FASHION WEEK: Marc Jacobs + Anna Sui



I wasn't as blown away by the Marc Jacobs collection as some people were. They loved the sheer designs of eclectic pieces. I thought it looked creepy.

Oscar de la Renta, on the other hand, played with necklines and collar designs, not to mention African, abstract and floral patterns in a way that really shows his evolution into less gala-oriented outfits. However, his best piece (left) was in fact a white and black gown with a vertically ostentatious feather-ribbon bow.

Anna Sui is knee deep--or thigh deep--in sheer, striped dresses and masculine suits, leather fedoras, bell sleeves, the flapper look, silk, and house of mirrors-type stripes.

Narciso Rodriguez's new line reflected an interest in building texture and form, rather than a focus on patterns and colors like many other collections at fashion week. Fashionistas are citing a "Japanese-ninja" influence.






Jill Stuart debuted a very lace/tule/silk-centric clothing line that seemed like they were lavish gowns cut off above the knee. There was also a healthy mix of dainty colors in chiffon and organza paired with the devilish dark silks and sheers.




Today the fashionistas hit up Monique Lhuillier, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Betsey Johnson, Calvin Klein, Zac Posen, and my last year's favorite Naeem Khan.
