New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 – first 2 days

11 Sep 2010

Before it gets crazy and too hard to do, I want to collect my favorite looks from the first two days of shows, started September 9th. (You can see the full schedule of the shows here). The challenge: no more than 3 favorite looks from each collection. Let’s see if I can do this:

BCBG Max Azria – (link is to Bryanboy’s video of the finale of the show)

I mostly love the colors, very happy to see mustard yellow and coral (one of my favorite colors) and grey, and fun wavy silhouettes -

Costello Tagliapietra – definitely the silhouettes. These are the outfits I liked best. I have to admit it – I didn’t like most of the collection, just these 3:

Jason Wu – ( link is to Bryanboy’s video) No need to add words. He rocks this summer. It was very hard to pick 3 outfits and not just post the entire collection:

Julian Louie, Nicole Miller, Peter Som (link is a video from the show taken by Bryanboy), Ports 1961, Bensoni, Gregory Parkinson, Jen Kao, Kimberly Ovitz, Mandy Coon, Nicholas K, Rachel Comey, Richard Chai Love, - not my style this season, sorry. Didn’t feel like I have anything to write home about…

Rag & Bone – I can’t even imagine what happened there. Too weird for me. I didn’t get the silhouettes, the shapes, the prints, those straps… no no no. Huge disappointment.

Christian Siriano – most (if not all) of his designs are packed with last year’s trends, one-by-one. Yet, it’s not taken for granted that his collection is very wearable and chic, comfortable and has nice summer colors in it:

Cushnie et Ochs – almost classic, has a nice twist to some looks:

Lyn Devon – I loved it. Very simple, classic and great black & white pieces. I especially like the first Black & white sweater, it’s perfect:

Ruffian – great collection guys! It was very hard to pick 3. I could pick 10, no sweat. Love the fabrics, the styling, the combinations, the colors – I pretty much loved it all:
