So I've Been Weak at NY Fashion Week

I've had a preoccupied week so i haven't been posting on NY Fashion Week. i did get excited about seeing the Project Runway Collection. so the episode for this event hasn't aired so if you want to know what the collections are, stop reading after this next period. one of the finalists was Karen Vaughn. her collection was quite varied and therefore lacked fluidity. her show was noncohesive. however she did have some beautiful quite feminine pieces. i really like the dark maroon and black dress, with the slightly belled almost kimono-like sleeves.

A little more pleasing was the Rami Kashou collection. his experience in dress making is clearly evident. he creates these delicate yet elegant luxurious evening gowns. it was definitely a more formal collection.

so Christian Siriano made the final cut. this was definitely one of my favourites. his show was definitely more fluid than than Karen's. he kept with his feminine edwardian musketeer theme. the detail, and contrast in fabrics made Christian's experience and professionalism shine through.

the following images are of a violent nature, 18 years of age are required. i don't have anything to say about Chris March's collection except that its a gothic mess.

the last but definitely not the least was Jillian Lewis' show. her uber-feminine collection was tasteful. there weren't a whole lot of new ideas in it. it actually reminded alot of what mara hoffman collection's are like with all of the constructed bustier's.
