Fall 2010 Ready to Wear- The Best of Day Three– New York Fashion Week
Alexander Wang
Alexander Wang has somehow manged to consistently have the best fashion followers since his first show – fashion buyer, stylists and magazine editors alike all woo at his creations and most specifically his accessories that quickly become either it bags or it shoes.
I feel a bit ripped off this season – literally as many of the pieces looked like they were missing fabric in some places and too much fabric in other areas. It would be interesting to see how people wear these off the catwalk , stomach bearing and all.
This is the third season for the newcomer and he’s out with a collection that says he more mature and definitely has staying power with clean cut lines, leather body suits and updated wool ponchos.
Peter Som
Peter Som came out with a strong showing of how to skillfully mix and match colors, patterns, and texture for a sultry and sophisticated look. He pulled it off with the use of flowy fabrics such as silk and chiffon.
Jason Wu
Something tells me that from Jason Wu’s Fall 2010 show he no longer wants to be seen as the designer who can just make ball gown dresses – so he’s switched things up a bit with a turn to more edge, rather than frills.
Boy by Band of Outsiders
Scott Sternberg showed us how he could tweak the interchangeable male/female wardrobe with American classics and a touch of color, or the lack thereof with bright yellows or models draped in all gray.
ADAM
For some reason this is what I expected the Alexander Wang show to look like – easy clothes that you can wear whenever. Shearling lined cropped leather jackets paired with jogging pants might not be very original , but originality doesn’t sell its adaptability that doesn’t and my guess is well see these pieces being sold out in stores.
