80’s Baby: Marc Jacobs @ NY Fashion Week
Marc Jacobs is known for playing with different periods and the Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2010 collection was a complete throwback to the ’80s punk era. From the spiked hair, printed tights and structured elements on a dress, he completely embraced the era with a collection that embraced the decade of excess.

Oscar de la Renta knows the key to my heart…leopard print!
The Park Avenue locale was the perfect setting for the uptown fashion that he’s known for. Oscar never disappoints and came through with high fashion separates, suits, cocktail dresses and evening gowns.
The aubergine pants from Oscar de la Renta Fall/Winter 2008 made another appearance and I’m finding them just as crave-worthy as before. I love the long lines and precise tailoring of the Oscar de la Renta trouser. They pair pefectly with a ruffled silk blouse from last season or a slim, leopard-printed knit from this season.

I loooooove Matthew Williamson!
I adore the way he uses ethnic prints and even when he had a bit of a dust-up over being a little too inspired by the Ethiopian national costume in his Spring/Summer ‘08 collection, I still loved his swag.
Well, the Matthew Williamson Fall/Winter 2010 collection just gave me more of what I love — rich color, ethnic beading, and a certain global je ne sais quoi.
High points: chunky knits, hand beading on sexy dresses and color explosions that take you from India to Africa and beyond.
Low points: not a damn thing.
