Plenty of big names have been out in full force for New York Fashion Week. This thread is for what's been happening, and what your thoughts are on the collections... Any favorites?

Oscar De La Renta:

Oscar De La Renta's collection brought dresses of various shapes and lenghts, from crisp spring dresses in floral prints or broderie to floor-sweeping gowns with grecian folds or lace. Bubble dresses and skirts also kept the volume trend going adding oomph to both the short and long gowns.

Jovovich-Hawk:

Romanticism was certainly the theme at Jovovich-Hawk, with pretty dresses a-plenty. The collection had a distinctly retro/vintage feel to it, emphasised by vintage hats and hairdos to match each era represented in the clothing.

Jill Stuart:

In Jill Stuart's collection floaty lace mini-dresses - some of them barely even there - proved that legs are again to see the light of day. The short length of the dresses is complimented well by their shape - giving the feeling of daintiness. Menswear was tailored but with a hint of attitude.

I've been uber busy and even though I get paid to scan the collections for work I haven't seen anything but Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera (which I loved both) if I was going to skip some, what would be recommended?

Personally I wasn't that impressed with Proenza Schouler this time around... aside from the cute tight mini-skirts, not much of it seemed that flattering and the colours were quite dull.

Love the mini-skirts:


Whereas this type of thing that lacks form and structure isn't all that flattering:


And this is rather unglamourous, I'd expect to wear it out camping more so than at fashion week:

Anna Sui:

Dresses that might belong on pretty porcelain dolls, with short full skirts and beautifully bold patterns; rock-chic accessories like slouchy striped socks, patent leather belts, and ripped stockings. What a combination from Anna Sui, and it somehow just works.

Marc by Marc Jacobs:

The Marc by Marc Jacobs collection gave the illusion of being thrown together with a nonchalance and attitude that translated perfectly to youthfulness. Careless geek-chic was effected by black thick-rimmed glasses and sneakers for the guys, and pretty dresses teamed with street-shoes, or platforms with socks, on the girls.

i loved Anna Sui she is my favorite she just manages to pull the looks off!!Ia lso am hooting for my 2 home grown exports,Sabyasathci and Ashish Soni! check em out!!
As for Oscar he is always spectasular I auite liked Diane Von furstenburg too,the moderness of her show was nice,and thank u for moving beyond the wrap!

Did anyone else think the shoes at Vera Wang were terrible? There were some pretty dresses, but... with these?



Well sure they look comfy enough... but they look like they might just belong in the chemist with the old-lady comfort shoes... :S
