Return of Ford!

The big news in fashion today is the return of Tom Ford to women's wear and Fashion Week! His collections for Gucci were iconic and he has been truly missed from women's fashion since he struck out on his own six years ago.



He threw a fashion show disguised as a cocktail party yesterday. His models were a who's who of Hollywood and the modeling world. Check out the coverage by Hillary Alexander.

Fashion Week: Day 2 and 3 - White on a Pedestal

I'm still reviewing the dailies from Fashion Week days two and three. There are two truly recurring themes during the first three days of Fashion Week; white will be big next spring and platforms are here to stay. Almost every show I've reviewed so far has a ton of white pieces. There are tops, pants, dresses, skirts, in every style and configuration you can imagine and white is present in many collections. Lots of designers are also showing platform shoes. This isn't about making the girls on the runway appear taller. The average fashion model is 5'9" to 5'11".

Below are three different takes on the white trend. Left to right are: Derek Lam, Cynthia Rowley and Jill Stuart. Bright white is the most prevalent shade on the runways so far but I really love Cynthia Rowley's whimsical take with the burn out polka dots as well as Jill Stuart's pleating and ruffles. The shades are also a nice departure from the bright white with the dove hue of Rowley's dress and the ivory of Stuart's.

It's Fashion Week!

I think I just heard the angels singing. It was so hard to get through work yesterday without looking at the shows online. This year marks a new chapter in NYC Fashion Week history. The shows have been moved from the tents a Bryant Park to Lincoln Center.

Trends are set based on what is shown at Fashion Week. A few of the things I love from the first day are:

The flowy pants at the Richard Chai LOVE show.


The sleek white pieces at Christian Siriano.


The full skirts at Ruffian.


I'll post more as the week goes on.
