So New York Fashion Week is over now. My personal opinion is that it could have been much better. I don’t know if its the recession’s fault or if the designers just weren’t as creative as usually, but this season there were way more shows that sucked than shows that impressed me. Actually there were just a few shows that really made me go “wow”, there was Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren, Oscar De La Renta…that’s all that comes to my mind. So what will we wear next summer? Besides lots of shiny fabrics and wide pants, designers used a lot of blue in their collections, which I like a lot. Blue is a great color and looks good to almost anything. Here are my favorite blue outfits from New York Fashion Week S/S 10:

I made this collage of models at the Anna Sui fashion show,because seeing them smile is a very rare thing. Usually our favorite models look rather pale and serious at fashion shows, but Anna Sui always changes that. It’s as if she brings the models to life, they look healthy, happy and fun and I especially loved Vlada Roslyakova and Sasha Pivovarova at this season’s show. With their cat eye masks and cute smiles they defintely made me smile too : )

I’m sorry but I just have to say this: Fashion has no rules but THIS is ridiculous. I am really open for a lot of crazy things when it comes to fashion, but this huge Alexandre Herchcovitch creation looking like a clown meets football player is just too much. It also reminds me of a huge bug…watch out! It’s coming! It will eat you!!! Ruuuuuun!!!!

Remember the Sex and the city episode in which Carrie Bradshaw compares an Oscar de la renta dress to poetry? She is with Alexandr who reads old fashioned poems to her when she stops him and says: ”How about I read you a little bit of my favorite poetry?”Aleksandr : “Please.”Carrie [Reads from Vogue] :” “Cocktails at Tiffany’s calls for classic charm. Oscar de la Renta sleeveless silk full skirted dress with black patent leather bow belt.” Now that is pure poetry.” I absof***inglutely love that scene and the reason why I tell you about this is todays Oscar De La Renta Fashion Show in NY. The collection blew my mind, it’s that beautiful. The dresses are so elegant and feminine and the best is, they look like ODLR but he never repeats himself. His collections are effortlessly chic, and I adore everything about this one, from the hair and make up of the models to the shoes. Take a look…

Finally!!! I was really not impressed by New York Fashion Week so far, but Vera Wang showed us a beautiful collection today! I might not seam very summery with all that black, but that doesn’t make it any less wonderful. The light sheer fabrics, the interesting cuts and the classiness of it all makes me love this collection. But the highlight were the accessories. Amazing jewellery and shoes that scream “Buy me!” really stood out. Here are my favorites of Vera Wang S/S 10:

Yes, I admit it. Sometimes I can be a real girly girl and I love everything that involves glitter, sparkles, sequins, pink and shiny things. That’s why I loved these three dresses! They’re gold, they sparkle and they’re girly and cool at the same time. The one in the middle is from the Derek Lam collection, which I really really liked btw, the other two dresses are by Diane Von Furstenberg. Hope to see more glittery things at New York Fashion Week!

I hate rain. Especially because my hair gets all messy and curly when it’s raining so I feel kinda bad for everyone at New York Fashion Week who can’t afford a driver to get them from A to B, because aparently it’s been very rainy during the last few days. The positive side of this is, I get to see cool streetstyle outfits of models, trying to not get wet. There are those who wear “traditional” black umbrellas, those who sport colorful umbrellas and those who dont carry umbrellas, but use their scarves to cover their heads (That’s what I would do too cos I don’t like carrying umbrellas). I fell in love with the girl’s look on the picture above, she looks lovely with her leather gloves and black and white outfit including gum boots!. Here’s some more rainy outfits… *raindrops keep fallin on my head, they keep fallin…*:

So, Alexander Wang’s collection wasn’t really pretty or wearable BUT so far it is the only collection that stood out and is stuck in my head. Besides the preppy clothes, the hair and make up of the models attracted my attention, because i really like braids especially if they’re a bit messy and wild like at Alexander Wang’s Show. The most fun and beautiful picture are always taken backstage. The models are allowed to pose the way they want and hang out with their model friends and of course you get to see the designer’s clothes better than on the runway pictures. So here are the best backstage at Alexander Wang pics:

Well, what can I tell you, day 3 of New York Fashion Week is almost over and I am still really not impressed. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a hater and I appreciate every collection, it’s just that this time NY Fashion Week seems not as exciting as usually. Maybe I expected too much…. the highlight of Day 2 and 3 for me was seeing Behati Prinsloo at the Lacoste and Arise Fashion Show. She looked really cute and beautiful in both fashion shows. At Arise she wore orange lipstick which suits hardly any woman, but she looked amazing! I also like seeing pictures of her and her boyfriend Jamie, they always look very happy together.
Besides Behati, where are all the other topmodels? Has anyone seen Natasha? Coco? Lily? It’s boring without them…

Really, I am a bit disappointed by the Fashion Shows and collections at New York Fashion Week so far. Everything was rather boring and felt kinda like…been there done that. The things that caught my eye weren’t pieces of the designers collections, but outfits of celebrities and the Fashion’s Night Out event. I found Sarah Jessica Parker adorable in her very creative outfit last night. She wore the Fashion’s Night Out T-Shirt with a beautiful silky pink skirt and black belt. Once again she showed her “Carrie” side. Another cool thing last night was Natasha Poly and Alexander Wang playing Guitar Hero, they seemed to have so much fun! The third and final thing that attracted my attention was Whitney Port, because I actually really liked her outfit that she wore at her own fashon show. Lovely colors and cuts, she looked great! I really hope day 2 will be more exciting fashion wise though…
