New York
Fall Collections
Fashion week. It's here! From February 6th to March 5th, I will be in heaven (along with any other fashionista!) Fashion week occurs in New York, London, Milan and Paris a few times a year and the shows range from ready to wear to resort to couture. During (ready to wear) Fashion week, I check out the shows of my favorite designers and pick my favorite designs and write up a summary of each collection I view. I have decided to add some of my favorite photos here and share my summaries of my favorite collections for you all!
May I present to you ~ New York.
Rachel Roy is quoted as saying that the inspiration for her Fall fashions is "to make looking feminine-but-cool as simple as possible." I find her collection to be anything but simple. Her designs are ultra feminine with a touch of seduction, through the use of furs, lace and sheer panels. The colors are beautiful and have that "look at me now" quality. Deborah Lloyd, designer for Kate Spade New York, was inspired by her many trips to Asia, pulling elements such as playful prints and eye popping colors to the feminine silhouettes. View
My favorite design team, Max and Lubov Azria, have worked their magic once again. BCBG Max Azria's collection consisted of color blocking, asymmetric hemlines, layer upon layer and let's not forget the fur. I was appreciative of the use of white in many of the designs as well, as it brought a lightness to the muted color palette. In regard to Herve Leger by Max Azria, there was plenty of their signature body-con silhouettes featured in this collection. Add on numerous textures, such as feathers, fur, lace and leather, and these dresses transformed into their sexy Fall 2014 collection. View
The first word to come to mind when viewing Thakoon Panichgul's Fall 2014 collection is: Inventive. One of my favorites is known as the "turtleneck shoulder topper," shown here in black and pink. This collection revolved around layering and the color palette is an absolute delight. Diane von Furstenberg is celebrating her 40th anniversary this year. Her collection was titled "Bohemian Wrapsody," and showcased her iconic dresses. I found the prints to be a playful illusion to the eye and commend her on 40 years of perfection. View
NY Fashion Week Fall 2014 by restyledbyliz on Polyvore
I applaud Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez for their Fall 2014 Proenza Schouler collection. The drama of the rounded shoulder and dresses pieced together like a puzzle made for a fantastic show. The layering of prints at times was a tad overwhelming, but all in all, this collection breathed new life into Fashion Week. Marchesa has always been a favorite of mine and this statement still rings true after viewing this fashion show. Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig designed a beautiful collection with intricate detail. Each of these looks is a work of art and they truly are the masters of their craft. View
Zac Posen created a very pretty collection in a stunning array of gorgeous shades. His tailoring skills were at their finest and the draping and pleating details added to the elegance of the collection. Mark Badgley and James Mischka also did not disappoint. I was impressed with the intricate detailing on their famous gowns and loved the use of metallic brocade. I found this collection to be absolutely stunning and true to the Badgley Mischka label. View
I am in love with Ralph Lauren's entire Fall 2014 collection. The construction of every design is tailored to perfection and the color palette is incredibly soft and welcoming. This collection featured a design for every woman and every occasion. It was also announced during the show that the majority of the looks are from a new Polo line for women. Based on these gorgeous designs, I foresee a very successful future. View
Like others we have seen this season, the Kenneth Cole Collection focused on layering and outerwear for it's Fall line. Where Kenneth Cole strayed away from the pack, however, is in his use of a stark white color within an otherwise dark color palette. I appreciate a bright shock of white to lighten up a collection full of tweeds, knits and leather. Oscar de la Renta, another favorite of mine, created a Fall 2014 collection consisting of plenty of day wear, but my attention was focused more on the gowns. There is always a level of sophistication and elegance in his designs and these gowns did not disappoint. His gowns are beautifully detailed and I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of them on the red carpet for the upcoming Oscars. View
