This Fall, We'll All Be Flappers On Acid In French Boarding Schools

Jennifer — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:30:00 EST

New York Fashion Week kicked off on Friday at the tents in Bryant Park, and in the ensuing three days, plenty of big-name designers have given us their vision of what women can look forward to, sartorially that is, once winter passes, summer swelters, and the chill sets in again. Designers as disparate as Diane von Furstenberg and Baby Phat played with the idea of the modern flapper: Dropped hems, deco styling, thoroughly modern (Millie), all of it. But if heading for a night out at your local speakeasy is not your thing, fret not: Fashion-minded females can always play prim and proper (and somewhat naughty) by embodying the French school girl chic shown at DKNY and Tracy Reese. After the jump, and using ten representative images from each show, Dodai and I weigh in on The Good, The Bad & The Ugly from these shows (and others) following Fashion Week's first, incredibly exhausting, weekend.

Vera Wang, Proenza Schouler, Catherine Malandrino: The Critics "Speak"

amparry — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 12:00:00 EDT

It's shocking, we know, but some people take Fashion Week really, really seriously. Designers shudder and quake in anticipation as the world's top "fashion journalists" pull out their best and most pretentious purple prose reviewing the Spring/Summer 2008 collections. In our next primer on what the major critics have to say about the shows at New York Fashion Week, we've got Wang (seen at left), Malandrino, Rowley, Taylor, Preen, Schouler (as in "Proenza") and Phat (as in "Baby"). First up, Wang, the favorite designer of the NY Times' feared and hated Cathy Horyn. More »
