Fashion today has become a world-wide beast, it's everywhere, and isn't that a good thing? Shouldn't this mean we are all sitting at home with a closet full of the best we can buy?

David Elfin Spring 2011 Fashion Show, New York and Madrid is Crisp, Clean and Modern

Runway Review: The designer shows in 2 cities and sticks to HIS architectural design Davidelphin spring 2011- New York Davidelfin cuts a mean pattern... And sticks to his guns too! The Spanish designer who shows both at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York and then at Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week is true to his architectural and somewhat austere design aesthetic. Davidelfin's fine modern classic tailoring is best appreciated up close. Particularly in New York, where floaty fabrics and sandy colors reigned supreme, the Davidelfin spring collection was a jolt in the arm for the woman who just wanted to stick to her 90's minimalist guns or whatever you want to call someone who prefers her clothing lean, clean, and mean. >>
