A more fitted, tailored look suggested by New York Fashion Week for both fashionados and producers. Another fresh conclusion: winter whites, beige-tone neutrals, plum, green, and teal are clearly leading in NY FW Popular Colors Nomination. Oh, and boxy metallic jacket with a quilted skirt, too...
This year's New York Fashion Week shows send us a clear message: the new style will be favoring a more fitted, tailored look. However, many note that leading fashion brands usually reacting fast, notably including Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein and Vera Wang have to deliver the goods (both literally and figuratively). Winter whites, beige-tone neutrals, plum, green, and teal are clearly leading in NY Fashion Week Popular Colors Nomination. The higher-end KLS collection and junior-market Baby Phat line are the hits with which Kimora Lee Simmons debuted. Britney Spears sat in the front row, though she left before Simmons even took her bow, as AP's Samantha Critchell noted. Celebrities and their stylists, retailers and fashion editors continue previewing next season's looks in New York through Friday before moving on to London, Milan and Paris. When Baby Phat is mentioned, one usually notes that it has been the first occasion when some clearly Russian-style clothes appeared on the very top: a winter white high-neck halter dress with bubble hem paired with fur-trimmed boots and a series of tailored herringbone trousers and pencil skirts with gilded adornments, were promising. There also was an elegant halter scarf gown in an Asian print in autumnal colors worn by Alek Wek, one of the few high-wattage models to still make an occasional appearance at Fashion Week. Simmons, however, made a mini-revolution in the area of womens' jeans. Most featured skinny legs, continuing a trend that proved popular last holiday shopping season, but she freshened them up with button details and gold seams. One particularly interesting pair had zippers at the bottom that, when opened, had tiers of herringbone fabric flow from mid-calf to the floor. Nicole Miller's clothing transfers our spirits to Latin America, as the spring collection is clearly connected with motives of the Maya and her autumn looks obviously remind associations with the Peruvian culture. In fact, Nicole Miller introduced an ancient pottery technique known as chulucana into a bold graphic print that was beautifully used on coats, skirts, gowns and even a cashmere scarf. Playing into the theme, many of the models wore bowler-style hats with crisp white shirts - the best one being a poplin shirt with a two-tiered sleeve - with long A-line skirts. Miller also has a strong following among young women on the party circuit so she also offered a few more luxe looks including a short, boxy metallic jacket worn with a quilted skirt (another emerging trend as Samantha Critchell of AP noted, too) that had an embroidered band at the hem. Marc Bouwer based his line on "imitation," saying all attempts to convince his audience that his faux furs were real were completely intentional. He could've fooled a lot of us if his show wasn't sponsored by PETA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. His best work for fall were the faux striped chinchilla coat, worn belted "Jackie O"-style, and a black faux astrakhan and mink empire-waist coat that was cut close to the body. Bouwer also gave a modern touch to the classic screen-siren gown by adding two chrome rings to the neckline and offering it in a soft mauve color. However, according to Samantha Critchell of AP, too many of the evening styles, though, were too full and puffy, especially those that started with an empire waist, that left the models lost in a sea of fabric.
