New York Fashion Week Spring 2008, VPL: Love It or Hate It?
In honor of some of the polarizing looks showing at New York Fashion Week, I thought we would do a few fashion week editions of Love It or Hate It!
Take this Spring VPL ensemble, with its mustard, gray, and white color palette. It reminds me of an avant-garde ballet outfit, with its leotard-looking layered top and sheer lampshade-inspired skirt.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Proenza Schouler
When Valentino recently bought a stake in Proenza Schouler, it allowed Jack and Lazaro to keep doing what they're doing, except with more pocket change to throw around. I was excited to see what they would do with the extra money: nicer fabrics? Killer shoes?
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Jeremy Laing
He's been on my radar for a while now, but since I finally got to see his work in person, it's confirmed: 27-year-old Toronto-based designer Jeremy Laing is definitely one to watch. These pictures, from his Spring collection, don't do them justice. Especially because a lot of the finer details are in the backs of his designs, which you can't see in my runway pictures.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Rachel Comey
You know how there's this male fantasy about a buttoned up but secretly sexy librarian? Rachel Comey's Spring collection was a hodge-podge of sassy primped up looks.
It took place in a rec center gym where you could literally smell the dust.
Fab Flash: New York Fashion Week Open to The Public

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Tory Burch
Burch devotees, fashion press, the NY social scene and Lance Armstrong all gathered at Christie's auction house to see Tory Burch's Spring offerings.
In a spotlighted, champagne flowing room, groups of models circled a platform while onlookers schmoozed and perused. Burch fans will rejoice for her signature tunics, cardigans and retro prints were abundant - some tribal prints in particular were super fun.
New York Fashion Week Spring 2008, Marc by Marc Jacobs Legos: Love It or Hate It?
I loved the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring collection, but when I was taking another look, I noticed something I hadn't seen the first time around: Lego accessories!
Little colorful blocks and triangles made from Legos decorated belts and headbands. They added color, a youthful vibe, and remind me of those funky Fall Balenciaga heels.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: JustSweet by Jennifer Lopez
Together with head designer Sophie Na, J. Lo produced a collection dominated by cute, casual minidresses for her new contemporary line, JustSweet. The line, which debuts in stores in March, is priced from $49-$99, so it's much more affordable than your typical catwalk fare.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Alice + Olivia
Mother Nature works in mysterious ways and the downpour right before Alice + Olivia's Alice in Wonderland themed Spring show added to the mystique.
Located at their store, which they outfitted to comply with the whimsical and trippy story of Alice, I found myself falling down the rabbit hole while viewing colorful party dresses, high waisted pants and shorts, bold patterns, frilly sleeves and an overall fun and fantastical collection. There were casual pieces too, like light blue denim and laid back tailored jackets.
