Derek Lam, was love, love, love for its simplicity with a twist. A classic white trench came down the Runway and as the model turned we were treated to a rather unexpected peplum at the back, which went on to feature on the back of some of the tops and tunics in the collection. An array of gorgeous white dresses (perhaps I will finally get one next summer) intermingled with a sprinkling of neutrals and some sheer maxi dresses of which the leopard print was my favourite, naturally.
DKNY saw lots of tailoring with camel, white and black with red accessories which worked really well. The famous "Body" first introuduced to the fashion world by Donna Karen, took on a new dimension with its one shouldered and ruffle detail and I was amazed to see a red top teamed with salmon pink capri pants after my post about SJP the other day, but this really worked! Ruffles, scarves and bow belts featured heavily throughout a collection that consisted mainly of block colours with just a few garments featuring a delicate ditzy print.
You know what's so weird? I'm from NY and yet I totally forgot about fashion week! and I've even been following and commenting on The Photodiarist's blog & it still didn't occur to me, it's going on now, and I could be following it on live streaming.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to do it later tho as I'm running out. Are you following it thru a nice central site like the way they do LFW? I mean, how do you find the schedules?
I love the examples you chose. I can really appreciate the time it takes to put together a post like this. I'm really into the black white camel trilogy and I think that will be my theme for tomorrow's post. In fact I've got to get dressed for dinner now and that's what I'm going to be wearing.
My favourite on DKNY are the 2nd and esp 3rd down: with those red shoes!! on Derek Lam.. top look. I've got similar trousers from ages ago, and white tops, I'm going to steal that look.
Thanks for your sweet comment - I don't thank you enough for your support - and oh yes, I bet I AM! (older ; )

So many lovely things! I'm with you on the leopard print maxi, love that. e xxx
ReplyDelete*droool* who'd have thought that it would be a trend to team pink with red. Actually, I think it looks really nice on the catwalk, but I still think that SJP looked like she'd just picked the first things that came to hand that morning!
ReplyDeleteBut I forgive her for not being SJP every time she steps through her front door - kids knacker you out!
*stands back for public stoning* lol!
