80’s Baby: Marc Jacobs @ NY Fashion Week

80’s Baby: Marc Jacobs @ NY Fashion Week

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.

Matthew Williamson’s Global Grind

Matthew Williamson’s Global Grind

Matthew Williamson @ NY Fashion Week

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.

Going to a red carpet event in 30 minutes and Rachel Zoe hasn’t showed up with your dress?

Badgley Mishka is always safe bet.

They always turn out perfect gowns that won’t get you on anyone’s “worst dressed list” and I’m pretty sure at this point, they can sew these gowns with their eyes closed.

But this year, instead of playing it safe, Badgley Mischka rocked it out a little bit with gold lame, tiers of pewter tulle and embellishments that inched them out of their safety zone while still guaranteeing that you’ll look stunning — not scary.

Perfect for the Oscars, the Emmys, the SAG Awards…or you know, walking the dog and such.

Jason Wu: (First) Ladies Choice

Jason Wu: (First) Ladies Choice

Jason Wu gown @ NY Fashion Week

What does a hot, young designer do after whipping up an inaugural ball gown for Michelle Obama? He shows at Fashion Week of course!

For his Fall/Winter collection, Jason Wu focused on what got him here — ladylike dresses fit for a First Lady — a super-stylish one at that.

There were clothes that shifted easily from day to night — the neutral grey day dress with circular appliques on a cap sleeve and slim, grey cigarette pants paired with a cropped blazer on Jourdan Dunn.

But for Jason Wu, demure doesn’t mean dull. Cocktail dresses came in punchy chartreuse, vibrant red and regal purple colors. Dresses were made sexy with transparent, peek-a-boo panels and maribou accents.
