Top Picks: Part 1

Well, New York Fashion Week is officially over, and I can start showing my favorites from the week. I have too many that I narrowed them down to 10(ish), so I'll split it up into three posts of favorite designers overall and some favorite looks that I wasn't expecting. I was pretty thrilled with everything for FW this fashion week, a lot blew me away and took it to another level. I've already mentioned here that I saw a trend of oranges that I'm loving so much, with that I've also noticed a lot more velvet (YES, I love velvet) and more sheer, more black, more color blocking and knits. All of which I'm thrilled about.

First five favorites in alphabetical order:

Adam - gorgeous shapes, knits, shoes, tights and detailing of the knits won me over.

Costello Tagliapietra - in love with the colors and the blocking of different colors used, the dull green, pinks and oranges are gorgeous

Julian Louie - this to me is so wearable, I would die for any of it, of course the neutral colors and pale ones made me love this so much.

Milly - I was surprised I enjoyed Milly's line as much as I did, I usually am not a fan but I loved the color blocking and the textured tights. The patterns she used made me think private school, and Paris for some reason!

Finding the way to fashion

I've been in love with the work of Elisabeth Lecourt for awhile now, but haven't brought it up here. Her work with maps and how she folds them is so amazing, I would love to own her work and either frame it, or wear it!

& so it begins

It's official as of 9a.m. this morning fashion week has begun! I'm so excited to start seeing all the designer's lines. I thought I'd share one of my favorites so far of designer Lyn Devon.

I'm really obsessing over the pant length, open backs and full skirts that she's put together. The color palette is equally amazing - the dusty orange lilac purple and neon yellow fit perfectly with the whites, blacks and navy blues.

On another note: Alexander McQueen, you will be missed by everyone and anyone that cares the slightest bit about fashion - you were amazing <3

What do you think? What is your favorites of todays shows?
