the best/worst of nyfw

Judging by my butt hurt silence on the subject, I'm sure you can guess I did not receive a special invitation to sit front-row at any New York Fashion Week shows. HOW RUDE.

I did however, deign to sift through all 9,000 photos on Style.com to pick out my favorites and least favorites.

First, the highlights:


Photobucket
Candy-colored paint splatters (and kick-ass platforms) at Alexandre Herchcovich, supreme print-mixing at Proenza Schouler, and sporty stripes and roomy slacks (and a blue turban that I need on my head right now) at Jason Wu.


Photobucket
Loving the long, neutral silhouettes brought to us by Bensoni, Prabal Gurung, and Matthew Ames


Photobucket

Woodsy prints at Rodarte, tea-stained lace at Vivienne Tam, and furry, pom-pom knits at Frank Tell

And now, the lowlights, AKA anything so ugly that I would rather wear a dead baby or strap flaming turds to my feet.


Photobucket
The only addition that could make this dress more suggestive of female genitalia would be to have a long red chiffon scarf poking out of the middle--or a babydoll head. (Marchesa)

Photobucket
This outfit is available for less at your local Wilson's Leather (Ralph Lauren)

Photobucket
Not sure whether a hip pocket for your electric razor and a couple of tubes of lipgloss is an amazing idea or just a really really misguided one. Thanks, VPL, for thoroughly confusing me.

Do you want the world to be your gynecologist AND make it look like you don't have a waist?!? Then boy oh boy do I have the monokini for you... (Staerk)

What were your favorites/least favorites from NYFW?

    Hahahaha I am very amused by the ones you don't like. I TOTALLY agree about that Marchesa dress...so unfortunate since the other dresses were gorgeous

    Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! This is hilarious. I hope the person at Ralph Lauren was taken out and shot somewhere and the baby head poking out of that dress would have been the best thing that ever happened to it. The photos in your last post are gorgeous! It looks very pretty and WARM there. :) x

    p.s. my laptop got stolen over the weekend so I might be slightly AWOL for a bit! :(
