It's like it just snuck up on us while I wasn't looking. Actually, you know, I was looking but the damn rain skewed my eyesight. In any case, those stupid rain drops haven't stopped the shows from going on, and neither have they stopped me, in fact, I wore satin shoes last night, and
in just the first day of New York Fashion Week I can successfully attest that pant skirts, better called skants, they are coming back. Boxy blazers continue to reign and
an overload of clashing patterns that mesh together oh so well will continue to warm out hearts, cold his loins well into 2012. Let's dig in.
Rachel Comey embraced her usual kook with sweet and funky flat shoes, also celebrating an interesting new take on the cable knit--seen far right--because, really,
who says the pattern is only suitable for cold weather, right? To the far left you can catch a glimpse of the first of several pant-under-dress or skirt situations I've seen thus far.
It started trickling around over resort but seems the trend is here full force. Also, though not pictured here, it should be noted there were some really rad beachy prints that looked like little ocean waves flowing down your blouse.
Here's to that. More prints worked as deflators at
Richard Chai Love. I was particularly into the skimpy
biker short-under-peplum-blouse look he showed that popped up several times through the course of the show. There were some darling little pops of orange too. And I love oranges. They make orange juice.
Hawaiian prints ruled and smurf blue lips so eloquently suggested continued celibacy,
and but another effort at successfully recycling my jokes? I sighed a great sigh of relief. More material, phew.
As you can see pictured dead center, well, well, well more of the skant! This time so creatively print blocked,
featuring some love for Beetlejuice and a kick back to Honolulu. Let me just one more time reiterate though,
that is a blue lip. Speaking of oranges...get a load o'this from
Sachin + Babi. Cute floral details but more importantly,
so much good layering potential here. This is the foundation of an ideal blog post. Finally though,
we look to the polished pages of Jenni Kayne's presentation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know these aren't "polished pages" but the alliteration just sounded so good. Work with me. Turn your grammar police badge away, would ya? Thanks. Anyway, let's salute
the continuation of monochroming in a fantastically layered spring look,
the sheer simplicity and genius that a sweater and palazzo pant that can act so perfectly as stand alone Man Repeller--cue the leg tents--and of course, to the far right,
a damn good arm party complimented by texture.
This also serves to correct a serious wrong: navy and black, so rad together.Just before I send you off, here's a tiny glimpse from last night's
God Save My Shoes film premiere at
The Paris Theater sponsored by
The Outnet, below photographed with The Outnet's very own superstar: a cute and pregnant
Stephanie Phair. See, told ya, satin shoes and as my hair will aptly suggest, it was in fact pouring. Irene had nothing on last night's storm.
Until tomorrow...but I'll see you tonight, right?
