How ironic, that a person like my dear husband, Captain, got to be in New York city right smack in the middle of Fashion Week when his only care was how to get to Cafe Zipetto for that cup of good espresso. Yes, he was there and had it not been for the fact that it was the boys' first week at school when all the chaos normally happen, so would I. Seriously, I am not the kind of girl that must be at Fashion Week because the life of my blog or my existence depend on it but once in a life time as a blogger, why not. For me it is just to merely experience the hustle and bustle of the city during this important moment of fashion industry, of which after all, we all are involve in either directly or indirectly. It would be nice to just be there and do a bit of people watching.. who needs the runway when you have the street, right? Anyway, for all of us who didn't get to be there or who doesn't really care but just wondering what's in store for SS 2014, here's some sneak peak from the week.
The ever so lovely and never disappointing Marchesa
Stripe galore by Preen
Bold and glamorous from Rodarte
Delpozo embracing the structure and texture
Feminine - Oscar de la Renta
Full skirt and midriff baring at Tibi
DVF celebrating the prints
Ralph Lauren did it again, the Safari look
The Olsen twins' creation for Row
Marc Jacobs and his military inspired casual
Modern sophistication by Pamella Roland
.. and my favorite, BCBG Max Azria, a mix of retro and old school glamour yet
so wearable by mere mortal like us!
Hmm, there should be a fashion week for real women... You know, us mere mortals who don't have legs that go on forever, the vertically challenged, the not-anorexic... I would love to see some designers take on the challenge of making us look good, and would probably happily spend all my hard-earned cash on clothes that flatter real women's bodies...
ReplyDeleteWell said! But I think any of us could sport that dress from BCBG ;)
DeleteI agree with Tiina. It will be interesting to see how these looks translate into fashions for real women this season.
ReplyDeleteFashion Week For Real Women.. that'd be something!
DeleteWell, I just need to get TO New York at some point in my life .. lol .. but yes, would be great to attend fashion week. Hmm, one day!

It's a great city.. I have to return soon :)
DeleteI'd love to be there too, and I'll settle for people watching. Something about the atmosphere during NYFW, it's just so exciting, maybe someday!
ReplyDeleteCan I tag along? :)
DeleteLove it! these styles are gorgeous

I have no desire to go to NYFW, I think will it's a bit over hyped. But I would love to visit NYC one day.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well - miss seeing you!

I'm doing better, Alice :) Thank you!
DeleteSounds like my hubby, when he was in NYC, he texted me and said he was bored... How is that even possible!!!!!! Maybe I would not put Fashion Week on the top list but definitely could consider to visit NYC again, you can never see too much of that city! Good to see you back! We have also had a fare share of chaotic back to school week.... xxx
ReplyDeleteRight? He has another NY this month and asked me to come along but the idea of travelling for 13 hours just to be there for 24 is just not appealing.. maybe we'll go on a vacation end of this year. I haven't been in 4 years!
Deletewish i was there , amazing shows , all glam.. love it! muaa

ReplyDeleteI LOVE that Olsen dress. I would so wear it out in the summer - maybe I can TRY to make something similar?
Ohhh I love nearly all of them. Big want.
