Last Show: Louis Vuitton SS2011
Alas, it’s always sad when Fashion Week ends, so I’ve been delaying this post for weeks. But on the last day in Paris, the Louis Vuitton show capped off the week, and a number of interesting models, celebs and fashion people made the scene.
A model leaves the show in a dramatic black fur cape, long black skirt and black felt hat. (more…)

Chloe SS2011
Chloe’s autumn/winter 2010 collection has already proved highly influential this fall with its wide-legged trousers and camel coats, so the spring/summer 2011 show was a must-see for many. The distinctive colors of Chloe’s fall line were on display on the guests in the Tuileries.

Oscar de la Renta SS2011
This season’s Oscar de la Renta show was particularly exciting – it took place during Brooklyn Tornado! You will see the sky get darker throughout these photos – that was not nightfall but the storm coming in. Fortunately we were on Park Avenue and avoided the actual tornado – but for some, it still meant running through a crazy thunderstorm while clad in Oscar de la Renta.
Just before the storm hit. Absolutely fascinated by this woman in chartreuse. (more…)

Calvin Klein SS2011
The Calvin Klein show makes for great people watching, but West 39th Street outside the studio gets really, really crowded. A narrow corridor forms with celebrities coming in on one side and boxes being wheeled out the service entrance on the other. At least it’s a reminder that it still takes a lot of elbow grease to run this show.
When the fashion shows move around town (and around the world), a flock of exotic birds follows them: the elaborately-attired invitees who land among regular civilians, then take off until the next season. (more…)

Marc by Marc Jacobs SS2011
There’s a very practical reason to go to a Marc by Marc show: to see what we’ll all be wearing next season. Though the high-end designer shows are an interesting indication of where fashion is going, Marc by Marc Jacobs is a line that many people can actually afford. Thank God the designer doesn’t reserve all his ingenuity for his more expensive labels. Marc by Marc for spring included more ’70s silhouettes of his namesake label, infused with the bright colors of the early ’80s, hitting the sweet spot right between the two eras. Outside, many of the guests wore equally upbeat daywear.
Fabulously avant garde platform shoes. (more…)

Donna Karan SS2011
Quintessential New York designer Donna Karan received rave reviews for her last collection, and her latest show this past Monday was a big draw on the fashion week circuit. Chic business attire was the look for this weekday show.
“Greige” is slated to be the It color for fall 2010, as with this grayish-beige dress with sculptural folds, bag and knotted sandals. (more…)

Prabal Gurung SS2011
Prabal Gurung has been named one to watch by many influential fashion editors, and his show for spring, full of bright, color blocked looks and high tech materials, lived up to his promise. A number of high-power fans, buyers and stylists came to the show.

Fashion’s Night Out, September 2010
As amazing as the fashion is at the official Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, you can’t help be struck by the lack of diversity at Lincoln Center. Intentionally or not, Anna Wintour’s Fashion’s Night Out this past Friday opened up the playing field to African Americans, who dressed for the occasion in everything from designer labels to club clothes. (See Eric Wilson’s article on the changing demographics of the New York fashion world – still about a generation behind the diversification of American colleges.) On Prince street, throw in an Intermix party hosted by socialite Byrdie Bell and attended by several more socialites and you got a sense of the actual demographics of New York fashion – a true melting pot of style.
Maximalist style: a leopard jumpsuit and turban with lots of accessories. (more…)

Transition Wear, Fall 2010
Dressing for the transition from summer to fall is always a little tricky, but a few rules hold true every year. Bright colors cede to black, white, and neutrals, and for fall 2010, patterns are giving away to minimalist looks in solid colors. Many women are opting for outfits of all-black or all-white, or mixing neutrals with either. Hemlines may be dropping to maxi-length later this season, but for now you’ll still see plenty of short skirts and shorts still around.
Beige gets a lot more exciting for fall 2010 fashion. (more…)
