“The Visionary”

Making a mark on the Industry and Inspiring others to do the same.

Troy Anthony was also inspired by the idea of giving new life to clothing from the past as sustainability is one of the pillars of his sartorial philosophy.

“I see myself on the

Troy Anthony

A Champion of Wearable Luxury

BY Kristina Christopher

I first encountered Troy Anthony at DC Fashion Week, September of 2022. What struck me about his collection was that it was elegant, yes, but also highly wearable. Each look could easily transition from day to night. Still recovering from the Pandemic, many other designers presented street wear (akaathleisure) looks that frankly, in my opinion did not belong on a runway. The elevated aspect of Troy Anthony’s designs presented a welcome contrast!

A month or so later, Troy Anthony was kind enough to meet me for lunch and allow me to learn more about his background. Having grown up sewing, a skill he learned early on from his grandmother, he graduated from the Fashion Design Institute before garnering a prestigious internship at none other than Dolce & Gabbana! Launching his brand in New York City (he still maintains a boutique in

nearby Connecticut), he relocated to D.C. in 2022, shortly before we met. In addition to New York and D.C. Fashion Weeks, he has also shown in Paris on multiple occasions. One of the trademarks of Troy Anthony’s designs include wearability, a je ne sais quois combination of form and function. Anthony’s signature detail touches such as sewn-in pockets (sadly lacking in the wardrobes of most women) and expert tailoring make his garments a joy to wear. This is a designer who embraces the beauty of mature women, as well as a diversity of sizes and body types. His expert eye knows just what each person needs to feel stylish and look stunning. While he specializes in womenswear, his tailoring skills apply just as well to menswear, especially suiting. Use of color is another trademark of the Troy Anthony brand. Vibrant hues of orange, yellow, blue, and pink created a

rainbow on the runway at the premiere of the “Ageless” Collection that launched in Spring of 2023.

It is with great excitement that the fashion community awaits the launch of the next collection, inspired by the fun and flair of the Roaring Twenties! Titled the “Vintage Mod Collection,” Troy Anthony was inspired by Josephine Baker and the classic “flapper” dress, which is “classy, fun, flirty, and makes you want to dance.” The collection uses shades of Vino, few bold colors, classic black and white and geometric shapes to create a balance between the old and the new.

Troy Anthony was also inspired by the idea of giving new life to clothing from the past, as sustainability is one of the pillars of his sartorial philosophy. “I see myself on the cutting edge and leading by example in this sustainable fashion movement.”

Anticipate a launch event for the Vintage Mod Collection coming to the DMV in the fall, but in the meantime, you can book an appointment to get your own private sneak preview.

Hala

“A new beginning: Success against all Chakra

By Sonia Mambru

Meeting and discovering her was incredibly imaginative, this great woman selected for this edition in our “Successful People” section. Hala Chakra transforms a stage into a world of stories that need to be told, stories of strong, dreamy and professional women.

“I came to America 30 years ago seeking an education. Despite potential barriers, I found people who looked beyond differences. I was able to go to college, work, and ultimately achieve my goals. Along the way, I was blessed with two children, a boy and a girl, who have grown into very successful individuals. I have never forgotten those who helped me and the profound impact that they had in my life. The positive influences encouraged my success while the negative ones made me even more determined.”

MM4.- How do you balance your personal and professional life?

HC4.- I always approach this balance with intentionality and two main strategies: Prioritizing and time management.

HC.- Beauty holds a complex place in today’s society, influencing various aspects of life, from personal confidence to social standards.

“In the realm of design and innovation, two seemingly distinct worlds collide: the automobile and fashion industries. While traditionally viewed as separate domains, these industries are increasingly finding common ground, shaping trends, and influencing consumer culture in unexpected ways.

The Intersection of Car and Fashion Industry

+ Speed Meets Style

The allure of automobiles has long transcended mere transportation; it embodies a lifestyle, a statement of personality and prestige. Similarly, fashion serves as a means of self-expression, reflecting cultural shifts and individual tastes. The amalgamation of these realms offers a canvas for creativity, where sleek automotive design merges with the fluidity of fashion, yielding captivating collaborations and cross-industry inspirations.

+ Design Driven Dynamics

From luxury car brands partnering with high-end fashion houses to create limited-edition vehicles adorned with bespoke detailing, to automotive-inspired couture collections gracing the runways, the synergy between cars and fashion is undeniable. Designers draw inspiration from automotive aesthetics, integrating elements such as metallic finishes, streamlined silhouettes, and geometric patterns into their creations, blurring the lines between the runway and the racetrack.

+ Iconic Collaborations

Talking About CARS + FASHION

by JM Cabreagui @jmcabreagui

+ The Future Intersection

Iconic collaborations between automotive giants and fashion luminaries have redefined luxury and exclusivity. The likes of Aston Martin teaming up with renowned menswear designer Tom Ford, or Bentley partnering with luxury brand Breitling, showcase the fusion of craftsmanship, innovation, and heritage. These collaborations transcend mere product placement, embodying a shared ethos of sophistication and excellence.

+ Driving Sustainable Trends

As sustainability takes center stage in both industries, eco-conscious initiatives are driving innovation and reshaping consumer expectations. From the use of recycled materials in automotive interiors to sustainable fashion collections inspired by the ethos of electric mobility, the convergence of these industries is catalyzing positive change, paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Looking ahead, the intersection of the car and fashion industries promises to evolve further, fueled by technological advancements, shifting consumer preferences, and a shared commitment to innovation. As autonomous vehicles redefine mobility and smart textiles revolutionize fashion, the boundaries between these industries will continue to blur, creating new opportunities for collaboration and creative expression. In the fast-paced world of design and innovation, the synergy between the car and fashion industries serves as a testament to the transformative power of collaboration and the boundless potential of creative expression. As trends evolve and boundaries dissolve, one thing remains certain: the fusion of speed and style will continue to inspire, captivate, and drive the future of design.

All aboard the fashion express: your guide to Paris Fashion Week 2024

By Frank Mareno

One of my favorite trips to Europe was always France because of its history, its gastronomy, and Paris is the world’s fashion capital. What is the participation of our magazine in this fashion week?

Migthy magazine will be continuously present in this great movement in this industry, collecting information from fashion designers, and the catwalks, showing tourism and gastronomy in this wonderful city. Since January 2020, the FHCM has managed the SPHERE – Paris Fashion Week® showroom, with the support of LE DEFI and L’Oréal Paris. SPHERE is part of their mission to support emerging designers. It brings together a group of brands invited to the Official Calendar or awarded in fashion, selected for their creativity and development potential.

No trip to Paris is complete without a glimpse of the famous Eiffel Tower. The Champ de Mars, the park surrounding the tower, is perfect for picnics in the summertime or simply a spot to chill between shows. It’s also arguably one of the best places to get that picture-perfect Eiffel Tower selfie!

The Louvre is also popular for fashion week shows, having hosted big brands, including the likes of Louis Vuitton.

- Musée des Arts Décoratifs
