The Proenza Schouler fall 2010 show was fun. It had the bumping runway music and I loved the clothing. It was very preppy and collegiate in a way. The graffiti print denim, a collaboration with J Brand, gave the preppy a bit of an edge. The shoes however were beyond stupid and ugly. I wondering why everyone walked so funny during the show. It’s because of these Completely, totally, completely ugly! images: style.com
I didn’t care much for Marc’s ode to the 80s this season. I do appreciate that Marc has the funds to do a pure fashion collection and not care about sales. That’s what leather goods and accessories are for. I know many people enjoyed it. So you can check out the Marc Jacobs Fall-Winter 2009 – 2010 video.
Prada The Iconoclasts  Four fashion editors take over the visual identify of four Prada stores. Alex White – NYC Broadway Katie Grand – London Old Bond Street I really love the NYC styling.

Macqua is a Berlin based designer that I discovered this fashion week. They don’t have any shops in North America that stock the brand and that is probably why I haven’t hear of it until now. I really love the dress above. images: Macqua F/W 09.10 New York – the Fashion Spot
Rad Hourani delivered another beautiful collection for Fall 2009 – 2010. He added some navy blue to the mix and a touch of glitter. Check out Reborn and Holt’s for Canadian sources of Rad’s clothing. Rad Hourani F/W 09.10 NYC – the Fashion Spot
Thank the fashion gods for the Phi Ready to Wear – Fall 2009 – 2010. I first learned about PHI during New York fashion week. I attended the show which was housed in this huge warehouse which required the use of a huge freight elevator. It was cool. I got to see a lot of my fav models like Sasha, Du Juan, Freja. I was happy to see the label didn’t let me down during a season where there are slim pickings. images: Phi F/W 09.10 New York – the Fashion Spot
Temperley Fall 2009 – 2010 collection is another label redeeming New York for me. I’m glad there are a few gems throughout the metallic mess. The jackets are really great in this collection. I saw Temperley Spring 2008 when I was in New York. I remember her afterparty was pretty kickass. Memories of fashion week. images: Temperley London F/W 09.10 New York – the Fashion Spot.
The crazy shoe parade has started. image: Ohne Titel – Ohne Titel – Fall 2009 Collection
OMG, Rodarte is perfection. I am calling it now and Rodarte wins for best collection of NYC. Their clothing is a lesson in textiles; incorporating colour and texture. They get better year after year. The collection wasn’t all black either, that is a big bonus in my books this season. images: Rodarte F/W 09.10 New York – Page 5 – the Fashion Spot.
Yohji Yamamoto’s Y-3 Ready to Wear – Fall 2009 – 2010 collection was the perfect streetwear collection for me. No one does pants like Yohji. images: Y-3 F/W 09.10 New York – the Fashion Spot.
