New York Fashion Week Brief *No Strings Attached, Cordless*

Let me start off by saying its Wednesday and it has been a whirlwind, of a week! And not in a good way, however I digress, and refocus thanks to a little September Issue guidance from Ms. Anna Wintour and dearest Andre.

Anyhow, so many shows so little time. I decided to do this fashion week review a little different than I've done them in the past. Instead of having one singular post for each designer showcasing my favorite styles of their complete collection, I will compile them into one posting, that i will continuously update as the shows go on, giving you my most favorite look from my most favorite shows and a small briefing of what to expect, what to look for and how to prepare for this upcoming fall season. Shall we begin?


Hervé Léger by Max Azria



Unexpected and everything you'd imagine in signature Herve Leger style. Basket weaved skirts, and banded tops paired with go-go knee high boots A-line shapes and furturistic cut outs. Appreaing in creamy nuetral fall shades, including a warm carmel, pumpkin-y color.   



Marchesa


"And I dont think youre beautiful, I think you're beyond it"
If ever there were a collection that made you feel as though, love could conquer all, this would be it. Filled with romantic drama, Marchesa collection included, Victorian inspired lace overlays and slightly destroyed silk tulle. "One dress had leather cut into lace, and on another the lace beading was inserted with wire and sat like fantastical metallic flowers on a bodice" according to Meenal Mistry. My heart ultimately stopped for the embroidered floral pattern in crystal, jet and seed pearls.

This collection just made me smile, for everything as a child that caught my eye. It was a hodgepodge of,  golds, electric colors, sparkles and fringe. Almost like being deep in a ocean surrounded by glo and zebra fish. I enjoyed the golden beaded tights for every look, sultry navy body suiting and fish net tops.

Tom Ford Spring 2011 Fashion Show

"When I went to bed that night, it was the first time ever in my life after a fashion show I went to bed and did not at all worry about the reviews. I felt really good"-Tom Ford






Back again after six years, and its just as seductive as the first time. Tom Fords, Spring 2011 show included 100 invited guest and 32 models (whom of which he'd chosen and designed each piece with them in mind) stomping the runway, where he introduced each by name and gave detailed description of each outfit. According to Harpers Bazaar, for added amusement, he catcalled a few of them, teased Eisner for walking too quickly, told model Joan Smalls she might have turned him straight, and then told Beyoncé she definitely did.
His inspiration from the show came form an episode of "I Love Lucy". In which Lucy wants Lucy wants a covetable Don Loper dress she can't afford. But lo and behold, Loper is doing a fashion show (which he narrates himself) and asks Lucy to model.
When Ford left womenswear in 2004, he vowed not to return until he thought he had something new to say. He said it, and Im speechless. Enjoy!
