Mercedes-Benz FRTW 2007

From The Bryant Park Tents, New York Fashion Week for the ready-to-wear collection Fall-2007 sponsored by Mercedez-Benz. So far in the first two days, 14 shows have been presented from the following designers:

A. Herchwitch
Alexander Wang
Alice Roi
Bruce
Karen Walker
Lacoste
Ruffian
Threeasfour
Toni Maticevski
BCBG Max Azria
Douglas Hannant
Nicole Miller
Rag & Bone
Yigal Azrouel


The collections have many things in common in terms of tendencies. Gray and black are huge, neutral colors still in and there's some hints of color but not too much. The king for FW07 will be blue, followed by yellow and earth tones as seen in Nicole Miller's collection. Dresses and more dresses that would be and excellent piece to invest some money into because it is big for spring and it will be carried into fall. Black opaque tights appeared on virtually every show paired with platforms. So far I haven't seen anything outstanding although I think that Douglas Hannant's is very interesting, so far, the best proposal.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Just two days into the New York Fashion Show and some designers are making big waves already. Some have presented interesting collections and some... well, allow me to show you..

The Good

As I said Douglas Hannant's collection is, so far, the best in my opinion.








The Bad


Yigal Azrouel
These are so BLAH... it shouldn't be on a runway.




A. Herchwitch
Now somebody please explain to me how come these are "ready-to wear"? How do you wear these AT ALL???


The Ugly


Toni Maticevski
I am completely speechless, but if you wanna look like a banana or a popped bubble gum well, these are then ready-to-wear!
