Fashion Week Reviews

So since this is New York Fashion Week, I was looking back at some Fashion Week photos from September the last couple of years. I realized that I still actually like some of them. I viewed them as very fashion-forward because they are still trendy too! A couple of my favorites were from the Fashion Weeks in Paris (still working on getting there), Milan, and London.

Burberry Prorsum Spring 2012

This collection, designed by Christopher Bailey, featured upbeat colors, with a dash of a homemade or traditional feel using the beading, knitted materials, knee-length pleated skirts, etc. However, I felt that although this was one of my favorites, the concept was a bit overdone. I don't know, just the whole "oh, I based my collection off of the inspiration of a 1960's women's life," You know what I mean?

Proenza Schouler Resort 2011

Just when I begin to say that I can't see the necklace, I realize how great this outfit is! I especia- POW! That green satchel-style handbag had the same effect on me. A sudden focal punch of color from a whole different color scheme. My exact words- "Ooo, look at those cute vertical stripes! I really like that blazer. The two patterns work well togeth- oh did you SEE that lime green bag?" A little busy and unusual for it to be in a ready-to-wear category, but most fashionistas would like the uniqueness of it. Good job Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough. From this photo I'm sure the line was a hit in the city.

Givenchy Spring 2012

As for this last outfit, I love the overall modern feel of it. The collared sleeveless button-down shirt, the fitted pants, and the 2-strap matching shoes make the perfect foundation for the loose blazer-looking vest. I love it! I don't even think it would need accessories. Still, I wouldn't dare to leave out at least a pair of embellished studs, but the option is always good to have I guess.
