Welcome to my blog. A blog about fashion, other blogs, beauty, photography, sustainable fashion and maybe about trying to work out or document what visually defines our generation. Up until this past decade we have been able to identify what era people are from simply by looking at them. I don’t know how easy that is any more. And it's not all pictures...! There are videos and articles also!

New York Fashion Week: trends: Minimalist...ish
So I kind of thought I was completely over the whole minimal thing. A lot of people did a poor job of it maybe? I dont know. Some of these pictures border on minimal, but they make it more interesting for me to look at, and to wear.
Here you go!
BCBG Max Azria
The culottes. Sleek, however there is movement that is enticing.
Charlotte Ronson
Calvin Klein
Costello Tagliapietra
Doo.Ri
G-Star Raw
This fabric and belt are beautiful.
Halston
J. Mendel
Michael Kors
True minimalism!
Ralph Lauren
The Row
Victoria Beckham
Such a simple collection, and so striking.
New York Fashion Week: trends: Jackets
So I guess jackets are always around, but I think this season it seems that they are statement pieces, and frankly, I love it!!
Living in Melbourne, we are going into Autumn, (even though summer some how eluded us-wettest summer on record..!) and really we should be the Coat kingdom of the world. It is cold enough to wear them, and warm enough that it doesn't need to be made for the snow, therefore more style and flare can be played with! I will do another version of this in a street style piece. Just on these jackets though, it kind of reinforces (for me) how easy it could be for Melbourne (or Australia) to be ahead of the game. They show the fall collections as we are going in to Autumn. I know we can't get all these pieces straight away (or at all) but variations of them aren't hard to find or make.
So here you go..!
3.1 Phillip Lim
The length
Anna Sui
Embroidery
Carolina Herrera
Classic and elegant.

The Length, silhouette, featured pockets and the different coloured princess line.

Again with the length, and the colour. I love this colour!! (and the pants)

The lapels, it looks like there are two? I love it.

The shoulders, and the silhouette

The colour, the trims, the length.

Any one who'd wear this style, would mesmerise. It wouldn't matter how tired, sick or terrible you were looking, you'd put on this jacket and you'd instantly look amaaaazing!
The colour, the embroidery, and the two jackets together!!
The texture and fabric...grrrr!
The collar and the colour. (and the length and the cuffs)
Theysken's theory
The length and the fact that it's a long cardigan.
Thom Browne
The 'tails' and the lining.
Y-3
The tartan, and length.
Yigal Azrouel
The long cardi with a different coloured hood. I love it!

The length and the neck.
Zero + Maria
The neck!! (and the buttons) and the colour...and the piped edges. This is beautiful.

New York Fashion Week: trends: Geometry
I wonder if its the fact that the pattern Magic books have gone 'gang busters' this past year, especially since releasing the English versions, that every second designer had prints or panels in squares, triangles and circles-some in 3D! Although Pattern Magic are pattern making books, maybe some designers are trying to get us ready for 3D formations on our clothes?!?! That could be fun.
Anyway here are some examples...
Cynthia Rowley
Derek Lam
Doo.Ri
Malandrino
Mara Hoffman
Marc Jacobs
Naeem Khan
Narciso Rodriguez
Nicole Miller
Preen
Proenza Schouler
Rag and Bone
Rodarte
VPL
