New York Fashion Week: Day 7#

It’s the final day of NY fashion week! Tomorrow, the big-eyed gaze of the fashion-mad population will turn their attention to London, but as for NYC.. things definitely ended on a high! Though I have to end on a weirdly geeky note.. as much as I love Marc Jacobs’ new collection, there is just something about his designs that reminds me of this… I blame the recent London publicity stunts regarding the new series last month.

New York Fashion Week: Day 6#

I have to admit… today’s shows left me feeling a bit cold. I think disappointed is probably the more accurate word, to be fair, but let’s go with cold. The lines that struck me as beautiful and just to my tastes, equally gave me a horrible sense of deja vu, a certainty that I have seen it all before, and that’s always disappointing during fashion week… still, we did see some beautiful creations, all the same.

New York Fashion Week: Day 5#

This has to have been, for me, one of the most eagerly awaited days of fashion week so far. Jenny Packham, Badgley Mischka, Naeem Khan, Rodarte, and of course, the glorious Oscar de la Renta… some of my absolute favourite lines (yes, I do say that a lot during fashion week, but can you blame me with so much talent before us season after season??), and they did not disappoint! I’ve seen a lot of 70s influences, colour blocking and I’m especially loving the origami-style details; folds, pleats and ‘what have the done to that fabric to get it to stay like that?’ creations… now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a wardrobe to redesign.

New York Fashion Week: Day 4#

Today was the day that I have been waiting for most eagerly during New York Fashion Week… today was the showing of  Victoria Beckham’s latest collection. Always one of my favourites. And as ever, she did not disappoint. I swear, if I had to limit my dream wardrobe to just three designers, I know already who they would be: Victoria Beckham, The Row and Chloé. So classic, elegant and timeless, all of them.

So here we go.. the best of the day, as usual.

New York Fashion Week: Day 3#

You know the routine by now. I spend an evening drooling over the runway live feed, getting far too excited over the beautiful pastel shades, the pops of royal blue, coral, emerald and mustard, spending a month’s earnings on lottery tickets in the hopes that I can stock up my wardrobe with AW15 beauties. Today was no different. From the Japanese print-esque fabrics of Tibi to the linear details of Ralph Rucci… I fall in love all over again.

Tibi’s accessories were certainly interesting… while I adore the collection, focusing in particular on their skirts and dresses, I have to say.. please, I beg you, lose the hats… awful, awful, awful.

New York Fashion Week: Day 2#

Day two of fashion week, and the fabrics are floating, caffeine is flowing, selfies are flying from NY to LA to UK and every un-abbreviatable city in between (yes, I’m aware that ‘in between’ is largely saltwater, but the Little Mermaid probably follows MB Fashion Week’s Instagram account too. I may be here, in my quaint little London apartment, watching the live feed while gorging myself on coffee and far too many biscuits, rather than enjoying/suffering in the hustle of New York’s seasonal moment in the spotlight, but my opinions on what the runway has to offer this season are just as strong as if I were a sunglasses-donning, front-row fashion celebrity. I mean, that’s the whole point, right? Fashion is there as stimulation, be it artistically, inspirationally, controversially…

A few of today’s favourites so far…

New York Fashion Week: Day 1

It’s here! It’s begun! New York Fashion week has finally arrived for SS15! I’m literally quivering with excitement.. or, judging by the pounding heartbeat, I’ve drunk one coffee too many, too quickly. While there are still a few more shows to go before the day is up, I couldn’t wait any longer to share a few of my favourite runway looks.

Creatures of the Wind

That second outfit… can you not picture Keira Knightley wandering around Canonbury in that? She has baggy, high waisted paper-bag trousers to perfection, after all. Though I’d change the shoes. I’ve seen too many 50+ citizens limping down high streets in similar. There’s ‘granny chic’ and then there’s…

BCBG Max Azria

My evening’s inspiration.. tomorrow I shall be experimenting with karate-style fabric belts, that’s for sure.

 

 

 

 

Tome

This is hands down one of my two favourite shows of the day. Tome have done well for me, fixating on beautifully cut silhouettes, silks mixed with lace details, modesty mixed with flashes of skin.. all the things I love most about fashion at the moment. And the combination of navy’s and blacks, with creamy golden pastels works wonderfully together.

Tadashi Shoji

Ok, so I may as well have dedicated a whole separate post to Tadashi Shoji’s latest collection… when I would ever have a chance to wear most of these outfits, I have no idea, but my god, they are beautiful – the detail, the colour pallet, everything is just so intricate and perfect…

I’m already noticing a trend that I’m particularly excited about: that of draped, billowing fabrics which fall into wonderfully feminine, flattering silhouettes with cinched in waists. Yes, yes, yes!
