Fashion Week FS08: Carolina Herrera
Carolina Herrera’s fall collection was a WASP fantasy writ large: lots of swingy tweed jackets paired with cigarette pants tucked into riding boots and fanciful fedoras adorned with enormous peacock feathers. All of it was ever so slightly deconstructed and the materials mixed up for a magpie effect. Release the hounds!
The usual coterie of socialites, editors, and buyers attended, plus a celeb or two.
Angie Harmon – stunningly beautiful in real life.
Aerin Lauder bundled up against the cold.
He multiplied!
And he’s a trendsetter.
Layers and necklaces.
Hilary Alexander in Russian look.
A popular black and white coat.
Rrreow! This outfit is fierce.
Acid-bright colors.
Pulled together from head to toe.
A mixture of gray, brown, black, and a navy bubble skirt.
Definitely the cutest accessory at the shows.
Gorgeous scarlet dress with a blue sheen to it. And look how she’s paired it with an old man sweater. Brilliant.
Late for the show.
The high glamour quotient of wide legged white trousers.
More winter white.
Two women in hats.
Intriguing jeweled stockings.
Truly distinctive personal style.
Tinsley Mortimer and friend.
A flash of bright yellow – even better in plaid.
Very dapper in a suit with white piping.
Cheetah fedora and a feathery necklace.

Fashion Week FS07: Vera Wang
The Vera Wang show is almost a
Fashion Week prerequisite because a) it wasn’t so long ago that she won CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year, and b) she still has a hold on the whole couture bridal thing. If you live in NYC and have engaged friends with a yen for fabulous dresses, or you are one yourself, you are most likely already familar with Vera Wang. The last time I was at her shop, a bride was getting the final fittings on a $60K custom-made Vera Wang gown. Yes folks, that’s $60K for one dress the bride will wear once. Which translates to: Vera Wang will be around for the long haul.
Here’s who came to the show.
Sadly, darlings, this is it for me for Fashion Week FS07.
- As for the fashion future, I am shorting:
- leggings worn with high heels (never a good look to start with, even more horrible now)
- leggings with flats…?
- silver handbags, except for the most expensive and difficult to replicate (mainly because I fear a plague of street vendor imitations)
- all black
- leopard
- flats (though summer will have its way with us in that regard)Long on:
- pale gold bags (because they’re harder to imitate)
- silver shoes
- leggings with ankle boots
- hot pink
- weird colors
- bright white
- platform wedges
- drab
- shiny black textural things
But right now I am feeling especially long on bikinis and poolside lounge chairs, and I have a pressing appointment in Marathon Key. Until next time…
