I’ve been a very naughty girl. McQueen’s passing and my trip to NY has resulted in zero posts during NY Fashion week. I shall make up for it with this fascinating, riveting post.

Ready?
            
Yigal Azrouel didn’t disappoint me. He brought suits on the runway with an edginess yet still kept it wearable for the everyday office woman. His lines were slimming and definitely not boring. He threw in leather, pinstripes and embroidered details upon black, greys and earth hues.

Jeremy Laing evoked the spirit of his country’s natural resources. Light weight fur coats made of beaver, raccoon and muskrat pellets, along with a trapper-esque style hit the runway. Not denying his deconstructive style, he made his pieces less complicated but kept the hard lines and layering. I was a huge fan of his last line but I find this season’s pieces a bit too reminiscent of what I escaped from - country living. Despite this I love the textures, fur pieces, and tight legging styled pants.


Alexander Wang also went the suit route. He decided that his women couldn’t always wear a lightweight tee to work although comfortable. Deconstructed suits with surprise slivers of skin, layers, and a bondage theme. My one gripe, although on the rise; velvet. I hate it and he used it a lot. Although, this wont stop me from shopping his velvet-less pieces for work. Oh, and I hated the hair.... greasy and stringy to work?


Still looking forward to Proenza Schouler and 3.1 Phillip Lim.
