Global Glam fall 2011

The Ladies Who Rocked Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week: Cynthia Rowley, Rebecca Taylor, Rebecca Minkoff, Mara Hoffman

by Julia DiNardo

These ladies will definitely be responsible for making getting dressed in fall 2011 a no-brainer. Here’s our thoughts on the fall 2011 collections by Cynthia Rowley, Rebecca Taylor, Rebecca Minkoff, and Mara Hoffman.

Cynthia Rowley

Rowley ushers in a much dropped hem length, along with a much-needed update on velvet, giving it a sheer and embellishment quality that has moved the fabric into an ultra hip category.

Rebecca Taylor

The designer proved that you don’t have to forgo the feminine when it comes to frigid temperatures outside. Taylor showed her fair share of shearling, with jewel tone satin blouses, silk chiffon dresses, cashmere pants and sweater skirts in lively hues and prints layered underneath.

Rebecca Minkoff

A lot of people don’t know that before she was the creator of the “morning after” bag that catapulted her career, Rebecca Minkoff was a womenswear designer, and very good one at that. Now a few seasons in with her return to clothing, Minkoff shows us how she’s evolved, along with the story of her customer – a very pretty, very cool, urbanite who loves a body skimming cut — on everything.

Mara Hoffman

I have no idea how, season after season, Hoffman manages to come up with new, innovative prints in great silhouettes, but either way, I’ve got to have them – all!

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.
