Twice a year, fashionistas come together and embrace the future of fashion. Yes, we are referring to the fabulousness of Fashion Week. February 10 kicked off the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week's Fall 2011 season in New York City. Since its inception in 1943, Fashion Week attracts people from far and wide to judge the next generation of fashion. Here are our go's and no's from this year's Fall collections.
Go: Carolina Herrera
Always chic and polished, Carolina Herrera's Fall 2011 collection features youthful evening wear and cinched jackets that remind us of 1940's Hollywood. Fur details exaggerate this luxurious glam look. All we can say is, you did it again Ms. Herrera.
Go: Thakoon
Hello color and silhouettes! Thakoon has integrated playful colors with different structures to offer wearable silhouettes. The best part of this collection is the array of body types that will look great in these pieces. Stunning and versatile, what more could a girl ask for?
No: Proenza Schouler
No: Proenza Schouler
We enjoy a mixture of patterns and textures just as much as the next woman, but there is a point of no return. Proenza Schouler found it in its Fall 2011 collection. Futhermore, if that chunky sweater adds 40 lbs. on a 115 lbs. model, what will it do for a girl with an actual body? We shudder just thinking about it.
No: Custo Barcelona
Custo Barcelona's collection is a confusing mix of the 1970's (not the good parts) and a futuristic idea of fashion. Think of Joni Mitchell as a Jetson...not appealing.
Among the many designers showcased in NYC, Michael Kors and Cynthia Rowley also hit it out of the park. There was so much great fashion last week, it is impossible to blog it all. For a complete overview of the designers and their looks, visit www.mbfashionweek.com.
