New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Josh Goot

21

When his invitation came in the mail, backed with a smattering of watercolored spatters in yellow, pinks, reds, blues, and teals, I was a bit iffy about Josh Goot. But seeing the young Australian's designs in person, I take all skepticism back.

Let me just say that his trademark jersey dresses are simply gorgeous. His Spring collection reminds me of a cross between Calvin Klein's 2008 Cruise collection (similar color palette), and anything Christopher Kane (those tight, short little dresses). There was black, white, teal, lavender, gold, silver; lots of asymmetrical colorblocking. The occasional print popped up - a black and white ripple-inspired print, and the aforementioned watercolor print, which looked very pretty in person. The makeup was also pretty and natural.

But to see the clothes move, now that's what made me swoon. No question, Josh Goot was one of my favorites of the day.
