Fall 2012 Fashion

Fall 2012 Fashion Week: T By Alexander Wang, Fendi

T by Alexander Wang continues to wow us by doing what Wang does best: gauzy, over sized and uncomplicated knitwear, effortless maxis, and basics that are none other but manageable. Simple never looked so good. For Fall 2012, T by Alexander Wang introduced full-length leather pants (at $995, they’re a bit pricier than the rest of the line) alongside more feminine pleated skirts and cropped knit tops. The neoprene dresses are anything but submissive, yet parallel the rest of the mainly black, grey, teal and ruby collection rather nicely.

Fendi

Fendi’s Fall 2012 collection of contrasts is nearly indescribable. Who knew nature and artificiality could compliment each other so well? The usage of furs and skins against streamlined skirts demanded attention, and we were equally as intrigued by the crown of warrior-like braids. Coats prevailed as the must-have item in the collection, however handbags came in at a close second place.

The collection was both dark and fresh, introducing subtle color blocking with burgundy and emerald. Those snake-like leggings were reminiscent of Avatar, and when paired with lace-up and furry boots, they were super sexy. With so much going on, it’s clear that Fendi is looking forward to the future of fashion.

Fall 2012 New York Fashion Week: Sally LaPointe, Katie Gallagher

Sally Lapointe F/W 2012

Accompanied by the haunting strokes of a violin a la Requiem for a Dream and a pumpinh smoke machine, a sharp and coherent collection parades between the throng of guests. Inspired by Kafka’s Metamorphosis, Lapointe‘s designs echo the protagonist’s experience of isolation and neglect after finding himself transformed into a giant insect-like creature ensued by his ultimate death. Clean off-white leather, silk and luxe layers of capes, crepe trousers and angular cut t-shirts are followed by taupe satin and navy wool cashmere. The coats are structured, some adorned with an homage to the creature’s limbs, and are paired with floor-length skirts, dresses or bodysuits. The snake-skin like mustard yellow and blue “Metamorphosis” print is the only non-solid color of the collection, serving as the transition toward ankle-grazing gold patent pants, fitted dress and flowing skirt. Maroon layers and brown lamb skin foretell the imminent finale of black; worth highlighting are the exoskeleton-like sleeves adorning both a loose and fitted dress that culminate in a sheer cape dress of the same material, paired with elbow-length skin gloves.

Katie Gallagher F/W 2012

The Katie Gallagher collection alludes to the wild, unruly nature of the earth and our inability to possess the space it occupies, an inspiration echoed most obviously in the models’ teased updos, green eye shadow and tribal black dots adorning either side of their noses. Again, layers reign in the lineup, placed in contrast with asymmetrical cuts and structured high-necked tops. The designs are predominantly black, a warm white, and an earthy green interspersed with brown pieces. A solid and coherent presentation with a clear and concise inspiration, Silent Soil F/W 2012 speaks to the helpless human condition in the face of mother nature.

Fall 2012 New York Fashion Week: Park Choon Moo, Son Jung Wan

One of the most important aesthetics of Korean beauty is “Yeo Baek”, or “The Void.” With this in mind, explore a collection that combines emptiness and material, spiritual, and self. This may seem rather profound for a clothing line, but ParkChoonMoo produced something rather new in zen art for Fall 2012. The freedom of the clothing could be felt in alpaca fur shawls, organic cotton hooded dress, and silk skirts. Shifting color from white to black, the apparel took on a more paneled, dimensional appeal with over sized and wide leg pants with capes and coats.

Son Jung Wan

Against the backdrop of the snowy Saturday day, Son Jung Wan’s “oriental winter garden” couldn’t have been more perfect. Various fade-away grays and creams matched strong turquoise, python, white leather, and metallic. The cable knit panels and open crocheted knits felt equally as youthful as the leather shorts and silk skirts. Still, it was the detail that left an impression; gardens always create that limitless romantic and exaggerated effect, and Son Jung Wan’s interpretation bloomed effortlessly.
