New York Fashion Week



Top four contenders. (So far...)

Charlotte Ronson played it safe with clean lines and neutral colors but surprised me with mixing in more black than Spring collections usually have. It's almost Tomboy meets Cruise chic, could it be she borrowed ideas from sister, Samantha? Overall, well done.


Alexander Wang hit this one out of the ballpark, literally. His 2010 collection evokes an old world Baseball (and as someone pointed out, football) feel; equal parts comfort and couture. The messy side braided hairdo is the perfect final addition to the look. The 'do melded regular sidewalk fashion and brought it to the runways!


Hervé Léger kept things simple with the beloved body con fitting dresses. The lovely, swirling blue sky prints made me swoon as did the chunky, studded, clunky, clogs. The only thing missing? Maybe an oversize glossy clutch.


Erin Wasson x RVCA reminds me of Rumi and KnightCat. This collection, in particular, has a lot of street cred. High brow designs mixed in with surfer, skater, casual accents. It's easy to wake up with big 80's hair, throw on an oversize and holey RVCA top, pull on a thigh grazing mini, and jam your feet through some beat up Docs. The whipped cream? Smokey, smokey eyes!


Others worth keeping an eye on: Rag & Bone, Vena Cava, Preen, Ruffian, Vivienne Tam, Boy by Band of Outsiders, Alexander McQueen, Cynthia Steffe, Diane von Furstenberg, Erin Fetherston .... Check back.

Becca Jane said...

I did for sure love the Herve Leger collection, but I have to admit I wasn't QUITE so fond of Alexander Wang this season, perhaps because I'm a bit more girly, and didn't so much love the very athletic quality that he offered up in this collection. There were a few pieces that I liked though

I loved the herve leger line! The dresses were so simple yet stunning! And Alexander Wang's line was really innovative, I really saw his retro sportswear inspiration.

Emilie said...

I love Alexander Wang collection this season!

Anna Pope said...

Wang so did not hit it with me this season but I'll have one of those Herve dresses anytime please :D

Amy Rae said...

I love these--it's great that they're putting new spins on the already fabulous body-con and slashed styles, and mixing in soft knits and stockings and smooth lines. I also like how the shoes, while still quite interesting, manage to feel more like part of the ensembles, rather than simply stand-alones. Enamored with fall, but looking forward to what spring has coming. Will definitely be sharing this stuff--thanks!

Susan said...

omg, I love Herve Leger's collection so much! It's very beautiful :]

Smashing Darlin said...
