New York Fashion Week S/S 2012. Day 7.

Phillip Lim's collection was a sorbet of colours. There were blacks but the standout looks were those pale colours layered over each other. The trousers were in silk and had an athletic feel to them with the vents that opened  over the shoe. The culottes were cut like basketball shorts with a subtle  mesh at the inner thighs. Tops and dresses had these panels that flapped in the wind as the models walked. I especially liked the razor back cut on I guess what you would call a blazer tank.

Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez showed and exceptional collection for their line Proenza Schouler. The short suits buttoned all the way up to the neck paired with wooden platforms, could be used as separates and look just as good. The A-line skirts in prints or that bright blue croc one on Liya moved so well coming down the runway. The dresses with the Hawaiian prints, my favorite was the one on Karolina with that sort of sweet heart neck line, over a long sleeve top. The collection was filled with great tailored pieces.-your Dealer.

New York Fashion Week S/S 2012. Day 6.

Michael Angel's spring collection is filled with beautiful copper tones inspired by ancient Egypt. The pleating work is exceptional on a 1920 painting of Cleopatra's face. The sandals looked good with every look and I thought were very essential and no other shoe was needed. YOu could visualize what you need to see with heels without them. The clothes were that good, the sharp tailoring on the grey printed coat and every pair of pants. HIs clothes have such a cool-elegance.

Karen Walker's spring collection has me reconsidering black as my favorite colour. Navy is obviously the new black. But prints were everywhere as well, florals, polka dots against stripes and houndstooth on  boyfriend blazers, dresses and shorts. I especially like the romper and turbans, I have a lot of time for turbans. It was just the tomboy effect by every look that got me super excited, there were so many pieces we can all have fun with.

Olivier Theyskens' collection Theyskens' Theory made me soil myself. It was absolutely brilliant everything about it screamed NewYork. From the combat boots with evening gowns to the jumpsuits and the denim. The denim, oh the denim, Theyskens had the nerve to have em high waisted and drop crotch at the same time, brilliance. And when they were slim down the leg, some times they would have that subtle slit at the inner ankle. Event the styling of the girl was great, so effortless and with such ease. I want every piece in this collection.-your Dealer.

New York Fashion Week S/S 2012. Day 5.

Carolina Herrera's show made my heart smile with that great, green sparrow print. The geometric almost art deco print, detailing simple, black, white or red dresses looked perfect done no the beaded evening looks. The cut of the trousers were perfection, along with the jackets, both had an almost sporty feel yet still not loosing it's expensive appeal. The silk scarves with the sparrow print I can see myself wearing for an add of drama. The look on Jourdan Dunn, was young, Herrera took beading to an organza tank and dotted silk skirt for an elegant evening look.But what really did it was the finale gowns in canary yellow, greens and the light green silk jersey number on Karmen Pedaru with the belt.

There was no lack of sex appeal at Betsey Johnson, for spring the designer was inspired by Burlesque. And it was evident with the skintight dresses that hugged in all the right places even on a non model's body. The prints were definitely Betsy, flowers, leopard and skulls. I especially adored the lingerie inspired skull and leopard rompers. the white biker jacket look take away the sheer white dress and wear the jacket with a great pair of ripped jeans and you have a downtown girl's uniform. Also fun was the dress with betsy's face and her name printed all over it. Betsy stays true to her aesthetic and never fails.

I was expecting Rachel Zoe's collection to be everything Rachel, exactly what she wears, all black and wide legged trousers. But there was one all black look, and one wide leg trouser. Instead traousers were straight leg and stopped right above the ankle. The stylist didn't exactly give anything new as far as trends, but you saw her great take on styling with the way the looks were put together. The blazers and big junky cardigan over evening dresses. There were one shouldered rompers, and mocha coloured shorts and pants. But my favorite look was the all white, with the sheer, silk blouse with high waisted skirt. I could so see it on Florence belting out dog days are over.-your Dealer.
