trendhunting: nyfw

Clearly an individual with far too much time on my hands, I assembled the following trends during my obsessive internet wanderings.

Faux Bois--which is a the snotty French way of saying 'fake wood'. Whatever you want to call it, there was more wood grain in the Spring 2011 collections than in your uncle's Cadillac.

L to R: Rodarte, Diesel Black Gold, Christian Siriano, Chado Ralph Rucci

Collars--not necessarily in conjunction with button-downs either. Some were just added to sheer tops and black shift dresses.

L to R: Isaac Mizrahi, 3.1 Philip Lim, Davidelfin, Cynthia Rowley

Triangles--whether in cutouts or inserts, the thrice pointed shape was having a moment.

L to R: VPL, Juan Carlos Obando, Max Azria, Prabal Gurung

Plastics--or plasticine finishes were errwhere. Shiny rules.

L to R: Rad Hourani, Acne, ThreeAsFour, Reed Krakoff

Hip Curtains--Don't know what else to call these. Hip drapes?
Photobucket
L to R: L'Wren Scott, Sophie Theallet, Erin Fetherston, Herve Leger

Pointed Hems--adds interest to the season's new minimalism, or mixed prints.

L to R: Cushnie Et Ochs, Julian Louie, Kimberly Ovitz, Rodarte

  1. Looks like there are some curious new shapes - and not much with a retro feel - are we finally moving into the future?

  3. Well, there has been a total return to futuristic elegance. Rodarte that is usually so avant garde was composed and reserved just as Proenza Schouler. I'm quite excited if this all will have repercussions in Paris!

  4. great choices, i love them all! i think my faves are the wood grain ones.

    i'm following your blog now, it's very inspiring! i too, have expensive tastes, but no money to indulge in the exorbitant couture that i'd like, so i settle on what i can afford :) come say hi!

  5. I love the mixing of textures and prints, looking messy is the best.

  6. Kinda love the last set, even though most of these silhouettes are nothing new (then again, everything gets recycled in fashion). Loving that shiny Acne skirt...
