New York Fashion Week Fall09

It's the time of the year again! Fall09 NY Fashion Week has begun (ok, it started couple of days ago but forgive me, had a busy weekend) and I'm just going to cover it sporadically, whatever I can find on the net and give a few words of my opinion along with some (not my) pictures. Here goes!

Day 1
Jason Wu

the show that everyone's been waiting for and trying to get into. Who liked the dress that he designed for Michelle Obama wore at the Inauguration Ball? I thought it was pretty but somehow didn't quite suit Michelle Obama... Anyways his fall collection had plenty of prim and proper lady-like looks, super pretty gowns and only a handful of coats, jackets and pant suits. (if you want to dress pretty, brace the cold!) I quite like the gauzy grey gress on the right, it's got a very pretty look to it.

Abaeté
had a mostly somber palette of black, white and grey. I liked the collection as a whole, the lines were sleek and the looks were clean and polished. I can imagine myself wearing most of these designs.The last look on the right just looks like what everyone's been wearing the past couple of seasons...

Rag & Bone
I love, love the preppy, tailored look that Rag & Bone has got going! (Sorry, I haven't noticed much of the men's clothes) The looks just remind of some cool European student, dangling a ciggy in their fingers, hanging out with their friends whilst bracing the winter cold looking très chic. I gotta get me one of those blazers.

Scott Schuman, aka The Sartorialist has started doing his street snaps for Style.com since the start of the fashion week. I love this girl's outfit. The colour coordination of the outfit is great. I'm mean, have you ever seen a bright yellow shirt look this nice? (I had bright yellow shirt for my high school uniform. stayed clear from yellow shirts ever since...)
