Libby Ingrassia, managing editor of Houston-based Bayou City Magazine, was impressed with the classic rock soundtrack for the fashion show (which featured songs by Duran Duran, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and others) and “luxurious fabrics.”

“What stood out for me was the detailing in Jonathan’s collection. I loved the rich colors and the winter white. I also loved the Katherine Hepburn elegant, tailored look and the flattering draping of the fabrics Jonathan used.”

“My favorite pieces were the cashmere cropped jacket, the diamond stitched leather gown, and the fox shrug. I loved the leather dresses and the evening gowns that were very formal with an edge. The wolf added a WOW factor!” said Ruchi Mukherjee, founder and editor, Lights Camera Action - Houston Society News.

Roz Pactor, fashion consultant and founder of the “My Red Glasses” fashion blog, added: “I loved the black bolero with the mink. It is a great alternative for a cover up and I am anti-pashmina these days. I loved the grey cropped cashmere jacket. I loved the flattering shapes on the long evening dresses. I loved and can appreciate the beautiful lace mixed with the mink!”

With the introduction of his 2014 Fall/Winter collection, Jonathan Blake demonstrated that he is evolving and maturing as a fashion designer: he is pursuing an international, cosmopolitan audience of upscale buyers who are willing to let their hair down and “walk on the wild side.”

As part of his expansion plans, Jonathan Blake will be hosting a series of trunk shows and gala fashion shows in Aspen, Dallas, Houston, New York, Los Angeles, London and other fashion centers throughout 2014 and 2015. He is also in discussions with several high-end boutiques and department stores about carrying the Jonathan Blake line.
