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: Donna Karan
As New York Fashion Week drew to a close, Donna Karan positioned herself to end the schedule with a bang by presenting her collection yesterday, the last day!
And what a bang it was: beautiful off-the-shoulder jersey column dresses, slim-fit suits with portrait collars, and full high-waisted a-line skirts all showed. The color palette was very safari-chic, with lots of caramels, beiges, creams, nudes, and dark browns punctuated with a few red and indigo pieces.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Calvin Klein
The Calvin girl for Spring is quite a will-'o-the-wisp. The collection was very ephemeral and barely there, and the cuts were of the essential Calvin Klein persuasion. There were no frills, no muss, just clean, minimal pieces.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Zac Posen
Zac Posen and the Little House on the Prairie? Now that's a pair I never expected. Zac and Gwyneth?
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Leave it to Marc to design a collection that stands out from the gaggle of ultra-feminine New York Fashion Week pieces. You'll find no flowy and frilly here. What you will find are tailored pant suits, A-line dresses, military coats, pleats, lace, boxy blazers, high-waisted trousers, plaid and hats...lots and lots of hats.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Tibi
Tibi jolted me awake in the AM with a sassy safari-inspired collection fit for both city and suburban girls.
The overall silhouette was slim, which is always figure flattering, and prints called "congo" and "kalahari" supplied the prefect amount of eye candy. A large grass green and min green gingham print, shown (hi Flavia!), was sweet and broke up the surefire safari fits.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Oscar de la Renta
This collection was a bit of traditional Oscar de la Renta - with poofy, dramatic dresses and full-of-sheen separates - fused with a more modern, androgynous Oscar. There's no doubt that the designer stuck with the overarching Spring theme of femininity, but he stayed away from flowy and went the structure route.
There were dramatic necklines, long red carpet gowns, bows, ruffles, floral patterns, pleats, metallics, pantsuits, shift dresses, skirt suits with cropped jackets, tuxedo-style frocks, bubble silhouettes and lantern sleeves.
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: Anna Sui
The girls at Anna Sui reminded me of anime characters: they came down the runway with big toothy grins, crazy technicolor cropped 'dos, and eye makeup so heavy it was hard to recognize them.
But we're here to talk about the clothes, I think it can best be described as punk-meets-primp! Sequin spangled tulle flapper dresses, dizzying striped miniskirt suits, leopard print tops and see-through sweater vests were all paired with wedge sandals over colorful sheer socks.
