Fashion Week, Fashion Week, Faaaaashion Weeeeek!
While I don't take any kind of active role in anything Fashion Week, I always love to see what the designers have lined up for the next season. In a dull, cold and dreary winter, Fashion Week sweeps through the city and breathes life into the faces of those that are worn out in their black peacoats and snow-resistant boots. So poetic and over the top, but it's true. Just looking at what's in store for Fall next year gets me excited about new trends I can Ogle now at least until the weather gets warm....and then cold again.
So, what were my favorite shows? It's really hard to pick favorites. I like shows the same way I like albums. I never love the entire album, but if there are enough songs on it that I listen to more than 3 times, I can solidly say I like its style. Same with Runway shows- I rarely see one where I love everything in the show (I actually don't think I've ever looked at a Collection and loved every look), but I'll still love a lot of the things I see.
Anyway, let's talk about some shows! Let's start with Billy Reid and how wonderfully Obsessed I am with the feel of his Collection. When it's a Fall Collection, I want it to feel like it's Fall and the collection is everything that I love about the season. It's warm with a lot of earth tones, leather, jackets that almost seem oversized, alongside the secret to pairing black and brown. The outerwear is AMAZING. Here are some of my fav looks:
I love the boxy silhouettes of the coats. Paired dresses that come in right at the natural waist and deep necklines, I just can't get enough. The plunging neckline with the high waisted dress in olive and navy...ah, it's what I want right now!
The show was both Men's and Women's. To see the rest of it, check it out at NYMag.com.
Ah, so lovely!
