2.16 // NYFW Roundup Pt II [Misc.]

A few bits and pieces from NYFW, starting with the astounding fact that Y-3 has incorporated children’s clothing into their Fall ’09 line.

Little models

Y-3 // Fall 2009

Carolina Herrera’s line was filled with sheen-y (is that a word? sheen-y? sheened? whatever.) satins in deep, rich hues that – for me – took me to a magical forest. Now, I know it sounds like I’m on magic mushrooms, but just take a look at these forest-green gowns, silver and blue frocks, and dark brown dresses… you’ll see what I mean. (I hope.)

Greens and browns, both slightly metallic = forest feel. I don’t know. This reminds me of the foresty theme, but also of a 1700s/1800s huntress or something. (But I wasn’t these personally, so one can only assume that one wore metallic green riding breeches…)

Slightly iridescent, shimmery deep green dress with an almost leafy pattern… love it.

Model: Ali Stephens

Same thing, but longer and more princess-y with the wraparound cape thing, attached at the wrists. Mmm. I love this colour.

Ah. This one reminds me of moss on pale rocks at the base of a waterfall. Or just moss.

A fish in the waterfall, perhaps?

A hawk? Haha idk. I like the ruffles at the bottom of this – it sort of balances it out, with the huge ruffles at top and the more understated layers at the bottom.

Model: Jourdan Dunn

A shiny rock? Ok so I don’t really have a forest analogy for this one. But I love the shiny, drapey top with a basic grey pant. And Jourdan rocks it, so it’s a win-win. (I like the hair in these too, sort of braided-up-princessy.)

Lovely tweed coat here.

Love the texture! Love it! Love it!

Model: Karlie Kloss

Love the black gown with a bit of grey peeping out at the top, and the semi-sheer skirt.

Ok, since I’m only about 15 photos into this, here’s the link at Style.com so you can see for yourself. There’s not way I can put all 35 on here. Check it out!

Alrighty, moving on. Here’s a bit about Jonathan Saunders… mmm. His collection was very… different… than the rest of the designers, for the most part. While others stuck mainly to subdued, darker hues, he went ahead and used reds, lime greens, and some blues – of course, there was black and grey and silver, too. It *is* a fall collection.  😛

Metallic green bandage dress with a leather(?) shrug thing… While I’m not sure if I’d wear this (the dress alone, YES… with the head wrap and jacket, it’s questionable…)

Blue! Puff sleeves! Really really really puffy puff sleeves! Red heels! Needless to say, love it.

Love the jewelled & bow-ed collar.

Oh look, a sculptured red skirt! With a metallic green top! For fall! Yippee!

More blue with geometric black… things… I like this one, actually.

All, Jonathan Saunders // Fall 2009. Photos via Style.com.

More red + black, love the cutout (or cutout-look-alike) and the gloves.

Collection

Mmm, and just a quick peek at DVF, whose collection entitled “Nomad” was a pleasant change of pace from all the somber shows reflecting the economy.

Love the hat and the rich look of the wrappish dress… sort of a metallicy dark, dark bronze? Goldish? Brown? Difficult to make out. Eh, whatever it is, it’s gorgeous. Pour moi, s’il-vous plait?

Red bag! Black tunic! Crazy hat! Love this. I especially like the line it creates.

Leopard print and… OK, I officially really really really want one of these hats. Or maybe I’ll attempt a recreation… hah. That’d be an accomplishment.

All, DVF // Fall 2009

Major print/colour mix on this one – sort of crazily funky, and with that yarn-ball-looking-ish hat… wow. And heyyy, I just noticed the bag. !

Collection

Just the one Alexander Wang // Fall 2009 look… hugely oversized, quasi-sheer cardi = love.

Et enfin, some menswear…
