NY fashion week Vol.2
I’ve been running around since Monday this week and entries are being stacked up in piles. After chatting with Awais on Skype, both of us agreed that NY fashion week is just so much better these days. There’re so many new names to catch up and those familiar ones seem also being injected with new blood as well, which fits this city’s energy completely.
To start with, Canadian designer Jeremy Laing caught my eyes last season by reading SusieBubble‘s. And this season he’s certainly no failing. Earthy colours mixed within vast of textures from fur to chunky knits to fine jersey.
Preen is continuously being strong, artisic and commercial. Review at Style.com stated that ‘a good show can be sensed from people without discussions to each other’. Pale nude, creme and black are being mixed into all kinds of shapes and forms which is just wonderful.
I also very much enjoy the mini-collection of Lutz & Patmos. Layers of fine knits teamed with silver metallic cigarette pants are looking american-ish ‘tres chic’.
Most commercial collection would be Rag & Bones. To be honest, no ground-braking. Stylist’s job is definitely more praised there. But I can tell, at the end it’ll be followed by high-street religiously.
