New York Fashion Week: Fall 2010

The BCBG label and designer, Max Azria, are fashion industry veterans when it comes to designing for the contemporary market. Its accessible and its quality. They know who they design for.

Check out their blog to learn more of what it took to put on the show.

BCBG was the only designer to send me an invitation that was actually addressed to my blog's ridiculous name: Fashion Funhouse Emporium. I laughed when I saw it. Though, I was disappointed that when I got to the show, I was not on the list even though I sent in my RSVP of "Yes"

Just as well, I viewed the show from "the cheap seats" and even got to scope out the crowd.

Colors

Khakis, greys, dark blues with a block of yellow or two.

Loved Looks

Like Spring, BCBG continued with the clean, simple looks. While I wasn't blown away by any one particular piece, I appreciate the aesthetic. BCBG is not about creating crazy new trends, but rather, creating simple staple pieces that can be styled to suit the wearer.

Unloved Looks

There were no looks I particularly didn't like. I personally don't like yellow, but that's not valid criticism. It is what it is with BCBG. When you head to a show, you expect billowing silk and day to night dress up. That's what they gave us. Yes, BCBG is a stable, comfortable, old married couple.

Music

Oh Shazammmmmm, why are you doing this to me? Again, my app couldn't identify the song that was playing.. My blog's music section stinks! I will tell you though, it was a male singer...sort of folksy but with dance beat.

People and Scene

The Vogue team and Anna Wintour sat front row. Michele Williams was there apparently. If you look way up in the crowd you might see me. It was a huge production in the Bryant Park Tents with the typical runway for this type of set up- a rectangle around the crowd.

To Gift or Not to Gift

I don't know. There's no gifting for the standing crowd or anyone past the first three rows. It is what it is, indeed.
