New York Fashion Week

Tonight is 'christmas eve' for London's fashionistas as tomorrow marks the first day for London Fashion Week!
I've flown back from Switzerland in order to be here [unfortunately not to attend buyer/fashion editor/fashionable celebrity style, although if any Fashion Willie Wonkas with access to golden tickets are reading, you know where to find me! ;-) ], on a plus note there will be daily highlights and live streaming at venues all over London with a digital schedule so no missing your favourite designer :-)
however, in order to contain my excitement I'm going to focus of the New York Runways that kick of the seasons schedule.

My top three favourite shows from New York were

3. Herve Leger by Max Azria

Max and Lubov Azria make beautiful fitting clothes in sumptuous fabrics, be it for the main line, BCBG or Herve Leger. bodycon dresses and flippy sixties/school girl style skirts were the order of the day in classic neutral and metallic colours. There were strappy embellishments, slightly Greek, quite equestrian and a touch bondage style but all done is tasteful ways as well as select detailing.

2.Rodarte

A largely neutral colour scheme it is the interesting detailing, geometric shapes and patterns that make this collection so wearable. the stand out pieces for glamour are the full length silk dresses with scarf-esque neckline and corn field print at the bottom. Soft woollen coats also make up part of the collection to take the lighter coloured clothing into a more winter-friendly and wearable range. full skirted 50's inspired skirts and dresses graced the catwalk alongside tailored trousers to make a fully covetable, entirely wearable collection.

1.Marchesa

Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig cited their inspiration as Charles Dickens' Miss Havisham from Great Expectations this season, trying to convey the Gothic, tragic bride elements of the novel.This was a fantastically dramatic show; imagine you're favourite fairytale characters, come to life and dressed in fabulous fabrics. It was little red riding hood, Maleficent, Odette and a fairy godmother in one fashion story down the runway. The palette was limited to blood red, pure white, jet black, and a few ethereal off white tones, made too look like soft clouds. And all that drama made me want every single piece despite the fact that I rarely have occasion to dress like a princess, especially not a dramatic one!
