fashion stars. In her short 5 years as a designer she has opened three stores and is eyeing her fourth. Anya’s designs are, in her own words, “feminine, powerful, and elegant with a little hint of sexy.” The hallmark of all of her clothing is her great talent for creating fitted and shapely designs. Anya bases much of her design aesthetic on balancing negative and positive space. When she visualizes her designs she sees the garments in three dimensions which gives her an advantage in creating fashions that utilize different elements to balance each other. For example, volume in the shoulders and bust is beautifully balanced by a tighter area that hugs the midsection. The genius of Ponorovskaya’s designs is that she always maintains comfort and never compromises movement. Even where her clothes fit and slim the female form they are still comfortable. “My fashions sell in all sizes”, says Ponorovskaya. This is due to the fact that they perform her intended effect regardless of their size.

“I don’t get inspired”, says Ponorovskaya. Her non-traditional approach results in a very open creative process. She works each season in a wide variety of shapes and materials. On the surface this seems to create the lack of a signature “look” but it is in her incredible attention to the effect that her designs have on a woman’s body that the unifying theme in her collections emerges. Every one of fashion’s traditional shapes that she creates is transformed into something that is unmistakably hers. “My fashions sell in all sizes”, says Ponorovskaya, this is due to the fact that they perform her intended effect regardless of their size.

The rare approach that Anya has and the peerless aesthetic that springs from it has now found its way to into her newest venture, shoes. Inspired by the rising tide of artisanal shoes coming from South America, Anya launched her own high quality shoe line this summer. Her shoes are of the highest quality leathers and are designed to be comfortable as well as bewitchingly stylish. If you are in Manhattan please stop by her stores at 167 & 253 Elizabeth Street, or in Brooklyn at 380 Atlantic Avenue. Or check her out on-line, http://www.anyaponorovskaya.com.

Hair Repair: Redken All Soft Hair Products

Many of us struggle to keep our hair moisturized in the winter, and with so many products out there, it’s often hard to know what to use. Redken has come out with a line of products designed to keep your hair at its healthiest. Redken’s All Soft is available in shampoo, conditioner, and moisturizing stylers targeted toward dry, brittle hair.

I’ve been using the shampoo and conditioner for about two months now, and my hair has been shiny, frizz-free and easy to manage. I am noticing a softer texture to my hair, more ease in combing through, and an overall healthy appearance to my normally- dry curls. Redken All Soft Shampoo and Redken All Soft Conditioners contain an exclusive Interbond Conditioning System and Silk- Luxe Complex. The shampoo is ultra thick and creamy, and gently washes as it moisturizes. The conditioner is just pure luxe. Comb it through and let it sit on your hair for a few minutes before rinsing off. It completely detangles and leaves you with butter-soft locks. Following up with the conditioning styling products will add additional moisturizing benefits to your hair. You can choose from the All Soft Heavy Cream deep conditioning treatment, the Velvet Whip thermal softening treatment, or the Gold Glimmer perfecting shine treatment.

Visit Redken to read more about the product line, as well as to locate a store near you that sells the All Soft line. Keep your hair happy this winter… keep your hair ‘all soft’.

A spacious, hi-tech nylon body shimmers against the contrasting black leather structured top and round-to-flat top handles. An adjustable shoulder strap and gunmetal hardware add an out-of-this-world element.

Never has a trashbag been so chic.
