In Lust with Erin Featherstone, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Erin Featherstone, Fall 2007 Collection, source

We are absolutely in love with designer Erin Featherstone's fall line. Close personal friend of Kirsten Dunst, Featherstone's look has a Parisian flavor and a certain whimsy that you won't find on any other runway.

This season, Featherstone opted for flapper-era inspired sparkly caps, textured shimmery tights and equally shimmery frocks. Pewter and black were the main color schemes, making these looks perfect for next fall's holiday season.

Fashion Week's Most Bizarre, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

(From Left: Maticevski, Matthew Williamson, Duckie Brown, Abaete source)

Hats! Fur! Black patent leather! Ah, Fashion Week is only halfway through, but Fall '07 trends are already becoming apparent. Baby Phat kicked off the "From Russia With Love" theme, which seems to be resonating throughout many other designers styles.

However, what I love the most about Fashion Week is the real creativity that goes into each show. Sometimes, this creativity goes a little overboard and verges more into the realm of the bizarre. In the grand scheme of the show, usually the looks aren't that strange, but on their own, they mystify and boggle the mind.

Most people won't actually wear these looks...they are just for fun, but I always love seeing what designers come up with. Designers like Viktor and Rolf and John Galliano almost always deliver on the shock factor, but many newbies are also filling that gap. There are still a few more days for strange looks to grace the runway...we'll keep you posted!

New York Fashion Week Coverage Fall 2007: Baby Phat

FASHION WEEK: FALL 2007- BABY PHAT FASHION SHOW There is one question I ask myself every fashion week…. why does Baby Phat put on a show during fashion week? I understand the “bling” concept, but none of the people who are invited and attend the show would ever be caught dead in the clothing. The brand’s primary customers are those who shop at Macys (like me) and those who don’t mind having Baby Phat written 200 times across their body (unlike me). Now, I have a great deal of respect for Kimora Lee Simmons as a business woman, cause anyone who can make millions off denim jumpsuits with gold cats on the butt pockets really is a marketing genius, but you don’t really need to have a fashion week show to do this. Only a few pieces from BP’s fashion week shows actually appear in stores. So, why have a fashion week show??

New York Fashion Week Coverage Fall 2007: BCBG Max Azaria

BCBG MAX AZRIA F/W 2007 COLLECTION The BCBG was romantic, feminine, and flirty. It was filled with short, loose dresses in soft neutral shades, with gray, plum, and green accents. Knit hats were seen throughout, and the hair and makeup was kept settle & natural. There were so many looks, I could see myself wearing, and I was just thankful the dresses, although loose, had shape to them. [Source]
