NYFW: Isaac Mizrahi Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011

When I hear the name of Issac Mizrahi I always imagine a range of chic and beautifully designed dresses and suits, those which will look perfect on the red carpet. That explains why I felt a bit disappointed when the Autumn/ Winter 2010/ 2011 collection was unveiled during New York Fashion week.

Pre-Fall Fashion Collection 2010 of Alberta Ferretti at New York Fashion Show

Pre-Fall fashion collection 2010 of Alberta Ferretti at New York fashion show: Alberta Ferretti may be the go-to designer for pretty chiffon gowns, but she injected some edge into her signature feminine silhouettes in her new pre-fall collection. A strong Helmut Newton girl—that perennial fashion inspiration—was the starting point, evident in a dark, moody palette that included black leather skirts, jackets, and body-hugging dresses. Ferretti even played with chains, stringing them like tassels across the shoulders of merino sweaters and a ruched jersey number. When a sheer blouse did pop up, it was paired with a structured charcoal wool pencil skirt. Ironically, fashion as a whole may be moving away from the hard-edged look, but in Ferretti’s case, the juxtaposition of soft and strong gave her latest effort a welcome depth. We can’t all be actresses with red-carpet appearances every night.

Resort Fashion Collection 2010 of Emilio Pucci at New York Fashion Show

Resort fashion collection 2010 of Emilio Pucci at New york fashion show: Peter Dundas’ mission for Resort was twofold—to take the Emilio Pucci girl to the seaside and to firm up the new image that he began establishing at the house for Fall.

Resort Fashion Collection 2010 of Giorgio Armani at New York Fashion

Resort fashion 2010 of Giorgio Armani at New York fashion: Giorgio Armani continued the exploration of eighties style that he began in earnest with his Fall collection, except this time around he did it with bright colors and bold geometric prints instead of his accustomed shades of gray.

It made for a lively change of pace that might win him some new converts, and at the very least, these clothes should appeal to his many fans’ youthful sides. It’s hard to resist the allure of a purple polka-dot print mini-caftan and its associations with the Italian Riviera and other glamorous destinations. But for those not quite ready to don an electric blue shorts suit or a bustier dress with a panel of fireworks sequins on the front, there were some pinstriped pantsuits in the mix. Take note, though—the pinstripes are pink.

Resort Fashion 2010 of Vera Wang at New York Fashion Show

Resort fashion 2010 of Vera Wang at New York fashion show: Vera Wang cheekily called Resort her “Calypso-meets-Intermix” collection. What the reference to those eclectic boutiques means is this: Not only are there more colors—safety orange, peacock blue, chartreusethan in the designer’s last several seasons combined, but the line is also chock-full of item-y pieces like slouchy, whisper-thin cardigans; lace shorts; and all manner of T-shirts and tanks for her customers to mix and match. The inspiration, Wang explained, came from her daughters, who are fond of wearing long tees over short shorts, and the lineup did have a more youthful sensibility than her runway shows. Save for the daisy chain necklaces, embellishments were for the most part pared down, and her signature voluminous silhouette has been likewise streamlined. The key piece was the one Wang herself wore to the CFDA Awards earlier this week: an olive gold sequin racer-back tank dress over a sleeveless white cotton T-shirt.

Fall Fashion Collection 2010 of DKNY at New York Fashion Show

Fall Fashion collection 2010 of DKNY at New York fashion show: As much as Donna Karan has an issue with fashion’s seasonal system and off-kilter deliveries, she’s definitely not one for the “seasonless” route some designers take. As much as last Spring’s collection was clean and breezy, today’s show spilled over with layers and layers of cold-weather-appropriate wares.

The overall look here was sixties schoolgirl. Nearly every skirt on these side-ponytailed lasses was mini and pleated, some in wool and others in a thick leather that pushed the vibe out of decades past (tasseled loafers, now transformed into aggressive platforms, did the same). Those kicky skirts were worn with long, oversize wool coats—a notch more outsize than the boyfriend blazer—little tailored jackets, or cardigans and turtlenecks. To finish off, there were long scarves, astrakhan newsboys, and ankle socks or woolen tights. The outerwear was especially strong. Highlights: a gray hooded toggle coat and boyfriend-tailored vest coats that kept the layering polished and cool.

New York Fashion Week - Spring 2010

Rodarte

As the Mulleavy sisters put it, their collection touched on the post-apocalyptic tale of a woman trying to survive. To wit, they destroyed their clothes to wondrous effect. And just as ever, they approached it with meticulous precision — shredded chiffon and silk, piecemeal swaths seemingly cobbled together, strips of leather intersecting. You could call it goth, Mad Max-ian. Or, you could call it gorgeous (we did).

NYFW: William Rast Fall/Winter 2010/2011

New York Fashion Week is over already but we aren’t going to stop writing about those fabulous collections that were unveiled during it. Today we will speak about William Rast range for Autumn/Winter 20101/2011 that has received lots of praise from fashion experts and jouranalists.

Discussing this line is interesting for one more reason – it has been created by Justin Timberlake, idol for girls all over the world, in collaboration with Trace Ayala. Besides, the line includes as many trends as one can ever do.

The list of hottest trends featured in WR collection includes: army green fatigue jackets and cargo pants, black leather paired with gray sweatshirts, navajo-blanket coats, nylon flight jackets, and raccoon tails clipped to belt loops. So many for one range! Fantastic job, guys!

Fewer denim items were seen on the runway this time that means the label isn’t planning to focus on that only, like it happenned last season. The strongest accesnt this time was given to leather: in pants, jackets, tops, shoes, vests, shorts, belts, etc.

Justin says it’s Mick Jagger’s style that inspired him.
