Well it’s hunting season ladies, time to hunker down and scope out your target – what look will you channel in the upcoming A/W season? And what designer ‘tude and mood will inspire your spring dressing? Fashion Week is a rapid-fire succession of presentations that expose the hard work and creativity of top designers in the U.S., the U.K. France, Italy, and elsewhere.
I want to take a moment to analyze the breathtaking presentations of New York Fashion Week and hopefully convince you to see shows with rationality instead of simple lust for the novelty of newness. I want you to look at collections not as “ready-to-wear” but as inspiration to “shop-the-closet.” Now, don’t go thinking I want you to abstain from luxury; on the contrary, I’m as much a label-luster as the rest of you vixens, I just believe the ability to channel a designer’s look is even more satisfying the buying the real thing! Trust me! Think about it this way, a designer creates a collection of looks based on a muse – a unique woman or man who inspires. Well, this is a reciprocal relationship! Diane von Furstenberg, Dean and Dan (of Dsquared), and Laura and Kate Mulleavy (of Rodarte) are all among my muses whose creativity inspires MY collection of looks.
Tomorrow I will post a digest of fashion and style analysis of some of my favorite shows from NYFW. I know, I know, there are many more fashion weeks zooming by that merit discussion, but a girl’s only got so much time, d’accord?
