New York Fashion Week Spring 2012 (Part 3)

After Part 1 and Part 2, here’s the third post dedicated to New York’s fashion week (and there are more to come). The truly devoted ones should know how I work, but for the newcomers here’s how I do it: A short word on what I think of the collection + pictures of my favorite looks, if I found any.

So let’s go and check this out !

Chadwick Bell

It’s the first time I check out this brand and all I can say is that there’s nothing really extraordinary about it, or at least about this collection, it lacks identity perhaps, but I somehow managed to find interesting stuff in there.

Check the whole collection here. 

 

Charlotte Ronson

Sweet, fresh, delicate, with a discreet stylish touch, that’s exactly what girls should be looking for, basic stuff with some kind of twist. In brief: I liked it.

I have a thing for this last gown, it’s so original, yet still wearable.

Check the rest of it here.

 

Chris Benz

I just can’t talk about it, for unknown reasons. This collection simply doesn’t work for me…

You can still check it here.

 

Christian Cota

Also a discovery for me as I didn’t know him before, I have to say that it didn’t left me untouched. What’s great about this collection is that every woman can find something that’ll work for her, whether she’s edgy or classic.

Check the whole collection here. 

 

Christian Siriano

And one more unknown-till-today designer for me, but I’ll have to say that this one marked me, particularly because of the quality of his work, the colours are impressive, and the cuts too, even though one may say that it lacks originality.

I love the t-shirts tucked in the skirt, I know it’s been already seen, I just like it.

Check the rest of the collection here.

 

Costello Tagliapietra

Oh my… I really feel uncultivated today… That’ll be the fourth brand I’ve never heard about ! Okay… It’s a bit dejà-vu, the cuts are very Lanvin-like but you just can’t label it as ‘’ugly’’ so I have to show you some designs, that every girl would like.

The colours are beautiful too !

Check the whole collection here.

 

Creatures of the Wind

What’s this name anyway ?

If you like ugly check this.

 

Cushnie et Ochs

I really loved the spirit of this collection, the geometric shapes, the technical prowess, it’s really original and creative, but in a way that can please the average woman and that’s what’s interesting.

Check the rest of the collection here.

 

Custo Barcelona

Or not.

Check it here.

 

Cynthia Rowley

I love, love the whole mood floating around these creations, I feel like every woman would look astonishing in them and feel as important as a fashion icon. The whole thing is absolutely awesome, keep these in mind ladies !

This my friends, is how ready-to-wear should work.

Check the whole collection here.

 

Cynthia Steffe

Not AMAZING, but these particularly stunned me, the way they are constructed is very beautiful and sensible.

I particularly love this last outfit.

Check the rest of the collection here.

 

Daryl K

Easy to do, easy to wear, it’s the kind of collection you love but doesn’t haunt you for weeks, or even days, (and maybe even hours). Yet it has it’s beauty and it’s charm. Note an interesting use of colours.

 

Check the rest of the collection here.

 

Dennis Basso

Good ideas, bad execution.

Check it here.

 

Derek Lam

I never heard of him until now, and all I can say is that he’s got a very interesting way of doing ready-to-wear. I love his cuts, and the way he uses his creativity to create basics with a touch of originality. He’s one to follow.

Check the rest of the collection here.

 

And that’s it for today ! I hope you’re enjoying these short reviews as much as I do, if not, or if you disagree on some point, simply let me know by commenting or by sending an e-mail.

See ya !

New York Fashion Week Spring 2012 (Part 2)

Okay… So here’s the second part, and people… I’m gonna get real badass, because there are just so many designers, I have so little time, and tons are just not worth the attention… So as the first part (that you can check here), I’ll be giving my opinion on each collection in a very short paragraph, and follow my sayings with pictures of my favorite looks… So here we go peeps for our second round !

Badgley Mischka

I loved some stuff of this collection, but some things were really too cheap for me… Especially when I think that this is what the american ‘bourgeois’ wear at galas… I can’t help but think ‘’Oh my…’’, yet some dresses are simply spectacular !

I love the colour of this last dress !

Check the rest of the collection here.

 

Band of Outsiders

As many others, this is a brand I don’t know much about, all I can say is that they have pretty simple stuff, but it’s not: ‘’Ukh, it’s too simple’’, it’s more like: ‘’Now that’s simple, yet very pleasant’’. Girls… Pay attention !

The rest of it is over here.

 

Barbara Tfank

Why bother ?

Check it here.

 

BCBG Max Azria

I’ll start by saying that I was a bit disappointed by this collection, it’s not what we’re used to ! When did all the ready-to-wear couture vanished ? Anyway, there’s something new we need to check, some sort of minimalism with a colourful touch… It seems like no one will be escaping this revolution…

Check the whole collection here.

 

Bebe

Cheapness incarnated ! If you enjoy whoring around, this is a style for you ! Dress like a virgin ingenue this season !

Check the whole thing here.

 

Betsey Johnson

I must admit that Betsey Johnson’s collection is one of the most awaited ones for me. And I’m glad to see that once again she fullfilled my expectations, juicy, cheap, bad tasted with a sweet touch of glamour and frenzy class, you just can’t hate it, can you ? It’s what every girl dreams of having in her closet ! A modern princess outfit !

I must admit I don’t really like the shoes though…

Check the rest of the party here.

 

Bibhu Mohapatra

I don’t know who the bloody hell he is (perhaps a young beginner), but the collection was half-good, half-bad ! Not in the ‘’fine’’ or ‘’not fine’’ way, but more like in the ‘’Wow !’’ or ‘’Ugh !’’ way. I really liked these few outfits and hope the designer will continue on this track.

  I have a thing for this last outfit… It’s flawless to me…

The rest of the collection’s over here.

 

Bill Blass

This is one more brand I don’t know a great deal about… But I have to say that among the ‘simple’ ones, this one’s a good one. Very classy, very strict, almost flawless, this stuff would suit anyone, slip it and you’ll look effortlessly stylish… I guess ?

This red is astonishing, I’d fall so easily…

I’m loving this !

Check the rest of this beautiful collection here.

 

Billy Reid

There’s not much to this collection, except these two outfits… The rest is simply not worth commenting, it’s too… Just too.

If you feel like it, check the collection here.

 

Calvin Klein Collection

As the master of minimalism, it is without doubt that the collection was extremely simple. And it is obviously lacking originality. Yet, for some mysterious reason, there’s something about these outfits that’s mesmerising, it captures your heart in a way that won’t let you say it’s ugly, on the contrary you’ll always find all of this amazing, in this case follow your instinct without thinking too much: Calvin Klein is simply amazing.

Fierce !

Amazement’s over here.

 

Carlos Miele

Not gonna happen.

You can still check it here.

 

Carolina Herrera

Okay… Forget about Betsey’s sexy juicy outfits ! Sometimes I like my girls simply disturbing in breathtaking feminine wonders such as Carolina Herrera’s outfits. To sum up: I really love this collection, and all of the essence surrouding it.

These two last gowns are stupendous !

The rest of the collection’s over here.

 

Chado Ralph Rucci

And to finish, I present to you a dude I didn’t know about. And I have to say that I find his work pretty much attractive. It’s not really a statement, yet it is beautiful, simple, with a touch of originality, just enough for you to actually see a real human being wearing it, and that’s what I like here.

If you like these, check the rest here.

 

And… That’s all folks ! I hope you’re liking this, and as usual if you have anything to share you can comment right here, or send me an e-mail, I’d be glad to hear from you !

See ya !
