Pretending to know about fashion is something of a hobby for me. I wish I were able to attend Fashion Week and report a thorough analysis for each collection, but alas, I cannot. So Tim Blanks' style.com videos will have to suffice. Here are some of my favorites from this New York Fashion Week.
Proenza Schouler: Oh Proenza Schouler. I know that I've supposed to have been liking you all along. I watched the documentary about how you won that grant from Vogue to help your business get established, and I know that you're all legit now and everyone loves you, but until this collection you meant nothing to me. I love this collection though. Santa Fe is one of my favorite places in America, so I loved the modernized southwest patterns and styles. Beautiful.
Rodarte: I am crazy about this collection. I just love everything about it. These beautiful gowns give almost a sense of pastoral royalty. They have a certain folk elegance to them that incorporates glamour into prairie or pioneer clothing. It's like Rodarte has created a combination of the mid-western U.S. and the English countryside, and I love it.
Thom Browne: Okay, I'll admit, though I really like this collection I'm mainly posting it because I love what he's done in this runway show. Any time you strip a nun down and find she's wearing designer underneath is cause for celebration. I love the combination of beautiful, functional coats and less-functional art pieces. Once in a while we really do need to see a collection of crazy, uncomfortable, high-collared coats and egg-shaped skirts, so here's a big thanks to Thom Browne for that.
Great article Cam
