NYFW

THERE WERE TWO SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT AT NYFW. COLOR AND NO COLOR. 





My Fav's from Fashion week.


Suno. 
My favorite with the colorful-ethnic prints. Since most of the show was greys, variations of greys including blue-gry and olv-drab, I liked the deviation. 

DVF. Layers upon soft layers. Lovely brown chiffons in wild abstract prints that make her famous. But still remembering the youth. Tao Okamoto is one of my favorite models.

Alice + Olivia. Daring-flirty and forward. 

Gary Graham. 
I like where he's going with the victorian-ish tapestry and turning it into something useful. Imagine that!!

DKNY-a young interpretation of what Fall should be. Warm, classic but sexy and young.

L.A.M.B. 
Whoever was doing makeup-it didn't turn out so well. Hair either. All-that aside, I did like the 
re-introduction of the triple layer cross-shoulder belt. She's definitely evolving to what's happening-I just sometimes think she's over thinking it.





KNOCK IT OFF!!!

IM GOING TO BE DOING REGULAR POSTINGS OF BLATANT DESIGNER KNOCK OFFS.

Nick in the 80's

Now Jethro Lazenby Cave is dominating the model world with hits at major fashion houses like Varvatos, Balenciaga and Costume National, major fashion mags like I-d and Dazed...Even Terry Richardson and Hedi Slimane are in love. Who wouldn't be??

The present...

H&M. For when it warms up-or for my dream vacation on the Greek Isles. 

















FROM H&M'S THE GARDEN COLLECTION......THERE'S THAT BLUE AGAIN. 

The past..

Some of my favorite past looks from PreFall 09 Proenza Schouler. A perfect California weather look...since we really have no seasons.





Love these last two with the soft layers and the focal point at the high waist.
