Grunge for the Modern Girl at Proenza Schouler

Last night Lazaro Hernandez and Jack Mc Coullough of Proenza Schouler presented their Fall 2010 collection.

After a wowed Spring 2010 presentation with influences from the deep blue sea and scuba gear, Lazaro and Jack offered a smart and sexy collection for the New York It Girls.

With Selma Blair, Mary-Kate Olsen and other darlings in the front row, what came down the runway were sexy flannel dresses with strategically placed cut-outs, skirts with mesh insets paired with thigh-high tights and towering wooden platforms.

The Fall 2010 collection definitely had hints of sexy school girl with a grunge attitude, from the messy hair, dark-hued lips and paint-splattered high-waist jeans to a blazer with fur trimmings and plaid mini-skirts.

This collection was definitely one of my favorites. Kudos!

Successful Debut collection for LaQuan Smith

21 year old LaQuan Smith had a great turn out at the presentation of his debut collection this past Monday. An indication that this designer has a very promising future.

With exaggerated shoulders, pleats, feminine detail in jewel tone colors, the Fall 2010 collection was very promising.

The collection also had an aquatic undertone, as shown in the blue pleated, structured jacket with exaggerated shoulders.

A self-taught designer from Queens, New York, LaQuan has been designing for 8 years. I'd say a successful debut for the young designer.

L.A.M.B. 2010 comes to fashion week

Gwen Stefani brought her clothing line L.A.M.B. to fashion week yesterday.

L.A.M.B. which stands for Love Angel Music Baby was started in 2003. The line is based on a lot of things Gwen herself would wear. Edgy, stylish and sexy.

The 2010 fall collection included garters, leopord print and leather. There were lots of skinny jeans as well as fitted shirts and ankle high booties.

These fashionable pieces don't need a special occasion they can be worn anytime for anything.

Not only were her models looking great in L.A.M.B. but they had Gwens style with the thick bangs, smokey eyes and bright lipstick.

You can see and buy L.A.M.B. clothing at www.gwenclothing.com

For the last 15 years Bryant Park has housed the tents for some of the most well known fashion people during fashion week, however...  the event has new plans for 2010. Fashion Week says Goodbye to Bryant Park and hello to their new home for 2010, the Lincoln Center. That is the A, B, C, D, and 1 trains uptown if you're downtown and downtown if you're up town and if you're on the upper east side, I can't even help you. We all know the ones who live there never leave there and the ones who don't never go there. Haha juusssst kidding or am I? :)
