Fall Fashion Week, Day 3

Posted on February 16, 2011 | Leave a comment

Mark and I have been out of town and so therefore, away from the conveniences of home and more importantly I have only intermittently been able to keep up with Fashion Week to give you my favorites. Fear not, I am going to bring you up to speed with the best of the best from Days 3, 4, 5 an 6.

Let’s do it!

Day 3, Saturday, February 12, 2011:Suno, Altuzarra, G-Star Raw, Band of Outsiders, Elise Overland, Gant by Michael Bastian, Vivienne Tam, Alexander Wang, Charlotte Ronson, Erin Fetherston, ADAM, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, Mandy Coon, Araks, United Bamboo, Prabal Gurung, Heart Truth, Kimberly Ovitz

I am digging really, beautifully, well tailored pants. This pair from Prabal Gurung and the beautifully, sort of kissed with embellishment blouse are sophisticated, sexy and wearable.

This doesn’t exactly feel fall, but the pieces from Erin Fetherston were so light, ladylike and sweet that I couldn’t resist. Love the muted colors and hints of blush in the blouse and the kicky, mod style of the dress.

For the urban warrior in all of us, I really liked these pieces from Charlotte Ronson and G-Star Raw. Fall is more appealing when you know you can be fashionably chic in warm and comforting chunk knits, tailored outerwear and tough girl boots.

Fall 2011 Fashion Week – Day 2

Posted on February 13, 2011 | 1 comment

Friday was Day 2 of Fashion Week, probably the day I would have wanted to wear outfit #1 from my packing wishlist. Alas, I am not there, no big deal – still keeping up with each day and sharing my favorites!

Day 2 featured the following designers: Ruffian, Tess Giberson, Perry Ellis, Farah Angsana, Norman Ambrose, Rebecca Taylor, Rebecca Taylor, Rebecca Minkoff, Tommy Hilfiger Men’s, Nicole Miller, Joy Cioci, and Cynthia Rowley.

And, so, without further ado, my favorites:

I love this pop of bold color – the entire collection felt very dream wardrobe for a trip to Italy, but this simple dress was an especially a stand out.

Jason Wu’s collection started with playful menswear and then went into sublime and beautifully feminine clothing and gowns. These pants and lacy sweatshirt were a really example of completely wearable runway.

So, I think it has been determined for certain that the skinny pant is OVER. And, Nicole Miller illustrated just how glamorous that change can be. She showed bootcut pants, wide leg and these paper bag cinched oversized pants that looks as comfortable as they are fabulous.

Fashion Week – Day 1

Posted on February 11, 2011 | 1 comment

I am very excited about this week’s fashion week. It’s a funny thing to be looking at fall clothes when it is still so cold out that I get angry when I receive emails about raffia and cork espadrilles. But in any case, fall runways are glamorous, saturated with warm colors, and so far, so good.

New York Fashion Week started yesterday with the following designers: Lyn Devon, Nicholas K, Steven Alan, Porter Grey, Christopher Raeburn for Victorinox, BCBG Max Azria, Richard Chai LOVE, Vena Cava, Duckie Browne, Jenni Kayne, Whit, Wes Gordon, Luca Luca, Mara Hoffman, Marlon Gobel, Tadashi Shoji, Hyden Yoo, Rachel Comey, the Vessel. by lois, Alisha Trimble, Wayne, Dominic Louis, Kate Ermilio, Christian Siriano, Irina Shabayeva and Tim Hamilton.
