New York. The lyrics Concrete jungle where dreams are made of , were the only description available that summarized NYFW in 7 words. The dreams are of course the clothing that paraded on catwalks (and those Oscar de la Renta hats). New York based designers created collections that are worthy of being dreamy- not in the sense of a dream being something unreal, but dreams of the kind that are beautiful and are just what you need. The collections were anything but unreal. The clothes were wearable and had a purpose but were far from blunt; they carried some of that je ne sais quoi.
While some of the highlights included Victoria Beckham's magnificent take on menswear inspired pieces, Altuzarra's oversized fur mittens and tailoring appearing almost on every catwalk, the highlight of the highlight was Oscar de la Renta. The reason? Two words: John Galliano and Oscar de la Renta. The master of couture and notorious John Galliano put his touch on the collection of another masterful couturist. Magic.
My personal highlights was Alexandre Herchcovitch's collection of ready-to-wear couture-like masterpieces and Oscar de la Renta (Have I mentioned Oscar enough times yet?) and every oversized coat that walked across a catwalk.
If you're taking notes for the future 6 months from now, maybe "red" "tailored" "over-the-knee boots" and "oversized" should be included.

ReplyDeleteI don't see the Galliano touch in this de la REnta collection. The Oscar de la Renta style is too strong ...I wrote about that on my blog :)

Thanks for the summary, I can never be bothered to look through all the shows myself. I know. That's beyond lazy. Anyways I loved the fuzzy Phillip Lim sweater and the Victoria Beckham look with the cape. And THAT hair from Marc Jacobs (Although it looks kind of funny on Cara I think..) xx
