Fashion Week has come to an end and we thought we’d share some of our favorites with you. Of course, we always have to show some love to those designers who support the local NYC Garment Center. Especially those who work tirelessly on the Save the Garment Center campaign like Nannette Lepore. Her show was inspired by renaissance themes and filled with feminine jewel toned frocks. We especially liked all her use of yummy velvet!
We also adore Anna Sui who made it clear how unhappy she was that Fashion Week was moving out of the Garment Center. In her show we saw the usual wild pairings of colors, prints, patterns and textures in Sui’s fantastic trademark hippie-glam style. We also loved the more unexpected addition of the elegant retro flapper dresses.
We have a new obsession with Chris Benz, he is another local designer who believes, “our responsibility is to support the domestic garment industry.” We found this excellent video of him discussing the issue here:
Throughout the week many designers have made an effort to support local manufacturing and business and we would like to see that trend continue.
So what else did we like from fashion week? Well there was a lot actually, but here are some favs, with images courtesy of NY Mag.
