London Fashion Week: Osman Yousefzada Fashion Show Review

Osman Yousefzada catwalk - Fall / Winter 2009 … Structured clean lines and sculpted shapes in a cool palette of grey, pale blue, white and teal gave a sci-fi feel to Osman Yousefzada's Cosmic Mughal' collection that strutted the catwalk at London Fashion Week. In a variety of textures ranging from boiled wool and cashmere blends to crepe jersey, the collection of A-line dresses and ultra wide high-waisted trousers looked simple and chic.   >> See our complete runway coverage and fashion show photos The daywear section of the collection presented panelled wool coats and dresses as well as cropped jackets and high-waisted skirts. Draped gowns and short cocktail dresses dominated the eveningwear pieces. The collection was accessorized with black

London Fashion Week: Krystof Strozyna Fashion Show Review

Krystof Strozyna Catwalk - Fall / Winter 2009 … Experimental, wearable designs in a variety of fabrics made for a striking, sophisticated Krystof Strozyna show with a fun, rebellious attitude.   The London Fashion Week fall - winter 2009 / 2010 collection of black, beige and nude tones was teamed with unexpected shades of neon pink and bleach-washed denim to liven the mood. A mixture of fabrics and textures in the form of silk, leather, denim and translucent voile made for an interesting collection from the Central St. Martins graduate. >> See our complete runway coverage and fashion show photos   Structured tailoring was softened with flowing sheer fabric and silk mini dresses woven with coloured thread made for a

London Fashion Week: Ashish Fashion Show Review

Ashish Catwalk - Fall / Winter 2009 … A colour explosion of neon animal print clashed with Christmas prints, covered in translucent sequins with a circus theme, is what made up the Ashish fashion show for London Fashion Week at the Hippodrome Theatre in Leicester Square. Determined not to succumb to the winter's depressing mood, Ashish opted for the jubilant and loud shades of neon pink, blue, yellow, orange and green. Trousers with pom-pom detailing contributed to the outrageous look.   >> See our complete runway coverage and fashion show photos Prints of all varieties were included, ranging from zebra, tiger and leopard to the USA's Stars and Stripes, to traditional Christmas reindeer and snowflake prints. Most pieces were covered

NY Fashion Week: Joanna Mastroianni presentation review

Joanna Mastroianni Fall 2009 Collection… This was a very tight, high society eveningwear line not over looking a single detail and using stunning fabrications. I do love the hoop-la that goes along with the runway shows, but I must admit, these intimate presentations not only make you feel not just like number but you can see the construction, the fit, the fabric textures and all the hand sewn details up close and personal which gives a bigger appreciation. >> See our complete runway coverage and fashion show photos This line I felt could really suit a broad age range as well (which was aided of course by the 19-year old skinny models!) going from a young socialite off to a

NY Fashion Week: Thuy fashion show review

Thuy- Fall 2009 Collection, video below… Fashion is not always taken at face value. Sometimes you need to give it a bit of time and understand that taste is very subjective. I’m more of a realist than trendy fabulousista when it comes to flattering silhouettes. Ok, I won’t lie, my first impression of this collection was not a good one, but by the end of the show I acknowledged it means absolutely nothing if I personally don’t like it, but it means everything it I can look past my taste and see what has been created and the whether it has been created well. This line was indeed well made. My personal issue was that many of the pieces were

NY Fashion Week: Miss Sixty fashion show review

Miss Sixty | Runway Fall 2009 Collection-Mercedes Benz Fashion Week… Rock ‘n roll heavily weighted with an 80’s and punk feel set the tone for Miss Sixty. Denim washes had a huge range from classic blues to greys and black of course, but the washing techniques were far from average - some were heavily bleached, others were very stone washed giving an allover crinkle texture reminding you of your favorite pair of jeans in 1985, colored tints and resin washes, fortunately not so much of the shredding we are currently seeing everywhere. As far as denim styling, I personally was pleased to see the skinny jean still maintaining it’s power, especially with glam rock appliques and over-sized hardware. On the

NY Fashion Week: Lela Rose fashion show review

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week- Lela Rose, Fall 2009 Collection… Finally a show with color to keep our recession spirits up and remind women that party attire should indeed be fun. There is also a fantastic play of texture - chunky woven tweeds with a hint of metallic, shiny silks mixed with sequins, flowing silk chiffon as well as stiff and shiny satin. The shimmer caught everyone’s eye, nothing was flat and it allowed for a lot of movement when on the body. The ombre coloring had a modern romantic effect especially on the pieces that had ombre color stripes from sequins.

NY Fashion Week: Alvin Valley fashion show review

The words structured and romantic do sound like they belong in the same sentence, but Alvin Valley has changed that perception with a collection of supremely feminine dressing that is not only well tailored but involves pieced seams and cut outs. The black brocade fabric is something you may ordinarily see on a chair at your grandmother’s house, but it took on a whole new look at well fit pants and jumpsuits. Skirts and blouses had an overwhelming array of ruffles, but being solely on the blouse or the skirt it wasn’t too much, and the softness created a look of silk oragami. (photo gallery below) A few jumpsuits, they did look stunning considering they are near impossible to pull

NY Fashion Week: Shelly Steffee fashion show review

Shelly Steffee - Fall 2009 fashion collection… A great mix of fabric textures and beautiful tailoring made for an impressive collection with a futuristic / equestrian feel. Well placed cut-outs to show off a woman’s decoltage, a beautifully draped jersey dress with braided fabric woven within the sweeping cowl, very well fit felt jacket with pleated latex shoulders and of course the of-the-moment peg shaped pant looking wearable on the mannequin - too bad that silhouette can be difficult for real people to pull off. (photo gallery below) Again, as almost all the fall collections the color range is predominantly blacks and greys, but the mixing of fabrics at least makes these colors beautiful, not so somber. There was a
