WOMEN'S FASHION WEEK - FEB. '10

Zac Posen, Carolina Herrera, Peter Som...It's FASHION WEEK!
Who DOESN'T love the fashion walking down the runways right now?!

The simplistic, yet gorgeous, jackets and pants of Zac Posen remind me of wrapping up in a blanket and sipping hot cocoa with tiny marshmellows. But it's more luxe than that. It's AMAZING. Check it out:
Though the collection's color palette is not flattering to all skin tones, it does follow the neutral nude tone of the majority of designers for Fall 2010. With weird fabric patch placements on some pieces, I wouldn't call all beautiful fashion, but certain outfits are perfect:

What do you think of all of the fur booties to match the fur jackets? Too much or just right?

Everything Carolina Herrera showed was glamorous and tailored, and though not all flattering, with wide leg, pleated pants and oversized clothing, it shows the strength of a woman. Carolina Herrera RTW Fall 2010 - WWD.com
This is something I would wear: http://www.wwd.com/fashion-week/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/review/carolina-herrera-rtw-fall-2010-2477076?city=new-york/recent#/slideshow/microsite/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/2477076/2477176/new-york
How about you?


I'm not used to Monique Lhuillier RTW Fall 2010 - WWD.com being anything other than wedding dresses, but these slim dresses show the uniqueness and detail that she's known for. I especially love this green mini:

Donna Karan didn't disapoint: Donna Karan RTW Fall 2010 - WWD.com with extremely flattering black pants, glamorous gloves and lace details, structure, and a bit of a futuristic theme. This is one of my favorite outfits: http://www.wwd.com/fashion-week/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/review/donna-karan-rtw-fall-2010-2478384?city=new-york/recent#/slideshow/microsite/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/2478384/2478468/new-york
The entire collection looked rich, with pieces you could own forever (though not "classic"). If someone can do this with basically one color (black), that is true talent. I would like half of the collection please!


Betsey Johnson's quirky and fun spirit came through! Betsey Johnson RTW Fall 2010 - WWD.com
The green and khaki neutrals didn't seem to work as well as the brights:

Something I definitely have to point out is the variety of body types in her show. The model casting was obviously not just for the skinny mini's, but for models with some curves as well. It was so nice seeing something that all designers should do.


After a horrible intern experience with her years ago, I didn't ever think I'd be writing something positive about Jill Stuart Jill Stuart RTW Fall 2010 - WWD.com, but I will say I love this one outfit:

She has several designers working for her anyway, so I would love to give them the compliment.


I am IN LOVE with the glasses (Yes, I want them!), and the realization that I could see Victoria Beckham in each and every one of these pieces.

Did I love every single piece? Yes, every SINGLE piece. http://www.wwd.com/fashion-week/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/review/victoria-beckham-rtw-fall-2010-2471953?city=new-york#/slideshow/microsite/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/2471953/2472001/new-york
I am a bit saddened at the super skinny model choices, but the designs were beautiful.


Diane von Furstenberg's neutral palette was perfect for the solids and prints of flowy and structured items for the young, modern urbanite.

Strong shoulders and fresh-faced, youthful models made Alice + Olivia's fashion collection perfect.

Glamour, with fur stoles, and old-time menswear sex appeal, Alice In Wonderland hats, beige and black neutrals, Alice + Olivia should be set with the celebrities wearing the latest styles!


Peter Som did it right. Peter Som RTW Fall 2010 - WWD.com
With beautiful fall color combinations, like plum, bright green and eggplant, made it stand out amongst the pack of neutrals. The dark goth lipstick and stick straight hair added to the beautiful styling:
