New York Fashion Week S/S 2012. Day 3.

Christian Siriano's collection was a kaleidoscope of colours, basic tees, beautiful bias skirts and exquisite gowns. What a great idea to put a floor length evening skirt with a breton shirt, and in those colours. Just such simple silhouettes but so much glamour. It was a collection for the cool city girl, that coral pant suit belongs in my closet and that white blazer with the pleated green skirt and red belt could accompany it as well. His cocktail dresses didn't disappoint either, shredded tulle to give a feather effect, the streamline of some of them could throw a blazer or jacket over it and make it very daytime. His palazzo pants were done so well with the slight detail at the waist. But it was gowns that stopped traffic, all that magic in those colours, and layered organza everywhere

                                                           

Nicole and Michael Colovos showed their collection for Helmut Lang on a runway for the first time in five years. They showed a collection with a cool, city vibe. Lots of black and leather. There was a blazer to go with every draped T-shirt. Jackets were cropped and longer in the front than the back. The pant were effortless, loved the ease of the skinny cut, bunching at the ankle. The tees, were asymmetric and draped, but I really liked when they layered them. The only colour in the collection, yellow, was done in the dress that draped so beautifully in the front. Also the yellow combined with the over sized brush strokes made for a great print. It was a very wearable collection.

Prabal Gurung's collection had prints of a withering flowers in purple, green and black. There was a gorgeous dress with a black leather and silk cord harness. He hand painted and tinted latex for a coat, and lined a laser cut leather T-shirt in mesh. There was tons of peekaboo, sheer panels on hips and waists  of dresses. And some more see through than others, like that nude sheer dress with the beautiful black details. The gowns at the end young hollywood are going to fall in love with, especially that long sleeve purple number, sexy and eloquent. -your Dealer.
