NYFW Favourites Wrap-up

February 18, 2012

Jil Sander Navy - those dusty blue platforms are awesome

I'd best get on this, London has begun - here's a quicky survey of my favourite looks from the shows and presentations in New York. There's a ton of gorgeous clothes but how I choose is what pops off the page - usually it's a combinaton of soft or striking colour with some kind of textural appeal. When I see the clothes in person my appreciate scopes wider, but in this case there's an ocean standing in my way. Clean lines are as exciting to me as exquisite embellishments, it's all in how it presents.

I've missed ADAM and Adam Lippes' great smile. Sorry to see him and his gorgeous clothes go.

Giulietta - I don't know where that all-in-one should be worn, but I love the icy blue and matching shoes

Of course.

Usually I loathe olive green, especially when paired with orange. But Preen's take is so clean and fresh I think I'm getting a nostaglic feel, it's like a modern version of the 70s colours from my childhood (don't do the math please). My brother had a brown and orange suit with giant lapels!

Kate Spade's Deborah Lloyd collaborated with Garance Dore who produced two illustrative prints for the collection, seen on the right. Maybe you inspired one of her stylish characters!
