Fashion Week!

No one does Ready to Wear garments like Americans. This week in New York it's Mercedes Benz fashion week. Here's a few highlights from the shows. 

The Rodarte show is one I always look forward to seeing. They are two sisters, not formally trained in fashion and new comers to the industry. This year they pulled out a lot of suits, exaggerated collars and earthy prints on slim dresses. Some of the looks were a little 'grandma-y' while others were classic and clean. The carmel leather shoes were to die for!

Michael Kors debuted fall with a rugged glamour for this collection. There was a lot of red plaid and red buffalo check, and a daring mixing on the two. Large coats and fur collars with shapes that harken back to 1940's starlets but then toughened up with black leather and furry boots.

Theyskens' Theory is a label that is consistently wearable, contemporary, and smart.  It epitomizes cool and professional. There were some more daring sheer, meshy pieces, and sprinkling of leather but nothing that wouldn't do for a night out. Dresses hit around the natural waist, there were over sized sweaters and coats. This is a great collection for inspiration on how to mix your weekend wardrobe into your work attire.
