NOTICE - I have had a few things happen in my life that have caused me to fall behind on things. Instead of not posting anything about NY Fashion Week, I have decided that I will post what I do have. I have also included the links to some of my favourite shows. Hopefully I can get back on track. Thanks for following and viewing my blog. Happy Halloween - Sg
Pamella Roland (Sept 6)
Pieces all
accentuate the body. Very feminine and polished looks. Many of the
gowns are award show appropriate and we probably will see them in
the future. Dress at 840 was worn by Bella Thorne that night. Loved
every single piece, was a lovely fashion show.
Cushnie et Ochs (Sept 8)
Taoray Wang (Sept 9)
Impeccable
construction on the waist corsets. Realistic pieces that people would
wear. The white dress at 450 is jaw dropping. Navy and black dress at
520 has a beautiful silhouette. Love that the colour palette stuck to
black, white, navy, gray. Stunning collection.
Dion Lee (Sept
9)
The collection
had a lot of gray and dark colours for being a spring/summer
collection. Loved the green silk pieces. They brought some life to
the collection.
Tibi (Sept 9)
A
very conservative look and consistent except every once in a while
there was a dowdy/matronly piece.
Namilia (Sept 9)
Construction of the garments gets an A +. No idea where you would
wear garments like these or who the customer base would be. Model at
815 was on Kelly Cutrone's instagram the other day. Confused ...
Tory Burch (Sept 8)
I really enjoyed this collection. It was a more relaxed vibe. The
show taking place in the garden was the perfect setting for these
clothes. The collection looked quite comfortable and had a nice flow
to it. Enjoyed how the accessories were very minimal and the shoes
were mostly flats. LOVED this collection.
Calvin Klein (Sept 7)
I
do not like this collection at all, very disappointed. The music was
100
Tom Ford (Sept 6)
258/351
that glitter long sleeve dress gives me life, what a beautiful dress.
Love it in the silver and blue and the silver and gold is fab as
well. Gigi Hadid's dress is ok, construction is good but it looks way
too tight at the bottom causing a strange walk. Kendall's dress is
fantastic. Sleek, sexy and sultry. LOVE IT. Joan Smalls outfit with
the jacket with the beautiful lapels. The runway flooring was
difficult to walk on or the shoes were very unstable causing the
models to have a strange walk or uneasiness.
Oscar de La Renta (Sept 11)
Paint splatter and embellishments are used a lot in this collection.
The denim pieces look quite reasonable. A lot of shirt dresses, which
I don't think you can build an entire collection on. The paint suits
really don't have any shape. Using the escalator as an entrance was
brilliant. The runway walk area was incredibly long. Silver and pink
glitter dresses were very basic but provided a nice pop. Many of the
gowns made me think of a higher class prom dress. Lots of Tulle
fabric. Sadly, I found this collection very underwhelming, which is
not something I expect from de La Renta.
Carolina Herrera (Sept 11)
All the clothes have movement and flow. Majority of the collection is
dresses or combination top and skirts (there were possibly 3 outfits
with pants). Shiny button details are fantastic and add a nice
component to the piece. Tailoring is top level. Large colour palette
for the collection. There were some slight bits of colour blocking
but no full out colour blocking. Dress at 745 was smashing,
especially with the zebras on the bottom of the garment above the
hemline. Once again Carolina Herrera does not disappoint.
Alexander Wang (Sept 9)
The video quality for this show is terrible taking away from the
fashion. Details are hard to pick out and consider due to effects
that were put on the video. Very frustrating. Is there something
being hidden or is Wang just trying to be different with the video.
Not entirely sure why you would post a video that no one can tell
anything about the clothing which is supposed to be the showcase. I
didn't watch the whole thing. Stopped at 136 and said not worth my
time.
Philipp Plein (Sept 10)
Dita opens the show with her famous martini glass performance. Future
performs during the show. Adrianna Lima is the first model out and
damn she's on point. 21 Savage comes out with a drink in hand. The
detail on the leather is impressive. The Disney type characters that
are naughty'd up on the shirts is strange. 308 is the body suit worn
in the Taylor Swift video. 330/355 a girl is strutting while having a
soother in her mouth. The models are not walking straight and then
some are walking 'gangster' no consistency. Then Teyana Taylor
dancing and the music changes to MASK OFF. What a confusing show. My
mind is just blown about what I saw. Plein focussed more on making it
a performance than showcasing the clothing and the clothing wasn't
even that great. YIKES.
Irina Vitaj (Sept 9)
There are a lot of sheer pieces to the collection, as well as a lot
of pieces are pretty close to being tits out. The fabric choice for
the dress at 440 was subtle but really fantastic. The clothing had a
certain flow and freedom to it. Dress at 623 had a cape and it really
took away the impact of the fabric. The metallic sheen fabrics take
away from the dresses and kind of make them look cheap. The
construction and draping were very basic. The collection was a mish
mosh of different styles. I would say i am 70/30 on this collection.
There was more that I didn't like than I did like.
Victoria Beckham (Sept 10)
A lot of collars and lapels. Some of the outfits are restrictive in
that they are tucked in so tight. Looks a little bit dowdy. All the
outfits shown I could definitely see VB wearing. The colours are all
colours that she wears frequently. I was really hoping that there
would be more jumpsuits. I think this was a very safe collection.
Lacking creativity, innovation and construction. Ugh VB I expected so
much more from you.
