Day one of New York Fashion Week and a clear sign of the times. There was to be no huge shows, extravagance had well and truly left the building. Instead the first designer of the week, Jenni Kayne, showed her new collection at her parent’s home and the second to show, Lyn Devon, invited guests to a local interior design store. The subdued mood echoed the mood of New York’s current financial climate. It wasn’t all doom and gloom though and the choice of venue shows a willingness of the fashion world to alter itself appropriately.
Lyn Devon’s clever collection encouraged us to mix pieces from this Spring/Summer with Winter key buys. She worked bright florals and metallic’s with winter hues of grey and lilac and the odd splash of warm red. Devon presented a great understanding that people may only buy one or two key pieces in Winter 09 with such a workable collection. Next Winter is looking good already.
