Fashion week certainly got off to a bang last week with Fashion's Night (if you attended any of the events, we'd love for you to comment. Personally, I thought Stella McCartney's veggie food truck and sustainable cocktails were worth the wait if you made it out.). And, as the week unfolds, designers have delivered big time with clothes that are both wearable and interesting.The most exciting development in fashion week so far is that it's the smaller fashion houses--not the big names--that have debuted the most creative and artistic collections. Thuy is my favorite. A tailored gold motorcycle inspired jacket that you can wear to work and out? Charge it. Bibhu Mohapatra delivered a collection with some of the most inspired cocktail dresses I've ever seen--her blue silk overlay dress is certainly going to fly off the shelves. And Barbara Tfank's fifties inspired wallpaper dresses are perfect for the office, a Sunday afternoon, or a funky party.
So far, New York Fashion Week wins the "Most Improved" award after last year's boring parade of Banana Republic-esque dresses and slacks. Keep up the good work!
