New York Fashion Week: Fall 2010
For fear of my last report being too long for the face-paced world of the web, I decided to finish fashion week coverage in two parts, alphabetically. Here is the last of the shows I was graciously invited to attend.
If I forgot a designer and I was on your list, feel free to email me and complain. Yell at me IN ALL CAPS!
Colors: Valentines day all the way....vibrant reds, pinks. Add blues, orange and black
Collection Vibe: Nanette Lepore has a knack for the bo-ho, living color sophisticate style. I was a bit thrown this season in a good way as she does structure with a bit more edge. Think Stevie Nicks meets Audrey Hepburn.
Trend Spotting: Velvet, Military
Stand Out Look:
Colors: Neutrals
Collection Vibe: Following a Spring line of color and floral, her fall line goes a darker. Just add animal prints. It's 1940's screen sirens who love the pants suits like Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn.
Trend Spotting: Suiting
Stand Out Look (This is a biased pick as I love the wide leg pants)
