New York Fashion Week was glamorous and trendsetting, as always. One of the main trends this year was celebrating anniversaries! Calvin Klein has been in business 40 years, Betsey Johnson for 30, DKNY 20, and Tuleh 10!
Beside anniversaries one of the trends at New York fashion week was jersey dresses. Donna Karen and BCBG Max Azria both featured dresses made of jersey that freely draped around the body. Donna Karen’s version was a bit more sexy and appropriate for night, while BCBG Max Azria’s was a more delicate. Slouchy pants were also a trend at fashion week. Ralph Lauren, Donna Karen, and Nichole Miller all showcased loose fitting, relaxed pants. So this spring you can kiss your skinny jeans goodbye because a 90’s trend has finally arrived, scary.
Moving on to a more pleasing subject, magenta will be the new “it” color for spring 2009! This is a relief because it compliments various skin tones beautifully. Matthew Williamson and Adam Lippes collections featured magenta. I loved Matthew Williamson’s magenta patent leather jacket and matching mini skirt! Earth tones were also a very popular color theme. Although they are a lot more subtle then magenta, they are also very wearable. Designers such as Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, Donna Karen, and Zac Posen featured gold, khaki, and bronze in their collections.
Rocker chic was all over the runways at New York Fashion Week. Alexander Wang showcased leather jackets, textured tights, and studded booties. Diesel Black Gold also followed the rocker theme by featuring leather biker vests. My favorite piece from Diesel Black Gold was a plaid trench coat, which they paired with grey ankle boots and a black top hat! To the other end of the spectrum, embellished bohemian was also a very popular trend. Diane Von Furstenberg was very hippy-esque by having her models wear silk flowers and braided leather in their hair. Milly was also very bohemian with frocks that had a “hippy” theme to them. Miss Sixty displayed the trend by accessorizing with crochet hats.
Luckily, most of these trends are actually very wearable. Of course there were many others out there, I just chose a few.
