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

Fashion Week Preview: Rebecca Taylor Spring 2010

Spring inspiration in the designer’s words: “The Rebecca Taylor girl for spring explores urban femininity. She works, lives and plays in the city. Towering printed sandals and architectural structured stretch dresses are softened with femme corset-inspired bustiers and flippy, fun, pull on printed skirts. Our girl likes to wear her boyfriend’s blazers and super soft cashmere athletic inspired sweaters thrown over top tiny leather skirts. Spring 2010 encompasses playful use of colors, prints and textures. The palette is intense with shades of big apple reds, shocking pinks, electric blues, and retro jades contrasted with desert tans and soft, peachy oranges. Sharper than seasons past, strong shoulders and a new, waisted silhouette enhance the look our girl wantonly craves.” –August 31,

NY Fashion Week: Chado Ralph Rucci fashion show review

CHADO RALPH RUCCI | Runway Fall 2009 Collection-Mercedes Benz Fashion Week… It was like being in an Asia-inspired Blade Runner! Uber futuristic, very slick, the show could have been an action movie, heavily structured garments and lots of technical cut outs, very dark, mostly black, but behind it all was this calming Zen aura that softened the collection. Once again we are seeing solid fabrics but with amazing texture and pattern within. Some of these fabrics I swear were brought back from 2020, they were very high tech looking and again the ultra mod look strengthened that. (See Alix’s photo gallery of the fashion show below) >> We’ve been loving this collection for awhile; please see our past Chado Ralph

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: William Rast fashion show review

William Rast | Runway Fall 2009 Collection-Mercedes Benz Fashion Week… Yet another designer going with the rock ‘n roll theme– this time via Justin Timberlake– but this so far has been my favorite interpretation. Yes we are feeling the 80’s, yes we are feeling the punk rock, but in addition we are feeling the grunge / hipster vibe which helps to tone it down a bit and gives a sort of all American look. First off the William Rast collection is 70% denim which I love! Denim with studs, denim with fringe, denim with black lace, black denim with zippers…..it’s never ending how it got all tricked up. But tricked up so it does not look ridiculous, nearly every piece

NY Fashion Week: Miss Sixty fashion show review

Miss Sixty | Runway Fall 2009 Collection-Mercedes Benz Fashion Week… Rock ‘n roll heavily weighted with an 80’s and punk feel set the tone for Miss Sixty. Denim washes had a huge range from classic blues to greys and black of course, but the washing techniques were far from average - some were heavily bleached, others were very stone washed giving an allover crinkle texture reminding you of your favorite pair of jeans in 1985, colored tints and resin washes, fortunately not so much of the shredding we are currently seeing everywhere. As far as denim styling, I personally was pleased to see the skinny jean still maintaining it’s power, especially with glam rock appliques and over-sized hardware. On the

NY Fashion Week: Lela Rose fashion show review

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week- Lela Rose, Fall 2009 Collection… Finally a show with color to keep our recession spirits up and remind women that party attire should indeed be fun. There is also a fantastic play of texture - chunky woven tweeds with a hint of metallic, shiny silks mixed with sequins, flowing silk chiffon as well as stiff and shiny satin. The shimmer caught everyone’s eye, nothing was flat and it allowed for a lot of movement when on the body. The ombre coloring had a modern romantic effect especially on the pieces that had ombre color stripes from sequins.
