I <3 NY[fw]

NY fashion week ended today and, as I try to be a good fashion student, I reviewed as many shows as possible. Below I compiled a few of my favorites (sans the consideration of today's shows).

I really love all the use of sheers with a lot of collections. The Marchesa dresses are breathtaking, I continually adore the romantic looks from Vera, I want to be the girl that Peter Som designed that collection for, loved the lace and ruffles and downright fun at Betsey, and Doo.Ri and Alex Wang...genius!! I only wish I could design/wear anything like it!

until next post!

Barbie's a star

Photos of my Vera Wang/Aurora Borealis inspired red carpet Barbie. I finished her forever ago, but just now found the time to post these:

Vera!

I'm making two posts today. The first, a tribute to Vera Wang's Pre-Fall 2009 collection & Fall 2009 Lavender Label collection. I won't gush about them too much. I could go on and on about her exquisite design sense and the luxurious, nonchalance her clothes have. Below are a few of my favs. I love how you can cleary see the two audiences/markets she has in mindfor each collection. The Lavender Label collection is more youthful and urban while her namesake collection has that mature class. Oh, how I love Vera!:
