NY Fashion Week: Ports 1961 Spring / Summer 2010

Quietly gorgeous, beautifully designed pieces that are right on the money for her many many followers The invite to Tia Cibani's Ports 1961 s/s 2010 rtw show, which she entitled "Fleure" - was an accordion folded geisha's fan and it stood out in a sea of heavy card stock and virtual invites. Maybe it was a little literal, too easy a hint at what was to come, but it worked. And when the lights went down and then up, a nice hushed energy filled the room. The models seemed to radiate from a shadowy zen garden. Cibani invited 2 amazingly talented craftsmen to help realize her take on Japonisme: Julia Lundsten the designer of Finsk - whose moulded stingray pumps

NY Fashion Week : Proenza Schouler Spring / Summer 2010

Proenza Schouler had a vision of a collection which I think they executed with sincerity and aplomb.They got it right with their beautifully casual Spring/Summer 2010 outing. Runway Review: Proenza Schouler has always been somewhat of an anomaly to me: Their collections are cool adaptations of what many a downtown girl would love to see on herself. Yet, when the clothes hit the racks they look uptown, cut for women of whatever age who live a leisurely life far north of "downtown". This, to me is tricky and a bit deceptive. That said, I understand the difference between the illusion created on the runway and the reality of the bottom line and the fact that not everyone out there can

NY Fashion Week: Zero + Maria Cornejo Spring / Summer 2010

If only every woman owned at least one Zero dress, imagine how many hours they would save getting ready and fussing with their looks. Runway Review Excerpt: While they do have that studied, arty and downtown edge, Zero + Maria Cornejo pieces are so well articulated, so neutral, absolutely anyone can wear them, and the strongest strength that comes from this achievement is how easy they are to wear. If only every woman owned at least one Zero dress, imagine how many hours they would save getting ready and fussing with their looks. If you aren't already familiar with the subtle genius of Zero & Maria Cornejo you ought to be, because you've been missing out on some the easiest

NY Fashion Week: Rebecca Taylor Spring / Summer 2010

Rebecca Taylor's spring 2010 collection was one of her best to date. Runway Review Excerpt: For Spring 2010 Rebecca Taylor did not deny her fans her signature flippy silk skirts, romantic mini-florals, and bright liberty printed slip tops, bags and sandals. I left feeling I'd had a balanced meal and imagined how easily it would be to fit those pieces into my own color phobic wardrobe. #NYFW My thing is that I can't wear her stuff because I am afraid of pink and flowers. I've always been more punk than boho. I have an androgynous sort of body and feel most at home in black, navy, charcoal gray and maybe some nude every once in a while. And so it

NY Fashion Week: Ports 1961 fashion show review

PORTS 1961| Runway Fall 2009 Collection-Mercedes Benz Fashion Week… Inspired by exotic India the Ports 1961 fall 2009 collection was beaming with rich color, luxe fabrications, metallics and attention to the tiny details in accessories and overall construction. The fashion show theme was set on the runway with a delightful live band playing lively middle eastern music while the models walked. The models’ eyes were lined with dark kohl pencil and their hair was tied in a very tousled, romantic braid - this overall setting created a warm and exotic mood, taken away to India! >> See our complete runway coverage and fashion show photos The clothing was had a modern take on tradition with some of the cuts, the

NY Fashion Week: Zac Posen fashion show review

ZAC POSEN | Runway Fall 2009 Collection-Mercedes Benz Fashion Week… This was the most stunning production I have laid eyes on all Fashion Week and in general, one of the most classically beautiful shows I have ever seen!!! The scene is this: dark runway with 5 grand pianos lined up down the center, spotlights shine on 5 women and men, dressed gowns straight out of Amadeus, as they walk to their pianos and begin to play, their own part, together as a whole, the lights slowly spread as the first model appears in a gown circa 1770… but in fact it is 2009. Immediately you are transported in time watching each piece come out - rich brocade fabrics and satins,

NY Fashion Week: Rebecca Taylor fashion show review

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. >> More Mercedes Benz Fashion Week photos of the Rebecca Taylor fashion show 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
