#NYFW Playlist

New York Fashion Week now has a soundtrack

Work meets Play! Fashion Week is always a great time for us. New fashions, friends, meetings with press, endless outfits, standing in heels for hours (we could maybe do without that one) and tons of beautiful people! But in all of this fun, there is still much work to be done and what better way to get it finished than with a soundtrack! We've created and shared our #NYFW Playlist, listen to what motives us through the glamours fashion week season. Beware, we've literally put enough songs on the playlist to last you the week (and more might be added)! The perfect mix of Electronic & Rap, From R&B to Indie for the highs & lows of New York Fashion Week! Enjoy!

THROUGH THE LENS OF SOLANGE’S SUNGLASSES

Winter.Spring.Summer.Fall. If we had to pick the most essential accessory, sunglasses would be at the top of our list and we think Solange would completely agree. Solange captivates us with her carefree style and mindset. Her choice in sunglasses can’t be boxed in either, from wide frame cat-eyes to sleek aviators; we love them all. The perfect pair of sunnies are the element of cool with any look. Headed to the gym-but not really look, add sunnies! Corporate cutie, add sunnies! Nighttime diva, add sunnies (maybe add VIP too)! We’ve pulled a few of our favorite Solo sunnies looks! Enjoy!

OUR TIME AT THE ACCESSORIE CIRCUIT

As many of you know this past weekend, the Access team took a trip to Manhattan for the Accessorie Circuit Trade Show. The show was hosted at Pier 94, even though it was a gloomy day to start, being next to the water was an inspirational venue. As we prepare for our Resort 2016 collection, we had the opportunity to browse through many designer and retailer collections. Don’t worry we documented everything for you! Enjoy!
