Proenza Schouler Ready to Wear – Fall 2008 – 2009 This was my favourite collection during NYC fashion week. It was pretty uninspiring otherwise. The colours were so vibrant and I loved the bright tights and shoes. images: thefashionspot.com and style.com
Christopher Kane Ready to Wear – Fall 2008 – 2009 Christopher Kane lost me with his tiered ruffled collection in spring 2008. I’m absolutely amazed that his man can make me like sequins of all things, very large sequins. images: thefashionspot.com and style.com
Now or Never has been very good to me this season (It’s over for this season people). I managed to get this Rick Owens Funnel Neck Jacket for 75% off. It was the last one on the rack and it fit perfectly. I was in love. Initially, I walked away from the jacket and left the store, but I kept talking about it which was driving MJ nuts. I couldn’t get it out of my mind. A la Trent Reznor, it kept calling me, kept on calling me! So, I went back and the rest is history. Afterwards, MJ informed me that this jacket sold out completely, everywhere. This jacket fits amazing. The arms are a very slim cut but they are lined in silk so that it’s easy to put it on. The underside of the arms is made from a knit material which also adds to the sleekness of the arm. The double collar is drool worthy and I love how high it stands up. It’s like urban armour and I can block …

Marc by Marc Jacobs Ready to Wear – Fall Winter 2008 – 2009 I didn’t care much for the collection but the shoes were pretty cool
Jonathan Saunders Ready to Wear – Fall Winter 2008 – 2009 Jonathan Saunders ready to wear show was very anticipated this season because he was showing in NYC instead of London. The show was received poorly on The Fashion Spot. It was no Fall 2007 collection but I liked a few of the pieces.
Halston Ready to Wear – Fall Winter 2008 – 2009 One of the most anticipated shows of the season is Halston and man was it awful. This periwinkle thing is the most hideous garment I’ve seen in a long time. Seriously! These two are the worst of the bunch, but it doesn’t get much better. You are suppose to reinvent Halston not make some existing patterns. images: thefashionspot.com
Jeremy Laing Ready to Wear – Fall Winter 2008 – 2009 Inspired by the kaleidoscopic cover of The Possibility of an Island, the latest novel by Michel Houellebecq. The interior of a ’50s couture bodice, with its excess seam allowance becoming a decorative element. Josef Albers’s “Homage to a Square†color-field experiments. Quadrant-based construction, with a nod to Vionnet. love. images: thefashionspot.com
Roland Mouret – Ready to Wear Fall 2008 – 2009 I wasn’t all that in love with the spring 2008 collection for RM by Roland Mouret, but he has turned me around for fall 2008. Style.com says it’s a pre-fall collection and the fashion spot says it’s Fall 2008, i’m going with the fashion spot. images: thefashionspot.com
