NY Fashion Week: Herve Leger Spring / Summer 2010

Nice and fresh fabrications, treatments and sun-softened beachy palette which evoked a pinch of country sensibility I hustled into the Herve Leger Spring 2010 show amidst throngs of bandage dressed women of all ages. What I noticed first and foremost was that although most of these Leger devotees had overdone it one way or another - moms and their mini-me daughters in matching nightclub ready scuba uber-minis forcing comparisons, loads of make-up, black patent leather, fussy blond coifs and naked flesh at 3pm - the show itself was surprisingly earthy. This is not to say that Max Azria abandoned Leger's signature body-con hubba-hubba I expected to see. He just took his cash-cow formula and reconsidered the possibilities. He exposed it

Twinkle by Wenlan | Spring / Summer Fashion Show Summer 2010 Runway Review Excerpt: Twinkle's strongest looks were print-less frothy chiffon layered dresses and some surprisingly smart pants that also came in either watercolor florals or scattered digitals. While printed pants aren't usually the easiest to pull off, here thanks to her subtle prints, they seemed like a very strong, fresh option. When it first came on the scene Twinkle's Wenlan Chia was armed with some highly desirable tricks up her sleeve with her strengths being feminine knitwear with a sculptural edge, beaded and baubled necklaces at attainable price points and prints that are so graphic and complex they stand on their own (to me she's the states version of

NY Fashion Week: Yigal Azrouel Spring / Summer 2010

Yigal Azrouel | Fashion Show Spring / Summer 2010 Runway Review Excerpt: Yigal Azrouel did have his highly desirable outerwear on full display alongside some great contrasting cocktail frocks, some 80's sex-pot sliced swimwear and some 10+ menswear looks that were some of the strongest options for men New York has seen for quite some time. Yigal Azrouel is one New York designer I've been enthused about for years not only because his clothing is very well made for it's semi-modest price points, but also because it's never overtly trendy, his pieces always have a quiet urban appeal that stand on their own. >> See our complete runway coverage and fashion show photos Unfortunately this time around for Spring/Summer 2010
