Now that I've had time to peruse Vogue.com and process all the beauty that is New York Fashion Week, there are a few trends for fall 2011 that can't be denied. Here's who did it best - from the '40s to the '70s, the Southwest to the Argentinian plains.
It's the first time I've used PhotoSnack to create fancy-shmancy slideshows, so click through and let me know what you think! Tomato & Ultramarine - colors of the season
'70s Plaids - big, bold and retro
'40s Silhouettes - from feminine suits to Hollywood glam
Let's just call this the Gaucho/Matador/Cowboy look - horse blankets, reinvented boleros and Southwestern prints
Colorblocking - black & white or super bright
My Favorites - these are the looks I can't quantify, the one's that stop me in my tracks. It's just a gut feeling, really.
So, tell me what I missed. What were your favorite shows?
i really liked the dresses at nyfw. though some shows could have used a bit more variety because it seemed as though all they showed were dresses, i was very impressed with what i saw at vera wang, monique lhuillier, jenny packham et al. i already really liked the continued use of sheers in interesting ways and all the interestingly shaped outerwear!
hope that answers your question well.
and thanks for the lovely comment on my Full Time Fabulous blog darling! sorry for the belated response, i usually try to get back to the commenters blog much sooner than this but i fell a bit behind with that due to the insanity that was fashion week =P it was lovely meeting you btw and i hope you'll let me know next time your in NY!
I really enjoyed this post, since EVERYONE has been posting the same stuff and all i want is a round-up! Really enjoyed these, as i'm a massive colour lover and i do like a bit of 70's - good to see it continuing into the next season!
Wow...such a great round up post, darling. I had a few I loved but Im always smitten by Micheal Kors. Im such a huge fan!!! Wish you a relaxing Sunday Kisses
OMG...the opening pics blew me away...I LOVE polka dots, like in a serious, crazy way..those outfits are all so gorgeous...Ive seen those little pillbox hats in all the stores now...really cute!!
Thank you for your kind words on my weight post, I really appreciate it hunnie....:)

You missed... nothing. Great job with the slide shows, think Ill try it myself soon!! I was in love with Jason Wu and Marc by Marc Jacobs and Marchesa and and and.. feck I could go on...

Stop by and say Hello:)
Enter my EL Vintage Giveaway!!♥
I have to say that sparkle sucked me in once again. Jenny Packham had it in spades! And Tory Burch's palazzo pants still have me swooning!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! Seems like everyone is loving the '40s influence. I"ll have to go check out the Jenny Packham show. I missed it somehow.
ReplyDeleteBest way to show them that I've seen!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent post! And I really like the photosnack format-I may have to try it out myself!

this, I think, was my most favorite runway show of all the Fall 2011 collections. I just loved it.
ReplyDeleteLook at you, all fancy with the photosnack! It looks great and is a fab way to present all these shots without information overload for your readers.
ReplyDeleteCropped jackets over polka dots? Yes please! And those prints are just what I need as I'm such a lover of prints
ReplyDeletei really love the MJ jackets

You did such a great job. I loved it. I like how you breakdown the trends for us.
ReplyDeleteI love all the variety! I'm really into the southwestern prints right now, so those are some of my faves. But I also love the color blocking going on!
