iuk iuk Spring 2010
Congratulation to iuk iuk!
Scottsdale Fashion Week has announced iuk iuk by Alina Samasiuk has been named the 2009 Designer of the Year. Siobhan by Elizabeth Albert is the 2009 People’s Choice Award recipient. A panel of independent judges chose the Designer of the Year, while the People’s Choice Award was determined by a popular vote on azcentral.com.
“I’m so impressed with the talent and skill of our local designers. Each applicant has a unique point of view and the diversity confirms Arizona’s fashion industry really has something to offer every type of customer. To do this group justice it was essential we spotlight our Top 10 Designers on the SMoCA Nights runway. The show was key for the judges to truly recognize the top designers for their talent,” says Designer of the Year Coordinator Angela Johnson.
The Designer of the Year fashion show featuring iuk iuk will be on the Scottsdale Fashion Week SouthBridge Runway on November 6 at 6:15 p.m.
“Alina Samasiuk elevates jersey. Her iuk iuk line is imbued with imagination and versatility yet grounded in a simple elegance. The designs hug, and frill, intermittently, in all the right places. She infuses a refreshingly understated, unforced everyday whimsy into her clean construction. This is couture to which you want to snuggle up,” says Nadia Mustafa, national style journalist and contest judge.
The iuk iuk line focuses on designing garments for modern women that can be worn in multiple situations and fit each environment with elegance and comfort while still maintaining a sense of allure. The designs are flexible enough to accentuate different physiques and help women to feel confident. www.iukiuk.net
Rounding out the Top 4 finalists in the People’s Choice online vote were Nostalgic Boutique by Rebecca Turley, AGA Couture by Alex Garcia, and RAW by Amelia Walsh.
The 2009 Designer of the Year judging panel was comprised of John Michael Capaldi, Canal magazine advertising and marketing director; Kate Cavaliere Birchler, Scottsdale Fashion Square & Biltmore Fashion Park senior marketing manager; Nick Cave, School of the Art Institute of Chicago Fashion Design Faculty and contemporary artist; Megan Finnerty, Arizona Republic nightlife editor; Nadia Mustafa, national style journalist; and Dennita Sewell, Phoenix Art Museum fashion curator. The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA) and azcentral.com are the presenting sponsors of the design competition.

Dries Van Noten
What a glorious morning! Breakfast at Barneys was just as magical as I had hoped! The store is so amazing. The labels and products are so carefully chosen. The details and diversity of the store and products, both inspiring and comfortable at the same time.
Lanvin Lady. Me loves her pendant!
My darling friends and I spent a great deal of time wandering the store and label lusting over hot designers we’ve merely read about in Vogue, like Alexander Wang, and being awe-struck by timeless designers like Lanvin.
It’s really a must for fashion and art lovers alike, to breathe in the gorgeous displays of haute couture and charge your personal “Hello Barneys” at the register. And yes, we met the amazing Simon Doonan! Swoon!
Simon says... "Hello Scottsdale!"
Take a look at my favorite things at Barneys New York…
The Lanvin hand bag- to die!
Haute Hats
Isabel Toledo dress. I'm loving bright, happy green again this season.
Louboutin Ladies. Dressed in the namesake brand, Barneys New York
I'm dying for this dress by Alexander Wang! If you buy it before me, send me a picture.
The zipper detail on my Alexander Wang dream dress
The men's Co-Op rocks too! Nelson, Barneys associate and local stylist, showing us around the menswear.
Men's Cashmere Denim. Yes, it feels amazing. But I disagree boys! Underwear is a must!
Simon "bumps it"!
