NYFW: Our Favorite Uses of Color on the Spring 2012 Runway

by

It was hard to narrow it down to just a few, as throughout the week there were a lot of amazing color combination, delivered largely through color-blocking and prints. Here are the ones that stuck out in my mind, days after the show had ended.

Mara Hoffman

The engineered prints, shoes, and hair at the presentation transported all viewers to an amazingly stylish, far off civilization. Hoffman once again dolled out a strong, print-heavy collection that keeps her in the top ranking of our must-sees every season.

Chris Benz

Somehow, Benz managed to make acid yellow sequins look downtown cool, paired with hi-top sneakers (footwear by Alejandro Ingelmo)  and “I just woke up” hair.  Not afraid to use color, Benz is more and more moving into the ranks as a solid American designer, and fashion week favorite.

Tracy Reese

It’s easy to see why Tracy Reese has been such a popular choice of go-to femininity, celebrating the brand’s 10 year anniversary, down to the very day, this fashion week. She showed a well done, beautiful collection of softer pastels and prints, complete with a turn of the century rustic, ladylike vibe, due to the hair style and parasol accents.


Milly by Michelle Smith
Inspired by Sonia Delaunay and focusing on a Milly girl who is “more interested in her books than boys this season”, Michelle Smith used graphic zig-zag, geometric, and color patterns that reminded us how poppy and strong primary colors can be.

Azria tells us that a story of mixed prints and color blocking will continue into spring 2012, adding in a mix of off the shoulder details and interesting slits and cut-aways.

Fashion Week Report: Day 1

by

Fashion Pulse spent a long first day at the tents, and took a day to digest everything we saw!
Our initial thoughts on the shows:

  • BCBG MAXAZRIA: There was a noticeable refined sophistication to the collection, taking on the appearance more so of the signature line than a lower-priced sister collection. The use of color was done well, particularly in greens, blues, and reds, and we loved the spiked heels that teetered down the runway.
  • TSE: Tse didn’t let us down with a luscious array of silky, filmy cashmere — just how cashmere should be for spring/summer! The garments resembled linen more so than cashmere, and the color palette was largely solid and neutral, with the occasional printed. piecey fabrics
  • Perry Ellis: We would be content dating a guy who dressed in this collection — it definitely had a ’60s feel to it, a certain Penguin by Munsingwear vibe, that just felt practical and well-needed to menswear design. The hilights for us were definitely the vest, which ranged from a full button-up to crew neck pullovers with a geometric design. A variety of short lengths marched down the runway, and the color palette was primarily safe, with loads of blues interspersed.
  • Duckie Brown: it was interesting to compare these two mens shows by seeing them back to back; we anticipate that Duckie Brown will always push the envelope, but we’re not sure how receptive the fashion crowd may be to items this season that make you say “huh” opposed to “I’d buy that in a hearbeat.” Gigantic sweaters and skinny pants were the theme du jour for Duckie, which looked fun on the runway, but we hope there’s a more tame, salable version coming out for S/S 09.
