Akiko Ogawa Power


Pulsating beats, asymmetrical coats, Swarovski crystals, sculptured hair and gladiator platforms ruled the runway at the Okiko Ogawa show. Pre-show music reminded me of a Saturday night at the Palladium in New York city back in the day. Essence, Vogue and Zink magazine were in the audience. I knew it was going to be one of the hot shows at new York Fashion Week.

The show opened with dramatic uneven hemline skirts paired with fine tailored asymmetrical jackets. The collection was full of cashmere, wool jersey and silk chiffon. My favorite was the gradation dyed wool jacket. There were a total of 36 looks for Autumn/Winter 2009
