New York Fashion Week Spring 2011

First day of fashion week! GREAT start to the new local in NY, it was kicked off by Nicholas K, Willow, Christian Siriano, Project Runway and my favorite of the day [Lyn Devon] and much more.  My take was effortless fashion, muted colors, tailored and a play on volume. Time for some pics. These are my favorite looks from select shows of the day...

Maxed Out Minimalism

Sadly i have been neglecting my poor belletristic, i blame senior year of college, which believe me is hard to even say out loud that i am indeed a senior in college. But on ward and upward lets talk fash, because after all that is the air we all breathe. Minimalism is a growing trend and one that i have never quite been able to duplicate.  Coco Chanel once said put on all of your accessories but remove one before you walk out the door, i tend to agree and i am almost always overdone, i'll admit it.  In a world full of colors and patterns and complicated seams and beadings, sometimes its refreshing  to retreat to the simplest form of beauty, minimalism.  These clothes are not attention-grabbing, but that's where their beauty lies.  [Simplicity] and luxury combine to elegant effect in the new pared-down chic.  Of course designers like Calvin Klein, Celine, Chloe and Stella McCartney are almost always using sleek linear lines, but other houses such as Gucci, Preen, Jil Sander and more...
