NY Fashion Week: Rebecca Taylor fashion show review

Rebecca Taylor

REBECCA TAYLOR | Runway Fall 2009 Collection-Mercedes Benz Fashion Week…

A warm colored presentation of feminine pieces mixed with some edge and balanced with an air of innocence best describes the Rebecca Taylor fashion show for fall 2009.

I picture these pieces on a cute, mousy girl at an art gallery opening sipping red wine, a little bit quirky, very creative and intuitive, she stares at the art with question but really she is wondering why Wendy ever left Neverland.

The soft, warm colors are a nice relief after a lot of black and grey and they are matched with blue tights or socks and smudged blue shadow around the eyes which gives it that feminine yet quirky look.

Mostly solids in shades of berry, brown, ivory, charcoal and then the accent blue.

This was perhaps the best use of an animal print, I really abhor animal prints, but this was a subtle leopard print in tonal brown and black colorways, I could handle it and I actually even it liked it on skinny pants and pencil skirts topped with a billowy blouse – again it’s the edge paired with romanticism.

There were a few peg leg pants – sigh, what can I say, they are everywhere I guess – maybe on the plus side at least the fabrics were very drapy silks and nothing too structured. I loved all the ruffles and self fabric rosettes on dresses and blouses, there were some beautiful knits too – a cream sweater tank dress with metallic woven in and fringe on the hem and some fuzzy fair isle sweaters with delicate ball trim at the hems.

I am not one for fur, but I did like the silhouette created from a tight bottom, a pencil skirt or pant, with a slightly sheer peasant-like blouse, and a big, fluffy cropped fur vest! The skirts in general were all very flattering and looked comfortable and relaxed but made in more luxe fabrications. I would wear 75% of the collection which gives it a big thumbs up in my book!
