Noir et Blanc NYC: Cocktails and Couture with Anni Kuan

Hot Couture...

By: JaTawn

Former model and stylist Deborah Koenigsberger opened a upscale woman's clothing boutique called Noir et Blanc NYC featuring a distinctive mix of fashion-forward and classic European collections. On September 11th, 2014 Noir et Blanc celebrated it's 25th year aniversary Cocktails and Couture with Anni Kuan Fall 2014 Collections.

Deborah is also a dedicated community service volunteer. She opened a boutique called The Thrifty Hog in the same vicinity as Noir et Blanc . In 1996, Deborah founded the non-profit organization Hearts of Gold . Deborah has successfully organized the donation of more than $1 million worth of merchandise and financial support to assist New York City's homeless mother's and children with the goal of becoming self-sufficient.

When  speaking to designer Anni Kuan , she informed me that her collection has been part of  Noir et Blanc NYC for 20 years. While speaking with Anni you can tell there is more than a business relationship, there is a friendship and respect she has for Deborah. She offered a capsule collection of tops, bottoms, jackets and coats. I admired the thought process behind this collection. Anni incorporated vegan suede and American ponte to some of the admired pieces. With this capsule collection a woman can incorporate it into her daily wardrobe.

Here are some of the pieces from the collection.

Enjoy!

The collection

A bright red kimono styled jacket with leather triming and a huge bow that gives the jacket lots of character looks great with a tappered leg slacks, or even a black pencil skirt for a more sophisticated look

A burst of color with this ruched dress is great for any body type and to top it off the ruching detail makes your waist look slimmer

 I love this floral printed dress coat that can be worn with evening wear

A blue cocktail dress that can be worn to a wedding, a luncheon or even the ballet

Cropped pants that are great for work and should be teamed with a blazer, it gives them a more professional look

You can never go wrong with a  button down shirt dress. This vegan suede dress is a classic look that can take you a long way in your wardrobe. This is a piece that can be worn for any occassion whether you are dressing it up for a coctail party, going to the office, or even on the weekends shopping with your girlfriends
