Yestadt Millinery Fall 2011: Cat Hats and Western Fringe

Posted: 17 Feb 2011 09:57 AM PST

In an intimate room inside of the Soho Grand Hotel last night, we got a chance to sip some champagne and check out NYC-based Yestadt Millinery’s Fall 2011 collection of quirky hats.

A wide assortment of different shapes, colors, and materials were used in the collection, but the 70′s Western and neon trends of the moment were a common theme. Novelty items like fedoras were accented by a hot pink ribbon, a slight ombre creating a shadow effect, and felt cat eyes and whiskers, that they think will do well in their Japanese market.

Yigal Azrouël Fall 2011: Menswear Shapes, Mod Colors

Posted: 17 Feb 2011 08:42 AM PST

In a strategic move last month, Yigal Azrouël showed his men's collection in Paris instead of New York. But it was yesterday's women's show that really told how much menswear has been on his mind:

For fall, Yigal's girl is running with the boys, in tailored pants, tuxedo jackets, heeled loafers, and even bow ties. But that girl is doing so with a fistful of RIT dye, coloring the separates in cobalt, tangerine, emerald, and bubblegum. The result falls somewhere in a Venn diagram overlap of "girly menswear", a sweet spot for smartly styled Hollywood ensembles and many a Teen Vogue editorial.

Adrienne Vittadini Fall 2011: Modern Muses–Don’t Call Them Old

Posted: 17 Feb 2011 07:34 AM PST

A mere seven models walked in only 13 looks at the Adrienne Vittadini presentation at Lincoln Center yesterday afternoon. But it wasn't about the clothes. It was about the models.

The presentation, aptly titled "Modern Muses," featured Niki Taylor, Carol Alt, Roshumba, Pat Cleveland, Frederique van Der Wal, Irina Pantaeva, and Carmen Dell'Orefice. All old school, and all fabulous. After a week of watching prepubescent beanpoles walk all over New York City, it was a pleasure to see these ladies looking real and having a blast. It was a brilliant move by Adrienne Vittadini, because the place was packed with an enthusiastic crowd.

Karen Walker Fall 2011: Working Girls

Posted: 17 Feb 2011 07:16 AM PST

Karen Walker’s AW11 show was her toughest yet. Inspired by working a class dance club in Northern England, Wigan Casino (where the dock workers went to boogie for the weekend), Walker’s peachy aesthetic received a touch of edge. The palette was considerably less saturated than most Walker showings, with black, navy, grey, dusty rose, and white as the main colorway, plus added hints of teal, cobalt, orange and red towards the show’s end.

Love is Blind, We are Not. School Rules.

Posted: 17 Feb 2011 07:05 AM PST

What established writer shared some harsh words about a young blogger at the Narciso Rodriguez show? She complained to her seatmates, “Doesn’t she have math class to go to, or something? I don’t care what she says. She doesn’t even write that stuff anyway?”

Hervé Léger by Max Azria Fall 2011: If It Ain’t Broke…

Posted: 16 Feb 2011 09:38 PM PST

The Hervé Léger show feels more like going to a rock concert than a fashion show. Showgoers are like groupies who all wear their concert tees (read: bandage dresses) to see their favorite designer live. This season, Max Azria’s crafted “inimitable suit[s] of armor.” The signature body-con dresses were in a neutral palette of beige, brown, black and white but adorned with gold hardware, silver chain, and leather harnesses. And while there were plenty of skin tight silhouettes, a flouncy A-line skirt was introduced to the mix, and there were even, gasp, a few pairs of pants. Max Azria front row pet Leigh Lezark was there, as was Karolina Kurkova, looking stunning as usual.

Proenza Schouler Fall 2011: New York Energy

Posted: 16 Feb 2011 08:55 PM PST

A lady sitting near me at Proenza Schouler–you know this lady, she’s very important in fashion circles–said nonchallantly to her acquaintance, “There are only two New York shows that I’m really ever that excited about: Proenza Schouler and Rodarte.” Her friend quietly agreed. While we’re not that jaded, there is something about both labels, designed by young twenty-somethings of the same sex–one pair happens to be sisters, the other, friends–that makes their runways more significant than really anything else happening at New York Fashion Week.

Of course, there’s the cool factor–tonight Jen Brill, Terry Richardson, Liv Tyler, and Chloe Sevigny were all front row–but it’s also about talent.

Reed Krakoff Fall 2011: He’s Gonna Get to You

Posted: 16 Feb 2011 08:03 PM PST

Reed Krakoff naysayers, take heed: Each season, the collection gets better. And each season, Krakoff becomes harder to ignore.

You might not like how easy it’s been for him, but you’ve just got to get over it. He’s built Coach into a global power brand; are you really that surprised that he’s got great personal taste, too?

Styled by Edward Enninful, the first thing we must consider about the collection is the football shoulders. Most pieces–from a grey wool felt coat to a breezy chiffon dress in burgundy–boasted rounded and loose shoulders, a silhouette that is easier to pull off than it looks. (It adds balance to a full bottom and elongates legs.)

Jen Kao Fall 2011: In a Galaxy Far Far Away

Posted: 16 Feb 2011 06:18 PM PST

Jen Kao was on another planet when she designed her fall 2011 collection. The runway was lined with glowing lava to signify, according to her line sheet, “a new beginning,” and models looked a bit like beautiful aliens–fierce queens (not the Ru Paul Drag Race variety) from a far away galaxy: they wore iridescent armor (structured jackets and breast plates), tight printed jersey dresses in colors that looked like the rainbows you see in an oil slick over shimmering silver leggings, with gold netting and layers of fringe scattered throughout. It was like nothing I’d ever seen before, aside from prints Kao called “aerial planetary views” which looked very inspired by Christopher Kane’s galaxy collection.

I can’t begin to get inside Kao’s head for this out-of-this-world collection. Luckily, she broke it down in her line sheet and it’s too good not to quote in full:

Oscar de la Renta Fall 2011: Nomadic Opulence

Posted: 16 Feb 2011 04:14 PM PST

Oscar de la Renta loves his themes, and this season it was all about the uptown nomad, clad in Beukhara embroidered Ottoman jackets, Chintamani patchwork, and Moroccan Beni embroidered melton wool.

These were all ideas taken from Eastern and Middle Eastern culture, brought to de la Renta’s customer with silver fox fur, velvet shoes, and ivory alpaca. It was a seamless collection that will work as well for the ladies who lunch as it will the red carpet ingenues.

Biggest news: Kate Young, Natalie Portman’s stylist, sat front row…. Could this mean an Oscar for Natalie? (Pun intended, obviously.)
