Living in the college bubble of small-town Gainesville almost gives us an excuse to brush off a big event like New York Fashion Week. These seven golden days are a haven to big-name designers and fashionistas with even bigger bank accounts, and it’s easy to understand why the event seems like another world to us here in Gator land. But this past week proved to small towns everywhere that New York Fashion Week is worth all the talk. February 10-17 marked the date for New York’s “Super Bowl of Fashion” to reveal the fall collections of the biggest designers in the fashion world. This year, the event made a location switch from the traditional tents at Bryan Park (featured in Project Runway) to Damrosch Park at the Lincoln Center where guests received the true red carpet treatment.
Here’s a short summary of the big week, hitting the highpoints of designers and style. Fur, high-waisted pants and skirts and up the leg slits are here to stay, shown by several designers. Michael Kors matched full-length fur coats with very wearable high-waisted trousers and Badgley Mischka prominently featured furs coupled with wool and patterned knits. Kors also opposed the “covered up” look for fall with cut-outs and slits that somehow still kept it classy and sophisticated. Eli Tahari’s collection included different looks with fur as well, worn with lighter, casual fabrics for day-time outfits.
For the color pallet of the week, shades like rich reds, and bright blues and purples appeared across several designers. Gowns throughout the week by Farah Angsana, Monique Lhuillier and Bradgley Mischka proved to be Oscar worthy, making these solid colors look brand new. Light dresses with a subtle simmer were also a recurring trend set by the designs of Michele Smith, Nanette Lepore and Derek Lam.
For the many people involved in fashion, you may be wondering exactly what is New York fashion week? Fashion week is frequently known as Olympus fashion week due to the fact that its current sponsor is Olympus; however in recent years past its was also known as Mercedes Benz fashion week because they were the sponsors at that time.
Each separate gigantic tent has air conditioning and is separated into several areas. New York fashion week happens two times a year.
Designs for the forthcoming fall season are featured at the fashion week show which occurs the preceding February. Designs for the approaching spring are featured in the September fashion show.Source URL: http://emmeppi.blogspot.com/2011/11/new-york-fashion-week.html
