To say that I’m a little excited for NY Fashion Week to start this week would be an understatement. I don’t plan to follow the shows themselves all that closely, but I can’t wait to come home from work to the blogosphere’s coverage every day. I was just starting to follow the blogs for the spring shows (which are in fall, of course), and now I feel like I’ve developed enough of an amateur eye to appreciate it all.
Every season New York Magazine does a fashion week preview slideshow of images from designers who picked one visual interpretation of what inspired their lines. From the likes of the images, I’d say we’re in for a treat. There was so much diversity in the images, and I foresee that reflected in the collections. Overall, lots of color and one common theme: non-conformity. I can barely type just imagining the possibilities.
Some of my favorites:
Jen Kao- “Foxy”
Band of Outsiders – “West”
Nicole Miller – Freedom
Erin by Erin Fetherston – “Fantasia”
J. Crew – “Shape”
Jason Wu – “Stark”
