New York Fashion Week continues and so do my unsolicited opinions...
Theyskens’ Theory

I adore Olivier Theyskens. Just when I expect to see a consistent collection of perfect slouchy basics and well-tailored separates, he unleashes luxe winter wear replete with beading, silks, and lush wools. If it couldn’t get any better, he sent so many formal shorts down the runway, I couldn’t contain my excitement. I LOVE a formal short. And I really love them in leather.

Lam’s Fall 2012 collection proves that he is an over-acheiver. This season’s collection is clearly the work of a perfectionist, balancing the fashion industry’s renewed love of prints and the codes of a classic New York wardrobe. The paired-down, minimalist formal wear may not prove to be a hit on the red carpet circuit, but it’s bound to be on every fashion girl’s shopping list come fall.

In case you forgot that New York has some insane fashion, no worries, Thom Browne will remind you of our avant garde sensibilities. Shapes exaggerated the human form, bringing the almost two dimensional models into 3D. There's a simultaneous sentiment of both melancholy and humor in this collection (and perhaps a small nod to the late and great Alexander McQueen?). This is a collection for the thinking fashion enthusiast and it just works.

Full disclosure, I worked for Marc Jacobs not too long ago, so I may be biased, but OMG. Fashion hasn't been this much fun since Wall Street killed the economy and took creativity in consumer goods along with it. Thank you Marc for reminding us all that it's just fashion and that's frickin' fabulous.
