Bloggers Take Over Front Row At Fashion Week

So when an unknown 13-year-old blogger was sitting front –row at Marc Jacobs, Rodarte & others – long time front row socialites and Journalist feathers were completely ruffled. A 13 –year old, yes and her name Tavi Gevinson, the author of a blog called Style Rookie. This little lady is in high demand filming promotions for Target and flown to Tokyo for a party with Comme Des Garcons.

Lacoste S/S 2010

A safe Spring with a lemon finish. The Lacoste collection was classic sports wear at it's best. Lacoste has mastered the art of wearable sportswear for the masses. We enjoyed the black and white and shades of blue. The yellow sunburst was a spectacular finale. We love Lacoste Spring/Summer 2010.

Julie Haus s/s 2010

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

We have to say that Julie Haus Spring 2010 definitely has great potential. The Circus there was quite a variety in fabrics and designs, and we assume that the “shoes” were to bring attention to the clothing, because it definitely turned our eyes upward! It was a tumultuous sea of emotions.

We are big fans of lace—truly we are. HOWEVER, the “Burlesque-inspired” came off as 80’s Madonna-inspired. This is the ultimate proof that history is repeating itself— Fashion Week is no exception. The Burlesque is being ruminated entirely too much to not have evolved into something great. We encourage innovation.

On the other hand, we love the idea of a Dark Spring. The Wheeler Trouser really complemented the tank. The jumpers and rompers caught our attention. In this portion, there was so much variety that it definitely brought a “wow” factor. When we saw the Hannah Romper, we couldn’t help but smile. It was something different. Everything thereafter had something to it. Within the Charlie Chaplin “Circus” spectrum, there was variety.

We left Julie Haus wanting more, and not because we didn’t get enough; we wanted more because we couldn’t get enough of what we saw. nyfw

Sneak Peek At Tracy Reese Spring 2010

I'm really excited about the Tracy Reese show as I am every #nyfw. She really knows how to make a woman look beautiful. The collection is a study of juxtapositions: the contrast between architectural and relaxed silhouettes, hard and soft, sheer and opaque. I'm sure it will be yet another fabulous collection.

Fashion's Night Out

Akiko Ogawa Power Remix

Every season Akiko Ogawa delivers a powerful collection. Fall 09' was no exception. The stunning runway diva Chanel Iman opened and closed the co-ed show, where the lineup was carefully selected and full of feminine, youthful women and androgynous men. The designs are very downtown chic with a modern rock & roll edge. The collection included gorgeous woven and ombre-dyed jackets with a jagged cut out asymmetrical design at the bottom. There were satin jodfers matched with 7” platform leather belted boots with mirrored heels and topped off with a high waisted darted and well-tailored blouse. The styling was outstanding thanks to the brilliant Patti Wilson. Also the make up and hair were beyond chic thanks to Peter Grey and Kabuki. The gracious designer, Akiko Ogawa, was all smiles throughout the show.
