Tapered pants, over-sized sweaters and cardigans, tailored jackets and coats. At the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, the Fall 2011 DKNY collection was all about showing clothes that were actually ”ready to wear”.
You can depend on Donna Karen to shift us back to functionality and reality, in a time when many designers are creating winter collections that could mirror those of spring/summer.
Because I really love the new DNKY Fall 2011 collection and was inspired to create a mood board with looks we can wear right away, either from items already in our closet, or from more accessible stores like Asos and Zara.
You know, take the look from the runway to the real-way.
Let’s Go!
DKNY fall 2011 – New York fashion Week. Inspiration .
Taylor Tomasi is always one of the best dressed women you’ll come across during the fashion weeks. She gets snapped up by all the street photo -bloggers and many fashion readers love her as the Marie Claire accessories editor. The red hair, the bold accessories, the sunglasses and that tiny leather jacket – she’s got coolness down to an art.
This past New York Fashion week Fall 2011 one of the biggest trends on and off the runway was bold colors, and here she is with a bright blue Celine clutch.
I’ve been searching the internet to find bright blue color accessories and I found this cute wallet from PAUL’S BOUTIQUE for today’s Cute find feature.
Pauls Boutique Lizzie patent purse is so cute with its little colorful charms and patent blue cover with a baby pink interior. It might be a bit too “sweet”, for me, but might be just right for you.
Mercedez Benz Fashion Week Fall 2011 is over. But not many people knew that you could see videos of the collections and backstage on Youtube.
Many shows were even streaming live on the Internet; as will be the case during London, Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks.
Power to the people! I didn’t do a day to day round up because, well everyone was doing that, but I’m working on some mood boards on looks we can wear now inspired from the present Fall 2011 collections. It’s going to be hot and very budget friendly.
Michael Kors FALL 2011 COLLECTION, MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK
MIchael Kors is one of my favorite fashion designers, every season he makes clothes that arent just for stick figures, peices that can transition from boardroom to weekend shopping. He’s really in tune with what women want, time after time. I love him and his pants suits is to your body as is butter on warm toast; divine.
Diane von Furstenberg FALL 2011 COLLECTION, MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK
Leave it to DVF to show us that the wrap dress after all these years can never go out of style. Like Yves Saint Laurent is so famous for saying “Fashion Fades but Style is eternal”
Derek Lam FALL 2011 COLLECTION, MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK
Prabal Gurung FALL 2011 COLLECTION, MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK
SOME ADDITIONAL VIDEOS FROM STYLE.COM
Actually my favorite is this one! Phillip Lim Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear – “Green is the color of money” he says- funnnnnyyy
Proenza Schouler Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear – Look at the textures! OMG so inventive, they were inspired by Indian blankets.
Calvin Klein Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear – Listen to Nicole Phelps from Style.com – One of the best fashion writers of all time. If you don’t know she writes those bomb ass reviews during fashion weeks. As for the collection it is simple, perhaps you can find many of the styles in your local Mango. But CK has always been well, simple.
I was a bit disappointed I couldn’t find a good Victoria Beckham Video, as the collection has really matured and in a way embraced real women bodies with a lot of flowy yet stylish dresses and bold colors. Not to mention the bags were to die for.
