Marc Jacobs Fall 2010 collection

Marc Jacobs Fall 2010 Collection
February 15, 2010 @ 8pm
Lexington Armory, NYC

I am only attending one show this season. And being a huge fan of designer Marc Jacobs, I was excited to attend his show for the Fall 2010 collection last night. And I was not dissapointed. The last few season have been interesting for Marc. After trying some experimental concepts (none really favorable by myself), he seems to have gone back to the basics, and did what he did best: luxorious uncomplicated American clothes with an edge. Yes, the video I shot with my FLIP camera, is horrible. After trying to get a few shots for my loyal readers, I decided to put the camera down and just enjoy the show. You can peep Vogue Editor Anna Wintour across the way from me.

The colors were mostly a muted pallete of soft and darker greys, beiges and soft blues, with occasional pop of yellow, which seem to really work. There was a nice mix of simple patterns used. A large bold black and grey Herringbone pattern, that popped up a few times in coats and skirts. Also a jumble pattern of brown, black, light grey houndstooth on one of the skirt(see photo), definitely a favorite. And something different for Marc was a few eveninwear looks towards the end, that I could see making an appearance on the occasional red carpet. This was classic Marc Jacobs show, yet upgraded. I rate it a 9.5!

Corey @ VNY off to an impressive start

Not even five days into New York Fashion Week, and my predictions are so far correct for male fashion model Corey (VNY). So far he has walked (...or stood) at the 3.1 Phillip Lim show, the DKNY presentation, Victor Glemaud and the Rag & Bone show. Very impressive. I anticipate many more to come.
*Stay tuned.... I have a special treat for my loyal readers during NY Fashion Week. I will be attending the biggest show of the season: Marc Jacobs!

Men's Trend Alert Spring 2010: Varsity Baseball Bomber

I will make my pick for top trend for Spring 2010 for men: the Varsity Baseball Bomber Jacket. Yes, the classic jacket that has been around for decades. But this season high end fashion labels are creating it in luxury fabrics. Wool, leather and cashmere. Definitely not for the high school playing fields. APC, Bottega Veneta, TOPSHOP and Proenza Schouler are just a few of the labels that are picking up on the trend. My pick is the grey cashmere version done by Club Monaco. After a bit of saving up my coins, I think this one could be added to my Spring 2010 shopping list.

Corey @ VNY agency

Everyone knows black fashion models on the runway, are far few in between. Black MALE models are even more rare. I came across this model, Corey, on COACDINC.com (Confessions of A Casting Director), and I predict huge things for him with upcoming Fashion shows. Not just in NYC, but I predict him doing the Paris and Milan men's shows as well next season.

Legendary Ms. Harlow

Ms Harlow is a legend! A fashion supermodel legend, if you will. And definitely a favorite of mine. The modeling jobs aren't fast and furious as they used to be (by her choice I'm sure). She can currently be seen in a spread in March US Harpers Bazaar. The shoot was styled by Melanie Ward, and photographed by Glen Luchford. Its edgy enough to keep up with the artsy kids. But still sophisticated.

Singer, actress, and current muse of Ricardo Tisci (Givenchy's current creative Director), Ciara wore Givenchy, to not only the Grammy awards, but also the Pre-grammy party thrown by Clive Davis, the night before. Both looks were fresh from the spring couture collections, that Ciara attended the week prior.
