After a predictably busy weekend at New York Fashion Week here are my top favourite collections in for Winter 09.
Alexander Wang's show was to bubble with press interest and the recent winner of the Vogue Fashion Fund did not disappoint. Models were heavily lycra clad with cycling shorts and leggings galore this was complimented with tailored jackets and a lot of skin! Panels of fabric were creatively slashed out of tops and dresses in a development from this seasons panelled bodycon trend.
A lady like front was presented by United Bamboo with tweeds, silks and satins. Vintage shifts and pussy bows mixed with graphic prints and sporting style cropped slouch pants. Grey was a definite core colour. This collection oozed a mature preppy style that will definetly be catching.
The Adam collection was super luxurious with it's relaxed, dripping silhouettes. Loose draped fabric in expensive silver and ruby red. Clashing prints with texture and chunky, stiff knitwear with fluid light knits. A celebration of wearable, comfortable style.
My absolute favourite was undoubtly Vena Cava’s, see picture, Winter 09 offering. A collection brimming with rock and roll attitude, angry graphic prints, attention seeking sequins and serious structure. A matured, developed bodycon style was noted with sophisticated and reworked panelling. Effortless success.
