NY Fashion week trends

I really enjoyed looking at the videos and pictures from this year's fashion week. I've never really taken time out before to look at the other ones but I really like what I've seen from this year. It's exciting for me to see all the different designers with these varieties of patterns, fabrics, textures and silhouettes is amazing. The talent of these desginers are amazing, and the product of their great ideas are even better.



One of my favorite collections that I saw was the one from Marc Jacobs. His style of design is genius to me. He uses many colors and knows just how to put them together just right. I feel like the clothes are setting off a new trend of its own because he used everything that's popular in fashion and put it all together in one outfit. The collection also has a modern day Mary Poppins look to it.

The picture below is one from his collection.

Another designer whose collection I ejoyed was Zac Posen. The majority of his collection were dresses, long and short of all types. I think of the the designs as sexy night-out-on-the-town garments. Some of the clothes are frilly and flowy and others are close fitted pencil skirt desgins. The main colors of the fabrics all seem to be around beige, off white, silver, tan and black. The whole collection has a elegant yet sassy look to them and I like that.

One more designer that I liked was Nicole Miller. The prints and patterns in her collection was inspired by voodoo. Although that seems wierd her ideas worked with the clothes that were majority strecth silk and stemming from menswear. Her collection to me looks to have a vintage look with a cultural twist to it.

Below is a video on Oscar de la Renta's 2009 collection. His collection was another that I liked because of his range of clothes that go from years ago to modern day fashions that anybody regardless of age can wear and enjoy.
