Cool, edgy, rocker- girl with that ubiquitous 80’s feel. Yep–like her.
Ruffled minis, leggings, slim leather jackets, military coats and metallics. And looks like those platforms are back again for Fall. Hers –were round toe ankle booties. Rock on Gwen!
Project Runway’s Shining Star, Christian Siriano, may have been their youngest winner, but he wowed fans like Mena Suvari and Kristen Johnston, once again with a fall collection that was all grown up!
Inspired by Paris in the 60’s, Siriano says he wanted to create evening wear luxury that you could also wear during the day, and he did. Glamourous, lady-like skirts and jackets had a sharp edge, dresses with slim silhouettes and asymmetrical draping.
The stunning finale—a Fuschia gown draped in ruffles. WOW!
Let’s not forget the fab platform shoes and ankle booties with silver hardware detail. You might actually be able to WEAR them–they’ll be in Payless stores come Fall!
Duckie Brown’s british boy, influence showed up a la plaids, plaids and more plaids, tweeds on everything from shirts to suits, and bold brights and neon colored jackets. Sca-boy turned more edgy punk at the end with black and slim numbers. A message to you Rudy– Go Duckie!
Diggy Simmons and Mark Indelicato were there to check it out and show support.
Ports 1961 wearable collection is full of architectural influence, mixing old world with futuristic details.

Slim silouettes, leggings, and let’s not forget the leather “swim” caps–a nod to the 80’s!
Maybe something we’ll see The City’s Whitney Port and Roxy Olin don–as they were on hand to watch.
Well, the show must go on as they say and all 80 plus will be
under the fashion tents and for the last time, since next season they’ll be held at Lincoln Center.

Pop-Star, Michelle Williams was there to pay homage and a house full of A-list editors from Anna Wintour to Hal Rubenstein.
Most were stunned, just hearing the news about Alexander McQueen, franticly twittering and cell phoning away before the show started.
It’s the first day of Mercedes Benz NY Fashion Week and we were just blown away by the news that British Fashion Designer Alexander McQueen has apparently killed himself.
