What an absolutely great idea this was! It was the first time I ever attended such a blogger friendly show/presentation, and was quite impressed with the results. Despite the tight show schedule and rainy weather, the Vivienne Tam boutique in Soho was crowded; I had to squeeze my way to the front to get some pics of the models. All in all, it was a lovely presentation, complete with intricate detailing and brighter colors that will definitely inspire some interesting color matching in the future. This format really did the clothes justice, letting the writers/editors/bloggers etc examine the detailing and craftmanship of each piece up close. Brava Vivienne Tam!

Fashion Week Day 5 Recap

What if working in fashion was always as frenetic as fashion week? I would have to say “no thanks” in that case!
Here they are — the day 5 show reviews — it was a busy one!
Marc by Marc Jacobs:
Not surpsigingly it was an 80s-inspired collection, complete with oversized hipster eyeglasses, Buster Brown hats, colorful scarves, and great bags.
ChoCheng:
Colorful riding coats and pastel satin gowns strongly pervaded Cho Cheng’s debut at fashion week.
MaxAzria:
Darker than the BCBG collection, the signature line featured sculptural jackets, deconstructed tunics, leather and metallics that stated it’s time to think about the future of fashion.
Domenico Vacca:
Very Italian suits, sexy cuts, and visible applique lent its way to making a strong showing in the tents; fashion Italian style still rules!
Rodarte:
True to form, the Rodarte sisters expiremented with a mixture of inspirations, resulting in a distinctive, hand-crafted, yet couture aesthetic.
G Star:
Leathers, buckles, and creamy shades of grey invaded the G Star runway at Hammerstein ballroom; we only wish those drop-crotch pants weren’t so drop crotch — I have a feeling they would make me look even shorter than I already am!
Tibi:
Prints to covet, in silhouettes to love seemed to be Amy Smilovic’s moto for the fall 2009 collection. 
Narciso Rodriquez:
A bit sombre, however signature Narciso sleekness prevailed; no wonder the First Lady prefers his collection! Loved the peachy pink dresses; definitely the highlight of the collection (let’s try not to think about the weird head gear, shall we?)

So many shows…so little time to sleep!
Jill Stuart
Jill Stuart:
Overly girly with an edge, the stand-out of the collection were the filmy, voluminous gorilla sleeves. I love that somehow Jill Stuart has the magic power to make an abundance of ruffles look rocker and edgy.
Tony Cohen:
The former Pittsburgh Pirate showed largely in a dark color scheme with his signature of piecey draping and folding strongly at work.
Terexov
Terexov:
Fell absolutely in love with the silk chiffon gowns adorned with gold sequins; it gave the appearance of teeny tiny mirrors all over the dress!
Generra:
This brand has really got it going on; they know exactly what the girls want, and will wear–casual layering, chunky knits, and tunic-length tops.
William Rast:
William Rast took us on a back-packing road trip through the heart of casual American fashion with destroyed jeans, leather biker jackets, hardware, and patchwork denim that will surely be a commercial success.
