As promised, here it is – a combined look from the pieces I acquired at the Maison Martin Margiela and H&M launch a couple weeks ago in New York City. You bet your bottom dollar the first piece I yanked out of the girl’s hands next to me (well I really didn’t, but it makes more for(…)
I was on the search to find the ultimate trench. Naturally I was drawn to Burberry because lets be honest, the quality and cut of their trenches are unparalleled. In fact one day when I own my dream walk-in closet, I plan on having a section of just Burberry coats and trenches. Seriously. So I(…)
I actually don’t remember doing this interview with Fashion TV – which just goes to show you how scatter-brained we are during the fashion season, but here I am in Milano. A bit silly, a bit goofy. I am not exactly sure why I am acting like this at all, but nonetheless it’s me! Hope(…)
Someone I have known since my days at Zac Posen and who, at that time, was just a budding shoe designer, I am proud to write this piece on Mr. Nicholas Kirkwood.

It may not be a yellow polka dot bikini, but for Fashion Week – it’s close enough. I could have swung this ensemble for Paris Fashion Week as well but I found Milan to be perfect since the weather was toasty and the polka dots felt oh so Italiano on that day. The whole cropped(…)
One year ago, I was experiencing my first Paris Fashion Week and it’s incredible how much life has changed since then. I feel like a completely different person. This also marks the one year anniversary of ‘A Shah’s Life’ which has grown and taken me to places where I never expected life’s journey to travel.(…)
Last night was the launch of Maison Martin Margiela with H&M and it was as ‘Margiela cool’ as you could imagine. It took place in the abandoned 9 floor building located on 5 Beekman in the financial district. Art performance exhibitions were displayed throughout the floors which were curated by esteemed choreographer Anne Teresa de(…)
