NEW YORK FASHION WEEK 2008

An hour plane ride and two glasses of wine later we arrive in New York City. We remind ourselves.. "DONT SPEND TOO MUCH MONEY" " DONT BUY EVERYTHING"....


We put on our fanciest dresses and we flag down a cab. We go from showroom to showroom hand picking the perfect outfits for fall at Rumors Boutique. We have sooo many new lines coming in. Most of our time is spent sipping wine and bragging about how wonderful our city is to our new designers and just about everyone we meet.... Also hanging out at the Levee and drinking the Sportman Special. a shot of whiskey and a beer for two please... it almost felt like home..... SO LETS TALK FASHIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN....


First off, when taking the train to williamsburg !!dress to impress!!!. One minute I am sitting next to a crazy person who is trying to give me 3 dollars to tell him the future.. and the next stop I feel like I'm in a music video for M.I.A. Its been cold for maybe 5 hours and everyone already has their signature hoodie, flat comfortable knee high boots, loose black scarf and button down vest on. Honestly people can hate as much as they want on Willamsburg brklyn but it is a street fashion photographers heaven. Also if your ipod touch doesn't match your glasses or your handbag you need to replace it.... NOW........













Okay sorry back to fashion..... here are the trends for the next season. I have combined new york fashion with European fashion week because new york honestly was a bit of an upset for me. I love my American designers but wheres the originality wheres the insanity. Just because the economy is depressing doesn't mean your wardrobe should be. It seemed that sheer shirts were the bigggg thing. I am 100 percent against them, they are horrible. I want to clothe the working woman not undress her. I don't know many women who can go to class or work wearing a sheer mesh top.... Honestly look at that. HOw long did that design take, And how does anyone over an A cup wear these outfits. Are we going to bed or are we going out on the town. WHO KNOWS........

Luckily I fell in love twice.... This is what fashion is to me. Somewhere lost between vintage and crazy we have Christian Kane and Luella Bartley . Look how well constructed each piece is. You can not simply place these garments on your body, you have to embody the whole attitude. Both these designers have a way of making each piece pop at you. Your outfit should tell a story. Mood changing fashion. This is why I love Fashion.
























So more importantly. Here is the best of the best.... amazing affordable fashion by amazing designers. This is what I am aspire to dress like for the upcoming season.

AND BIGGEST TREND.. other than the horrible sheer shirts. the one sleeved dress. I'm against it.. but I'm slowly accepting it... straight skirts.. hike it up as high as you can ladies... And it seems that androgyny is here to stay. Steal your girlfriend jeans. and ladies steal your boyfriends button up shirts. WE ARE GOING CRAZY........And my favorite trend.. New back cleavage.


It was almost like someone had a "who can design the most flattering cut for the back" contest... fashion architecture
