Buckler fall 2011

February 17, 2011

New York Fashion Week Fall 2011: Kimberly Ovitz, RETNA, Buckler

by fashionpulse

Kimberly Ovitz was inspired by the architecture designed by Oscar Niemeyer in Brazil, which entails aspects of futurism and circularism, which can directly be interpreted through Ovitz’s latest collection. Circular cut-outs made in the back of the garments and in the front of the shoes (designed by Camilla Skovgaard) reverberated the theme of a futuristic world with the models decked out in primarily black, white and grey stretch performance fabrics standing tall, intimidating, and stoic around the circumference of a painted black circle laid on the floor of the Pace Gallery in Chelsea, with pops of fluorescent yellow in the slashes of paint placed on what could be seen of the models’ hair-and-net-covered faces, shoes, and tid-bits incorporated into the design.

RETNA Exhibition


On the evening of Thursday, February 10, 2011 Graffiti artist RETNA (Marquis Lewis) debuted in his first exhibition in America during nothing other than New York Fashion Week. The warehouse-style gallery was large and spacious enough, but the crowd was larger. Champagne-held hands flew and waived everywhere, threatening to spill it’s contents all over the metallic monochrome-themed canvases and 3-D installation that resembled various abstract combinations of the male and female gender signs painted on canvases and large wooden blocks set in the right-hand side of the middle of the space.

Buckler

Demanding the shut down of Grand St. between Greene & Mercer, Andrew Buckler required the attention of both the media and unknowing passer-bys. With a majority of grungy, deconstructed black and white pants, shirts, jackets, and combat boots, Buckler interposed pops of bright yellow via large headphones, a jacket, or tight-fitting pants.  Grandly-sized backpacks with flaps wider than they were long added a flair of the quintessential “New York City wanderer” look, a posh vagabond that aimlessly roams the streets in New York City grunge-style. Well-fitted and draped shirts, a hooded pair of overalls, round-collared sweaters, encircling scarves, and tight-fitted jeans paired with a multi-strapped combat boots ran the gamut.

New York Fashion Week Fall 2011: Duckie Brown, Global Glam, Irina Shabayeva, and Buckler

Duckie Brown

When the first model turned the corner at Duckie Brown, it was clear that designers Steven Cox and Daniel Silver were up to something. Present were the usual immaculate manoeuvrings of fabrics like tweed and wool; and the “bespoke” elements that turn a sweater into a chic straightjacket and a pair of pants into much-improved harem trousers. I say bespoke here because Duckie Brown has a specific client, and they want that specificity from Duckie Brown. What was new was the unmistakable minimalism: muted tones, almost no accessories. But as we said before, we like less, a lot.

W Hotels Global Glam

For a hotel group synonymous with inimitable style, and locations on just about every continent, it was only a matter of time before W Hotels translated that combination into a global fashion melting pot. For the second time, W presented its Global Glam collection, a gathering of some of the hottest international designers, curated by fashion authority and W Hotels Worldwide Global Fashion Director, Amanda Ross. This year’s presentation featured Mara Hoffman, Eugenia Kim, Paolo Hernandez, Andrea Possé, Shaesby, Twinkle by Wenlan, Catherine Nicole, Fernanda Sibilia, Myne, Contego, iLuck, and Deepa Gurnani. The folks at W had the idea that instead of just having a lounge backstage, they could get closer to the public, with a display of tastes from around the world. Now that’s the kind of thinking we can get behind.

Irina Shabayeva

Since winning Season 6 of Project Runway, Irina Shabayeva has continued to show the world that she is still that force to be reckoned with. Fall 2011 was all about lux contrasts, and embodied a statement Irina herself made: “For me, designing is an expression of who I am as a woman.” On-point minidresses were paired with chunky knits (very reminiscent of her winning look from the Michael Kors “Aspen Challenge”), ballooning gowns were amped up with crystal beading, and laser cut chrysanthemum petal appliqué and cut outs conjured thoughts of her PR alum Christian Siriano. It seems the Irina Shabayeva woman is a lot like the designer herself: focused, self-assured and, of course, chic.

Buckler

No offense Lincoln Center, we love the tents and all, but when Andrew Buckler blocked off his stretch of Grand St to create his Fall 2011 runway, we knew that’s where the action was. The gesture was just another step in Buckler’s homage to urban street art and the artists who create it. The collection was about the refined ruggedness of the craft, of the anonymity that comes with being a street artist, and a revamping of utilitarian staples – overalls, parkas, cargo pants. These are pieces that express individuality, simplicity, and a willingness to evolve, much like their inspiration.
