There is absolutely no doubt where you need to be to wear Marchesa. These are gowns made for red carpets and no mistake. Pardon me if I am being presumptuous, but you and I, dear Grazia Daily reader, are unlikely ever to need a Marchesa dress. Even if you win the lottery or one of your relatives marries into the royal family, you can safely and confidently rest assured that this is...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/17/nyfw-s-s-10-show-report--marchesa.htmThu, 17 Sep 2009 11:27:19 +0100http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/17/nyfw-s-s-10-show-report--marchesa.htm
The Michael Kors summer collection – that has got to mean hunks in trunks! Michael’s glossy models rarely come down the runway unaccompanied and the guys are usually rather minimally clad, which creates a certain frisson in the audience. The audience itself is always an entertainment. The lunching ladies are all there: Trumps, Duponts, Lauders, Rockefellers. All the big American...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/17/nyfw-s-s-10-show-report--michael-kors.htmThu, 17 Sep 2009 10:27:23 +0100http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/17/nyfw-s-s-10-show-report--michael-kors.htm


It kicked off with a series of red tailored suits (another big NY 2010 summer...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/17/nyfw-s-s-10-show-report--31-phillip-lim.htmThu, 17 Sep 2009 09:49:20 +0100http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/17/nyfw-s-s-10-show-report--31-phillip-lim.htm
In between shows yesterday, I made time for a quick visit to the Helmut Lang showroom for a presentation of the summer collection. Imagine how hard it must be to step into the shoes of one of the coolest designers ever. Well Nicole and Michael Colovos have somehow managed it with a look that is both deferential to classic Helmut and individual. I have never seen so many cool jackets...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/16/helmut-lang-prompts-a-shopping-trip.htmWed, 16 Sep 2009 16:47:43 +0100http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/16/helmut-lang-prompts-a-shopping-trip.htm
This feels like a collection in waiting. Next season Marios Schwab takes the creative helm, but until then this label is staying in safe and familiar territory. The main event was the launch of the new fragrance, which is being used to drive the summer look. The key notes are poppy and lavender and so were the main colours. Long layered chiffon gowns, short cocoon cloque cocktail...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/16/halston-s-transitional-period.htmWed, 16 Sep 2009 13:43:34 +0100http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/16/halston-s-transitional-period.htm
Erin Wasson + RVCA line = the epitome of downtown New York hipster cool, but you’ll be happy to hear the model-turned-designer also has a soft spot for British fashion, which first caught her eye as she traveled the word in her modeling days. Now a capable designer, Erin has just unveiled her third collection with RVCA as well as an affordable range of her jewellery line LowLuv....]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/16/erin-wasson-on-recovering-from-her-first-show.htmWed, 16 Sep 2009 11:20:48 +0100http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/16/erin-wasson-on-recovering-from-her-first-show.htm
Now close your eyes and I’ll take you up town to the Marc by Marc Jacobs show. You are going to the Armoury on Lexington Avenue. The is a military establishment and home to a real regiment, except for twice a year during fashion week when the Marc Jacobs posse moves in with the Fighting 69th. There are big muscly men in military fatigues hanging over the balconies looking like they...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/16/nyfw-s-s-10-show-report--marc-by-marc-jacobs.htmWed, 16 Sep 2009 10:39:49 +0100http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/16/nyfw-s-s-10-show-report--marc-by-marc-jacobs.htm
I vote the Mulleavy sisters the coolest girls in America. They deliver collections that are consistently slick and reference nothing else but their own past work. Theirs is one of only a handful of labels in New York that truly deserves international fashion status. Karl Lagerfeld buys Rodarte pieces to give as presents for his team, for heaven’s sake. And yet, they still look like...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/16/nyfw-s-s-10-show-report--rodarte.htmWed, 16 Sep 2009 10:35:50 +0100http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/16/nyfw-s-s-10-show-report--rodarte.htm
Diane von Furstenberg's woman has always been the nomad and the dreamer. This season's muse is no exception, especially if the nomad 'travels' by private jet and 'dreams' of sipping cocktails at Mediterranean poolside parties. So you won't be wearing much of this to work next Spring but if you're planning on playing the Bohemian Global Goddess come June, July or August then look no...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/15/nyfw-s-s-10-report--dvf.htmTue, 15 Sep 2009 11:38:22 +0100http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/15/nyfw-s-s-10-report--dvf.htm
I loved the shoes at Thakoon! Particularly the suede heels cut in Chinese lantern strips. But I expected a bit more than good shoes from a young man who has given Michelle Obama some of her most memorable outfits over the last year and who had a pretty amazing cameo role in The September Issue (for those who spent their summer on Christmas Island, that would be the docu-soap about the...]]>http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/15/nyfw-s-s-10-report--thakoon.htmTue, 15 Sep 2009 09:43:15 +0100http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/newyork/archive/2009/09/15/nyfw-s-s-10-report--thakoon.htm
