New York Fashion Week

Tim Blanks says "Its an Election Year and most of the styles are based around optimism." In my opinion, that is the best way to sum up New York Fashion Week. Many of the designers took very splashy colors, prints and shapes and added them in their lines. For example, Poppy von Villeneuve defined Zac Posen's line as an "Easter egg hunt of color." Some designers stepped out of there norm and did somethings you wouldn't have expected. For example, Micheal Kors has never used polkadots before until this year, according to Tim Banks, style.com's correspondent. Many of the designers appeared to have fun with their collections.

So far, my favorite collection I have seen from New York Fashion Week is Diane von Furstenburg's. She always uses very interesting and different patterns and colors that add so much life to her collections. Most of her pieces have a natural flow to them that are very proprioceptive. Her collection is called Rock Goddess and she is trying to pull from a very inventive and free era. Her collection I feel was very original, different and beautiful and her clothes could be worn by women of all ages.

The most interesting collection from New York Fashion Week is hands down Calvin Klein. It was a totally different feel than typical Calvin Klein and it showcased styles that could be viewed almost as sculptures. Cathy Horyn from her New York Times Article New York Finale says it best: "There were moments of awkwardness but in the main the collection worked, and maybe was clearest and best in the finale dresses—strapless works of geometry in luscious shades of lavender, periwinkle and deep blue silk."
