I know what you are thinking … ‘two posts in one day! Where does this dame find the time?’ Well, I was just so into the latest runway fashions that I had to share one more. However, I am doing this post un poquito different, because in DKNY’s latest collection there are truly truly truly some pieces I love {the hats most especially!} … and then some I uber hate {the loud, unwearable, unchic, vomit-inducing patterns – yes, I hate them}.
New York Fashion Week – which, little tidbit, actually spans about 10 days and happens twice a year – is one of my most favorite bi-annual times of year to gather inspiration. As a graphic designer, I truly feel that fashion and art and photography are all interconnected and I normally see the hot new design or hot new color from the runway in some way, eventually get translated into my little graphic design world. Especially since attending a show live, I find myself pouring over the – now extremely well photographed/filmed and no longer closed/stuffy - shows for weeks and weeks after. One of my favorites of this season was Christian Siriano, probably because he is totally flirting with feathers and feathers are the new in thing in Carolland. I just wanna shake my tail feathers {yeah, I said it} in some of these sexy, textured pieces.

This week is the first time this season when I can say it is really sticky out … you know that step outside, loose your breath, automatic glistening, pull your hair into a pony-tail, ugh humidity. And when that time comes – I begin to yearn for light, airy, comfortable {yet chic} summer-time faire. Thus I share with you, Vivienne Tam.
Here is the latest from Mick Jagger’s main squeeze herself …
I don’t know about you, but I love when Fashion Week rolls around. I know it must be stemming from my two years in grad school a la NYU – which was situated across the street from Bryant Park aka the old site of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. I loved to walk outside after class and see the models, the celebrities, the fashion and the photographers. I loved the whole hullabaloo. And trust me, one day I will be welcomed into those glorious tents. But alas, until that day, I happily soak in the sights from afar and become inspired {graphical speaking} by my fellow artists {those who design in clothe rather than pixels}. Mr. Posen’s collection is slightly darker and more dramatic than I normally lean – but darlings, I just could not stop looking at these pics. Enjoy. Feast away. I know I did.
