Fall 2015 Fashion Trends: Grunge, Boho Chic and Plaid on Parade

Fall is our favorite season. In autumn, we say goodbye to the muggy summer weather and sweaty subway platforms and say hello to colorful falling leaves and crisp, cool temps.  And more importantly, we get to showcase our best boots, jackets, jeans, and anything and everything plaid.

Over the summer, Everything She Wants went to Fall 2015 fashion previews for Old Navy, Kmart, DSW and Aeropostale, and two of the trends that stood out were a reboot of '90s grunge style and the staying power of boho chic festival style.  So hopefully you saved your flannel shirts, ripped boyfriend jeans, oversized hats, long sweaters and cozy capes from previous seasons.  If not, at least you have a good excuse to go shopping.

Old Navy Fall 2015 style combines the best of a sleeker grunge look with boho chic and festival style.
Aeropostale Fall 2015 fashion--smells like teen spirit.
DSW has all the Tims, Doc Martens and '90-throwback boots you need.
These adorable plaid bags are available at Kmart.
Be a caped crusader this fall with a little help from Old Navy.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Comes to Brooklyn, June 5-8

Attending a performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is always a highlight of my arts and culture calendar. An engagement with this awe-inspiring and genre-bending dance company is even better when they perform close to home at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.                                                                                                                                         Photo: Danica Paulos Ailey’s long-standing relationship with BAM began in 1969 when the trailblazing choreographer established The Ailey School in Brooklyn and presented his company’s...

DanceAfrica 2024 Returns to Brooklyn Academy of Music

The DanceAfrica Bazaar is one of my favorite annual street fairs. I love to watch folks show up and show out in their flyest Afrocentric garb and to shop for handmade beaded bracelets and earrings from the African vendors.  And when I'm fortunate enough to snag a ticket as I did this year courtesy of BAM, I enjoy watching the kinetic African dancers (this time the country featured is Cameroon) during the spirited and spirit-filled DanceAfrica performance at the Howard Gilman Opera House.   (Photos courtesy of BAM/Tony Turner) If you want to join in the fun, here's the weekend lineup that's truly for the culture.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Graces Brooklyn Academy of Music, June 4-9, 2024

Dance is expression. Dance is spiritual. Dance is activism. Dance is life. I feel most alive when I am listening to music and dancing.  As a spectator and fan, some of my fondest moments of watching dance performances have been witnessing the dignity and grace of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Every time I see the Ailey company, I am inspired, moved, and grounded in the beauty and complexity of the African American experience.  Photo by Paul Kolnik For me, the highlight is always "Revelations," Mr. Ailey's three-part ode to his upbringing in the Black Baptist church. The three sections -- "Pilgrim of Sorrow"; "Take Me to the Water"; and "Move, Members, Move" -- tell the story of African American faith and persistence from slavery to freedom. Over the weekend,  I had the pleasure of taking an outdoor Community Workshop in downtown Brooklyn, where we learned some of the choreography for "Revelations." I beamed from ear to ear...
