IT"S FASHION WEEK! (Collections to Watch)

First, I'd like to address, that Fashion Week is a little different this year. There's been a Mass Exodus from the tents, but not just to the Salon and the Promenade, but to Milk Studios and Exit Art (the Armory too, but I'm going to ignore Marc Jacobs, Y3 can come play, though!). The tents are showing some hideous Nonsense like QVC & Spanx (how does Spanx even have a fashion show, no one wants to see a bunch of models parading nude suits up and down a catwalk.) Anyway, let's check out some Designers to watch.

This is my list of Up&Coming or Sort-of Established & Completely New designers to look out for at NY Fashion Week!

Vena Cava

Why? Great, Wearable dresses & leather pieces for slightly irreverent young women.
Where & When? 1st Thurs, 12PM @ Milk


Daniel Vosovic

Why? Arguably the rightful winner of Proj Run: Season 2. This young man is showing his first collection and the above sketch interests me and shows some growth from his BravoTV days. Plus, He's cute.
When & Where? Thursday, 1 PM @ Exit Art

Preen

Why?I've been watching Preen for awhile, and I believe that the aesthetic Preen promotes translates really well in the real world, as well as flatters a lot of different young ladies.
When & Where? Friday, 12PM @ Milk

Ohne Titel

Why? This label first caught my eye during Fall 2009. The designers understand structure and mathermatics, and I think that translates interestingly in the clothes.
When & Where? Saturday, 1PM @ ExitArt


Zero + Maria Cornejo

Why? Conceptually, this label is a little hard to swallow, but I think they elevate American fashion just a bit, and are going to be in it for the long haul. Plus, they have a handle on shape and proportion.
When & Where? Monday, 11AM @ Hosfelt Gallery

Leifsdottir

Why?: I'm a HUGE fan of this label. I started spotting them sometime this winter after borrowing a beautiful dress of theirs from a friend. FALL 2010 is their first time showing at Fashion Week! & I see nothing but great things in their future.
Where & When? 2nd Thursday, 430 PM @ Prince George Ballroom


now, i'm off to ride into the snowy darkness.
