New York Fashion Week, for me, are some of the most thrilling shows of the year. Fall is my favourite season in terms of fashion, so as you can imagine with the AW13/14 shows underway I'm absolutely thrilled! NYFW has loads of shows going on; so instead of doing separate posts by designer I'm going to do them by show days and feature a few of my personal favourites!
BCBG Max Azria
Initially, I was really disappointed when the first few looks rolled out. None of the silhouettes really appealed to me, but I really like the pops of blues. However, once the next set of looks came out I DIED. I was a massive fan of the oxblood trend we saw last fall, and I'm still not over it! So to see some more deep reds coming out made me the happiest! Also lots of knits were featured, so yay! I also really liked a lot of the embellishing and the leather in this show. Then finally, we saw monochrome. This one is going to be huge, I've been seeing it everywhere, and being an avid wearer of black, I'm very excited! It was also a lot of soft billowy fabrics mixed with harder fabrics like leather which is right up my alley!
Erin Fetherston
The Erin Fetherston show was once again a mix of hard and soft fabrics, but also very monochromatic. The garments were very structured and very wearable silhouettes. There a few pieces I'm very interested in from this collection! I really liked the use of rich colours; the deep blues, the plums, the greens.. definitely colours I'll be excited for come fall. My all-time favourite outfit was the 9th because that is practically an outfit straight out of my closet!
What are your thoughts so far on the shows?
