C: Keep it Coming

This season is a lot of hit and misses. The hits are the graduating color in fabric that make you eye roam up and down. The head bands and hats and the comfortability of it all. The misses are the skinny belts under the chest that will make any women with a bust look pregnant. The Fredrick of Hollywood heels that will have orthopedist thrilled with all the clients and the dull color schemes in a spring/summer collection.

here are the some of the designer hits and misses:

I loved Diesel's spring collection Black Gold label. From start to finish you understand why this design teem is at the top of it's game. Militarystyle jackets with shimmery silver epaulets, sweatshirt-material genie pants, draped tank dresses and a blousoned shirtdress with a beaded tuxedo-shirt front dominated.
As you felt a part of an upbeat Fagin's gang from Oliver turned punk rock band. I loved the shirts with cummerbunds slung low as belts and the denim sandals. These rebels strutted zippers, chains, leather, and stone wash with just the right requisite edge. Faded pinstripes and Civil War caps lent an air of debauched Bohemia. Little blue capelets, blazers, and sexy minis were highly wearable, as were the jeans-naturally-those great blue wonders that have fueled the Diesel brand.

Alexander Terekhov's was voted one of the “Ten Most Talented to Watch” by Style.com. Terexov, collection was based globally with his signature, a world map print, which translated into long spaghetti halter dresses to low-cut chiffon gowns. Combining the styles of the 70's and 80's in bright pastel colors the leather and suede made it seem more like spring in Russia than here and the ruffles were overpowering. The silk, metallic multicolor fringe which reminded us on a wall maps run-in with a paper shredder seemed to want to hula on the dashboard of life. I loved the leather briefcases, that made his models seem more like jet-setting world travelers, than New York Fashion Week eye candy.

Peruvian designer Sergio Davila's collection for men and women was a hit. I loved the pin strip suits for men, especially the way the pants fit. His knitwear for both men and women was simple yet artistically interesting with little pulls and slits in the back.
His color palate was earth tones with cobalt blue and it made the collection seem effortless. The longer shorts were more flattering and wearable. This is a collection for a sportier women and man.

Akiko Ogawa made her debut at Fashion Week and she is a combination of hits and misses. On the positive side if she had stuck to coats and jackets she would of been a success. Also her textiles of the graduating color scheme were stunning. Again she used leather and her skinny pants but didn’t exactly fit. The bra tops and high waisted shorts will only look good on few body types. The make-up and the music were so horrible that they detracted from the whole show.


Like life sometimes there are hits and sometimes there are misses and that is a F.A.C.T.
