In the world of fashion there are two weeks of every year where fashion shows, designers and outfits come to life to put on shows of couture. This past week was New York’s Fashion Week for Fall 2011 and designers such as ADAM, Betsy Johnson, BCBGMAXARIA, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, L.A.M.B., Tory Burch and so many more, came together after weeks of stress and perfection making to ensure their best and most impressive lines to date.
After seeing the collections and evaluating the trends it came to my attention the main themes for fall are going to be ¾ lengths, minimalism, and modern tribal.
According to different fashion blogs and New York Fashion Week blogs, simplicity was at its finest this week. For the fall we can expect to see more tailored pant suits, feminine gowns and loose fitted shrugs. For Calvin Klein’s Fall ’11 it is never a surprise to see the label’s signature minimalism, but this season he brought back the old trend of chunkier platforms and heels.
One of my favorite designers from this week was Gwen Stefani’s Label L.A.M.B. Her show took place at the famous Lincoln Center Theater and was filled with bright colors and her signature plaids. I love the bright orange and red colors which provide such a youthful look and fun twist with dark colors. (right) Gwen grabbed everyones attention when she took her moment of glory walking down the runway with son Kingston at her side who was filled with smiles and energy.
Another one of my favorites was Betsy Johnson’s wild runway show which was FILLED with bright colored animal prints, plaids and patterns. These seasons look resembled 80’s chic with off the shoulder dresses and florescent pops of color. (seen on the left)
