Pamella Roland Spring 2011
The Pamella Roland presentation was a lovely cocktail party at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The mannequins were set up around the perimeter of the space decked out in Pamella’s elegant evening wear or dressed up day wear. My faves were definitely the trench coat that reaches the floor, and the organically stripped one shoulder dress belted at the waist.
G-Star RAW Spring 2011
The star-studded G-Star RAW show was held in Chelsea Piers this season on Pier 94. The denim line was inspired by the desert with fully functional pieces and fabrics reminiscent of parachute material. The color scheme showed a range of blue, sand, black, and white. I particularly liked the open back cut of pieces in the women’s line and the over-sized hoods. Menswear had great jackets with mandarin/motorcycle collars and new lengths on pants. I noticed the ‘fanny pack’ being brought back in a whole new way – over-sized and actually worn over the ‘fanny’! All in all, a great show to watch and some interesting newness to add to dress casually for spring .
