NYFW

Just now finally taking the time to click through New York Fashion Week images on Style.com. Something about new collections and being expected to follow what designers are doing is so tedious to me. I clicked around at the designers I usually like. Jeremy Scott... usually love his over the top, colorful, reference heavy collections but found this collection disguising with overdone cheap 90's and internet references. 3 piece Bart Simpson outfit? No thanks. Karen Walker who is usually a favorite for feminine, quirky, vintage-y looks, was a total bore in gray suiting with yellow details and played out leme and paisley dresses. Side note (I don't even feel like sharing pictures) Has Rodarte lost all the magic?

 

 What I did like....

Alice + Olivia

Chris Benz

Norma Kamali

Yup that's about it....

Chris Benz

I can't say I'm an avid follower of what is going down during fashion weeks, there is always too much to look at.  But I do like to click around at random collections and check out my usual favorites to see what catches my fancy. I can get with the colorful pops and 40's references that seem to be showing themselves for spring. A collection that particularly caught my eye is Chris Benz. I like the 40's cut long pencil skirts and tied blouses, paired with 60's/ 90's prints and color blocking. But over all it isn't the pieces themselves that attract me, instead it's the styling done for this shoot. The placement of random props and color blocked curtains, the match up of vintage-y dresses and maxi skirts with trainers, they layered jewelry, and post of all the unbuckled platform heels.
