New York = Chic.

It seems like just yesterday it was autumn, and yet already we are embracing the new. Vogue.co.uk has just got in pictures from New York Fashion Week and being the fast-moving fashionista i am, [ or am trying to be :) ] have posted them and left comments on new trends ect., so that you're all fully prepped on the new season fashion. RACHEL ROY This whole collection was very pretty indeed. She showed alot of layering and ethnic-ness[?] in ivory which combined reminded me slightly of Pocahontas & the Native American Indians. She also showed alot of detail and textures, such as beautiful orange silks and feathered necklaces. My favourite looks were the cardies with the belts and the little feathered corsages. Overall appeal: 7/10. A nice collection, although not all of it would be wearable.

ELIE TAHARI

Stretching the tension between hard and delicate seems to be one thing designers really like to do, and Tahali's line was no exception. Her line which consisted of soft wools, furs, satins and velvet slouchy tailoring mixed with long leather gloves [yes, they're still in for '08!] and patent belts with black tights looked all very similar, yet still very appealing.

Overall Appeal: 8/10. This is a line of looks that i would wear myself thats young and cool!

BAND OF OUTSIDERS

This collection i actually LOVED. The whole geek-chic look was really appealing in the warm colours and the slouchy tailoring is a look that i will always like.

Overall appeal: 9/10. A great first impression on the designer.

Well, thats all for now.

Have a nice weekend everyone. Molly xo.

I agree, the Band of Outsiders collection looks very wearable yet still cool. I just love the whole preppy blazers and slouchy trouser look.

I love the Band of Outsiders collection because of the its sexy without actually revealing anything.

Michelle said...

Simply having a label called Band of Outsiders is enough to make me wanna splurge all my money!
