Impeccable outerwear is a must, according to the latest fall 2011 by Nicholas K., but so is perfectly worked knits, slightly slouchy pants, and shoes (by Vintage Shoe Co.) that will let you confidently hit the pavement. Oh yeah, and you’ve got to throw in a little green or burnt orange too!
Jen Kao
Described by Kao’s run-of-show, the collection called for “rituals of reinvention,” and featured acid rainbow hues and technicolor prints.Right out the gate, we knew there was no way anything boring would come of Jen Kao’s fall 2011 collection, who showed fantastical prints upon body accentuating, futuristic cuts in a wide range of fabrications that possessed a dark, mysterious, severe quality to them.
Bibhu Mohapatra
As one of the most anticipated shows for New York Fashion Week fall 2011, Bibhu Mohapatra’s showing was certainly an execution of ladylike elegance, without a lot of these gowns capable of taking a dip on the red carpet.
