Being Young and Green

Love this surreal video and editorial shot by Daniel Thomas Smith. It's feminine, modern, completely charming. It also features artwork by Rosanna Webster and is styled by Jeanie Annan-Lewin for Dossier Journal.


NYFW: Altuzarra's Gilded Age



I know this is so last week, but I just couldn't let this collection slip by unnoticed on the blog. If ever a warm and fuzzy fashion feeling existed, it's for sure for something beautiful like what Joseph Altuzarra sent down the runway in New York for Fall 2012. Velvets, tweeds, knits, furs, fringed boots, and pencil skirts. Love.
 

NYFW: The Ragtag Band Of Misfits, Otherwise Known As Creatures of the Wind



Welcome to the circus! The Creatures of the Wind show was one that I was looking forward to thanks to the Hulu.com show The Fashion Fund. If you have not watched an episode of this you are going to thank me in a minute for the recommendation. The couple/designers behind this collection are as adorable as their collection. It gives a special brand of excitement to see these playful and quirky images on my screen — an emotion previously reserved for Marc Jacobs....more on him later.

I love the complete embrace of the crafty and hand made feel. The knits, the studs. It's capturing the entusiasm of an individual that customizes their clothes with studs, sequins, patches, and presents it with the polish of a prep-school girl.

NYFW: Rag & Bone Lovin'



Rag & Bone is for everyone. It's one of my favorite things about the collections. Marcus Wainwright and David Neville manage to create collections that speak to more than one type of woman. They consistently deliver unique and wearable looks (entire looks, people) and so focused on workmanship that it's hard not to be a fan. One look at the styling of this collection and it's easy to see that a lot of thought is going into the layering of these intricately printed pieces. A simple skirt is not so simple because it is a sleek hybrid of chevron patterned leather strips with wool embroidered accents.

It's overall feeling of decadence. From the gloves, to the belts, to the coats (the coats!) with the fur accents, I suspect this completely rational winter wear is going to be quite popular this coming fall. Love!

NYFW: Draped, Color-Blocked Ladies at BCBG


Max Azria continues the inspired use of color with refreshing mid-calf lengths, velvety cool colors, and warm fur highlights. The overall effect is one of optimism and sporty feminism. I like how covered up everyone looks but the collection has sheer touches in the long-length skirts that give a little more skin exposure. The best part is how comfortable and easy these look. Skinny jeans, crop tops, your days are numbered.

NYFW: Michael Angel's Energetic Prints & Knits



What's not to love here? Oversized knits? Yes. A lovely model that's anything but boring? Check. A continuation of Michael Angel's celestial prints updated with texture and new shapes? YES. The restrained palette is refreshing to me as I'm really taking a liking to monochromatic uses of grey with punches of color. It looks sophisticated and youthful, and frankly less goth than black can be. Does this mean I'm over the black on black? NEVER!
