So, I again want to apologize for my lack of and inconsistent posts. I have been really busy with school work, modelling, etc. and have been too tired to actually write anything if not necessary. I have however, been keeping up with the shows for NYC fashion week thanks to the lovely and convinient, style.com, which posts the recent shows and their complete collection (including details, backstage, and beauty photos).
Some of my favorites thus far:
Proenza Schouler
Anna Sui
(wow I love, love, love this look as worn by the beautiful Snejana)
Alexander Wang
Marc by Marc Jacobs
I love this collection. I kind of grew resistant to the like of Marc Jacobs (all lines, including Louis Vuitton) but, this collection is wonderfully styles, boyish yet sexy, and kind of school girl chic. He has redeemed himself indeed!!
Jeremy Scott
Diesel Black Gold
Rebecca Taylor
It is safe to say that I am excited for this next coming Fall/winter 2010 season fashion wise, anyway. I am glad to see that many of the stylistic, color, and fabric trends of Winter 2009 will still be in fashion, only in a more updated and scrambled form. We seem to be seeing a lot of the same types of print, fabrics, and materials being used except not as simply rather, more kind of, thrown together. Mixing of different prints, animal tones, color schemes, etc. were very popular as well as the ever so versatile heeled ankle bootie, plain, embelished, or jewel toned in color.
As seen on the Proenza Shcouler runway, mixing of silky black mini dresses paired with black tights, velvet and rich jewel tone blues and purples will be staples in fall wardrobes across the globe. I also loved the simplicity and nonchalance displayed in Diesel's show. The plain and sexy tee shirts, cut off shorts, and denim vests and button down shirts will also be a continuing trend from this upcoming Summer season's effortless look.
Rebecca Taylor maintains her stance as feminine-cool in the fashion world combining girlie, flouncy mini dresses with bold, heavy coats, leopard print jackets, sexy, bohemian hats, and sparkly grey tights.
Of course, the wonderful collection of Marc by Marc Jacobs encorportated perhaps, all of my favorite trends into one and well. I love the lacy detail, abundence of red jackets and skirts, polished skirts and tailored yet, loose fitted slacks, striped sweaters and fitted jackets and best of all, patch work denim pants and dresses.
Skater-girl chic designer Mr. Wang kept the velvet trend alive and perhaps, revived in his chic collection. I also particularly loved the thigh high sock/knit pants combined with velvet/leather crops tops. Once again, another trend from '09 that will continue to thrive.
Anna Sui was also another favorite of mine this season, shockingly enough as I usually am not overly impressed by her 70's inspired designs. This collection to me, seemed very doll-like, girlie, and also very bohemian combining delicate laces, swriled prints, bouncy sleeves, and subtle colored fur coats and shawls with tough, biker chick lace up boots. Another shoe trend that I am eternally thankful will be in style once again.

Beauty
Most of the show's concepts for beauty were relatively laid back and minimal. Fortunately for me, many designers displayed a right down the middle part and straight, or slightly wavy/messy hair worn down. Some (Wang) even styled the girls hair extra greasy and slicked back carelessly to the side in order to enhance that skater, rock and roll sex pot that Wang often creates through his line. Makeup was minimal and natural as well. Many neutral tones, plain mascara, and little or no blush were shown (seen on models Annabelle and Kate at Marc by Marc). However, some designers maintained this season's trend for bare eyes and face and a bold plum, red, or magenta lip.
Models of the Moment:
In this season I saw many new, successful it girl models gracing the runway and majority of fashion editorials that I had not seen in former seasons. Many of them fresh faced and extremely young of course but nevertheless beautiful and a wonderful, new edition to New York's fashion scene.
My favs:
Amanda Norgaart:
Lindsey Wixson
(gracing the new Spring/Summer Miu Miu campaign...killer looks by the way :) )
Imogen Morris Clarke
wow these portraits are fucking unbelievable...does anyone know who shot this?
"something in the way"
